Reorganizing My Make-up Storage

HPIM0013

Several weeks ago I shared with you my horrible disarray that is the top of my dresser.  I found a way to organize my jewelry by making a necklace holder.  The next step in this project was my out of control make-up. I decided to make something that is neat and easily cleaned.  Most importantly is that I need my make-up to be hidden. I bought a bolt and nail holder at The Home … [Read more...]

Making An Old Dresser New Again

HPIM0057

I admit it: the boys had super cheap dressers.  Needless to say they fell apart about a year ago, but we never got around to getting new stuff.  A couple months ago I decided I wanted really good wood as apposed to plywood, and that was going to be over our budget.  I didn't care what shape it would be in, so I thought I'd go to second hand stores and garage sales.  I also told my parents, who … [Read more...]

DIY Necklace Holder

dresser mess

I admit it my dresser is a mess disaster (see below).  It has come to the point where it is DRIVING ME CRAZY.  I don't have a lot of storage in my room/house.  It is 100 years old after all.  Plus it doesn't help that our room is the size of small match book.  I know you are saying stop complaining already. First I wanted to start with organizing my jewelry.  If you look at the … [Read more...]

Treat Bag Tutorial

Treat Bags Finish

I did it!  I put myself out there.  I put out an APB on SITS Girls Forum for friends.  I wanted to have some people to call my posse.  I had 1 or 2 already, but I'm selfish and I want more.  I got an e-mail from Sara of Sara's Organized Chaos [and her quest for world domination] (also known as Strand Update).  I knew just from the name of her blog we were MFEO (made for each other).  Turns … [Read more...]

Wednesday DIY Organization and More

Welcome to another Wednesday of great projects around the internet.  Yet again, I wonder when I'll have time to do these wonderful things. My husband may not be organized (OK that's an understatement), but he does have some silly little quirks.  One of which is the coaster under the glass everywhere.  We have more drink coasters then I can count.  When I saw DIY Mod Podge Tile Coasters on … [Read more...]

Making Your Own Photo Gallery

paint

When we moved into the house [1.5 years ago], I knew one thing I really wanted was a photo gallery wall.  We had a lot of stuff we needed to get done on the house so of course I had to find an inexpensive way to make this happen.  I was very particular about what color I wanted the frames to be, and I wanted them to be different sizes. I looked on many websites, went to many different stores … [Read more...]
