Disneyland Countdown

Currently planning our trip to Disneyland in December I was so inspired to make a cute countdown calendar.

I came up with this design using a peter pan theme and the moon cut into a Mickey shape as the backdrop for my numbers.

Its simple to put this design into a frame and use sharpie and magic eraser to change the days.

Don't you love the Peter and Wendy silhouettes? 

TJ Maxx Jewelry Box Find

I was shopping at TJ Maxx today after work when I stumbled upon a whole end-cap full of jewelry boxes. Pretty cheap from about 30-50 dollars depending on what size you need. 50

I spent $40 on my mid sized Red Envelope knockoff one, better than the full retail price of $120 for the real one found HERE. (and mine comes with a lock and key instead of a cheap monogrammed leather piece) :]

They are lined with a nice soft liner and have plenty of storage potential in them. Mine even came with a mini travel jewelry box that has a mirror and place for earring studs, just like the designer one.

Now is the time to go grab one at your local TJ Maxx before everyone else grabs them first. 

I use the box for my jewelry like bracelets and long strands that are too long to hang on my jewelry tree. I bought the tree from target for $20

What neat ways do you have of keeping your jewelry organized and tangle free?

Home Update: Ikea Meets Elfa

I wanted to update everyone on how my loft is coming along. Monday I went to Ikea and bought a ton of furniture to update my closet as well as my loft. The loft looks good so far, but the closet is still a work in progress.

I love my little laptop desk where I can sit around a bunch of inspiring elements while designing graphics.

 

Trev's side is still coming together. we have a lot of things were donating lying around so excuse the mess.

Meanwhile here are some pictures of the progress in the closet:

My handy dandy drill and a bunch of Ikea parts, lets get to work!

Trev's side of the closet is coming together quite nicely

            

I organized his T-Shirts by folding them and filing them, I learned this from Alejandra's brilliant organization skills. His under shirt tank tops I just folded into threes and rolled up neatly and the underwear is folded nicely next to it.

So what are you tips to organize your closet?

Lint Trap Garbage with Portability

Walking around the container store I was looking for a solution to cleaning out my lint trap without the hassle of walking out of the small laundry room and throw away the lint in a garbage can...meanwhile lint is falling from my hand all over the carpet.

Anyhow I found this neat little office organizer at the container store and decided it was perfect!

Its magnetic and fits nicely in between my washer and dryer where I can collect lint until it fills up, and shorten the amount of trips to my garbage can, along with lessening the mess.

Whats your favorite "life hack" that makes your life simpler?

Organizing the Kitchen Sink

I was hoping to post an awesome beautiful post today filled with lots of pictures of container store bins and pretty organization. However that doesn't always happen, lets be real.

My trip to the container store was awesome, however when I got my stackable bins home that I wanted to use for this project they didn't work or fit in the space correctly.

I ended up returning them and keeping one tension rod that I got from target, and then I shopped my house for a plastic basket I could use.

Heres my before and after:

not as epic as I wanted it to be, but a solution is coming my way, I can feel it

I'm also working on a DVD project storage to share(its so exciting) but I have to be patient while things are shipping :]

Happy Sunday and Free Icons!

Happy Sunday! I have work tonight, but I just published a new section to the blog called "freebies"

Right now there is a set of cute icons to download. 

Hopefully my next week will be a bit more filled with some DIY posts. I've been trying to organize my bathroom cabinets on the cheap but to no avail have I found anything that fits the space on the budget I want to spend.

This could possibly require a trip to the Container Store. Yikes...my wallet goes on a diet every time I enter that store.

Anyhow, you can pick up the new icons by clicking on them.
Enjoy!
