So. Many. Ideas.

I am getting so anxious and excited to move into our new house! Here are a few fun ideas courtesy of my new favorite website: realsimple.com



I don't have kids yet but I thought this was so cute! Use shoes as a growth chart:
Customize a clock with pretty fabric:

Turn a picture frame with a piece of colored paper or fabric into a vanity tray:



Use mini alphabet cookie-cutters to create monogrammed candles:

Turn a picture frame into a dry erase board: put a pretty piece of fabric behind the glass: Plant herbs in flower vases, wrap in stock paper and label:

Use cornstarch to clean a grease stain on carpet: pour over stain and let sit fo 10 minutes then vaccuum

Use a lemon to clean your wooden cutting board

Use a coffee filter to prevent soil from draining out of flower pots

Clean your dishwasher with vinegar: once a month run an empty cycle with a cup of vinegar

Put citrus peels in your garbage disposal: the texture will clean it and the oils will make it smell yummy!

Stencil paint a plain throw pillow for a new look

Use foil to cover door knobs when painting
