I've started working on my resolution to get my life organized.
I always have notes everywhere so I decided to start keeping a great daily planner
that would be functional and where I could be creative too.
I have boxes of journaling and planner materials but I never seem to
have the time to be in my craft room to accomplish anything.
Then I had lightbulb moment.
Hubby had this old push cart tucked away in our garage.
It's a great size, has wheels that work great and it's free.
I purchased 2 cans of pink spray paint and today was an awesome
50 degree January day so I started painting.
TaaDah!!!!
My new mobile planner / journaling center.
I can roll it anywhere in my house.
So I can spend time with my family and be creative too.
I love it.
(hubby says he likes the pink color so much that I can keep it forever)
The containers are just things I had already so I'm giving them new life.
I love Washi tape and I have this little cubby spot up top for using now and
underneath the cart I added a wood rod just sitting on the little side brackets
for extra tape storage.
My daughter gave me a lovely pink planner for Christmas and now
I'm going to enjoy using it.
I've just barely started to organized my planner/journal
with the topics I want but I will show you my afternoon start up.
I'm going to enjoy my journey to organization.
More to come........

EXCELLENT - what a fabulous make-over - great colour and super efficient :-D xx
ReplyDeleteWow - it's terrific! I love that you repurposed all those boxes. I always tell people "use what you have," especially at first. You can always go back and spend money on containers later (though you probably won't.) I also love that the cart is on wheels. This works so well for crafts, and also for a homework station, a mobile office, or a wrapping station. Most excellent!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find from your own house! I love finding forgotten treasures in my garage and attic. The pink is fabulous and I am so jealous of your organizational skills! I am working on purging stuff from my house so it can be even more organized too!
ReplyDeleteI love this transformation! Of course, pink is my favorite color. I'd love for you to stop by and share it tonight at Totally Terrific Tuesday! The party starts at 10pm!

I purchased a cart exactly like that in the Spring...I was going to use it for gardening but something told me to hold off on that....Now I realize what I'm going to do with it...My large crafting area will love this!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I totally need something like that too. Love how you added the extra wash tape rod underneath.

ReplyDeleteI think the pink color is uplifting and cheerful and you have everything in one place so it is handy. I got myself organized last year and I have found life is much easier. Good luck with the organizing. I still have a lot of my children's old toys to give to my homeless shelter next year.
ReplyDeleteI really like your little cart. One of my goals for 2016 is to be more organized. This is a great way to start.
ReplyDeleteOrganization in my home is not my strong suit but I can go to someone else's and organize with no trouble. I think in my home I have too many distractions.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome idea! I can sure use organization skills! My mom did come this past year, and help me organize my kitchen so it's much better and easier to find things!
