Not too long ago, I wrote a post about a simple redesign of the hall closet that has really worked for us. I took out the hanging rod and put up command hooks for coats, added some baskets for seasonal stuff and the closet became way more functional. A couple of weeks ago I also …
Don’t worry, I haven’t already given up on the #31days challenge. I’ve been working on some cute pumpkins and I wanted to share them in a quick post. I’ll be back later tonight with my 2nd installment for my organization challenge. Cute, right? Each pumpkin was $1, obviously, and I scrounged the rest of the …
