  • Complete mess
  • I spent $32 for all the organizers 1
  • The over-the-door basket adds some extra space. The plastic bin helps hold grocery bags for reuse. (10 uses for grocery bags: http://bit.ly/RipUgc)
  • The right half I used a couple drawers to hold the cleaning supplies and rags. The hook on the door is a 3M hook.

Organizing under the Sink

I've always been terrible about organizing storage underneath the sink. To help clean it up I bought several different organizers to add usable space and make it easier to find items. #OrganizedHome

    should ever leak or fail, the water ends up in the bin and doesn't run out and ruin your wood floors. Saved my floors!

Painting: Has anyone used the paintable wallpaper? If so, pros, cons? Thanks :)

    same as the rest of the room - held up perfectly with a renter in the house, and look great! I would just make sure you use the right glue and seal the seams well.

Stenciled Washer & Dryer

Since I can't afford a new fancy Washer & Dryer for my Laundry Room, instead I decided to give a little makeover to my old set using a stencil from Royal Design Studio. ...»

I centered the thick plastic stencil on the front of my dryer and stuck it in place with some painter's tape. I then used a little cabinet and trim roller to apply my paint. Finish it off with a coat of clear polyurethane and the makeover is complete!

My first attempt at an all-over wall stencil - a success!

Used a Rabat stencil by Cutting Edge in grey over yellow for a client recently. I think the accent wall came out terrific :) Used spray adhesive and 5" foam roller. Gave the stencil ...»
a good cleaning half-way through. The side edges were a challenge, but overall I would do this again. One wall took about six hours.

Shade garden #2: east garden

With oaks and tall wax leafted ligustrum trees, no grass would grow here; mud puddles were the norm. This is how I altered it into useful area.
