Ever since we started this year-long process of organizing our home and getting rid of 'stuff,' I've been waiting to tackle this room. It's been a mess for years! While we've talked about sorting through stuff and getting rid of items, out of sight means out of mind. Unlike the other big home organization projects… Continue reading Home Organization Project 35

DIY projects for the home and in the garden. Projects that reuse items are my favorite!
Home Organization Project 34
We shouldn't have gone back around the block to have a closer look, but we did. There was a gorgeous dresser in someone's front yard with a free sign on it. I jumped out of the car and inspected. Solid wood, dovetail drawers, and no major damage - perfect color for our bedroom - thumbs… Continue reading Home Organization Project 34
Home Organization Project 31
This week's home organization project - also known as get rid of stuff or move - was our garage and can we have a drum roll, please? Scratch that. Mini-drum roll, please. It's still an old garage that only recently had rats, squirrels, and spiders living in it. At least now it's an old garage… Continue reading Home Organization Project 31
Home Organization Project 29
For this week's home organization project, we must begin by remembering how awful my sewing studio looked. Yes, it was a complete mess. Then, it got worse! Are you wondering how that is even possible? Me, too! Here's where I started....I rearranged shelves and moved furniture around - first. Then, I looked up at the… Continue reading Home Organization Project 29
Make Your Own Air Freshener
What ingredients are in your air freshener? Not sure? I wasn't either. If you bought it at the grocery store or even a health food store, chances are you've just bought a lot of chemicals. But, before you can say, "Holy Smelly Bathroom, Batman!" you can make your own air freshener! And, you'll know exactly… Continue reading Make Your Own Air Freshener
Home Organization Project 27
Warning: these photographs are offensive - to me! If you want to see the opposite of home organization, keep reading. Anyone who thinks my home looks perfect all the time, grab a drink and settle in for a view of my sewing studio. It's in our basement (1914 Craftsman bungalow) and allows me to keep… Continue reading Home Organization Project 27
Home Organization Project 25
After the blow-out yard sale we had last week, I needed an easy project for this week's home organization project. The sale went well - in case you were wondering - not that we made loads of money - but we got rid of almost everything. Almost is the key word because Brad conveniently priced… Continue reading Home Organization Project 25
Home Organization Project 22
Remember when we had a family of squirrels living in the ceiling of our front porch? Well, we managed to move them out but today the home organization project we dealt with were rats - in our garage. OK, squirrels have been spotted in there, too. Wildlife is really trying to take over at Chez… Continue reading Home Organization Project 22
Home Organization Project 21
Is it just me or does it seem like we just cleaned out all of the cabinets and drawers in the bathroom when we re-did it? Well, that's what I thought, too, but that was 2-years ago so it was time - again! If we're not on top of all the 'stuff' in our lives,… Continue reading Home Organization Project 21
Home Organization Project 20
This week's home organization weekly project clean out was all about inspecting. I inspected all of our sheets and blankets in the linen closet and on the beds. There's no picture of this because our linen closet is big and dark without any electrical light. Actually, it's not even a linen closet but rather just… Continue reading Home Organization Project 20
