More Space Saving packing!

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.

Hutch Makeover finally finished

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.

New life in our old Ikea Furniture   The night stands in our Master bedroom are from Ikea and part of the Malm series. We bought our night stands and dressers a couple of years ago when we lived in our condo. They are still in good shape but they are lack luster in our bedroom. What do you do when your husband says NO to new furniture? You make over your current furniture. This project really didn't take much time and money to complete. I was able to get this project completed in 2 days.  To give our bedroom furniture new life I turned to my favorite spot for inspiration Pinterest. There is a company called O'verlays ,this company makes decorative fretwork panels for Ikea furniture. You choose which style of Ikea furniture you have and they give you the options of fretwork for your furniture piece. I picked one style for the night stands and one style for the dresser.  Supplies for this project   1. Zinsser Oil based Prim...
