Organizing is about making room for what is important in your life and finding the time and space to live out your values. It shouldn’t have to cost you a lot of money, because the focus is on paring down what you own, not adding to the clutter by buying additional containers and devices. So [...]

Now I know you have all seen the baskets-on-the-wall-used-to-store-towels idea. BUT have you seen round baskets used that look just like 3-D chrysanthemum flowers, matching the flowers in the shower curtain? I hadn’t either. Genius.

Actually, the title of this post is a bit misleading. I’m not quite sure how Organelle managed to make these fabulous chandeliers out of clothes hangers and bicycle rims. Maybe you are the kind of person who can figure it out merely by studying the photos. Organelle is a design studio based out of Vancouver, B.C. The [...]

Have you been longing for some new throw pillows, curtains, maybe a duvet cover, but don’t have the money to buy them or a sewing machine to make your own? Then you are in luck! The craft geniuses behind my favorite fabric store Bolt (2136 NE Alberta) have opened Modern Domestic, an indoor crafting space [...]
