Organizing - DIY Storage Ideas

Do you have too much "stuff", or maybe live in a small space? Here are some DIY storage ideas to help us get some of that "stuff" organized.

A really cute DIY storage crate made from picture frames. Instructions can be found at... meridianroad.blogspot.com




How about a storage ottoman? This would be great for family games, books or magazines. Find out how it's done at hgtv.com



I love this idea... from familyhandyman.com. PVC curling iron holders. 



I think I need to make one of these for my kids' school papers. Very cute and functional. Instructions from familyfun.go.com


Hope you're inspired to make something to keep your life more organized. Thank you for joining us.
