this weekend's theme

~ storage ideas ~


For my son's toy storage - the most volume


For the stereo, the most unexpected.


For school paper work, the most yummy. :)



For simple things stored in simple things - the most accessible.


 For office storage - the most fun to play with. :)






Old crates to store stuff - the most vintage.

But the most drastic before and after for storage?


(cow picture is currently in storage.. will do a post on it soon!)


The greenhouse turned firewood shed - the most fun to create EVER.

Anything can be used for storage. ANYTHING.

With all your recent deep cleaning, have you come up with anything clever for creative storage ideas?
Let'ter rip in this weekend's 3rd themed linkup!




Be sure to check the themed linkups master list to add your newest creations anytime.
List HERE.

 
~ SNS blah blah linkup rules ~

1. Please link up your intended post, NOT your blog homepage url. (post, then click the title of your post, then cut and paste that url) If your post has been deleted, please try again.

 2. Please put a link in your post (button or text) that leads back to the party so others can see what's up! (see BUTTONS label under main blog header)

 3. This party is geared for DIY type projects we can all attempt to make ourselves. Items for sale may be linked up IF your entry is posted on your blog and in tutorial style.

4. For Home Decor and Crafts, Sewing, Cooking, please link projects up that are new to SNS and/or within 1 month old.  This helps keep content fresh!

The 3rd weekly themed link may have older posts and not brand new to SNS and will remain open for your new additions at any time. Click HERE for the main list.

If you can't decide which category to enter yours in, please just pick ONE and go with it. It's all good!


Vote for the linkups you like! The highest ranking one by Sun 11pm Pacific will be next weekend's themed linkup. I'll announce other high ranking ones we'll use too.

GRAINSACKS will be this upcoming weekend. 
Stay tuned for announcement on the WHAT IS IT JUNK linkup. It's on it's way too.

    Hi Donna,

    I meant to leave a comment last night but then after seeing your storage post I decided to do one of my own and link it up. I always tell myself I can do a quickie post but it never turns out that way for me. I would up staying up late and about falling asleep at the keyboard! ;-)

    Anyway, I love all of your ideas. I have some antique/vintage crates too. Most of them are way up high on a shelf and although they hold a few things are now mainly for decor as I can't get to them without a ladder. In my old house though, I pulled sliding doors off the laundry room closet and there were three, deep shelves, about 6' wide. I lined all three with crates, one next to the other, and kept all my kids lunch boxes, snacks and canned goods there. I loved it and miss that!

    Your shed is by far the coolest storage solution...ever!!!!

    Thanks for hosting and sharing your creative-ness!

    Nancy
