10 Smart Storage Ideas

Something about the start of a new school year just screams, "Get organized!" at me. And this year, our oldest started kindergarten (sniff) so I'm even more crazed to purge, sort, and stack. Since I KNOW you know what I mean, I've compiled 10 of my favorite ideas for repurposing things you may already have into awesome-ly useful--and stylish--storage containers.

Recycled glass jars with painted animal tops by House to Home

CD tower turned on its side by Itsy Bits and Pieces

Coffee cans covered with rope (source unknown)

Crib rail used for book storage by Living with Lindsay

Diaper boxes upcycled into cute storage crates by Mandy's Krafty Exploits

Wire magazine racks used for fruit instead by Willow House

Plain plastic bins Mod-Podged and with added wheels by Woman's Day

IKEA Spice Racks added to a dresser by On the Banks of Squaw Creek

A medicine cabinet disguised as a picture by Kate Pruitt courtesy of Country Living

Plain boxes covered with maps by Design Sponge

Are you inspired to hunt through your house to see what you can turn into a storage container now? I happen to be working on my own project using a repurposed shoe holder, which I can't wait to share with you once it's done. What are you working on?

Handpicked Hostess Gifts Under $20

You may have a holiday party or two to attend in the next couple of weeks...or maybe you already went and showed up empty-handed. Here are some handpicked hostess gifts that go beyond the ubiquitous bottle of wine. Show up with one of these, or send one along post-party with a thank you note, and you're sure to be invited next year! Keep in mind that many of these shops have "Gifts Under $25" collections, so if you don't find what you want here, browse a bit more. And finally, do yourself a favor and stock up! I made sure to include really reasonably-priced things so you can buy in multiples and not break the bank. Haitian Spirit Recycled Steel Ornaments --The Hunger Site Store (every purchase from this site helps fight hunger) Sassari Napkin Rings --Crate and Barrel Wine Cork Candles --Vat 19 (I know I've handpicked these before...I think they're that cool.) Owl Salt and Pepper Shakers --Pier 1 (they have lots of other cute sets, too) Set of Kitchen Towel

Peaches and Cream Scones

Good morning, sunshines! Sadly, peach season is coming to a rapid close, but before it's gone for another year, you've gotta try these scones! They taste like peach cobbler that you can hold in your hand! If you recall, I rounded up some great peach recipes for you a few weeks back, and this was one I just had to try myself. The recipe comes from A Latte Food . The only thing I changed was the amount of vanilla that went in the glaze. I decreased it from 1 T. to 1 tsp. Hop on over to A Latte Food for the full recipe, then swipe up the last of summer's peaches before they're gone!

Blue and Red Valentine Decorations

Hey there! Happy Monday! Have you undecorated for Christmas yet? I have to do a decoration detox for a bit after the holidays. I keep the decor to a minimum, but around now, I start to think about Valentine's Day decorations. I think it's hard to work with red and pink since our house is mostly blue, gray and green. But these blue and red Valentine craft ideas would look great in our house, and maybe yours, too! via via via via via via via via via You May Also Like: Key to Our Hearts Valentine Art DIY Heart Crayons Grilled Chocolate Marshmallow Sandwiches Vintage Valentine Crafts
