Color Inspiration for President’s Day

Posted by: on February 10th, 2012 | 3 Comments

With a three-day weekend about to begin, take the extra couple of hours of vacation to complete a quick project around the home.

The weather is chilly outside, which means it’s the perfect time to make the indoors feel a little more comfortable. We suggest adding style to a neglected room with some paint — you can wrap up a painting project in a weekend, no problem, but it’ll have a huge impact on the look and feel of your space.

Now let’s go throw on some old blue jeans and grab a paintbrush!

If yellow’s not your color, how about more color inspiration?

Day 13 of 31 Days, 31 Ways to Get Organized: While not everyone has space in their home to create a whole room dedicated to muddy boots, outdoor toys, wet coats, and the like, we think you can create a little mini-organizing station in your entryway or right at your back door, no matter how small your space is. Use a bench, fabric bins, and some coat hooks to create a mudroom in a small space. Extra points if you add photos to each bin to signal whose stuff is whose.

Add Storage with Baskets above Upper Cabinets

Posted by: on January 4th, 2012 | 3 Comments

Day 4 of 31 Days, 31 Ways to Get Organized: In many new kitchens, upper cabinets don’t reach all the way to the ceiling, but you can still use that gap for storage. Use baskets or bins to store large, seldom-used appliances like ice cream makers or bread makers, or seasonal tablecloths and napkins.
