Organizing Ideas

No comments
I love to organize and have things neat and orderly in my house. I'm constantly looking for practical yet beautiful storage solutions that can make my life easier.
I recently saw this post on House of Smith's blog and was so inspired to get my pantry more organized and layed out better. I LOVE how she used a mixture of clear jars with bold labels, wooden crates, metal bins, a painted & stenciled wall, no boxes or clutter, and everything's visible for easy access. She even added decorative moulding around the edge of the shelving. It's PERFECT!
Here's a few pictures of
her pantry makeover!!
More Inspiration:
These clear clamp lid jars are perfect to
organize your pantry and kitchen cabinets.
{they can be found at crate & barrel}
via a delightful blog
I bought some clear jars with metal lids {similar to HOS}
at WalMart and reorganized my pantry! I also reorganized my cooking utensil drawer with black Rubbermaid dividers and trays. {also found at WalMart} I then took it a step further and started organizing under my bathroom sinks with wire shelving, baskets, and clear containers from the Container Store.
I hope this inspires you to reorganize a few clutter spots in your home. After organizing a few areas of my own, I now feel better everytime I open those doors, drawers, and cabinets!

Jewelry Walls
Over the years I've collected so much costume jewelry that I now have five or six different containers -- some of them no fancier than a cardboard box -- to house all of my trinkets. Not being a morning person, I end up reaching for one of the same two pairs of earrings each day and leaving my accessorizing at that rather than digging through my collection for something fresh to wear. For this reason, and because good jewelry really is art, I love the idea of a jewelry wall. Having my favorite pieces on display with framed prints and photos would not only add some inspiration to my morning routine, but it would also give me a rotating gallery of sparkle to dress up my walls.

Modern,
contemporary furniture...
I think the following items I ran into are very uniquer and they bring out the color in your modern rooms.. They definitely have a great feel about them and they are extremely comfortable pieces of furniture.. The bed is fantastic and the couches I think feel absolutely amazing.. and of course they are practical since they are not a million dollars or named... so you can enjoy them with your guests..
A very modern Bed..

DIY: Industrial Letters

Industrial Letters inspired by Restoration Hardware
I came across this idea on Paper, Scissors & Paint blog and love the look of these letters. They have rustic charm and the best part is when you can spend a fraction of the cost and get something VERY similar, just by making it yourself.
I'm all for it!
These letters were the inspiration:
This is the end result {don't you love it!? I sure do.}
. . . and the HOW TO instructions:
She bought the letters at Hobby Lobby for $1.49 each.
She traced out the letters on the back of a barn wood scrapbook paper, and glued it to the front. I can't believe it looks so much like real wooden planks.
So, remember, the RH letters had a metal edging with rivets? She added that to hers, too. She took some trusty silver craft paint and added to the edge of the letters:
Once she had the edge painted on all the letters, she used a black craft marker to create an inner shadow. Just a tiny line around the inside edge.
Now, for the rivets. She used Spare Parts Screw Head Brads. She just used her trusty wire cutters to chop off the brad part, then glued them in the corners of the letters.
She spent around $6 and some time. She ended up spending about 30 minutes start to finish. Talk about instant gratification!
I can't wait to make some of these letters for my house or my store!
