This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® & Creative Options, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #Storagewithstyle http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV

You all know I love food. And one of my more recent passions has become sharing food recipes and photos through the blog. As I started getting more involved with food photography, I began to accumulate so many props and different supplies to use in my photos. I have been searching for different options for organizing my photography supplies and I wanted to share with you one of my current favorites!

there were too many glasses on the counter.

Kids Room Stuffed Animal Organization

June 3, 2015 By Ginger Bergemann Leave a Comment

Hey y’all! It’s Ginger from Gingerly Made again. Last month I posted how I was organizing my kid’s room beginning with a knob hanger for bathrobes or pajamas or whatever other piece of wearable clothing that usually gets tossed on the floor. This month I am going to show you my stuffed animal organization to get them off the floor. It’s another fantastically simple project that has already transformed the tidiness of our kids room.

Our kid’s room is one of the most difficult to photograph rooms in our house, so please excuse the lighting in these photos.

To begin with, you need a couple of metal horse trough style flower boxes. You can find these at most hardware stores or garden centers. This is a pic from Home Depot’s site where I got mine from. This one is 24 inches wide. They also have some that are 36 inches wide if you have a lot of stuffies or really large stuffed animals.

Chalkboard Menu {Guest Post}

August 5, 2014 By Shannah Coe 5 Comments

I am so excited about today’s post! You see, Sarah {from Little Red Brick House} and I have something major in common: a love for chalkboard paint. Combine that with a love of staying organized and menu planning and we might as well be sisters. She is sharing her awesome chalkboard menu here today.

********************************************

I’m so, so excited to be guest posting here today on Just Us Four! Thank you so much, Shannah, for having me! My name is Sarah and I blog over at Little Red Brick House about all things creative, with an emphasis on DIY and home decor.

I have a small obsession with chalk boards. I mean, there’s one on my Wall Organizer in the front entry, one as a Calendar/Memo Board in my dining room/schoolroom (we homeschool) and now one in my kitchen! I would probably paint everything in chalkboard paint if my husband would let me. 😉

I like to plan my meals for the week ahead and I got tired of searching for my meal planning notebook every time I needed to know what was for dinner. Not to mention, an old spiral notebook isn’t very inspiring! I decided to make a chalkboard menu for the wall so I could just glance over at it when needed. It was such a simple project but it’s been super functional for me and I’m loving it so much!

Easy Dinner Strategies – Tips to Get Dinner on the Table

February 17, 2014 By Shannah Coe 5 Comments

One of our goals for 2014 was to save more money. Part of that comes with making changes to our lifestyle so that we have more extra money hanging around to actually save. One of our ways to to do that: eating dinner at home. We’d recently fallen into a routine where we ate out pretty much every meal from Friday through Sunday. Our new plan was to limit that to one dinner and one lunch per week. That meant I needed a plan to get dinner on the table even on our busiest nights. Want to know how I do it?

Hi everyone! I’m Consie and I blog over at Atop Serenity Hill about face and body painting, cake decorating, photography and anything else that comes along on my creative journey. I am excited to be here today (thanks, Shannah!) to share my Foamcore Chalkboard with you!
I’m a fairly new blogger and staying organized with posts and ideas is a huge goal! I’m also slightly obsessed with my stats. So I decided to make a chalkboard for my craft space that would help me keep track of all those things and be a huge, physical reminder to keep up with my daily blog goals.

H’s Room Update: Upcycled Paper Tray

July 22, 2013 By Shannah 17 Comments

Surgery put the brakes on changing H’s room to a bigger girl room but we are slowly moving forward. While I was resting comfortably with my pain meds and my knee propped up, painters came and changed her room from pink to a gorgeous citron green {selected by H herself}. Then, once I could move around a little bit, I took on a smaller project and upcycled a paper tray.
