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...

And Speaking of Spools...a spool turned spice rack...

So the other day I shared our new SPOOL OTTOMAN for the back patio.

And as I was digging around in my "Spool Stash"...

(What?  Doesn't everyone have a spool stash?  Is that odd?  Maybe a little?)

...I found this other little spool that I had been thinking I'd use for a spinning spice rack.

We just added a "Lazy Susan" to the bottom...another easy one here.  No surprise :)

And again, I just coated it with a matte poly spray and left it "as is"...industrial charm??

The perfect height for spices...

...spin it around for sweeteners etc.

Works for me :)

Here are a couple of other things we've made from various spools...

Did you see this little spool table layered with linens in the "Vintage kid" section in OUR BOOTH AT ANTIQUES DOWNTOWN? 

Or this one...

...we "DRESSED UP" for a salad bar party?

Fun for flowers too!

 

So what about you?  Have you made anything clever with spools lately?

I'd love to hear more :)
