Well happy Friday and weekend to YOU!!
I gotta say, your responses to my last post made me feel SO MUCH better. I certainly do not feel alone, especially since so many of you feel the way I do.
There were SO many great suggestions (yes, I read every comment) and a couple of you mentioned the Sleep Cycle app on the iphone. I had heard of it before and decided to give it a try.
You see, I don’t usually have a problem falling asleep – it’s getting my booty up that’s hard. I LOVE the sleep part. ;)
It’s totally freaky, but this thing works. I’ve only used it two mornings but it’s kind of blowing my mind. It somehow keeps track of your sleep patterns and wakes you during your lightest sleep phase. So if I set it between 7 and 7:30, it goes off when I’m sleeping the lightest during that time.
The first morning it went off and I felt fantastic. I didn’t even hit snooze! Today it went off and I snoozed it, but then realized right away I felt fine. So I got up within seconds of it going off both mornings. That’s happened…uhhh. Never?
It’s freaky. I can’t believe that a little dollar app would make that big of a difference, but so far it has. I’m going to keep using it to see if it keeps up, but I thought I’d mention to my fellow owls so you can try it out. :)
Anyhoo, today I wanted to share some of the amazing spaces that were linked up at the first Show Us Your House party here at TDC! This month’s room was the office or craft space. Since I shared my office redo this month, I thought it would be appropriate.
There were so many awesome ideas I just had to share!
Andrea’s space is so serene and pretty, and the cutting table in the middle of the room is ingenious:
She used two dressers and two dresser tops from IKEA – for less than $150! I LOVE that! And what great storage. I am SO doing this someday. If only IKEA would move closer, darn it.
Brook’s hubby made this a table for her craft space:
And again, only $150 to build it! If you’re handy, it’s a great option. I could see doing something similar with two short bookcases and a butcher block countertop – now my wheels are really turning!! ;)
Janel uses chicken wire all along one wall as a larger than life inspiration board:
What a fun idea!
I love Bec’s wall of beautiful organization:
The shelves, brackets and buckets were all from IKEA (I guess it’s a good thing it’s two hours away) but you could totally recreate this with supplies from the hardware store!
There were some perfectly organized spaces throughout the links, but I wanted to share a few using pegboard. It’s is supa cheap – and I think it’s a brilliant way to organize!
Kellie makes it look easy with her pretty blue pegboard:
And Hayley uses it all over her walls in her basement craft room:
You won’t even believe this space is unfinished! Bravo!
I love how Liz changed up a beat up dresser into a shelving system:
The beadboard covering the top of the dresser was brillz. And this is a great option for when you want to store TV components in a dresser as well!
Carrie has one of the most organized spaces I’ve ever seen!:
The girl makes plastic baskets and wire shelving look so good, for real!!
I love seeing how people make the most of awkward spaces! Jen had an unused spot in her dining room and you won’t believe everything she fits behind that wall!:
This side looks pretty amazing too! ;)
Joanne used an unused closet and made a (pretty darn spacious) office out of it:
Love it!!
Let’s end the officepalooza with a couple of pretties, eh?
I loved Julie’s bright craft room with the graphic black and white striped curtains:
And all of the beautiful colors in Kammy’s craft space:
Love the ceiling and how she mixed all those colors!
So there you go! Some organization ideas and pretty pictures to inspire you! This week I moved my craft space to a different spot in our basement and I LOVE how it’s turning out. These links are making me even more excited for a finished room to decorate someday!
Hope you have a wonderful weekend! Holla!
