Colorful bins are a great place to store shoes and socks in a mud room area in an entry way

My family has had problems in the past with having a place to store our off-season clothes. So I've come up with a few  ideas of where to put them.

We have a lot of junk down there! Now that my daughters are teens and like to have their friends over more often, it would be nice to have a big space for them to host their friends. My home has a very open floor plan, so the only private space they have Continue reading...

Scotch-Brite Lint Rollers are great for cleaning pillows

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #StickItToLint #CollectiveBias I always have a few Scotch-Brite™ Lint Rollers in my house.
