Storage and Organization

Since I having my Son this year I have found that life is busy and hard to keep clean and organized. I tried to prepare my home before my son was born by organizing area's of my house. My first order of business was getting the closet in my son's room organized. I went to Pinterest for closet inspiration.

Below are the 2 blogs I found that inspired my son's closet organization.

We had to space plan the walk in closet in Leo's room before we went out and bought our shelving and clothing rods. We were able to get this closet set up on a budget of $220.00. We went to Home depot and purchased

The Martha Stewart 6 cube organizer

Martha Stewart 9 Cube organizer

ClosetMaid Selectives 25 in. White Custom Closet Organizer

RiverRidge Kids 2 Pc Fabric Cube - Green Additional View 1
Green cloth storage bins


Putting together the cubes and the shelving unit were easy. It really helped planning of the closet space before we installed. We were able to utilize and maximize all the space in the closet. 







There are great storage options out in stores right now! I did a little research and found great looking storage bins in Home Goods and Michaels. Michael's was having a sale and clearance on a lot of storage bins plus they have coupons available online. 





Home Good's has great storage options not only for Baby, Kid and Adult's but Pet's too.

Master Bedroom Retreat Makeover

Image
Before Master Bedroom View of the bedroom from the sliding glass door. The bed was on the wall to left of the sliding glass door. Dresser was directly across from the bed. The before issues the couple had with their bedroom was the need to have a bedroom retreat to relax. The room was cluttered, the bedroom furniture was crowding and cramming area's of the room. The color of the room, curtains and bedspread/sheets clashed with the color of the furniture. The room was lacking a unified color scheme. After Master bedroom Shorter dresser now sits on the wall were the bed was placed. The tall dresser went on the opposite wall of the shorter dresser. The wall with the sliding glass door The furniture was rearranged to make the room open and spacious. The furniture was spaced out through the room so not to crowd the space. The walls were painted Sparrow by Behr, new larger baseboards replaced the small baseboards and were painted

More Space Saving packing!

Image
Earlier I posted on space saving packing with my son's clothes. Now it's my turn to pack clothes for our vacation. Here is picture of how my suitcase has progressed through my packing. My clothes are on the left and my son's clothes are in the bin on the right.   I have taken the approach to packing my suitcase by stacking clothes together and then using a pair of pants as the envelope to secure everything.                                    I have a stack of shorts and dresses that are going together.   Next I stack all the clothes together and place them in the middle of the pants Folding the pants in half keeps my clothes together and easy to stick in my suitcase like a package.  I was able to put two stacks of clothes into the suitcase. That includes another stack with pants, shirts an PJ's. All I need now is my bag of toiletries and I am set for my trip!   NOW WE ARE READY TO GO!!!!

Hutch Makeover finally finished

Image
Another Thrift Store Hutch Makeover I love thrift store furniture makeovers! The furniture is at the right price and you can let your creativity take over. I bought this hutch for $50 at my favorite thrift store. Instead of sticking to Behr paint like I do with all my projects, I decided to try Devine Color and peel/stick wallpaper from Target. I'm very happy with the results! Here are the before pictures of my $50 Hutch. The color of the hutch wasn't my favorite but I liked the faux Bamboo trim and the Rattan weaving around the cabinet and doors. Before I started the priming and painting part of my project, I took the time and removed all the hardware off the hutch. I took all the hinges, screws and other hardware pieces and gave them a bath in Paint brush cleaner to remove all the old paint so everything looks brand new. Brush cleaner will remove any latex and oil based paint.  I used my new favorite oil based primer
