Martha Stewart Wall Manager Giveaway

Welcome to the first week of our New Year’s Organizing Revolution!!!  This week we are focusing on getting office spaces organized.  If you have an organized office, desk, or just a little niche in your home where you keep track of your paperwork, that’s what we want you to share this week. I would love to show you my beautifully decorated, super functional office, but the fact is, I don’t have one!  My little “office” is a corner of my homeschool/playroom.   But, an “office” doesn’t have to be a huge room to be organized. One way that I organize [...]

I was invited to participate in a project hosted by Wayfair.  They challenged a few bloggers to take one of their products and change it creatively.  I love a good challenge, so I decided to go for it! The product I chose was a simple 3-tier bookcase.  I had a few ideas immediately when I saw it, so I checked the measurements and decided this piece was for me.  Giftcards.com sent a $50 gift card to pay for any supplies I would need for the challenge.  Awesome! I had planned to use this bookcase in my son’s room as a [...]
