Craft Room Makeover

I am always on the lookout for great DIY organization ideas, and there are so many of them found over at The 36th Avenue! If only I could dedicate and ENTIRE ROOM to crafting!! Maybeee... I.... can. Hmm... who needs a bed anyway, right?

Divided Rooms

Is it just me, or does it feel like the longer you live in a space, the smaller it seems to become? This is definitely the case for me. I thought I didn't need a dining room or office when I moved in, but recently had a change of heart when I came home to a bed covered in unsorted junk mail. Ugh! So I started researching room dividers. Drapes, palettes, dressers... there are so many inexpensive ways to utilize unused real estate in your space, simply by dividing a room up. Take a look at some great examples...

Layering a Room

I've found these photos from Elle Interior very helpful as I'm helping my step-sister style her new apartment. She has A LOT of stuff, so we've been very mindful when layering her objects without letting the space look too cluttered. I actually prefer spaces with a little more to look at (the good kind of clutter.) We do LIVE in our homes after all! So it's okay to have our purses out and artwork taped to the walls! But as you can see in the room below, keeping a simple overall color theme helps keep the room unified.

Space & Style: Society Social

Mmm... Loving these colorful rooms styled by Society Social. And here's the best part: you can actually purchase the beautiful objects that make the rooms come to life!

DIY: Pallet Wine Tasting Shelves

Serious kudos to Napa-based wine shop Olabisi for coming up with this wonderful shelving idea for a tasting room. The great thing is, you can do it too! Just stack reclaimed pallets for a beautiful rustic looking shelving unit- perfect for a bar because the bottles fit right between the slats! They even made a DIY bar top with pieces of wood and burlap... take a look on the website Remodelista for more images and the step-by-step instructions.
