Happy Friday everyone!  I have been working on our little desk area for a couple of days, but it is still not complete.  I will post picks when it is done.

I have been working here and there on my son's bedroom.  It is always a mess, but I am determined to find a system that works for him.

I am posting a pick, a small one, of one of his desk drawers.  I got the baskets from the dollar store.  I got two sets of three.  So two dollars was all I spent!  Not bad.  He has managed to keep it neat for almost a week now!

Let me know some of the things you have done to keep your kids rooms organized.  I would love to hear some new ideas!  Have a great weekend!

Inexpensive Storage & Cute to Boot



I found these awesome cute pink containers at THE DOLLAR STORE!!!!  Love getting a great deal on containers.  These are in my daughter's room.  I like that they have handles to carry around.  The rectangle containers I got from the kids dept. at IKEA.  Another awesome place with great deals.  I think I got all three for around ten bucks.  So don't think you always have to spend big money for great storage solutions!  Have a great day!

Organized Garage

We got it done!  It only took about 3 to 4 hours to make our garage look presentable again.  I would still like to work on the laundry area, but for now we are very satisfied.  The kids had fun helping too!

I have been collecting glass jars here and there.  I used these to put nails and screws in.  I then took a sharpie and put the size on the jar.

I used an old red and blue pocket organizer for cords and chargers.  We put it on the wall to have easy access.

I finally labeled all the plastic containers!  It looks so nice!

We did have some old toys and household items that will be going to charity and we threw away about two bags of trash or broken items.












With just a little time and effort, anyone can make their garage functional.  Happy Monday everyone!
