Where Unique, Chic and Organized Meet
We have been blessed to know 3 couples this year who had their 1st child this year. I wanted to make something special for them for each baby to commemorate their 1st Hanukkah, so I made an alpha bet wood block Menorah. It was a relatively easy and inexpensive item to make, but most importantly it would be something to remember the baby's 1st Hanukkah. Supplies: 10" Floating Shelf wood … [Read more...]

The new school year started and I went to our homework wall to make sure it was ready, and the cork tiles next to The Homework Caddy (review), were falling off. I had to yank them down, and re-think. About 2 years ago I had bought 2 magnetic cork boards for each of the kids' rooms. I covered 1 for A's room, but never did the one for the boys' room. I decided to pull it out, and use that on our … [Read more...]
One of the main reasons I love autumn is because of the vibrant colors that are associated with the season... harvest yellow, orange, and different shades of red. I'm going to show you how to make a really lovely centerpiece to bring some festivity into your home, or to give as a gift. You will spend a fraction of how much flower arrangements usually cost. In fact, the cost of the centerpiece … [Read more...]
J's teacher was looking for an art line to be put up across the classroom so she could clip the kids artwork on it. When she asked for a volunteer to help with putting one up I immediately told her I'd take care of it, and called my mentor/father. At the time she asked she had no clue how to facilitate an art line, so we came up with a plan. I described to him my thoughts, and as usual he made it … [Read more...]
I've had people compliment me on furniture pieces in my house, and when I tell them it was a piece of furniture that I had refinished, they cannot believe I would do that, let alone do it well. The truth is that anyone can do it. Refinishing furniture is not something you need expertise in. When we bought our new house I was on the prowl for great pieces of furniture that I could refinish. We … [Read more...]

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...]
