Home Ideas of 2013

Home Ideas of 2013 | City of Creative Dreams

Yesterday I spoke about all the organizing solutions that I concurred in 2013, well I shared 13 of them to be exact. However, I did not only just do organizing solutions but other home ideas and crafts too. If you are not familiar with some of my posts then this is the ultimate review of all that I have done in 2013. Like many bloggers, I am proud of my work and love sharing what I am up to in my little world or organizing and being creative.

 Pencil Cases

This was my very first ever post that I posted. I was helping my siblings pack their bags for the first day of school and thought about making their pencil cases stand out so that it would be impossible for them to lose them. It turned out great and up to now they still have them and I can for sure say that no one in the school has the same pencil cases as them. What a great way to start the new year of school.

Closet Dividers

My next project was inspired by iHeart Organizing version. I wanted mine to be thicker and with pictures for my sibling’s closet. Now they have their clothes organized by long sleeves and short sleeves or dresses and shirts. Easy to make, easy to organize. If you have extra cardboard at home from cereal boxes to oatmeal boxes, why no reuse them to give it a new purpose at home.

 Drawer Organizing

Their garments and socks were defiantly exposed for this organization home idea. I am so mad that I did not think about this sooner for my siblings. I was so focused on getting expensive sets for drawers then thinking about alternate solutions. With this simple, affordable baskets, you can make the perfect separators to keep your garments and sock in one spot and not mixing up everywhere.

Dresser Dividers

Would you believe that this project right here is one of my highest views? I was shocked too. Something as simple as cardboard and adhesive design paper can make a dresser divider. Why did I ever want to buy one in the first place? Making them were so easy, it is completely customizable to any drawer, any dresser and it cost at most $2.00. I could see why this post is so popular.

 Family Board

This is one of my favorites, an older frame from a broken mirror, add cork board and adhesive design paper and you got a new family home pinboard. This turned out amazing and didn’t take too much time to make. Add a matching clipboard and you got yourself a well-organized board!

Entry Closet Organizing

I took a moment to organize our coat closet (that I don’t even hang my coat in lol). Using baskets for mittens, hats, and scarves. Taking the non season items out and leaving only what we would need for the season out. Also do the same for shoes as well. It is a great way to keep the closet from because of a complete disaster.

Home Ideas of 2013 | City of Creative Dreams

My friend made this book insert for me a long time ago and thought I would share with others who love a good classic book…book lovers. Never again will you lose your spot in a good book. Of course, I am talking about the read books that you hold in your hands and can touch with your fingers. This project would not work on a tablet or e-book lol.

Under the Bed Organization

The project was another favorite because we all know that it is not easy to get your kids to keep toys where they should be. No matter what you do you see to find toy hidden under the bed. No more with this because I took the best storage to a whole new light with IKEA storage bags and plastic drawers. Now the toys will be under the bed but in a neat and organized way.

 Organizing Bookshelves

If you are loving my home ideas so far, check this out. I also took a moment to organize the living room bookshelf. It will take some work to keep it like this but I am not giving up so far. I am determined to get everyone on the same organizing page. I decluttered papers and keep everything a simple as possible.

Storage Box

This one was another popular post among readers. I love this storage box. My mom bought them at Superstore for an awesome deal. It is the perfect mixture of storage and a seat. So worth the money, I made my mom go and buy more for our place lol.

Upcycle Side Table

Upcycling this side table as a home ideas are great! I made this a long time ago but thought I would share this with you since I took something that was on its way to the garbage. My aunt told me that she did not want this because it was broken but little old me knew that I could fix it the moment I saw it. The best thing about this project is that whenever I ever am tired of this leopard print I can always change it.

Lastly, for my list of home ideas, I took two vases that I originally used as pencil holders and gave it a new life by the window with single flowers. You don’t always need something a bunch of flowers to make a big impression. A simple vase, few stones and a single flower can still brighten up a room. 

Did you really think that is all? Of course not! Go on and explore I’d love to share more with you, check out my about page! I hope you have some time, I would love to hear from you.
