Little Bargain Big Uplift

Well, it has been far too long since I have posted anything on the blog. Please excuse my negligence friends, to be honest our trip to Mexico really took it out on me, and it has been way too busy since we got back. So many activities going on, summer is about to start, mommy business keeps me busy, as well as my job. I have come to a decision, no I am not going to stop blogging 100%, but I am going to be blogging less, meaning, you won't hear from me every week like you used to. In all honesty, blogging is way time consuming, not only that, but keeping up with projects, and updating our home has become way expensive. Yes, it is fun, wonderful, uplifting, and way cool. But lets face it, I cannot compete with those other mommy bloggers, we are such a young couple just getting started, we haven't the means or time to keep blogging. I will however, be soo happy to post about our latest updates, and projects.

I won't leave all the way, and I do appreciate all the love and support I do receive from my followers, and friends. You guys are all so awesome! It has been a long time since I posted anything, let make a quick post, of course it's a work in progress, and it will always be. Here is a super cool and happy thing I am working on, I have been meaning to post for a little bit, but haven't had the time. I am finally going to post.

I have been wanting to buy this super cute storage organizer for Nolan's room, well we finally found it, for a great bargain, original price $75, go it for...

We love scoring!!!!

 

Got some super cute shelf liner paper from TJ Maxx

 

 

Tada!!

Much better! What do you think? I think it's a pretty dramatic and unique look. So much room for beautifying. Can't wait to style it up ready for Nolan.

I am not finished yet! Styling coming up soon. Stay tuned!

Travel Must Haves and Takes

Ok friends, we are leaving for our Family Vacation today, just thought I'd share a little Travel Must Takes and Haves.

Take your lint roller, you never know when you will need it, especially for a special foreign occasion. Hand sanitizer is a must of course, protect your tooth brushes with cases, always bring spares of everything.

How about these super cute miscellaneous holders? Perfect for jewelry, or anything in between.

 

Don't forget a first aid kit, you never know when you will need it, especially if traveling with little ones.

And if hand sanitizer isn't enough, bring your disinfectant wipes, I have a germ phobia, sadly yes, so I am always prepared on the double.

And last but definitely not least, stop by Wally World and pick up one of these cool document holders, instead of the good old fashioned fanny pack, this one is super thin, super light, and seamless, underneath your clothes, so you can feel safe traveling in a foreign country, close to your most important documents. We got one for each of us, and we are loving them!

Ok guys, I hope everyone has an amazing week this week. I know I will with my cute little family. Well, I gotta run to catch our plane. See you next week. Take care my friends, Adios!

{Linen Closet Makeover}

Happy Friday Ya'll! I hope everything is ready for the weekend, I sure am! I am especially excited because we have a family vacation all next week. It's super exciting, before we leave, I wanted to quickly keep working on my spring cleaning. Remember I worked on my tiny linen closet a while back?

 

 

Well, I am very proud to re-post the end result, once again. I tweaked it a bit, and I like it even more now. Check it out!

 

 

I have had this little ironing board sitting in almost every closet in my house because I haven't the slightest clue where it would go best. Ding ding ding!! I finally found the perfect spot for it!

 

I adore these super cute bins I found at good ol TJ Maxx

Perfect for toilet paper and paper towels

 

 

Got these plastic containers at the Dollar Store, woohoo!!

 

 

You can never go wrong with IKEA apothecary jars

 

 

And these super cute basket I've had for a while, Target!

 

I love how neat and organized everything is, I love to open this closet just to look at it, teehee

Organization {Coat Closet Reveal}

Happy Friday! Alas, the weekend is here! and so is my Coat Closet Reveal, after much hard work, here it is. Check out how disorganized and horrible it looked before.

Terrible I know, how could I live like this? Like I mentioned before, since I moved upstairs, it has been quite chaotic trying to put things back in order. Finally I did it!

What do you think of the baskets? I think they look perfect!

The Bookplate Labels help so much, keeping things organized and in the same spot, Always!

How about giving simple hangers a lift, with Washi tape! Gotta love the endless possibilities with pretty tape.

Simple but Pretty

How about giving your Command Hooks a pop of color with more Washi Tape?

Oh so Pretty!

I just love opening this closet just to see how colorful and organized it is now. Lets go back and see at the Before and After

Before

After

Yay!! One project at a time and this Spring Cleaning is turning into an organizing frenzy! Stick with me and hopefully you'll get inspired to start your spring cleaning. I know for me it's been a bit tough. Thanks for stopping by friends. Happy Weekend!

DIY: Personalize with BookPlates

Hi friends! Did you miss me? I am so sorry I was gone for so long, I have been soo busy lately, so busy that I haven't even had the opportunity to post about my most recent projects. Luckily today was a more relaxed day, and I get the post a cute little project I did over the weekend, well, it's part of a work in progress. You see, I have a coat closet now! it makes me super giddy, more storage space, and more fun opportunities to make it pretty.

I went to target and found these super cute basket bins on sale, I couldn't pass them up. So I got me three!

 

Also to personalize them a little I used some of my left over plates that I had purchased last fall.

 

 

 

Used some paint swatches for thick and better quality paper for labels

 

 

And Voila!

 

I just love how cute and simple they look. I'm not finished with my coat closet yet, more to come soon. Thanks for stopping by!

Pantry Makeover: Part 2 The Reveal

Thanks for coming back today, ok i'm super excited to finally reveal my pantry makeover. Which, if i may add, needed a real makeover bad! First of all, i went on a little shopping trip to two different places, my favorite organization on a budget friend IKEA, and of course the Dollar Store. Got me some cool organizers.

First, i decided i wanted to get rid of a bunch of boxes that were taking up too much space, and that frankly weren't cute. So what i did with instructions, i cut them out and simply taped them outside the containers.

 

 

i also love my bestie, divider, perfect for dividing gravy mixes, taco mixes, teas, anything little like this. i have been using this forever, and i love it!

 

From the Dollar Store, i found these awesome space savers/dividers!

 

And without further ado, here she is!

 

 

 

i am completely happy and in love with all the space i have. i need to go do some grocery shopping to be able to use up all of my awesome space, because as you can see, i have lots of space to spare.

 

Snack Time


 

 

Baking Time, now i can see our Grandma's vintage Kitchen Aid

Pastas, Breads, and some water bottles
 

And my canned foods, i love being able to see exactly what i have, this way i know what i need and don't need to buy when grocery shopping.

 

 

Lets take a look at the Before
