Pictures, pictures, pictures...

For weeks I've been on an organizing rampage: recycling this, getting rid of that, moving other things to "just the right spot". I've been particularly obsessed with my home office which went neglected for years due to a crazy work schedule. Finally, my effort is paying off. The five-year-old piles of documents has shrunk to just one. Old bookcases have been repainted and relocated to my daughter's room. Now, if I could only figure out what to do with all the still pictures. So far, I've about a dozen of my favorites to pretty white frames. I also decided to do something a little different, so I took this adorable picture of Natalia, slapped it onto a white painted board and Mod Podged till each of my fingers stuck together. I'll find a place for it on the wall, then tackle the rest of the still pictures and storage boxes of Natalia's artwork. Hopefully, I'll be done with the office before 2015 rolls around.

Tricked out closet...

I wish this was my closet but it's not!  Stumbled upon on it while scouring through pictures on Houzz. It's amazing how simple ideas crammed into a narrow walk-in closet can transform it into a dream space. I'm going to steal some of these tricks and see if they work magic in my closet. Heck, even a pretty step stool would make me feel fancy picking out clothes. Looks like I need to plan a trip to HomeGoods...
