In order to keep our homes running smoothly it can’t all be about buying and displaying decorative objects. We need some basic functional pieces as well to help us keep our other stuff in order. At least that’s what I keep telling my clients who are struggling with clutter and chaos.

A few posts back I shared an example of storage as a work of art. This week I’m looking at storage ideas that are created out of re-purposed items.

I am a bag lady! It’s true! I love bags . . . tote bags, purses, back packs, beach bags, shopping bags, etc. My friends know of my “problem” so I have even received travel bags from other countries.
I especially like unique bags! I enjoy beautifully designed fabric bags, boiled wool bags, felt bags, [...]
