ReplyDeleteGreat idea about the folders! I can't tell you how many magazines I've throw out, only to later wish I had saved a great DIY article. Thanks for the input/ encouragment! Now, back to my cleaning:( hehe!
ReplyDeleteThat pink laundry room is so charming! And the forks are sooooo fun. I have crossed spoons attached to an old hook that I use in my kitchen to hang aprons. Love it! Great finds- as always!
ReplyDeleteOoh, the crossed spoon hook sounds cute. Is it something an average person could make or would you need a welder? Thanks for the comment!
ReplyDeleteRight up my ally :) Great inspiration!
