Welcome to the Weekend Wrap Up Party!!

This week’s giveaway is from Cut It Out Frames!

They’re one of my favorite places for home decor!

This is the same company that makes the frames I used in my Family Gallery Wall.

I love the shape of their frames. They come unfinished so you can paint them any color that you want. Plus, they are super affordable.

I recently created another new project based on their new product — Double Frames. You see, I am working on a new office. It’s kind of a big project, and I will tell you more about that soon, but I knew I wanted to make an organizational pegboard wall in that space. I love the look of pegboard, but I wanted to add a little pretty factor too — and I thought pegboard and scrolly frames would be so fun together!!

For more about this project, check out my post from this morning!

Learn more about Cut It Out Frames and link up your projects after the break:

Cut It Out‘s frames and cutouts are so useful and multipurpose — you can use them for just about any project you want!

Just check out how I created my pegboard wall — there are so many possibilities for different projects!

Getting Organized: The Laundry Room {tips and tricks}

Jen — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 14:44:07 +0000

Hello again Tatertots & Jello readers!

It’s Anna from Ask Anna :

Today I am here showing you how I organized my laundry room and hopefully inspiring you to have a beautiful and organized laundry room too! In my house the laundry room is directly off the kitchen, on the way to our bedroom. It ends up being a dumping/storage station for everything: decorations, candles, extra groceries, dirty washcloths, etc. I was so tired of looking at a mess all the time, so when I painted the laundry room a couple months ago I decided to get organized too!

Because our house is old (built in ’65) the laundry room cabinets do not go all they way up to the ceiling, why someone would ever build it this way is beyond me! So what I have is either wasted space or open/exposed storage. I like to store candles and other decorations up there but I got SO tired of looking at my stuff all the time, it seriously stressed me out, because even though it was organized that fact that I could see it made it seem messy to me. So when I was at Lowes, waiting for my paint to be mixed, I was wandering around and found these great baskets. They were the perfect size for above my cabinets and the simple, dark straw pattern felt very clean to me. Even better they also had them in smaller sizes so I bought a bunch of them for inside the cabinets and for my shelf below the cabinets.

Here’s how to get organized:

1. Pull everything out of the cabinets and lay it out so you can see exactly what you have {and need to hide organize}.

2. Decide if anything needs to be tossed or stored in another place. Once eliminating those items categorize the remaining items. These are the categories I have in my laundry room: candles, small seasonal decorations, extra bulk groceries, batteries, light bulbs/extension cords, cleaning rags, dirty clothes and laundry items.

3. Now that the items are categorized place all items into the baskets.

Isn’t it so much better looking at a pretty basket instead of looking at all of my stuff?

The only problem now is that you might not remember what items are in each basket and you don’t want to pull down a heavy basket only to discover that it’s the wrong one! Don’t worry I have an easy solution for that.

Here is how I created beautiful, simple labels for my laundry room baskets:

* I found a few small frames at Michael’s, and because I love silver, I spray painted them silver.
Then using Microsoft Word I typed out a list of all my “categories”. I used pink for an extra pop of color, but if I get tired of it I can always change it.

3. Next I printed them and cut them out.

4. Then I placed them in the frames and hot glue the frames to the baskets.

This is such a simple solution and it will make finding what you need so easy!

Just look at the difference that a few baskets made in my laundry room!

YIKES!!!

What do you think?

I would love to hear your tricks for how you keep your laundry room clean and organized!
