Great ideas! I love the tin can art supply storage. I could probably figure it out by myself but the HGTV link seems to be dead :( It brings me to the picture but once I click on the ‘click here for project details’ link it is nowhere to be found.

Hi I was just wondering where you can locate those awesome pant hangers for the ribbon rolls. Love the wonderful idea!!!!!!!!!

Candice commented on Nov 04 11 at 6:20 pm

Love the ribbon hanger organizer. Can you tell me where you found the pants hanger you used? thanks.

Barbara commented on Jan 08 12 at 8:31 pm

I bought a pants hanger like that from Bed Bath and Beyond. Bring your coup!

Where can I find a wire hamper to put the stuffed animals? Love this idea. Having a hard time finding something similar.

Awesome ideas! I already use a couple of them: I use mason jars in the bathrooms to hold cottonballs and qtips and such; and I use magnetic knife strips in the garage to hold my paint brushes, and in the office to keep various supplies. But I am so gonna use that rail system for plastic bins…that is genious! Love the cutlery trays for jewelry, and the pants hanger for ribbon.

The car organizer/knife magnet is a great idea, except most hot wheels are all plastic now. Dang!
