Found these photos on the Good Housekeeping site. Benches really are very versatile. You could hide those important papers anywhere in the house (pic 3). All great uses!

In my opinion, the bins can stay. The hangers on the other hand stink and should be immediately replaced with the slim velvet style. Those can be found at any Marshall's, Tj maxx, home goods and lots of other places.
I have a coatrack in my entry because it was way easier than hanging hooks. And that, can go either way. If you go through it every couple weeks or so, it's fine. If you dont, it can turn into monster.

They wouldn't touch these bins, hangers, and drawers with a 10-foot pole.

A tidy space is just a few mini projects away.

Often, when we combine our dream house with our dream décor and dream artwork, the price point is something we could only dream of affording! But, with some clever buying strategies and decorating decisions, you can get real close!

1. Layer rugs

Found the rug of your dreams, but the full-size is out of your price range? Layering can save the day. Not only is it a
trendy approach to add dimension and personality to any room, but it can save you a pretty penny on your floor decor. Here’s the scoop: purchase a large sisal or jute rug that fits in the room and then buy a smaller version of your favorite rug to sit on top

2. Group Similar Items

Large walls can pose a big challenge for décor. Whether you’re looking for an oversized piece of statement art or a big mirror t0 help brighten a room, large wall decor is often very pricey. Rather than seeking out a single piece, consider a grouping of similar items (e.g. using four smaller frames of the same size versus one)
The same approach can be used with mirrors. Purchase three floor length mirrors and hang them sideways on the wall (so the sides touch). This can create the same effect as a full-size mirror for half price!

3. Mix and match

Many times, design goes over budget because of quantity, not size. Think about your kitchen table. One dream chair for $199 isn’t so bad. But, once you purchase the six chairs or more you need for family and friends, your dream chairs are suddenly out of budget and out of reach. A little compromise will do the trick. Get two of your favorite chairs for the ends of the table and some less expensive options for the middle. Not only is it budget-friendly, but it looks great!

The black hole that is your sink cabinet. Some excellent ideas to coral that clutter.

Your under-sink area needs to work hard; it can't just be the resting place for that giant bottle of dishwasher detergent you picked up at Costco. Today we're talking about all the little stuff that needs a home: sponges, brushes, and even that weird thing you use to scrape your pans that doesn't ha…

I'm obsessed with entryways

Don't have an actual entryway? You're not alone. Small space dwellers and those with modern homes that didn't build an entryway into the floor plan all suffer from being dumped right into a living room and not having a proper introduction to a home (not to mention a spot to store day-to-day items yo…

I especially love the peg board and dresser ideas. I have a dresser in my front room (hallway) that I repurposed from the bedroom. It catches all of the winter gear and small sports equipment and jersies. With 3 kids, there's tons. And, when your low on drawer and cabinet space in the kitchen, the pegboard can be painted to match your wall color and blend in or make it fun by painting it a contrasting or bright color.

What if I told you you could give your whole home a makeover right now for exactly zero dollars? Really! Swapping out furniture and accessories – the ones you already own – between rooms offers an instant refresh to both spaces. Here are 10 versatile pieces to swap in and out of every room in the ho…

Modern rustic is a decor style most probably haven't heard of. But isn't it beautiful! Mixing industrial design with the clean lines of modern decor.
