About Me:

I'm a twenty-something living in Indiana with my husband, Brad, and our crazy mutt, Jack. My loves are photography, travel, DIY projects, baking, wine, sarcasm and my iPhone. The husband and I are attempting to make our home a little less cookie cutter and a lot more awesome. My little slice of the internet, Two Twenty One, is where I share my latest home improvement projects, furniture makeovers, crafts, recipes and home & seasonal decor ideas.

Favorite area of home improvement:

DIY, design, decor, furniture, painting, repurposing, gardening

upcycled cupboard door turned tray

Love recycling found goods. This tray is no different. Given to me by my uncle, I turned this cupboard door from his kitchen demolition into a tray!

  • The boots are from Target and they were on clearance!
  • I cut forsythia branches and brought them inside to force some blooms. 1
  • I just stuck a tall vase in each boot, added water and the branches. 1
  • I added a pair of wooden buckets and a little bunny to balance it all out.
  • After the forsythia blooms die off I plan to add an ivy plant to each boot.

Home Office / Craft Room Makeover

I used an Ikea Expedit workstation as the main piece of furniture in my home office makeover. Some other things I did in the room: gallery wall, refinished my grandmother's sewing cabinet, stenciled my file cabinet, and more!

  • I needed a way to organize my ever growing collection of baker's twine.
  • I wanted to display the twine in a mason jar and be able to pull it through the cut-outs in a daisy lid, but I had to find a way to keep it from getting jumbled up inside.
  • I picked up some 6" long bolts, some hex nuts, and some washers at the hardware store.  Then I put the bolt through the top of the daisy cut out lid.
  • Then I alternated spools of twine and washers...
  • ...until it looked like this!  (I screwed the nut on the bottom to keep the spools secure.)
  • And here is the finished product!
  • It's as pretty as it is neat and efficient.
  • If you'd like to learn more, including where to buy the lids, check out my post at: http://www.acasarella.net/2013/03/mason-jar-twine-holders.html. 3

A fun way to organize your craft room!

Learn to make these cute mason jar twine holders. It's a great way to organize your craft room using items you already have (plus a few extras from the hardware store). ...»

Update: I would like to address the two biggest questions I've received regarding this project:

Question #1. Where did I get the daisy lids? I have included three links on my blog where you can purchase them. One link takes you to gold ones, one takes you to silver ones, and another takes you to a link selling the lids with the jars. http://www.acasarella.net/2013/03/mason-jar-...

Question #2. Does the thread get tangled as you pull different strands through? So far the answer is no. And by "no" I mean that you can keep pulling strands through the lid and they all come out smoothly and uninterrupted. They do, however, seem to get twisted around one another. The twisting does not seem to be an impediment, though, as the strands still come through the holes just fine.

I don't know if this is because of the washers I put between each spool or if there's some other reason it's working for me, but I have almost completely unraveled a few of the spools in order to test it out. I hope it works as well for all of you!
