    My Coffee Cabinet Makeover (Removable Wallpaper, Berkey Water Filter Storage and Organization)

    by

    This Post May Contain Affiliate Links. Please Read Our Disclosure Policy here

    A place for everything and everything in its place is my mission for this year, but the truth is I really got inspired for it last year with a few simple projects that I haven’t shared on the blog yet!
    I started getting these cabinets organized last fall as a part of a fun cozy home challenge HomeBodies did in HomeBody Gathering Place.
    In our renovation we had cabinetry designated in our dining area for our coffee making area and our Berkey Water filter. While we don’t have a fancy coffee station or water filtration system, what we have works great for us so I wanted to make it as functional and organized as I could.
    I put up this adorable peel and stick wallpaper on the back of the cabinet, just for fun — it makes the whole experience of preparing coffee more charming. It was so simple to do!
    Before I explain the organization, here is a list of some cabinet and organizing supplies I used:
    This cabinet organizer shelf
    This wood lazy Susan
    This plastic tray under the coffee gadgets
    Milk frother/steamer (love this one, it’s stainless steel instead of toxic nonstick coating!)
    These blue and white buffalo check lidded canisters
    Coffee grinder
    Botanical coffee mugs
    Blue and white geometric pattern coffee mug
    Click here for above sources
    This whole organization project took me less than 30 minutes to make the additions and improvements, so I wish I had done this ages ago! But I’m glad I finally did it. Now that this cabinet is extra cute, I am inspired to keep the cabinet more organized, too!
    Organizing the Coffee Cabinet (a place for everything!)
    I decided we should use the two upper shelves only for serving platters. I have no other cabinet for them so this made sense! Our shelves are adjustable so I can rearrange later if desired.
    To make better use of the rest of the cabinet space, without making it feeling too cluttered, I added some tiered accessory shelves to elevate some of the mugs and organize supplies.
    Cabinet organizer shelf // Botanical coffee mugs // Similar Homebody Mug (my mug is from here)
    This cabinet now holds only the mugs we’ll be using often this season (this is key, we cannot keep EVERY mug in this cabinet!) We put the mugs on the Lazy Susan and a few others that will sit next to it on the tiered shelves. No more cluttered cabinet! Our extra mugs are stored in the cabinet below.
    I also got a set of cute checkered canisters to hold coffee beans and spoons.
    We keep this tray under our coffee grinder and the milk steamer/frother to make it easier to clean up the cabinet from the inevitable messes made while grinding coffee and steaming milk.
    We still use this stovetop espresso brewer (someday we’ll get a fancier machine, but we’ve used this for years and it is so simple and makes good coffee)!.

    Organizing Our Berkey Water Filter Cabinet
    We used to have the Berkey sitting on a bench in our mudroom, but this was always my intended spot for it. It’s safe from little hands and puppies and so convenient for grown people to use. The drawer underneath the Berkey pulls out so we can easily fill it and we put a tray and mat under it to catch any drips or overflow.
    We put our Berkey on this stand so we can easily get a glass under it to fill. Works great!
    Someday we may get a whole house filter (or a new one at the kitchen sink like we had in the past) but we’re perfectly happy with this arrangement.
    The cabinet shelves above and below the Berkey hold our pretty blue and green drinking glasses, electric hot water kettles (I have this copper and this blue kettle) and other handy items.

    A Place for Everything
    Even though it’s always been nice to have all of these cabinets to store stuff, having a place for everything and everything in its place means that now I really enjoy using these spaces as they are intended (and enjoy keeping them organized!) every day.

    Small Space Tip
    The doors on the coffee cabinet slide back in so they don’t stick out into the room — this is a handy small space hack if you are getting new cabinets :).
    Now that it’s so cute I can even leave the coffee station open whenever I want to!
    Our home may not be huge, but I wanted to make every space count. I pictured a cozy, comfortable, orderly place right here in the dining room where family and friends could gather around and chat while making coffee or tea. I’m happy to have created a pleasant experience for everyone!

      A Pretty Solution for Hiding Power Strips and Cords

      by

      I don’t know about you, but a tangled mess of cords on the floor definitely doesn’t spark joy for me! Since I’m on a roll finding a place for everything in my house, hiding power strips has been at the top of my list. I wanted a solution that would not only hide cords but also look attractive in the room—and I found the perfect tools for the job!
      I got two different styles of these cable management baskets. The first one I ordered (THIS ONE) is made of imitation rattan. While it’s not my favorite finish, it looks great at a distance and does the job of concealing cords and a power strip.
      Since I really liked how functional this basket is I ordered a different set for other spaces in the house (like our kitchen and Snug).
      These other cable management baskets (below) just arrived and came in a set of two sizes, and the finish is natural and lovely in our home! I would buy these again (and probably will!).
      Cable management baskets
      These baskets are an attractive and practical way to hide cords and power strips to keep everything looking neat. You can also tuck in a couple of extra phone chargers to keep them organized or have on hand for guests!
      The basket is naturally ventilated, so it prevents overheating of power strips and chargers. You don’t want to put power strips in closed in or tight spaces without ventilation or overload them (we never plug in heaters or anything powerful like that on a power strip just to be safe).
      We will use our new baskets for charging phones (which we can set on top of the basket with the cord coming out one side), hiding a lamp cord on the kitchen counter.
      Be sure to measure whatever power strip you want to use (I got these surge protectors for our new baskets) to make sure it will fit.
      These power strip baskets are so handy for hiding a power strip and corralling all your cords in one neat place, I’m so glad I found them.
      Here’s to simple, pretty solutions for a more peaceful home!

      Baskets in the Dining Room (a place for everything!)

      by

      This Post May Contain Affiliate Links. Please Read Our Disclosure Policy here

      Rattan Lidded Basket
      My focus this year is on creating a space for everything we love! This week I added two baskets in the dining room, I’ll explain them in this post.
      I’m pleased that every year we own less stuff due to our continual efforts in downsizing and being more intentional in what we keep. But I am determined to find joy in everything we have.
      I find NO joy in trying to find places for things we don’t use often. Through the years I’ve come to understand that there is no point in keeping a lot of items “just in case” we might want them someday. Not only do we not have room in this home to store items like that, it’s futile to hang onto so much “someday stuff” that even if you do want something, you can’t find it. Or when you know yourself well enough that if the time comes to use it you know you won’t want to make the effort to look for it, even if you do have it “somewhere”.
      These points may seem obvious but it is crazy how stuff seems to multiply if you don’t start to set boundaries for what you keep and where you keep it. We are still in process!
      Rattan Lidded Basket
      You have to understand yourself and your habits in a particular home or your general tendencies in order to make better decisions, so it takes time to figure these things out.
      Baskets can one of those questionable storage options for me. A basket can be an attractive organizer but it can also invite you to stash a lot of things you will never use or find again LOL! They can be a clutter multiplying risk. But with that said, it’s nice to have a place to stash some things so your house feel less cluttered. I am not a minimalist 🙂 — I assume minimalists wouldn’t want baskets but to me they look cozy and add texture so even if there are one or two there where you stash stuff, so be it.
      In my quest to find a place for everything and put everything in its place, baskets will be used with intention.
      Amazon Baskets and Bins I Have and Love (click here for sources)
      How I make baskets functional is to give each one a dedicated purpose and put them in a location that makes sense to me. If I will use the items often in that location, it makes sense to me to keep a basket or two there.
      I realized I had two shelves by my dining room banquette where attractive baskets could be handy to hold little items that bring joy in setting a table such as napkins, candle holders, or taper candles. We have larger drawers below the banquette but I imagined a basket being a simple spot to store small items. That way they could easily be pulled out and set on the table to select items.
      We love using our bookshelves here for books or decorative items, so I didn’t really want it to be a storage unit but because the lower two shelves are usually hidden by pillows anyway so adding baskets here would be the most convenient spot to organize these items.
      My main hesitation was some baskets might not look as attractive as I wanted for this spot so I wanted to take the time to find the right wood tone and quality! Baskets like I wanted are not cheap so I had to compromise a little on my dream baskets, but also was willing to spend enough to get something that looked attractive here.
      Rattan lidded baskets
      I also wanted them to be large enough to fill the space so they felt intentional, so the right size and scale was important. The other qualifications were they had to be very sturdy and have removable lids so they could be as functional as possible. I actually tried baskets I had here for awhile before but they didn’t have lids so it just felt cluttered.
      After quite a bit of searching, I decided that these were as close to what I was looking for as I could find with my time and budget. Turns out they work perfectly! I love the removable lids and the baskets look very pretty here.
      I also considered THESE baskets, I love the idea of the removable dividers so it was tempting, but after much deliberation, these baskets turned out to be the right choice for our shelves. I still might consider the others for another location though!
      I haven’t yet worked on exactly what will go in them or how I will organize them, but I’m excited to have a dedicated place to hold items so close to the dining table! Stay tuned for more of my journey to find a place for everything :).

      Giving a Room In My Home a New Purpose

      by

      Pin on Pinterest

      Flip on Flipboard

      Do you have a room in your home that you find you don’t use anymore or one that you no longer need because grown children are out on their own?

      Or perhaps you no longer need the function a room provided for you in the past or the space no longer serves you best? If your spaces aren’t working for the way you live now, it might be time for a change. I just made such a change.

      A few years ago I wrote a post about when you go about decorating your home to make sure you are using the room exactly for what you need and will inspire you to live your best life.

      Many of us get hung up on the fact that in the builder’s blueprint layout of the house the room are marked, dining room, bedroom, or living room. Just because a builder thinks you need all these functional spaces, there is no reason to have to use them for those needs.

      The only rooms that usually have to stay to the plan are kitchens and bathrooms as it would be too expensive to change these once a home is built.

      But the other rooms, you should feel free to make and use them in whatever your lifestyle calls for.

      Over the years I have changed the way we used a few rooms. When my daughters moved out of the house after college, one of their bedrooms became a fitness room.

      When I started my blog and needed an office, I set up what the formal living room on the builder’s plans stated into my craft room/studioffice. When we moved to South Carolina, I made the dining room my office.

      I found over the last few years that my studioffice was no longer serving my needs. I found I like to work out on the kitchen table where there is a great view of the lake.

      Since I didn’t use the studioffice much anymore for the intended purpose I set it up for, I had to figure out what it could become instead of becoming a place for junk and postponed decisions about what to do with all that stuff that was starting to clutter-up the room.

      The space I was really craving for in the house was a bigger kitchen, but specifically more storage for the kitchen and a larger pantry like the one we had in our Pennsylvania house.

      So over the last year I have been thinking of budget-friendly ways to make the room become more of a pantry. Then after thinking it over for some time, I found that the room could be a little bit of everything we needed – a place for my craft/decor creating, a pantry, as well as an extension of the kitchen.

      When thinking about what furnishings to use to set up this new use for the room, I knew we had to stay within a budget and I didn’t want to add built-ins that would would be hard to remove if we ever want to sell the house in the future. The function of the room should go back to a basic space like a dining room or family room.

      Meet My Multi-Purpose Room

      I truly enjoyed the room as my studioffice for years, but since it was no longer serving me, it was time to change it to fit my life now and going forward.

      Here is what you see as you enter the newly created multi-purpose room.

      I kept the desk as a surface to set up my sewing machine when I want to make something. I have two of the pom-pom slipcovered ottomans, one is in the living room. I keep the second one under the desk when it is not needed in the living room for more seating.

      IKEA PAX Storage Units

      The biggest change in the room was the removal of my creative tool wall and worktable. In its place are two tall IKEA PAX storage units in white. They are almost 8 feet tall and hold quite a bit.

      After looking at many tall storage units, I found using IKEA PAX units would give me a more built-in look.

      One of the great things about the PAX units is that they come in various widths and heights and they can be customized in many ways, both inside with closet rods, shelves and drawers.

      If you want doors for the unit, IKEA makes quite a few different styles of PAX doors from modern, classic with recessed panels to glass. You can choose doors that swing out like we added, but you can also choose sliding doors. On the IKEA site, you can go to the IKEA PAZ planner and design the unit you want.

      I am still adding what will be stored in each unit. One will hold small decor items and accessories that are now up in my attic.

      The second PAX unit will be for food and pantry staples that I buy in bulk at Costco.

      Creating Labels for the Shelves

      If you have been reading my blog for years then you know I like to label what I store and organize. I find labels help keep a space organized as anyone putting things away or looking for something knows exactly where it should go.

      When creating the small pantry closet in the kitchen a few years ago, I found these clear shelf label holders that snap right over the edge of a shelf.

      The clear label holders come in especially handy on the drawers where I can’t see what is in each. With a label, I do. 🙂

      The Craft Supply Armoire

      The large antique armoire where I store craft supplies stayed. I plan on painting this to look like it is lightly stained wood. What did change on this back wall of the room is where I hung my gift wrap organizer and ribbon organizer that used to be on the wall where the IKEA cabinets now are.

      On the shelves as soon as you enter the room, I store the small appliances I use the most often on the shelves as soon as you enter the room. That clears clutter from my small kitchen.

      The wicker magazine holders are from IKEA.

      This is the view of the room from the kitchen and foyer. I like that it is pretty and not cluttered looking.

      And if you haven’t noticed in any of the previous photos in this post, the popcorn ceiling is GONE!!! Having a normal white ceiling makes the room so much brighter.

      (Looking closer at the photo above I see when the drapes were hung back up, I forgot to clip the last drapery hook to the wall to hide the rod. Just did it. 🙂 To see what I am talking about, see this post: Tips for Hanging Drapes and Curtains.)

      I still have more to add to the PAX units, but am very happy with how this new multi-purpose room has turned out.

      If you have lived in your home for any amount of time, do a check to make sure your rooms and spaces are working for the way you live now, it might be time for a change.

      Decorating & Organizing with Baskets (A Place for Everything!)

      For the last few years I’ve set aside the month of January to focus on making small updates to our bedroom. This month, inspired by my phrase for the year “a place for everything and everything in its place” I decided to work on beautifying and organizing our room (along with other areas of our home). When I saw this wicker trunk at Wayfair, I knew it would be a charming solution for one of our bedroom storage issues.
      Today I’ll share more about my basket and why it’s solved this problem beautifully for us!
      I love organizing with baskets and have added several other new pretty ones to our home, too. Here’s a peek of a few of my other favorites which I’ll share about in a future post!

      We don’t have a large room, nor a lot of closet space, so I wanted to come up with some creative options to store things we use often.
      One source of storage frustration for us in this house has been a pile of blankets.
      Blankets can take up a lot of room.
      Where do you keep extra blankets when you don’t have a linen closet or extra space?

      I decided I didn’t want blankets to continue to take up precious space in our closet, so I’m thrilled to have found this basket! It is lined with a removable liner, so it’s perfect for storing blankets, sheets, mattress pads or even bed pillows. It could really hold anything from books to linens to hobbies and more!

      A trunk with a lid is ideal because it keeps the room looking tidier than an open basket and the blankets are still easy to access. The size of this one is so nice for the end of our bed, or even to tuck in a corner or against a wall. Unlike a large storage piece or wider trunk, the basket is tall enough to hold a lot but takes up very little floor space and is shallow enough to go just about anywhere.

      The rattan is a pleasant mix of warm browns and soft grays along with rope accents. The convenient handles make it easier to transport it. I love the personality and texture it adds to the room, too!

      I use all kinds of baskets and trunks for storing so many things around the house, including to:
      stash (useful) clutterkeep dog itemsorganize seasonal flowers and branchesstore paperwork hold tableclothsorganize gameshold cords and electronicsfold blankets and pillow covershide bathroom essentialshold remotes and keysand so much more!
      Are you organizing your home this month, too?

      A Phrase to Inspire You and Your Home in the New Year

      by

      This Post May Contain Affiliate Links. Please Read Our Disclosure Policy here

      Do you ever choose a word (or words) of the year to inspire you? This year I decided a word isn’t enough, I need an entire phrase.
      “A place for everything and everything in its place” is a very motivating and inspiring phrase for me right now! It’s not just motivating me to simplify or organize (although it certainly does that!) but to thoughtfully consider how each place in my home could be intentionally designed to contribute to a more peaceful rhythm and experience in my day. 
      An inspiring place to get dressed for the day. An peaceful spot to put on makeup. A lovely place for my jewelry. 
      On Sunday I repeated the phrase of the year as I began making some adjustments to the arrangement of our our bedroom, bathroom and closet.
      While I still have a ways to go to bring it all together together, without buying a single thing, I’ve already improved our bedroom and how I feel in it.
      I’m always delighted with how rewarding it is to slow down long enough to put your mind and heart into creating a sanctuary.

      My Quick & Easy Organized Gift Wrapping Closet

      by

      This Post May Contain Affiliate Links. Please Read Our Disclosure Policy here

      Today I wanted to show you my “use what I have” quick & easy organized gift wrapping closet.
      I’ve been working on organizing and fixing up small spaces in my home little by little this year. I’ve been sharing behind the scenes and progress in our HomeBody Gathering Place community (and these projects will continue even more in 2025 — come join us!). Since October in the HGP I’ve shared before photos and progress updates in my mudroom, pantry cabinets/closet and coffee station! It feels great to be making steady progress on decluttering, simplifying and beautifying spaces.
      This guest room closet really was getting out of control so something had to be done.
      In a smaller home, you can’t afford to lose any space to clutter or disorganization, especially a much needed closet.
      My dream and eventual goal was to wallpaper this closet and repaint the dresser, but I decided in order to quickly get some sense of organization and function before Christmas, I would leave the more creative or time consuming ideas for another season! My goal was to declutter and use what I have rather than get sidetracked on any grand ideas.
      I finally got a lot of the random stuff out that had piled up there (thanks to the motivation of our HGP Bag A Day challenge which we held this fall. We’ll be doing another community challenge and focus on simplifying our homes in the HGP in January, so I’ll be working another closet or room then!).

      Once the clutter was out, I started to think about how I could better use this space.
      When a closet or cabinet has a distinct function or organizational system, it won’t be as likely to get cluttered again. I had just bought some new gift wrap so I was inspired to focus on using this closet mostly gift wrapping and packing supplies. But also decided to use the upper shelf for guest sheets (I had bought these containers a year or two ago, they work great for organizing our lesser used guest sheets) as well as hung some out of season clothing to one side.

      Recently I shared my over the door organizer in this post: 10 Organizers We Use in Our Home. I bought this for a different purpose but now I love the organizer in here as it can hold all of the small gift wrapping items that had previously filled up one of the drawers in this dresser.
      I will probably organize the cubbies of this organizer even more, but it was simple to just toss items in and instantly have an empty drawer to use!
      This is a Restoration Hardware dresser that was here in the house when we moved in. It’s good quality and I never like to let a dresser go to waste so we moved it in the closet to make best use of space.
      Now it’s the perfect spot for gift wrapping and the drawers are a handy place for rolls of gift wrap, small boxes and bags, and a spot to stash gifts, too.

      Then I got an idea for what to do with the rolls of ribbon we’ll use when I wrap Christmas gifts this year. Some of them are in the door organizer, but I thought it would be fun to keep some of the new holiday ribbon I got from Rifle Paper Co. separate to use for Christmas.
      Since I only wanted to use what I had to organize this closet, I found I had an extra tension curtain rod to use for the Christmas ribbon. The tension rod fit perfectly on one side of the closet. Now this ribbon is organized and very convenient for use in this season. Plus there is a lot more room on the rod so I can add more ribbon!
      By the way, the trick to making ribbon functional on a rod like this is taping the edge of the ribbon when not in use. Otherwise it will unroll and land on the floor :).

      Our closet doesn’t have a wired in light so for now I used this set of two rechargeable lamps (on Black Friday sale right now!).
      I bought these earlier this year and have already found so many places for them around the house, but I decided the lamps in this spot will make gift wrapping extra cozy in these dark evenings!

      I’ve had the linen boards since my navy office two homes ago.
      I loved that office so much, I think I might want to paint this whole room navy in honor of it. 🙂
      The printable gift tags and Hygge art on the linen boards (which I bought at HomeGoods years ago) are free gifts for members of HomeBody Gathering Place! If you are an HGP member, you can find them in your dashboard.
      I got all of these adorable wrapping supplies from Rifle this year … including the cards, gift wrap, ribbon etc! I love them all!
      Now that I have a cozy spot to be, I can’t wait to make a hot drink, turn on some tunes and wrap gifts!

      10 Organizers We Use in Our Home

      by

      This Post May Contain Affiliate Links. Please Read Our Disclosure Policy here

      1. Back of door organizers.
      I have this one in a gray color, and also a beige color. This is our guest room and we use this organizer for gift wrapping supplies like ribbons, small boxes, bags, tags, cards, tape, scissors, etc.

      2. Bedsheet organizers.
      These neat organizers have become so handy for storing our lesser used guest and seasonal linens. Now we’re able to efficiently organize and maximize space on the upper shelf of the closet. Plus this allowed us to make more room in other areas of our home.

      The cases are hard — you wrap the sheets inside so they stand up like a box.

      3. Under bed organizers.
      I love these attractive linen toned under bed organizers (we use them in our guest room for extra pillows!).

      I also love these under bed organizers for under our daybed (pictured above). I talked more about them in this post: No Linen Closet? No Worries! 3 Reasons These Shallow Underbed Storage Bags Can Help!
      Lidded Trunk
      4. Lidded trunks.
      Click here for all above trunks
      I have two of this one! I use them for extra blankets.
      Cabinet Riser and Mug Source
      5. Cabinet risers.
      These cabinet risers come in a set of two — they are very handy to organize in cabinets!

      6. In-drawer knife organizer.

      7. Kitchen drawer organizer.
      I have several types:

      8. Kitchen wrap organizers.
      Foil, Plastic Wrap and Wax Paper Organizer with Cutter
      Similar Sandwich Bag Organizers

      9. In-drawer spice organizers.

      10. Lazy Susans.
      I have these wood lazy Susans above, and these black and white lazy Susans in my pantry.

      A Bag a Day Challenge Fall 2024
      Clutter is a thief of joy and a distraction from the peaceful, welcoming home we long to have. For many people, including me, clutter can feel so stressful and overwhelming. I’m not referring to the manageable amount of every day things you need or want to have around you, but the accumulation so much stuff that it causes anxiety or frustration.
      I got inspired by the Bag A Day method many years ago because it is so simple, doable and effective. 
      Often people feel overwhelmed because they overthink clutter or procrastinate dealing with it.
      If you are eager to make progress on a decluttered home this fall, you’re invited to join us for our Bag A Day September challenge in our HomeBody Gathering Place community.
      No need to overthink or over prep for the Bag A Day Challenge, just fill one bag of clutter every day and out the door it goes! 
      It’s that easy. You can do this challenge on your own, but you’ll find invaluable community encouragement and support in the HGP to finally turn your home into the sanctuary you’ve always wanted.
      After 30 days, 30 bags of clutter will have been removed from your home!

      The Bag A Day method is addictive in healthy ways! Once you get started, I promise going through the Bag A Day Challenge in the HGP will change the way you feel about your home.
      Of course you can also modify this simple method to your own schedule or needs. 
      Go on a clutter finding frenzy somewhere in your home every day or once a week— put your findings in bags. 
      Set a bag or a box by the door or a corner of the room and toss clutter in it every day.  
      Set a goal to fill a few bags every weekend. 
      However you choose to use the Bag A Day Challenge, we’ll do it together in the HGP!

      Think of the HGP as your home therapy group.
      Together we decorate, putter and declutter all year round.
      Every week and every season in the HGP we learn, overcome challenges and change mindsets. We fall more in love with our homes — and I’m there to answer questions and help you every step of the way.
