Easy-to-Reach Measuring Cup and Spoon Organizer

I’m short. Or at least that’s what my husband likes to tell me whenever I can’t reach something in our upper cabinets. And reaching to the back of corner upper cabinets? Forget about it.

A second common kitchen problem is never being about to easily find the right measuring cup or spoon when you’re in a hurry. Personally, I tried the old “keep them in the same bowl” method. Still had to rummage. I tried using hooks on the inside of a cupboard door. This worked for me, but apparently the noise of clanking cups and spoons whenever you opened the cupboard freaked out my forgetful husband and visitors, who apparently thought everything was falling out of our cabinet.

Stop Toys from Hiding Under the Couch!

Did I post yesterday? Yes. But today I walked into the living room to discover blocks everywhere and my 1-year-old kicking them under the couch.

Half of these would be missing in 10 minutes.

And I snapped. I MUST END THIS MADNESS! NO MORE HIDEOUT FOR YOU, LEGOS! So out to the garage I went to see what I could come up with.

And, folks, this might be the cheapest and easiest solution to any problem I’ve ever delayed fixing. 🤦‍♀️

How to Convert Bifold Doors to French Doors

I am delighted so many of you loved the last post about my powder room door update. Going along with that project is the one I’m sharing with you today – revamping the bifold doors of our coat closet! I used basically the same method to redo the front of these bifold doors, but there were a few more supplies needed to covert them to French doors. I LOVE how they turned out, and this is yet another project anyone can do.

Our closet doors were the first noticeable problem when we toured our house. One was on the tracks wrong and refused to close all the way, which is kind of a problem when you’ve got a lot of coats and shoes and other crap to hide. I don’t like bifold doors in general, and this pair had clearly given up on life.

How to Update a Builder-Basic Door

Merry Christmas…Happy New Year…Okay, I’m behind! But now I’ve got another easy DIY project for today. This door revamp turned out pretty cool and only took a few hours of my time, plus it’s held up really well since I finished it over a year ago. I love how much this simple fix gave our powder room door a whole new look. Hate builder-basic doors as much as I do? Give this a try!

How to Make CHEAP Curtains Without Sewing

Ok. So this project was so simple and inexpensive that I can’t even really call it a full-on project. But I LOVE how well these curtains work in our living room, and this is certainly another “anyone can do it” kind of room update. Since I last posted on a living room project (see here), now is a good time to share this project with you, since it’s really the only other thing I’ve done to our living room…so far.
