Hope everyone had a great Memorial Day Weekend with their families!

Today I wanted to share with you guys a super quick and easy tip on how I added a temporary skirt to the built in table in our laundry room.

Anything I do to this place has to be done without changing or damaging the surfaces in any way.

Command Strip hooks were put in place under the table top at each end.

And a small diameter curtain rod with clip rings was hung from the hooks.

My piece of fabric was then clipped from the back a couple of inches from the top to give it that pinch pleat look. You could sew a regular rod pocket into your fabric and not do clips, but I think they clip rings help it slide open and close a lot easier.

Couldn’t have been easier, and since I already had everything on hand it cost me nada. Love that!

It’s so nice having all that stuff hidden out of sight.

Makes me want to slap a skirt on everything 😀

I think it would work well for hiding things in open bathroom vanities, pantries, heck even garage shelves (I’ll have to remember that one)!

Do you guys have skirted storage in your homes?

This looks great! The skirt really helps to add some dimension to the room. We love that you used a Pfister faucet for one of your renovations, and will be featuring your blog on our Facebook page later today. Is there an updated Facebook page we can link to (the old one goes to Baby's Nest)?

2012 home resolutions revisited

Last year I decided to make home resolutions. A list a things I wanted to get done around the house before the end of the year. It’s much easier to hold myself to things like that instead of pretending that I’ll actually go to the gym regularly. Yesterday I went through last year’s home resolutions to see how I…

I’d like to introduce you to the chicest bean bag chairs EVER. I’ve been wanting to make the kids some bean bag chairs for what feels like ages. I’ve never come across any in the stores that are good enough – large, neutral non-cartoon themed, and sinkable. I say sinkable because a lot of them…

Laundry Room Design Board

Our laundry room has come a long way from when we first moved in, but I’ve never really loved it. It’s a dark room with zero natural light. A few years ago I added wallpaper in an attempt to make it interesting, but it just never felt like the rest of the house. The other…
