This dresser came from my Great Grandma and the color is perfect so I’m a little hesitant to try to refinish it even though I destroyed it when I had it in my room growing up..

Like a lot of old houses, we don’t have a linen closet so I definitely need somewhere to put my collection of plaid blankets and other various forms of blanketry.I have a few here and a few in a giant basket.

I’m also pretty fond of beach towels, and we always seem to go through them so quickly in the summer, so I think I’ll probably need this whole cupboard for them soon.But it works for now, even if it’s pretty jammed-full in there.. Clear glass vases of different shapes and sizes are always handy to have around so I keep those in this cupboard.. … And then I have this cupboard for my milk glass and my blue and white stuff.You can see that some of my vases are currently in-use and that’s why there are some gaps in there.

This cupboard is right directly across from the bathroom door and it holds all the extra medicines, vitamins, and toiletry type stuff.You can see that it’s not particularly full and that’s because we have.

so much storage in the bathroom itself.

now, but I still really like having this extra space out here.There’s a real life going on there.

There’s a story..The story here is the power of 15 minutes.

Or sometimes 5 minutes.. About a week ago, I stopped trying and hoping to find big chunks of time to be a real serious DIYer and started just grabbing a brush and a yogurt container full of paint for just a few minutes every day, or every second day.It’s part of my whole finding balance thing and not letting one thing totally take over my time.
