Bookshelf Bedroom

This was my apartment bedroom.  I took two IKEA bookshelves and put them on either side of my king size bed.  Next I hung a shower rod between the two bookshelves.  I hung blackout curtains on it.  I think it made a great backdrop to my bed.  It did block out the window for the room but I was ok with it.  I like it very dark when I sleep so this blocked out the sun.

Organize Kitchen Small Space

Before we moved into our house, the boys and I were living in a small apartment. Since we came from a house with a nice size kitchen I had a lot of cooking supplies.  I love to cook and entertain.  With our new space I could still cook and entertain on a smaller level.  I experimented with different ways to save space or make space.  My apartment as you can see only had two above cabinets, two below, and a small pantry.  Here is was my solution to housing all of my cooking utensils:

The hooks that I hung them on I got from Dollar Tree.  They are $1 come with the screws and are white.  I spray painted them gold.  I actually have a lot of these hooks and have them for different uses all over my house.  I have one in my boys room for their jackets and backpacks.  In the playroom currently for Noah's rainbow loom bracelets.  In my closet I have two, about to be three.  Right now I have one for my purses and the other for belts and scarves.  The next one will be for my necklaces.  I find I wear more jewelry if it is out and easy to grab.  Being a working mom of two I have about 15 minutes in the morning to pull together a look.  My boyfriend has some in his closet as well. He hangs his hats on one, and his pants on another.  Lots of uses!!
