$3 Dollar Tree Bathroom Makeover

Hey everyone!

My family and I had another recent life change. I am going to create a YouTube video about it because I think it might be easier than trying to create a lengthy blog post about it. In this video I sort of elude to a part of the change and it is no big secret to a lot of my family and friends. I just want to explain it all in one video post.

Today I have a video to share with you. I am really excited to share this transformation with you all because I am certain I am not alone when it comes to having this issue. There are five of us in this house who share one bathroom. There are two full bathrooms in this house but we share the master bathroom as far as storage and all that. My mom and I tried to organize my family's hair care products and facial items and things into a small space and it looked great! The problem is that it did not function very well so I had to come up with something else!

That is when I decided I would check out my local Dollar Tree. It's a great place to shop on a shoestring budget and get something really nice to keep the space tidy. I spent $3.21 on my organizational items. I hope you will enjoy this short video of how I transformed a small space into our bathroom into something functional and fresh!

Thank you for watching this video. If you are new to my YouTube channel, please don't forget to like my video and click on the subscribe button. I read all of your comments! If you have a tip on organizing small spaces on a budget, please feel free to leave me a comment here on my blog or on my YouTube channel. If you leave a video response I would be more than happy to check out your channel!

Hugs,

From hideous to Well, hello!

Hey everyone!!

It's another  here in southern Indiana. I have a really great website to share with you today. It's the Refashionista! Have you heard of her? If not, you MUST check her blog out after you finish reading this post! Seriously, you will be amazed at her mad refashioning skills! Her claim to fame? "I'll change the way you think about fashion." She is not kidding!!!

Like most everything else I share here on this blog, I found her on Pinterest. I just love that place! I told you it's a great place to visit!! So I was intrigued by reading that she takes clothing that someone else doesn't want anymore... (holes, stained, damaged) and she buys them for fifty cents or a buck ... sometimes they are just given to her for free, and she transforms them into creations I had no idea was even possible from such a mess of material!

Even if you do not want to learn how to sew, or alter your own clothes, it is definitely a great blog to check out. She has such a big heart. She donated cat nip toys to her favorite animal shelter that she made from one of her least favorite items found in clothing...shoulder pads! Yeah, she did!! She even spent a whole year creating fabulous pieces for an organization that helps women in need. I love that! You can read all about that on her bio page. I think that is a pretty selfless thing to do and my hat is off to her!

Thanks to her my list of  MUST DO sewing projects certainly has grown. You may find yourself looking at your wardrobe in a brand new way, as well. Just another blog to prove one man's trash is truly this girl's treasure!!!

Now off you go to explore!! Just remember to come back tomorrow for Thrifty Thursday. After sharing her website and exposing you to a brand new way to think about fashion, you may have some Thrifty Thursday tips for me. I'd love to hear them!!

Closet Makeover: Before and After!

Hey everyone!

It's finally Friday. I am working a 12 hour day shift today and anyone that knows me knows what a challenge that will be! But I am sure it will be fine! My sister is visiting from Tennessee with her husband and son so I hope to spend a little time with them on Sunday ... Mother's Day!

Do you remember the theme for today?

I am excited because I have a guest blogger celebrating with me! She is a sweet and dear friend. You will hear me speak of Christina many times!! You can visit her blog here:

 

I love before and after photos. I just love to see the transformation something can have when a little love and attention is given. My entry way closet was a horrid mess! It became a sort of catch-all. It certainly did not function as a useful space and although a couple of coats were hung in the closet, they were rarely worn and so the closet was not serving any real purpose other than to collect junk!

I told you on Wednesday that I love Pinterest. I truly do. There are so many great closet storage ideas there and I have been truly inspired by many of the photos I have pinned. So I decided to take a little time and make a list of what I needed to get organized. I sent my husband to the store with said list but he found something far better and much cheaper so of course I was very happy! He even was sweet enough to put it together and install it for me. So without further adieu, here is the ugly before and the pretty after!

  

I know! STOP! Enough! Right? It was messy and did not function for our needs at all! So here is the new solution. Keep in mind that it's a work in progress, so it's not totally finished but it's much better than it was before!

Thanks for hanging out with Christina and me today! Hope you were inspired to finish something on your to-do list today!

Hugs,
