Using Your Scrap Wood Pile: DIY Modern Plant Stand Tutorial

Using Your Scrap Wood Pile: DIY Modern Plant Stand Tutorial

I’ve been known to dumpster dive a time or two. I’ve also been known to take my neighbors trash not once, twice or even three times. I find pleasure in turning others trash into my treasures.

Ikea Hack Adding Campaign Hardware to the Kallax Shelf Using Rub ‘n Buff

When I started working on my office, I knew I needed a storage piece that would hold all of my craft supplies so naturally I headed to Ikea. When I purchased the shelf and desk it was called the Expedit but now it’s called Kallax. A lot of bloggers have this storage system because it holds a lot and can be styled so beautifully. I used

DIY Office Closet Desk, An Organized Cloffice Space

DIY Office Closet Desk, An Organized Cloffice Space

I’ve mentioned a few times here before that I have ADHD. While I used to think it was a curse, it really is a blessing. People with ADHD see the world differently than the average person and evidence shows that we are more creative than our peers. The difference, my creativity can only be productive when my environment is a certain way. I’ve read so many books and

Courage for the Crisis, My New Orleans Story

Soon after Hurricane Katrina, I had the chance to travel to New Orleans in an effort to help rebuild the city. I’ve been wanting to write this post since I started blogging but I’ve been hesitant to share. Sometimes strangers behind keyboards can be quite cruel. As cliche as it may sound, the words used to write this post are very hard to find because

#OperationDreamCloset Update

This weekend I started on my dream closet again. I’ve been working on it for a while and it’s coming along but I’m not ready to share the entire project yet. 🙂 Here is what happened this weekend.

Organized Dog Leashes

Organized Dog Leashes

Over his almost three years of life, Toby has acquired many collars and leashes. To keep things organized and cute, I put together this dog leash hook and it now lives in the entry closet underneath the stairs. I have quite a bit of scrap wood in the garage so instead of buying more, I decided to use what I had. I glued two  pieces

Laundry Room Organization

Laundry Room Organization

First let me say that I am very grateful for everything that we have. With that said, if I could have a larger laundry room, that would be amazing. It’s just not functional. You may recall that Hubs built this lovely pedestal which provides storage and lift to  the washer and dryer. As much as I love it, it’s just not functional for our small space. Yep,
