    Norrine, I have a must share idea😁 I have a very small craft room with a large window that faces the West. So, 1) it takes up nearly one entire wall, and 2) it gets very warm in there in the summer months. So, I thought, why not make indoor shutters from peg boards, adding a frame and paint to give them a finished look. Then I will have more storage right in front of me because the window is above my table, and I can open and close as needed. I am so proud of my self for think of this and had to share. Thank You for the inspiration to think outside the box.😁😊😀🤪

    My favorite upcycle for storage is a little butcher block we found at a garage sale for $20. We sanded the worn top so it looks new. Hubby painted the legs and the bottom portion of the block with a creamy white paint, and I took off the bar that was a handle across the front of the drawer and added glass knobs for pulls. It's the perfect "Cutting Table" and holds my large paper cutter on top, baskets on one side for paper scraps, and the drawer holds extra cutting mats, extra blades for my machines and my envelope maker.
    I just loved so many of the ideas here! Looking forward to more.

    I save Talenti jars for craft room storage. They are really great size for bits and bobs.
    Cribs also make great blanket ladders, and you can put one on the wall in the laundry room, on hinges, so you can lay sweaters or other delicates to dry , and then fold them flat when not in use.

    OMG Kitty Litter containers. You do not know how many I threw away. I kept a few lately and have found cheaper clumping litter at Tractor Supply that I pour into them. I noticed it now comes in the same type large container and now maybe I see a locker storage being made. We will see. I absolutely loved this one as I never thought of using a lot of these things. I do however store my markers like the Marvy ones and colored pencils in my empty Crystal light containers. I just love you as watching you has made me look at "stuff" in a new light. Thanks so so much. I find when I need an answer I bring you up on You Tube and search away. This way I get entertained too. Love and hugs

    We have loads of kitty litter containers for various items in the garage. They are supper sturdy.
    I use the Great Value version of Crystal Light containers in the counsel of my SUV. Six fit perfectly to hold various charging cables. No digging through a jumble to get what I needed because I wrote on the lid what's inside each one.
    I love that idea for the 2 liter pop bottles. They also work great as a yarn dispensers. Just cut a door in the side with the top and bottoms of the doors being just before the curve and about a third the way around. Gosh I wish I could share photos here to show you these.

    I'm rewatching some of your videos: We went through a knife storage issue a few months ago. The idea here is so darn cute! My husband didn't think it would be very sanitary, but we did come up with a solution combining what we already had and moving the knives into a larger drawer (rehoming the contents of that drawer), and adding one additional rack. The drawer the knives were in is now my spice drawer and . . . well, you know how it goes. LOL! But we are both VERY happy with the changes!

I've used old cribs to make benches and large dog beds. Also the old fashioned tables with storage under them make great small dog crates. I'm thrilled to get to recycle it's a win-win in my book and a great way to create a one of a kind family heirloom. 🦋💚🐞💙🐝

    I love these ideas. I keep many Mason jars, simple glass, or interesting shaped small glass jars. I cut down and cover cardboard boxes with vinyl shelf paper to store things upright (like wrapping paper). I use shoe boxes for attic storage. For those parents with an IKEA child's table and chairs: I stained my son's table and chairs dark green. The chairs can double as stools or mini display tables, and we use the table as a coffee table. Sturdy cardboard can be cut down and covered with shelf paper and used to line wire shelving.

    I have seen that kitchen knife storage idea before and plan to look for old cookbooks to use. The ones I saw just used regular books. I use Pringle tubes to carry chocolate chip cookies (or any cookie) when traveling. But now I will have to check Pinterest. I save glass jars. Some for kitchen use others for crafting. I have some cat litter containers with flip up lids like you showed and use them for miscellaneous stuff but love the ideas you showed. Thank you for all your inspirational ideas. I look forward to more videos. Thank you. 👍🏻🥰

    I used to use cat litter trays for storing my scrapbook paper & card in before I got a bed with drawers.
    A tip I have is to use ordinary ring binders for scrapbooks/memory books. I used to have to pay a lot of money to have them shipped from the US to the UK & couldn’t afford to do that anymore, so I now buy A4 (UK size) lever arch files that for A4 paper etc. So much cheaper.

    Brand New Subscriber to your Channel, and I loved this one! I’ll be binge watching your library. I’ve organized everything and anything since I was a child. Growing up poor, I learned to use what we had and then some. I’d cut up old clothes and even use TP (yes Toilet paper) for doll clothes. I’d make dressers for Betsy my doll from cardboard. I folding clothes and stored them vertically (like Marie K) in 4th grade, 197something! It just made sense to my 8 yr old brain. My Mom was my inspiration. She used those boxes your checks were mailed to you in for drawer organizers. If she wanted them to match, they got painted. If only her and I had written a book! lol
    I’ve used Crystal light containers and the cat litter box too. I loved your idea to spray paint the kids to match. I think using this will create that cohesive look no matter what brand/exact shape the container is. Ie; sterilize vs Rubbermaid vs container store.
    I LOVED your idea of cat litter bins for magazines! I may put an ad at my Apt mail center to take the empty ones for them. Who wants to take those to the dumpster lol

    Remember glass pop/soda bottles? Back "then", the empty returned bottles were sorted into wooden crates and
    sent back to the bottling company to be washed and used again. Those old wooden crates
    work great for storing my punches for card making. Depending on the size of the punch, I can
    fit 2 or more in each 3 1/2 " square and 4" deep openings of my old Royal Crown Cola crate that has a dozen openings.
    I've found these crates in off the road antique stores.

    The ironing board as a peg board is genius. The changing table , I have used as storage. They are expensive and frankly, I rarely used it for changing diapers. You can also use the metal mattress base of a crib as wall storage with S hooks. I turned an older TV armuar into a craft cabinet with shelves and a pegboard for the back wall. Husband had to reinforce it with 2x4s.
