Hanging closet dividers are a great way to add some organization to a full ⁣
closet...especially if it holds multiple sizes or seasons. This project is really easy (and fun!) with the help of a Cricut Maker!⁣

It only took me a couple of months to organize our linen closet 😅 Not because it was complicated, but because sometimes we get in our own way from just getting projects done. Stop by the blog today to read some great lessons learned for organizing linen closets AND carrying projects across the finish line 🙌🏻⁣

Confession time! Apparently I never learned how to fold sheets properly 😅 The wonderful lady who watches the boys a few days a week recently helped me finish up some laundry, including folding up all of our freshly washed bed sheets. When I looked at the perfectly square, neat and tidy package she made out of my jumble of sheets, I instantly said “Teach me your ways!” After watching her method just once, I was struck how simple and obvious it was (especially to get the fitted sheet nice and flat!), and I knew adopting her folding techniques would make a huge difference in keeping our linen closet more orderly. Head to the blog to see how to fold sheets so they are tidy, look great, and stack nicely…in case you never learned either 😉⁣

It's no surprise that if you really want to transform your rental (or ANY home) into a space that feels more special, personalized, and stylish, you will most likely need to hang things on the wall. And while I have become a big fan of hole-less hanging via Command Strips in recent years, there are still some things that require nailing or screwing into drywall (e.g., heavy art, shelves, curtain rods, etc). ⁣
⁣
This shouldn’t stop you though because patching up drywall holes is quicker and easier than you might think. That's why I want to show you how to fill nail holes in your walls using an easy, inexpensive all-in-one ⁣product. This tutorial is sure to come in handy whether you’re getting ready to move out or you just made a mistake hanging your new art. ⁣
