1 – ORGANIZED HOME DECOR CLOSET
Happy Saturday! Kicking off today’s Saturday 6 with a blast from the past! Who remembers this? *If you do.. thank you for hanging with me so long. ;) When we built our home I designed this closet in the playroom to hold ALL the kids’ toys. It worked so well for us for years! As our kids grew older it became a catch all closet for lots of random things until I finally decided at the beginning of this year to make better use of this precious space.
This is what it’s looking like today! A happy place for all of my extra home decor. I shared these baskets at the beginning of the year and have loved them. I still need to get labels for them but they are perfect to hold smaller seasonal items. The 3 large woven baskets on my bottom shelf hold extra throws. (I’m using the large braided crate baskets and the 12 inch woven baskets.) I used to have most of this in our coat closet and other places around the house, but I did a major clean out at the beginning of the year and donated everything I wasn’t using and then consolidated everything else upstairs. It’s working so well to have all of my extra home decor in one place! (Seasonal decor like Christmas lives in my attic.)
I put large baskets and vases on the tall top shelf and extra pillows on the left.
This closet is always changing as I decorate and move things around (it looked different last week!) but so nice to have a central spot to keep everything. I miss the days that this space held toys – it was a happy spot for my kids! But now it’s a happy spot for me and I’m choosing to focus on that. :)
2 – SPRING WREATHS
CUTEST spring wreaths! I’ve had these on my mudroom lockers for a couple of months. I was going to share them earlier but they sold out right after they came in. They were just re-stocked!
I love the olive leaves and the ribbons. They come in a set of 3 and would look cute on chairs or cabinets or doors – so many fun options!
I love hanging Christmas wreaths on our lockers and now I have something I love just as much for the months in-between. :)
3 – WASHER CLEANER
4 – TARGET FINDS
So I’m having a love affair with Target purses. I do not need one more but just CAN’T STOP buying them. This is so cute for summer! I shared so many cute Target purses and beach bags in this post if you are looking for something fun for spring/summer!
I just took this cute Target purse to dinner Friday. Nothing like a date night with friends to kick off the weekend!
Our photographer. :) Kole is taller than me now but my heeled boots create an even playing field.
I also love these initial bag charms. So fun to attach to a purse or beach bag. It’s a great way to personalize a bag for a gift too!
Also speaking of Target finds my cute rattan lamp is back in stock!
Love it with this rechargeable light bulb so I can hide the cord!
5 – SWIMSUIT ORGANIZATION
BEFORE
Sharing an oldie but a goodie in case anyone is ready to get swimsuits organized before summer hits!
{mini clear bag small bags – I bought this same bag in the 2 sizes listed above}
{similar slightly smaller bags here}
These bags actually come in a set of 3 sizes now which would have been perfect for this little makeover!
It took no time to fold my suits and cover-ups..
and place them each in these little bags.
AFTER
It has been over a year since I did this and I have absolutely loved it! This drawer is always clean and it’s so easy to find what I need! Plus when we’re traveling or heading to the beach I can just toss these bags in my beach/travel bag and I’m set. Some makeovers just keep bringing joy and this is one of them for me!
6 – YARD
Signing off with a few pics from the yard! This climbing rose bush is taking off.. another favorite I planted years ago.
Swany (my kids lovingly named him – we’re pretty creative around here) and I are wishing you a beautiful weekend!
Looks great, Erin! Lots of fun finds, too. Love Swany! Have a fantastic weekend!
Ha ha.. thank you so much Jeanne! You too!
i JUST LOVE YOUR IDEAS! i LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR POST EVERY SATURDAY!
Oh thank you so much Cheryl! That seriously made my weekend! :)
Erin,
Love the decor closet! I know your Christmas lives in the attic, but I feel the need to notify you that one of my fav. Christmas pillows snuck into your reg. Decor closet!
The beige and white TREE Pillow! Perhaps since she is a neutral, she felt more at home away from the Christmas and snuck into the rotating decor closet?!?! ;)
BTW Kole is SO grown up and handsome! Also, yes, I remember when it was his (and the girls) toy closet! What is happening with time slipping away!
I’m ordering the washing machine cleaner right now! I’ve been needing to do this w/my washer and since you endorsed this one, I know it will be good!
Sherri! Oh my word.. you have a good eye! That Christmas pillow is there because I kept it up through February (being a neutral with trees it became a “winter” pillow..ha). Then I was too lazy to pull out my pillow storage bags in the attic when I put it away for spring so in the closet it went. ;) I hope you love the washing machine cleaners too! xx
