hallway, life, organizing, products, shelving, storage, kind-design hallway … Hallway Organization I was finally able to get the Closetmaid 9 Cube Storage Cabinet after a few months of waiting for it to go on sale.

diningroom, furniture, kitchen, life, projects, kind-design diningroom … Reupholstering Chair Cushins Other than watching TV design shows, I had no other education or real life experience associated with the upholstering of chair cushions – until the last few days! I asked one of my friends if I could upholster her dining room chairs for her. She…
bathroom, life, kind-design bathroom … Medicine Cabinet One more part of the master bathroom is done. It is slow going but I am determined to get it done amongst all of the other things I want to work on. The bathroom is looking awesome. Only a couple more steps left.…
earthFriendly, kitchen, life, products, kind-design earthFriendly … The G5 George Foreman Grill For Christmas, from my parents, we received a G5 George Foreman Grill. It came with 5 interchangeable plates; and after the holidays, we purchased two more – the omelet plates. We now have 7 plates and about 4 different combinations: #1: Grill plates. Anything you…
bathroom, life, lighting, painting, kind-design bathroom … Painting the Master Bathroom At a little before noon, I decided that I would scrapbook this weekend and finally start working on the master bathroom today. I started by wiping down the walls and floor which is something that was long overdue. I patched all of the little…
life, kind-design life … Many Updates A few months back, I did a bunch of updates around the house, but the updates never made it to this blog. I am finally writing the posts, and I want to let everyone know which posts are new. I thought there were only…
beading, crafting, life, organizing, kind-design beading … Bead Tackle Box One of my January goals is to start making and selling necklaces on Etsy. With all new ventures, there is start-up involved. My start-up involved: beads, wire, and a way to organized everything. I purchased new materials and made 3 new necklaces to list…
childFriendly, crafting, life, projects, kind-design childFriendly … Child-Friendly Ornaments This year for Christmas I was planning on making my friend’s children pillow case covers with their favorite things right now, but ended up running out of time. So, I was looking around Michael’s Craft Store for some inspiration and something I…
crafting, life, livingroom, organizing, scrapbooking, kind-design crafting … Scrapbook Center Revised After a few months, I finally got back to organizing my scrapbook station in the living room. I was able to remove the green canvas bins like I wanted. I found some pink plastic containers and little glass bottles in my container bin in…
bathroom, life, kind-design bathroom … Bath Faucet Install My dad and I installed a much needed new faucet in my master bathroom. The old one was leaking and while it wasn’t too outdated, I wanted a new look to go with the rest of the bathroom’s new look that will…
kitchen, life, kind-design kitchen … Kitchen Faucet Install My dad and I installed a new faucet in the kitchen. My back always got sore when I washed dishes and I felt like it was because our faucet was too low and close to the sink. The faucet was high enough to fill…
attic, life, organizing, kind-design attic … Organizing the Attic The attic has always been a problem area. There is so much I would like to store up there but the area is so narrow that I have to make sure everything stays close to the sides. If more than just the middle had…
art, life, livingroom, kind-design art … Frame of Mind Sometimes just a change of a frame on a piece of art makes it look completely different. I have a set of 4 seasonal fairy prints by fantasy artist David Delamare. I really didn’t like the gold frames, so after searching, I found…
life, organizing, products, storage, kind-design life … Even More Space Bags Once I proved to myself that the Space Bags did so well organizing the attic, I waited until the following month to get more. And when I did, I went through my jackets, sweaters, and small rugs to fill more space bags. Lots of…
bathroom, life, lighting, kind-design bathroom … Bathroom Vanity Light For a while now, about 7 years, I have had the same light in the main bathroom off the 2nd floor hallway. It was originally with the light facing down, but I made a frame for the mirror and then the light didn’t…
bedroom, color, IKEA, life, kind-design bedroom … From Blah to Bold to Calm Guest Bedroom Phase 1 : Guest Bedroom Phase 2 : Guest Bedroom Phase 3 From blah to bold to calm, this bedroom is like a chameleon. This room started out and remained a guestroom for quite a while until recently when it became more of a…
crafting, life, organizing, kind-design crafting … Organizing Ribbon I saw a post by Christy (ColumbiaLily) where she organized all of her ribbon. It inspired me to get mine together. I couldn’t find the zip-top baggies but I did find some self-sealing ones at Joann that worked just fine. I can reuse…
kitchen, life, projects, kind-design kitchen … Kitchen Drawer Mod We have these 2 drawers in our kitchen that are in the corner of our cabinets. You can’t open them up at the same time due to them being at a right angle to each other. This never used to be a problem…
crafting, life, livingroom, organizing, scrapbooking, kind-design crafting … Scrapbook Center So I can be in the same room as my husband when I scrapbook (while I watch him play video games or while he does his own thing on his computer), I have my scrapbook stuff in the living room. Until it got organized…
kitchen, life, organizing, projects, kind-design kitchen … Tip-out Tray One of the nicest “drawers” in the kitchen is the tip-out tray. They are those little trays that fit in that small space right in front of the sink. I searched to see what I could find but wasn’t sure what to call…
life, lighting, livingroom, kind-design life … Living Room Lighting It was time for some new lighting in the living room. The lights we had were really nice still, but I wanted to use them in one of the bedroom upstairs, so I researched to see what I liked and then see if I…
kitchen, life, projects, kind-design kitchen … Lamp Install I have been wanting to do something with the pot lights over our kitchen peninsula, but I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do with them. While looking at the Lowe’s circular for this week, I saw conversion kits that fit in…
