Our house has very little storage and shelving. The kitchen and laundry have plenty, but the family room, living room, loft, and dining room, it’s just walls and windows.

I was recently asked if I’d like to customize a piece of furniture from Sauder for their new lookbook. I immediately knew that I would focus on shelving and storage. Thankfully one of the items they were including was a square organizer, which I thought would be perfect along one of the walls by our entrance. When I received two of them that was even better.

I like to add a little of my own style throughout the house as much as I can. So, I decided to customize the shelves using wrapping paper and Mod Podge to add design to the center squares.

I envisioned that this space would primarily hold some of my books, which were still in boxes in the garage. I also wanted to add photographs and a few personal items too that I previously had nowhere to display. Items like the wood kookaburra (pictured below) that was hand-carved by my dad.

I still need to find baskets to put into the lower sections to put my books in, but for now, I at least have somewhere to store them. They’ll just gather dog hair until the baskets are in there.

I’m finally pulling frames and knickknacks out of the garage to display.

I absolutely love this space. Now if only I didn’t have to constantly remind others in the house that it is there as they throw dog balls from room to room for the dogs to chase.
