Use antlers to hold your necklaces

Offbeat Homie Kayla made this necklace holder from a set of antlers that her dad had. But not without giving it a jewelry-pretty make-over…

Help! My bedroom is overrun by bras

Underwear easily rolls/folds and fits into the drawers I have. But I can’t figure out how to economically stuff 20 or more bras into a drawer and make them accessible. I can’t be the only bra hoarder. What do you do with clothes (but seriously bras!) when you don’t have a lot of closet space or existing furniture?

Key holders to put the “fun” in functional

What if your key holder was not only decorative but also pulled double-duty? I’ve rounded up some of the cutest, cleverest, and innovative(est?) key holders on the interwebs. From key holders that come with key rings that look adorable and can also help keep you safe, to creepy, and the slightly sexual. Hook yourself up with one of these holders and see if you ever forget to hang up your keys again…

Family meetings help my relationship, save me money, and rock my socks

I am a terrible housekeeper. I’m also terrible at saving money. And talking about my feelings. And cooking (because I don’t plan ahead). And making time for my husband. At least, I WAS terrible at all of these things until… family meetings! I found a print-out somewhere in the depths of the internet called “Peek at the Week.” I showed it to my husband and he was mostly indifferent about it until I told him all of my amazing plans.

Use a notebook and a pencil to keep your car running smoothly

Left to my own devices, I’m not the best at keeping up with regular car maintenance. Since most automotive repairs are timed in mileage, it’s easy to let a deadline zoom right past. I’m sure I’m not the only one who has a mental alarm that goes off when I hit 3,000 miles, so I’m going to share my Baskets! system for keeping my car on the road.

Magnets and deep claw marks: how we made our own industrial noticeboard

We made this Rusted-up, industrial, post-apocalyptic notice board out of a scavenged steel plate. It’s the first step in our post-apocalyptic adventurer home. And it’s pretty easy to do yourself!

Hang this pretty earring organizer on your wall

Homie StellarP says she snagged this great idea for earring organization from Pinterest. And it looks fabulous! Just take chains, hang them on the wall, then hang your drop and dangle earrings from them. It makes for some easy, pretty access, storage, and organization.
