  • Food & Water Area - Paw print stickers & self stick letters are from my local craft store.
  • Benny's food & water are near our kitchen table but not in a high-traffic area. He tends to eat when he see's us at the table eating.
  • Benny's bed/crate and toy basket. He can get into the basket and reach the toys he wants. I need to teach him how to put them away!
  • I never pay full price for Benny's clothes. Most of them are from Petsmart when they go on clearance. I have also found some at garage sales.
  • I also buy dog toys when they are on clearance at Petsmart. A lot of them are from the Martha Stewart collection and are really pricey. I wait until they are marked for 50% off before buying.

  • Inexpensive photo boxes and magazine holders keep everything neat and tidy.
  • This bookshelf was in my daughters bedroom . . . when she no longer wanted it I moved it to my craft room for additional storage.
The "craft" letters are from JoAnn Fabrics. I painted them and used 
3-M tape to hang them up.
  • I framed some free subway art and hung an old frame that was missing the glass. I found the wood "create" letters at JoAnne Fabrics and painted them white.
  • White board is from Walmart, tray is from Target. Magazine holders from Ikea. Photo boxes from Michael's Craft Store.
  • I painted this tray and added a piece of wrapping paper to the bottom. It holds craft supplies and can be moved easily to another table for projects. 1
  • The table was unused in our dining room (turned library). We were going to sell it but decided to move it into my craft room. I love having a huge area to work on projects & scrapbooking. 1

Craft Room

My craft room is in our finished basement and I wanted to create a fun place to craft and scrapbook but didn't want to spend a lot of money. Most of the items were purchased at craft ...»
stores (on sale or with a coupon). I also re-purposed items we already had to save money.

  • Stacked washer & dryer gave me much needed space in a small room. 3
  • Organized cubbies hold laundry and cleaning supplies.
  • Lots of hooks for hanging clothes right out of the dryer. Added fun artwork to brighten up the space.
  • Shelf was added for storing hangers. Iron & board stored up and out of the way.
  • A rolling cart is perfect for a small space. It can be easily moved and was only $13!
  • Cubbies and wire baskets hold laundry and cleaning supplies.

Laundry Room

My laundry room is more like a small closet. There was no storage and no place to hang clothes. By stacking the washer & dryer I created space on both sides for much needed storage and laundry items.

    Kind of ironic, but true, that only paper can help me get my digital life organized.
