DIY Wall-Mounted Clothes Drying Rack

I repurposed a wooden baby safety gate system I got off Freecycle and a few pot-hooks into a wall-mounted clothes drying rack. The rack folds out to provide lots of room and airflow for delicates and other items I prefer to air dry, and folds flat against the wall when not in use to save space. After building this rack, I am certain that with a little creativity, many crib panels, baby safety gates and other slatted panels can be repurposed into clothes drying racks. The best part? The total cost for this project was less than $5 for a few screws and washers. See the full details of this project on my blog at http://www.nwedible.com/2012/04/wall-moutned-clothes-drying-rack-perfected.html

DIY Hanging Pot/pan Rack

I have recently been looking at hanging pot/pan racks but didn't want to spend a lot of $$ for what the stores were asking for them. So after checking out Pinterest and getting ideas for some upcycled DIY racks I thought I'd hit up my local second hand store to see what they had that I could turn into a hanging rack. I completed my project in less than a day and for under $30!! Here's the finished piece, I love it!

DIY Pot Rack With Pipes From Home Depot

We installed our own pot rack on the wall in my kitchen. Not too difficult, but provides lots of storage space for the pots. And, I think it's quite beautiful!

Hung Out To Dry - Crib Rail to Laundry Drying Rack

After dropping off my two big kids at school I drove the same way I always do. Like a beacon in the night this bright yellow gift shone from afar. Of course I drove straight over and rescued this abandoned crib from the fate of the dump. Neighbors eyeballing me like I was a lunatic. The next day I went back and picked up the mattress because it was still there and I couldn't just leave it all alone! I'm kind of a sidewalk stalker. Big plans stirred in my brain for this crib rail. It's destiny was a laundry room drying rack. We always have stuff that needs to hang out to dry.

How to Reduce Laundry-monogram Towels

This is a step by step tutorial about how to monogram towels with your childrens initials, so they can be responsible for their own towels and hopefully reduce laundry. The tutorial uses an appliqué technique that can be used on it's own with no sewing required or the appliqué can be machine stitched to ensure long wearing monograms.

Inexpensive Laundry Room Makeover

When we bought our house almost 17 years ago it was only 1 1/2 years old. Sadly it was not in the best of shape when we bought it. Over the years we have updated it, fixed things that broke, all the things you do to your home. Then there is my entry way laundry room. This is not a room I spend "quality" time in. I have mostly ignored it, done a few things here and there to better organize it, etc. You can see more of my crazy creations here

Tiny Laundry Room Remodel

If you have a "galley" style laundry room that's just a pass through to your garage, it can still be stylish and functional! We turned our tiny, dysfunctional laundry room (which is really just a pass-through to our garage) into a beautiful and functional space!

From Horror Story to Dream Workshop, Thanks to a Dumpster Find

One day I (tripped) over a pile of crap in order to go build something inside the garage. But I was sooooo uninspired. My garage was a messy unorganized horror story begging for a trip to the ER. And then the Heavens parted and a halo transpired around the perfect fix... a red metal rusted out rack spotted by a dumpster was coming home with me... or ELSE! The result is the beginnings of morphing 'a messy garage' into 'a dream workshop'. Make sure you visit the blog post to take in every detail of this amazing splendour... and see what's being tackled next! Baby steps...

DIY Log Holder

A Saturday afternoon project... we created a convenient place to store the split logs for our wood burner and fire pit. The logs are kept off the ground and will be ready for the action. We used simple tools and pressure treated wood to create this much needed organizer for our yard.

My Tricky Kitchen Is No Match For These Organizing Hacks!

We recently moved into a new apartment. And though we are excited about it, it needs a lot of love and quite a few tweaks. If there is one thing I have learned from my fellow Hometalkers it is that nothing is impossible. There has to be creative alternatives to even the toughest of conundrums. The first thing we noticed in the kitchen was lots of cabinet space! In our haste however, we somehow overlooked the big problem: most of the cabinets are really really really high up!! I am on the shorter side at 5”3 and my husband is not much taller. My sister and her 6”3 husband generously offered to help us organize but unless they moved in full time, we were going to have to figure out some long term solutions. So far we have come up with a few and are still on the market for some more.

Making Cabinets Deeper

/> Carol

Okay, so when I added my new stainless appliances to my updated kitchen, the cabinets over the refrigerator and washer & dryer are now hard to reach because the new appliances are apparently deeper than were the old white ones. Is there some way of adding more depth to the cabinets? I would like to be able to reach them without standing on a ladder. As it is now, the ones over the refrigerator are completely empty because they are inaccessible, and the ones over the front-loading washer and dryer require a stepladder to reach.

Anyone with ideas how to add/build a cabinet around a laundry sink?

/> Carolyn S

Builder put in the ugly laundry sink - the kind that is bolted to the floor. Is there some type of cabinet that can be added - both to hide this eyesore and make the area below useable storage?
