How many times have I found something interesting at a thrift store…brought it home…repurposed it for my blog…and then realized I didn’t know what to call it? I’ll answer that for you- LOTS AND LOTS OF TIMES. And so we have this thrift store find: a wooden candle stand or perhaps a wooden candelabra. Regardless of proper name, though, I knew right away I wanted it to become a ribbon organizer.Read more ›

I know everyone always talks about “Spring Cleaning”, but let me tell you- January, for me, is all about the purge! Organizing goes hand in hand with decluttering, so I decided to upcycle a recent Goodwill find into some Boho storage for jewelry. Read more ›
Fabric Organizer with a Wooden Gun Rack

A friend of mine found this wooden gun rack at a thrift store and figured I could upcycle it into something fun for my blog. And she was right! I mulled over different upcycling ideas before it occurred to me that it could become a fabric organizer for scrap fabric. And transforming it into my vision wouldn’t be hard at all!
DIY Clipboard and Garage Wall Organizer
August 11, 2015 · By · 50 Comments
For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a TERRIBLE habit of losing my gardening gloves. After some yard work, I’d come into the garage, rip off my gloves, and fling them wherever I could before going inside. It has led to countless trips to the hardware store to buy new gloves – wasteful in money, time, and well…gloves! So, it seemed high time that I create a DIY clipboard or a garage wall organizer that would be specifically dedicated to work gloves!

Even though we don’t have kids, Jon and I realized we really needed to focus on toy storage. Specifically, though, cat toy storage. Because our boys are VERY spoiled and have a ridiculous number of kitty toys that get strewn around on a regular basis.Read more ›

With my burgeoning love of sewing comes a need for storage for sewing supplies. And one of the things I wanted to have was a cute, functional pin cushion that had one additional feature- secrecy. That may sound crazy, but with a cat as curious as Cottonball, a secret pincushion is not all that far-fetched. And I decided that a vintage teapot would be the perfect thing to upcycle into a DIY pin cushion that could hide in plain sight.Read more ›

For years and years, I have stored our collection of gift wrap rolls in the box from our vacuum cleaner. No really, I have! But, the box is starting to fall apart, so I decided that I needed something else as wrapping paper storage. More specifically, vertical wrapping paper storage.

During a trip to West Palm Beach, we stopped in a nautical salvage shop. I picked up a bunch of fun odds and ends, including this vintage cigar box. I had wanted a one for a while now so that I could upcycle it into a DIY ring holder, and this one seemed to be the perfect size and shape.

Pin Holder from a Knife Stand and Balls of Twine

I’ve made a lot of jewelry organization projects in my time, but this is the only one specifically for brooches and pins. It’s a play off an idea I saw at an antiques store that used cotton string (straight from the hardware store) as a pin holder. And I knew right away I wanted to recreate my own version!
Magnetic Memo Board from a Cookie Tray

If your cookie tray starts to look old, rusty, or scratched up, they can be completely reborn into an organizer of sorts! I saw this idea first in GreenCraft magazine and wanted to recreate it right away. A magnetic memo board seemed like it would be SO handy for notes, recipes, etc.
