Closet size dividers

As we are awaiting the arrival of baby #3 (our second girl) I have been putting their shared room together. One thing that was a big mess was their closet. I after trying to organize it a number of times I decided to get closet size dividers...well make my own. I started with 2 packs of letter "O"'s from hobby lobby, scrapbook paper, spray paint, stickers, and mod podge.

Before


I traced the "O"s on the scrapbook and cut them out then spray painted the "O"s. Once they dried I used the mod podge to stick the scrapbook paper to the letters and once that dried I put the stickers on for the sizes I needed and here is the finished product.

Nail polish rack

I used to keep my nail polish in a basket all mixed together and always digging around trying to find the color I wanted. Then I found a picture on Pinterest where they took a spice rack painted it and stored their nail polish on it. So I was on a mission and it took a few weeks but I found one and it has a drawer on the bottom. :)

I spray painted it purple and organized my nail polish on it...now I just need to get my hubby to hang it :)

End tables

For a while now I have wanted smaller furniture so we could have end tables in our living room and a little more space to move. When I found these on craigslist I snatched them up. I love detail and that they have drawers.

Before


Now that we have a smaller couch we have room for the end tables Yay!!! To make them match my decor a little more I painted them...grey bottoms with a black top and black handles. I love how they turned out and how easy of a project it was.

Potato bin

I have a very large kitchen but not a lot of pantry space. I wanted something to put potatoes and onions in and happened across this at a thrift store for $6.

Before




All I did to it was clean it up really well, painted it, and put the word potato on it. Very simple but I love how it turned out.

Monogram frame

I wanted something to hang above my new baby girls bed and searched Pinterest and found a lot of people put monograms. So I bought this frame for $1 at a local thrift store.

I bought some letters from hobby lobby for Marlee's monogram and some burlap fabric. I painted the frame and the letters and cut the fabric to fit in the frame. Here is how it turned out...I love it so much I think I might make another one for my other daughter.
