Do It On A Dime

Carson’s Room Tour!

by Filed Under: Dollar Tree, Online Deals, Organization

Before Carson was born I implemented an easy system in his closet that would make folding clothes and the hassle of constant clothing transition things of the past.  A favorite are these closet dividers…plus I love how they are LESS THAN $5!

Lots of you have asked to see an updated closet tour.  Did it actually work???  That was one thing I found when watching YouTube videos of moms.  You would see “great systems” implemented, but never find out if they stood the test of time (as many things don’t with kids).

So, here’s how his room looks today.  It’s not perfect (and far from perfectly decorated!) but it is such a functional and easy to maintain space in our house.  Here’s what I do to keep it easy peasy.

Also, here are the Closet Organizers that I love so much.  They are perfect for those first years of so much growing and transition!

Would love to hear your favorite tips!

In this video I take you with me to Dollar Tree and show you my favorite organization products it has to offer this season (Fall 2014)…I know it’s still summer, but they are gearing up for back to school so there are lots of super-sweet scores!  Woot.  Seriously.

I hope you enjoy touring the store and seeing some of my new organization systems at my house (I love seeing how people end up using what they buy!)

Don’t forget to watch my latest tag video here on all things YouTube (and some of my favorite YouTube channels) if you are interested.  Love this community <3

DIY Drawer Dividers

by Filed Under: DIY Projects, Dollar Tree, Organization

I have always wanted some of these spring dividers from Container Store/lots of other places.  Apparently they are awesome and work really, really well… like nearly 5 stars well.  Almost anywhere I’ve looked.  Pretty darn solid.

As much as I dream about owning them one day, rather than shell out the money  (because you know you can’t just get ONE…these things are like potato chips), I decided to try my hand at making my own.  And I am so glad I did.  They were so EASY to make.  The whole process probably took me 30 minutes start to finish?  Easy peasy, and the result is awesome.

They are sturdy and professional looking… and I want to keep doing this to all of my drawers!
