Make Your Own Table Using Inexpensive Pieces. As you know I have partnered with Apartment Guide as an Official Apartment Guide Organizing Blogger. This has been a great opportunity to be able to share budget-friendly and space-friendly tips, projects and ideas. We are currently working on getting my craft room finished, but for now I’m using a smaller room in my home. I’ve temporarily set up most of my storage units, but have been using a long folding table to craft on. It was way too big for the space and didn’t have added storage for all my supplies. IKEA has these awesome desk tops for only $25 and I found the bookcases at Wal-Mart for only $15 each. The best part is the extra storage. I added tags to my baskets since I’m using it in a craft room and I want to be able to find things easily. The table sets about the height of a low bar so the short bar stools work perfectly. Apartment Guide offers how-to tips for making the most of a space on a budget on MovingToday.com and ApartmentGuide.com.
You are all so awesome! Attempting Aloha: Think outside the {toy} Box - Over 50 Organizational Tips for Kids' Spaces. Okay, let's just get right to it. These are kids' spaces. Kids need and want to use their space for playing, right? They don't want their precious floor space crowded with boxes of their own toys! But heaven forbid they actually have to give up any of those toys!!!
First, I have to say that I'm a big fan of the "rotate" idea. I find this helps my kids realize just how LITTLE they play with certain toys and helps them let go of them later on. That being said, the next thing moms are going to look for are space-saving and utilizing ideas. Let's start with this great idea from Ana White. Ana White - Grace's Closet And if you're really afraid of building (or are renting and don't want to put holes in closet doors), what about using a good ol' shoe organizer to store those barbies or action figures?
The Container Store Also a great idea for keeping track of art and school supplies. Another area that gets neglected or goes unused is under the bed. Via Vickie Howell on Flickr Love this one!
