We are not all blessed with the luxury of a wonderful walk in closet in every room of our home.  In fact, it’s not very often that there are even walk in closet in the master bedroom, unless you have a newer home.  It’s just something we learn to deal with.  However, this great post written by Our Fifth House has some amazing ideas of what you can do to maximize your storage space without having to necessarily size down your wardrobe.  I can guarantee you will be able to utilize at least one of the tips, if you are not doing so already.  These tips will also work great for your children’s rooms as well.  See what you think.

  1. Can we talk about how that post has absolutely nothing to do with actually small closets? I’m vaguely offended at the suggestion as I type this from 11’x24′ house with a “closet” that’s probably less than 8 sq ft.

Dollar Tree Strainer Pumpkin Tutorial

This Dollar Tree Strainer Pumpkin is such a clever little fall craft, and I love that it turns something completely ordinary into rustic farmhouse décor. A simple kitchen strainer suddenly becomes a sweet autumn pumpkin filled with mini pumpkins, acorns, leaves, and seasonal texture.

What makes this project so charming is the mix of materials. The metal mesh strainer gives it that slightly vintage, farmhouse look, while the twine-wrapped handle makes it feel warm and handmade. Add in the burlap leaf and little fall fillers, and it becomes the kind of decoration that would look lovely on a mantel, tiered tray, kitchen shelf, or Thanksgiving table.

This is also a great budget-friendly Dollar Tree craft because you can customize it with whatever fall supplies you already have. Use white pumpkins for a neutral farmhouse style, orange pumpkins for a classic autumn look, or add berries, cinnamon sticks, raffia, ribbon, or fairy lights to make it your own.

I especially like that this project is different from the usual wreath or painted pumpkin craft. It has a cute “repurposed kitchen item” feel, which makes it perfect for anyone who loves upcycled décor and cozy handmade fall projects.
