by on Jul 10, 2019

After the hustle and bustle of the season, I find myself going into this weird funk. Our home felt like it was going to burst at the seams with all the stuff we had accumulated. The last couple weeks I’ve been on major purge mode to help get things feeling peaceful once more. Plus it doesn’t hurt to be more organized!  This simple project is all about making life easier when it comes to rearranging the home. And all it takes is breathing a little imagination into something you might already have kicking around!
