Hi Reader! Last week over on the blog, I shared the easiest way to label large storage bins in your garage, attic, basement...anywhere! And while I'm practically obsessed with the ease and durability of this solution, it can't be used on every single bin around your home (especially ones with texture). So today, I wanted to share my favorite (time-tested!) ways I label pretty much every bin or basket in our home. No matter the size, shape, texture, or surface, one of these is sure to work! Brass FastenersIf you've been on my blog for even just a minute, you've seen this solution in action...because it's the one I use over and over. If your basket has holes, using simple brass fasteners (yep, from the office supply section!) is a great way to attach labels. Not only do they keep labels secure, but they add a fancy detail too! TIP! Not a fan of brass? Look for fasteners in other colors! Clip-On Label HoldersIf your baskets don't have holes, these chic bin clips are my next go-to. Anytime you need a swap, the label slips right out. Plus, you can easily change the colors/text/layout by printing out any label design you like! TIP! The Container Store used to be the only place to find these. But now you can find bulk packs (in other colors!) on Amazon! Peel & StickIf you need to label a hard, solid surface, some sort of peel-and-stick label is the way to go. These solutions stick right on, can be endlessly customized, and can peel right off when you need a change. My go-tos?

Hi Reader! Last week on the blog, I spent some time chatting about plants, particularly how to move them. And since my solution is usually not to move them, I get lots and lots of opportunities to try new plants each time we settle into a new place. In recent years, I've found myself buying the same few plants over and over because they are the perfect combination of 1) easy to care for, and 2) they look really good! Read on to see the three plants I always have in my home! Pathos. Pathos...
Hi, Reader! It's official - we just got notice of our community's annual yard sale date! And that was the exact motivation I needed to re-visit and update my tried-and-true garage sale prep process. I've now got all my tasks populated on my calendar so that we are ready for sale day; and I even updated my trusty checklist for you! If you're gearing up for the Spring selling season too, below are all my best resources for getting organized and having the most successful sale ever! START HERE...
Hi Reader! Last week, over on the blog, I (finally) detailed the very painful process of removing the peel and stick tile from our rental kitchen. And there was one tool that was essential to getting the project done. Read on to see why my hair dryer (!!!) is one of the most-used items in my "rental decor toolbox." As a renter, I rely a lot on peel-and-stick products. From adhesive wallpaper on our walls, Command Strips on our frames, stick-on shower caddies, and more...sometimes you just...
