A Place for Everything

When you have a small house, sometimes you have to think of unique places to store your things away and, often, that involves maximizing your space.

In order to use every bit of limited and valuable space I have, not only do I use the inside of my cabinets but I also use the inside of the doors to my cabinets.

Inside of my cabinet doors, I stuck some 3M Command Hooks {they are easy to remove and don't damage the cabinets}.  These hooks allowed me to free up valuable drawer space.  My oven mitts now have a place.

When Grace was a baby, it was the perfect place to hang her bibs, which previously had been stuffed in a drawer.

Now that the bibs are packed away, this hook now holds my vintage apron.

When space is limited, you make do, you get creative, you use every bit of space you have.

Chalkboard Contact Paper Labels

If you haven't already heard enough about chalkboard contact paper after my Scribbles Welcomed Post, here's some more chalkboard contact paper love...

Today, I cut out some labels, the middle one, I cut out by hand, the others, I cut out using my Silhouette.

Ok, I admit, I don't actually need these labels. One could clearly tell what is inside any of these containers BUT don't they make them look so much cuter?

Should I be embarrassed that I still have candy hearts in a jar? Wait...don't answer that :)

Out of sight but hopefully not out of mind

In efforts to get more organized, I am trying to pare down on some of my current things.

Some things were easy to part with BUT there were other things that I wanted to keep just not necessarily out anymore.

So, I lined up some items that were going to be stored away and took their pictures.

Then, in a word document I created some text boxes and pulled in the pictures of those items that were going to be stored away. Once printed...

I taped it to the box, storing my things.

So, now when I look into my closet, I can still appreciate my 'things'.

They may be out of sight but they are certainly not out of mind.
