Project O.R.G.A.N.I.Z.E.

ENTER MY GiVeAwAy Here !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is what inspired the Organization.
 I bought this for $15. 

I think that if your organization is cute and inspires you might just stay with it!

 So thats what i did got something not so Cute and made it mine!

 I have wanted one for a while and I am thrilled with the outcome!


 Starting to prime the wood with KILZ white water based paint.

 all primed and ready to paint!

I took it outside and spray painted it with dover white.


 I didnt want new hardware I just wanted to darken it.


To keep the stain on I had to spray the tops a little with metallic spray paint.

I took a putty knife and roughed it up a bit. 

I love how it looks!
its going in my office/treadmill room...i do want to change the red wall but for now its a great reminder of being brave 4 years ago when we built our home.

AFTER
You may be wondering why If everything else in the room is black why I painted it white?

 Well I loved all my black furniture when I painted it years ago...and I still like black but I want to change it up slowly.

  I am thinking of repainting my black desk to Grey.

hope this inspires you to do a little organizing!

How to organize that Ribbon?

  • Dilemma how to organize all that ribbon? I have found the solution after much thought. This is what i have come up with. First i color coordinated all the ribbon. Next I threaded all my ribbon onto the cord. I bought this cord at a local hardware store. I looped one end of it and tied a knot onto the other. Now if i need to add to the ribbon when i purchase more just loosen the knot and add. I bought shower hooks at walmart that i leave open for easy access. SO if i am needing pink ribbon on a project in another room i just grab the whole rope of pink and bring it to the project that i am working on. The ribbon wont fall off like it would if it were on a dowel rod. If you want one of the ribbon i use a pin and close all of them so they dont tangle....since the rope is round the ribbon will come off easy.I hung a rod that you can buy anywhere I just took this off my window (decided this would better suit the need) and hung it up on the wall. DOne. I cant tell you how long it took for me to come up with such an efficient way to keep your ribbon together but i will tell you its Fantastic and works great. Good luck and i hope it helps you get organized in some way. top of the rope
