We have lived in some tight spaces. Our first was a one bedroom basement apartment,
and since then we have bulged some houses right to the seams. Right now we are renting a 3 bedroom duplex while we are building and things are feeling a little uncomfortable again, so I thought I’d share some favorite tricks for squeezing out every inch of space.
10. Under the bed: this is a perfect spot for toys in bins, out of season clothes, suitcases
9. Use vertical space. Think up! Install shelves, find pretty baskets, use the space above your cars in the garage, and in closets.

One of the most genius ideas I’ve seen on Pinterest (from here!) I just took a strip of magnet tape,
put it on the inside of our cabinet upstairs and on the side of the vanity downstairs, and we aren’t digging through the drawers for stray bobby pins anymore!
The one downstairs started peeling (from the humidity of the shower I’m thinking?) so I just added a few spots of hot glue to keep it down.
Just a little tip for you on a Saturday afternoon~

So, I had discovered the world of blogs. The first blogs I was hooked on were: Nesting Place, Our Best Bites, and Simple Mom. I checked every morning to see if they had updated and I had their buttons on my sidebar. I loved the world of blogging, it was fairly small back then and I got to “know” other bloggers fairly quickly, but my blog was still mainly a family blog with my projects interspersed here and there.
I chopped my hair off.
Here it was before I went in:
When we were moving, I did a dumb thing. (Lots of them, but this is just one I’m sharing today.) I was trying to see if my favorite lamps from our bedroom would fit into a certain box. I just folded it together (no tape!) to test it out. They fit, so I went along packing and forgot about it. I taped up the top of the box, slid it across the kitchen floor to the garage and then picked it up to add to the stack of boxes.
You guessed it: the lamps came crashing out of the bottom of the box onto the concrete floor. Even though they were wrapped, the top of one broke off. Sadness. These were from my Grandma Reeva for my birthday (well, she gave me the money, I picked them out) and she always, always lives true to the saying: “use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without.”
