Basement Entry "Coat Room" Redo...hooks, lockers and signs...

 

The entry from the garage goes right in to the laundry room.  It is a dark and dreary place...so please excuse the "not so good pictures"...

A Few Project "Peeks"...what I've been up to here...

Do you ever feel like you can't quite finish anything?

That's how I am feeling here...

I've started on my "Spring" sorting and cleaning...

 The mantel is almost done...

Boring Entry Closets NO MORE...A Hometalk Clipboard feature...

 

A few weeks ago I shared my updated entry closet...

Entry Closet Redo...with vintage lockers

 Happy New Year friends!

Time for a fresh start...a clean slate :)

Vintage Doll House, Repurposed Shelf...and empty clock photo holders...

 You may have seen a little peek at this a couple of weeks ago on Facebook and Instagram...

I've had this vintage doll house on a shelf in my basement for years.

 I finally brought it up and out of that sad place.

 I think it makes a fun little shelf in my Great Room.

The windows were missing...so I just used some scrapbook paper to cover them up.

  Filled with some vintage clocks and signs...it has a new lease on life :)

 Side note...

I bought a couple of these empty clocks at an occasional sale a while back.  A little embellishment and a button magnet makes it a great place for a special family photo.

It has a new home on top of this little Ikea cabinet.  I bought it to stash some of my creative supplies in the dining room portion of my Great Room...aka "studio".

  Still getting organized here :)

Fish Basket to Mannequin...and a lamp base hook rack...

I received so many nice comments on my "fish basket turned mannequin" in my last post that I decided she "deserved" her own post...

Playing "Dress up" on the Dresser...junky jewelry storage and display...

 Do you still like to play "Dress up"?

My "Collected Junk" Office Space...

Welcome to my new little "junk" office space...

Thinking ORGANIZATION...with Junk...

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.

A Couple of Drawers and a Sign

Kitchen Drawer to Chalkboard Shelf

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.

Lofted "Cottage" Bed

Pallet Racking to Lofted Bed

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

Kraut Cutter turned Memo Board

Ladders get even more handy for organizing...

Old Ladder turned Wrap Station

Love benches?  

Stack them up for more space saving shelves.  

This one doubles as a window seat.

Stacked Benches to Bookshelf

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...

"Inspiration Corner"...more "junk" organizing...

 

 

 

In my last post I showed you my "new" Old Ladder WRAP STATION...and whined about the fact that I don't have a studio to "stash my junk".  So here's another little peek at what I've been up to at my house...

Old Ladder Wrap/Paper Station...getting organized...

Still on a mission to be more organized here...

Oh how I wish I had a studio...but I don't.  I've mentioned  before that I do most of my creating in the GREAT ROOM, on my dining room table.  So I am "on a mission" to make my supplies more "accessible" in cute and junky ways.

Here's what I cam up with for my wrapping/packaging supplies...

This old ladder works perfect for rolls of paper.

I LOVE that cross on the top...bought it that way...gotta love authentic "character" :)

This drawer fit inside for twine, string and clips.

This little water hole in a planter is the perfect spot for twine to thread though.

Oil cans for ribbon...

...and more ribbon.

LOVE this metal tool box...

...great for tags and "such".

And so I guess "that's a wrap" ;)

(Sorry, couldn't resist!!)

Have a great week!

See you at these FUN parties...

My "Type" of Storage :)

So I went into my son's room this morning to take a couple of pictures of the flag my husband made a few years ago...

...because I wanted to join in the fun over at Funky Junk Interiors...Patriotic Projects.

My hubby made a bunch of these flags a while back for friends and family.  He used 1 X 4 rough cut lumber and corrugated metal.

My son's name starts with an "L" too...so we've got an "L thing" going on in here :)

And while I was in there...I realized I never showed you the fun idea we came up with for showing off his Lego mini figure collection.

They fit perfectly in this old type tray...don't you think?

I (of course) let him to the arranging...looks like he's hoping to collect a "few" more Bey Blades doesn't it? :)

My "type" of storage...I'm gonna make a "junker" out of him yet!

Thanks for visiting!
