Thinking ORGANIZATION...with Junk...


Chipping with Charm:  Getting Organized with Junk...http://chippingwithcharm.blogspot.com/

As I start the New Year, my mind always goes to "Fresh Start"...which means lots purging and re-organizing.
Here's a little peek back at 10 things we did here to get organized with JUNK in 2013.

I have always been a "collector"...I try to tame the "clutter" using shelves and vignettes.

We used drawers and crates galore for organizing in our Coffee Station gone CRAZY!!

And we used another drawer and some salvaged hooks in our little Chippy Bathroom Redo.

And speaking of organizing small spaces...
We lofted the beds in both of our kids' rooms last year.

Memo boards are great for getting things organized...even better when using salvaged and re-purposed finds.

Ladders get even more handy for organizing...

Love benches?  
Stack them up for more space saving shelves.  
This one doubles as a window seat.

And, last but not least...
I am still loving my Spool Turned Spinning Spice Rack in the kitchen.

So are you ready to get organized for 2014?  
I just need to finish packing up all those junk Christmas trees...

If you've been following my posts this Christmas, you might have noticed a bit of a "tree theme" going on here.

The lights "highlight" the tree shape.


Do you like my tin "garland"?

Chipping with Charm: Large Barn Tin Star...http://www.chippingwithcharm.blogspot.com/

 My husband cut out a bunch of stars from barn tin for our booth at ANTIQUES DOWNTOWN.  Of course I kept a few.  There are big ones...

...and smaller ones.

What do you think?  Can you see the "tree"?

Important safety note: 
My husband informed me that the scarf might not be "safe" draped there in front of the fireplace...so it has been removed...sniff, sniff.  Some times I get carried away when "styling"...but nothing looks "cute" in a fire...unless its sweet, white and on a stick. Right??

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Wishing you very "MERRY" Christmas preparations :)
I'll be back with more...
Chat soon,

More Ladder Love...


 Are you loving all the fun ideas using ladders these days? 
 
If so, hop over and check out the new board I curated over at Hometalk...
"In LOVE with Ladders"

You know I've posted a few ladder ideas...but I am always on the hunt for more clever re-purposes.  When I started clipping ideas from the other creative "Hometalkers" I couldn't stop...23 charming re-uses to be exact.  Do you suppose now that they made me this cute little banner for my board I have to stop??  Doubt it :)

Do you have a clever ladder idea?  Hop over and post it on HOMETALK.  It's another great place to share ALL of your DIY and decorating ideas.  Need ideas for ladders, doors, windows...whatever??  There's PLENTY of inspiration to keep you coming back for more.  You'll probably want to start some inspiration boards for yourself...it's easy and FUN.
 
Check it out...and be sure to say "Hi" while you're there!
