Sunshine Magazine Holder

I not only love to collect ideas, but also the magazines they come in. But it is quite a mess to always find magazines all over the places; on the table, on the couch, even on the floor! One could easily solve this problem if have a magazine rack/holder. Magazine racks come in all sorts of designs and there are also lots of DIY projects you can try.

Here are some DIY examples

(via Pinterest)

simply use a hanger!

carton with wheels?

a shutter

diy with a frame

a wooden base+stripes of fabrics+nails=elegant magazine rack

or just twist your old hanger

wood/cardboard, cut and join!

This is what I did for my holder

1 wooden crate

1 small card board (I used one of the amazon package boxes)

few paints and brushes

transparent top coat spray/varnish (for protection)

little creativity!

result!!

notice the gap on base, this is where I used the cardboard sheet

Organizing Madness!!

Organizing is not always about spending $$$$ on storage trays or baskets. Sometimes just with little $ and some creativity one can make drastic difference.

A huge counter space around basin with drawers sometimes turns to mess by just keeping all stuffs on counter! Not just they are scattered, but leave behind stains, oil marks, etc.

One fine solution you may find at a Dollar Tree near by you. They have plastic baskets/trays (set of 3 mostly) in $1.00!!! Of course those are not high quality plastic like BPA free, but who needs those for toiletries! Here is a example what you can do with them.

drawer 2

complete mess free happiness :)

How do you organize yours?

Jewelry Organizing

Jewelry organizing tips! Everyone of us need it someday.

Mine were getting tangled and lost in a big box. Many of them were getting spoiled as well. So I started looking for organizing options and I was amazed to see so many ideas!

Some nice ideas for organizing your collection!

Keep items in sight

Beat the morning rush by keeping jewelry organized in such a way that it’s easy to see your everyday pieces, such as countertop accessories, organizers that hang from closet rods or racks mounted to the wall. Special occasion pieces can be stored elsewhere, out of sight so they remain protected from dust.

Necklaces

It’s best to store necklaces individually so that they don’t get tangled (this will also help you spot the one you’re looking for more easily).

Earrings

You definitely want to keep earrings stored in their own compartments, either in a drawer or an organizer that hangs from a hook or closet rod. Dangly earrings are best stored in a way that allows them to hang freely. Keep a stash of extra earring backs close by for emergencies.

put loop hooks on closet doors

Bracelets

Because they don’t tangle as easily as necklaces, you can choose to hang bracelets from countertop organizers or compartmentalize them in drawers or trays.

Bangles

Oversized, chunky bangles can pose a storage challenge because they don’t fit in standard sized jewelry boxes or trays. Consider using a paper towel holder that you can use to store them in a stack!
