Six On Saturday: New Uses For A Hair Dryer

I found some great new uses for a hair dryer that just might "blow" you away! :)

1) Detach a photo from a album. To get a delicate photograph off one of those sticky pages, blow warm air onto the back of the page while gently tugging the photo free.

2) Erase crayon marks on wax spills. Kids gone wild again? Blow-dry the stain on high until the wax melts, then wipe with a soapy sponge.

3) Remove those stickers. A little hot air quickly removes those price labels- with zero fingernail chipping frustration.

 

4) Dust tough-to-reach places. Set the dryer on cool and point it at dusty shelves (highest shelf first), intricate knick-knacks, or even silk flowers to blow the debris right off!

5) Perfect frosting or icing. To harden frosting on cakes or cookies, blow cool air directly on it. To brighten a dull finish, give the icing a hit of hot air.

6) Dewrinkle plastic shower curtains or table cloths. Blow hot air onto fresh-out-of-the-bag material to "iron" out wrinkles- just keep the dryer about 12 inches back from surface. You don't want a wrinkle problem to turn into a melting problem. :)

Valentine's Day Themed Shelves

In a week from today it will be the first day of February. Crazy, I know. It seems like it was just New Year's day. So I thought I better get decorating for love day...that's what we call it in our family. Happy love day. :)

My mantel is a hard place to decorate because of the huge TV, so I have been decorating my shelves instead.

I wanted to keep this low budget and simple, so the only thing I bought for this display was the candy hearts and the fresh tulips.

The mail boxes I made last year. I just placed them on some candlesticks I had in storage and there you have it...cuteness.

The LOVE sign was a revelation I had late one night while blogging in my office. I was thinking about Valentines and wanted to put something with the word 'love' on my shelves. But I didn't have anything in my house....or did I? I turned around in my chair and behold....

Yes! That canvas wall art that I made would be perfect! So I snagged it up and ran down stairs and placed it on the shelves at one o'clock in the morning, just to see how it would look! Ya, I know that's a little crazy...but that's me.

I think the shelves turned out nicely. Simple and sweet. Happy love day. :)

21 Days To A Clean Organized Home: Day 21- It's Your Choice!!

Well, you made it! Today is the last day of the series! I thought for day 21 you could choose any area in your home that needs some organization that I may not have covered in the series. Maybe a craft room, or the kids toys, or maybe even your car! Mine needs a cleaning in the worst way!! That will be this weekends project for me.


Anyway just for fun, I wanted to share with you three ways I organize things in my kitchen just to make my life a little easier.

 
The first is my soap dispensers...

I found both of these glass olive oil bottles at Target, on clearance! The white one stores dish soap while the clear one stores my lavender hand soap. I think they are cute ways to organize plain, boring soap. It's out in plain sight, but pretty to look at!

Next, is my favorite steal from Kohl's...

The over-the-door towel bar has been a nice way to keep a dish towel close at hand. I say it was a steal because it only cost $10 bucks, but I had a $10 coupon. So for me...it was FREE. :) The Valentine's dish towel I won from Relish! last year. How sweet is that?!


Finally, I wanted to show you how I organize my frequently used spices and oils...

I found this cake stand at...you guessed it Target. And yes, it was on clearance too! I placed a small wooden turntable on top. And this is where I keep my salt pig, pepper grinder, olive oil, canola oil, and (for my husband) cinnamon/sugar shaker. I keep this next to the stove for easy access while I am cooking.

Those are just a few tips in organizing and simplifying your kitchen area. 

 

I want to say a big 'thank you' for joining me on this journey. I hope you enjoyed the series and you found it to be encouraging.  I know my house is sooo much more organized and each day I am enjoying the reward of my hard work! :)

Next month I will be starting a new series, but this time I will be giving some tips on relationships. I hope you will join me. More details to come soon. :)

 

And one last reminder, don't forget to enter the giveaway for the set of 5 pantry labels from House of Smiths Designs. The giveaway will end this Friday, so don't delay!

21 Days To A Clean Organized Home: Day 20- Organizing Pots and Pans

There are so many fabulous ways to organize your pans and pots...

If some stranger rang my door bell and said they needed

to install these in my house... I would say, "Come on in friend!"

I would love to have pull out drawers like these. 

Everything has its own slot with lid....beautifully organized.

This kitchen just caught my eye. I don't know if it was

the black color or the crazy amount of pans lining the walls.

Ok...now back to my reality. My pot and pans needed to be dealt with...

After reorganizing my glass bakeware, I knew the perfect accessory for this space...

I placed my big stock pot in back because I don't use it very often. And I reorganized my other post as well.

And by the way, I didn't put all the pots back. These guys will go to the donation box...

And here is how my pots and pans look now...

I just adore this pan organizer. It gives you more storage plus you can pull anything out easily. Easily being the key word! :)


I hope I gave you some great inspiration to help you organizing your own pots and pans. Tomorrow is the last day of the series..*sigh*
