Chalkboard Labels

As you can see below it got a little trashed with use. It was also disorganized and didn’t really save me… Read the rest
Creative Storage Solutions Week #7 – Tool Boxes
I cannot emphasize enough how much I love old tool boxes. The more rust and dents, the more I swoon. Strange, I know. But alas, it’s still true.

Linen Closet Makeover – Part 1
This is my linen closet:
It’s itty bitty, and a whole lotta mess. With a little work it has some serious potential. I have a few ideas on how to get this closet back in shape. First, I need some organization.
After a major purge, I got rid of about half of the bedding and old towels that were living here.
