How I Organized My Tights

Hiya guys! I sure do have a bright and colorful post for you today! You know, I would feel like a mega-cheat if I called this a "diy" or a "how-to" because this tights organization is just the easiest thing ever.
I mentioned here that I randomly organized all my tights— I snapped a few pics of it because I thought the rainbow effect was neat (hello, OCD!) but never really planned to share any of them. Then Jen mentioned in the comments that she wanted the lowdown on what I did because (as she so eloquently mentioned) hers are "all tangled together like a bad knitting job."
I used to have all my tights in a drawer. Then a bin. Then hung on one of those tiered hanger things in layers. Nothing seemed to work. Then something clicked.
I realized I've never been able to store things the way other people do. I use a shoe organizer to hold our cleaning supplies in the kitchen. I keep my pencils in an old six-pack carrier. Our coasters are in a cookie jar on the coffee table. My embroidery hoops are in a vintage magazine holder. CREATIVE SOLUTIONS, Y'ALL.
Seriously though, I have realized that you just gotta do whatever works for you. If that means hanging up your socks and tights like a freak and putting shirts in drawers instead, then so be it!
I took all of my tights out and organized them by color (and also by amount of holes in them. . . ). Then I put them in one of those five dollar shoe holders and bingo, bango, bongo! All you need is a door and you are good to go (although technically you could nail this to a wall!).

So there you have it! A little peak into my ways (oh how I'm changing the world!). Do you have any neat storage solutions? I'd love to hear about them! xoxo, jenna

Home Sweet Home: A Little Peek Inside

This past weekend I've essentially had the chance to "test-drive" a camera I might get. It's a huge learning curve for me but I've been enjoying the different challenges so far. I thought it would be fun to share some of the practice shots I took as a little peek into my home. So welcome in— I hope you enjoy the view from my side!

My mom's portrait on a shelf in my studio 
Olive sleeping in the rocking chair 
A few of my landing spots for jewelry / bobby pins / perfume 
A few of my handmade books
A stack of books waiting for me to give them new life 
A jar of googly eyes + others waiting to be filled

So there ya go! The 6 year old point and shoot camera (that I dropped in a toilet once) is on it's last leg. I'm just hoping to upgrade before it totally breaks down on me and I'm up a creek for sure!
