My little laundry room ❤️

I have been slowly working on organizing this room and making it functional. It is so small and can seem cramped if we don't put things in here correctly. I think my favorite thing that I've done to make it seem larger is the $5 sheer curtains I hung from target. The natural light makes this room seem much larger and feel so fresh.

I've tried to utilize me decor and picked up things that were multifunctional. The laundry sign and black shelf with hooks hold things in here perfectly without making it feel cramped. 

I had this white cubby from my kids' room that was kind of falling apart. I ended up fixing it and using it here to hold the trash bin, a plant, and eventually some baskets too. 

I LOVE this shelf so much because I can air dry and hang my delicates on here! #nomoreuglyhangers 

I'm working on my green thumb and am repurposing those vases, jars, and measuring cups as flower pots. I just planted some seeds in them.

I've actually got that plant's ugly pot hidden by an old blue colander! I stuffed my grandma's old boots full of plastic bags from target (lol) and am going to find some faux flowers to set up top. I love seeing bits of her around my home.

Well, that is our little laundry room!

Easy projects inspired by dollar store items.

Since we have been moving in and unpacking I have acquired a lot of little items that I want to repurpose, decorate with, or finish working on. I've also been to my local dollar tree and 99 cent stores looking for cheap things we needed... And I swear every time I go in for one or two things I leave with $25 worth of stuff. But honestly- it's because I needed stuff and had no idea those stores carried them!! 

So I'm going to be sharing some of those dollar tree inspired projects and easy DIY ideas. Literally so easy that anyone can do them.

So first up is this vase set I bought at Michaels a month or so ago. I didn't know WHAT I was going to do with it, it just was on a really great sale and I pretty much just had to have it.

I kind of looked around my house and decided that the bathroom window sill was its new home. I've been trying to figure out how to decorate in this room because it is so narrow and kind of dark- so I really feel this actually kind of livens the room up. Next in this room is going to be art. Gotta figure out what style first though.

So I was headed to the dollar tree and figured I would see if there were any cute faux flowers. And there was! I was trying to decide if I wanted Spanish moss or some pebbles/ rocks... But decided it might look cluttered if I did that. 

It only took a few minutes to put this together and i love it. I helped the bathroom have some character and cleaned up my dining room a bit as well. I have another of these vases (different style) that I am most likely going to do the same with but use it in my laundry room.

Do you have any dead spaces that this could work for? All in all I probably spent $15 total on this including the vase set. But it gives me enough faux flowers to fill my other vase and probably one more. So this really was a more affordable project for me.

And honestly, at least I won't forget to water REAL flowers! 😂 I'm still working on my green thumb.

Our super small toddler room.

Hi everyone! So I'm really happy to say that I'm in the middle of unpacking and moving into our new home!! We ended up finding a 3 bedroom craftsman style home in the historic homes part of our town. Our home was actually built in 1926!! It's almost 100 years old and sooooo beautiful. I really love it. 

It has a ton of built ins, charm, and a bigggg backyard. I just really love it. I am not going to share photos of every room just yet because I am still trying to find a place for everything and soft out the things I'm going to donate to my local thrift stores.

Buuuuuut- I'm going to share photos of the kids' room today with y'all. Funny story: before I got to see the home, my realtor said that it was more like a 2 bedroom with a small room that maybe a desk could fit into. This had me not wanting to even see the house because UHH HELLO WHERE WILL MY OFFICE GO? Soooooo long story short when we saw the home I originally thought, "well, she was wrong it could work for an office." But honestly- the more I looked and thought about it I really could see that as the kids' room. It is 7ft by 9ft and more than enough space. 

My sisters pretty much thought I was crazy, but I closed off the door that had access to the kitchen and made it work. I've been very selective over what goes in there and how I store toys. I didn't want to have to get rid of all of their toys, (that would just be so mean), haha! 

What I love most about their room is that it is attached to our bedroom. I feel that it is much safer and leaves me feeling better. Another nice thing is the built in closet. It has added storage up top and a drawer on bottom. I am using the top to store things I don't need right now and bottom drawer for clothes that don't fit (yet) and shoes.

I donated a bunch of their clothes and I feel so much better now that they have less in there!! It was a disaster and was so overwhelming!

I wish that I had more wall space for art, so I'm having a hard time finishing the gallery wall and actually keep changing it completely. 

I am obsessed with the pillowfort collection that Target is carrying right now. I let Opal go crazy and pick out her bedding, rug, and wall art. They're actually gonna be on sale 20% off starting tomorrow (march 6th). I wanna go get my receipt adjusted so that I can buy more!!! Hahaha!!! 😂

So now y'all are up to date on my first completed room in the new home. I'm almost done with the laundry room so I'll share that one next ❤️
