Neat Things: Typedrawer Jewelry Displays

Recycling is good...upcycling is even better! I discovered these clever display boxes made from vintage typesetters boxes from Bluebird Heaven. I lean toward the dark stained wood since it shows the natural grain best but the painted versions are fun, too!

Design Inspiration: Storage Stairs

If you've been around here for any time, you'll know I have a fondness for organization, shelving and storage solutions--especially of the space saving type. Here's a few more I found Online--so clever, so practical, all DIY.

DIY Project: Wood Storage Cubbies

Nursery pots and planting paraphernalia stay put in these cleverly constructed garden shelves. The up slanted edges of the shelves were inspired by nesting boxes in chicken coops. So clever and space saving!

The DIY project instructions for this can be found here.

Design Inspiration: Mudroom

Galvanized steel planters provide just the right amount of rugged storage ― and a fun metallic glint ― above coat hooks in a mudroom.

They sell these planters at Ikea, folks...I'm so lovin' this idea to store hand tools out on our deck!

Design Inspiration: Pottery Barn Office

This is just the type of space I would LOVE for my office. Fresh, clean, open, white, natural light. Plenty of storage. Wall of windows with a view (well, I've got that already!)

Design Inspiration: Stairwell Storage

Found these photos today on the Poppytalk blog.  The photos are from the Come Up to My Room 2009 exhibition. The Courtyard House as it is called was created by Peter Tan and Christine Ho Ping Kong of Studio Junction, Toronto. 

Drawers built into stairs...BRILLIANT.  I want that at my house, please.  Someday...when I have a house that is!
