The Winner is: #208 Lorene Halfmann
January is an excellent time to be thinking about organization and it happens every year after Christmas. We all start thinking of ways to declutter and get everything in the house in tip-top shape.
You saw the pretty stencil yesterday and today, I’m going to show you the mostly finished room. The wall really does add a soft and subtle backdrop to the furniture in the space. My sister has been shopping on Craigslist, Home Decorators Collection, and with my new collaboration with Lowes, I was able to spend $100 Lowes card on helping her get this space organized.
Oh, what fun! Just for reference, the wall color is the same SW Comfort Gray that we used in her master bath.
Come along and I’ll show you where we are. We were hoping to get this table and chairs painted, but we didn’t get that finished yet. The table and chairs are a Craigslist find for $100. We are planning to paint it a fun Barcelona Orange color in Annie Sloan Chalkpaint. Won’t that be happy down here?
You can see how big the space is in their basement. Really a nice room to use for this. That’s my black bookcase and chair to the right.
Rug was ordered online.
That’s my brown leather sofa too that she is keeping safe for me. Those mirrored closet doors hold all her stacked Christmas bins neatly away. She has so much great storage at her house.
And she’s keeping my island for me too. Lauren painted that cute fleur-de-lis painting.
Here are the really fun organizing pieces she added. The Martha Stewart piece on the left came from Home Decorator’s Collection and she is going to enjoy using that for her wrapping paper and ribbon. The cute cube storage is what we found at Lowes. It came in a box and we put it all together ourselves. It was a bit like Lucy and Ethel do Tool Time, but we made it through. Those fabric storage drawers are great for hiding the clutter and they came from Lowes as well.
We also found these pretty rattan baskets at Lowes and they are another great option for hiding the clutter. Pretty and functional, you gotta love that! Check out Lowes Creative Ideas website for lots of great ideas.
She’s going to really have fun with all this organization at her fingertips.
She also found that pretty bookcase on Craigslist for $75. That’s a deal, I love it.
So, are you doing some organization yourself this month? Did you feel the unmistakable pull of de-cluttering like everyone does this month? It seems that the first of the year is the optimal time to start the year off right and start putting “stuff” in its place.

{I am partnered with Lowes Creative Ideas blog team to do DIY projects and share them on my blog. I was given a $100 giftcard to purchase products from Lowes.}
Oh boy, could I use that giftcard! 🙂 We’re putting our house up for sale in the spring and that would be GREAT for all the last minute things that need to be done in the house!
Thanks for the chance to win!
I would definitely use it for a closet organizer.
We just moved into our first house so there is a lot we need! I *think* I’d love to put it towards a rug for our living room 🙂

Love Lowes and there are tons of things there on my wish list. Would put the card towards a new Front Porch Light I’ve had my eyes on!
Wow, could I ever use a gift card! We have been trying to remodel our master bath. Nothing elaborate, just painting and new counter top. I do need new light fixtures for both mine and my husbands vanity area. Love your blog, and you are such an inspiration. Thanks for including me in your drawing.
Oh, I don’t know anyone who wouldn’t love $100 to spend to help get organized. I know I sure would.
I am going to de-clutter the coat closet! Baskets & paint from Lowes would really help!
The room looks great! I think I would love to get some of their closet/storage pieces. And yes, I am in the cleaning/organizing mode as well! Thanks Rhoda!
I would love to buy shelving for my mom cave/craft room and a couple of lamps. Lowes has an awesome lamp selection! Thanks for the chance to win. Have a blessed day!
I have an electrical problem in my light fixture in my bathroom. One of the bulbs blows out constantly (and by constantly I mean within two days) so I would be thrilled to replace that fixture.
Hand sander so I can get some projects done. 🙂 Thanks Lowe’s & Rhoda!
Following Lowe’s on FB too.
I’d like to get a nice big red umbrella for the patio table. Wouldn’t that just shout happy times!
I would definitely buy some of those pretty baskets!
I would definitely get some shelving and perhaps some of those great baskets for organizing my basement. Love the craft room so far!
Let’s see, what could I do with a $100 Lowe’s Card? I need all sorts of organizing stuff, those baskets look great, for one thing. I spent more money at Lowes than anywhere. I am gradually replacing all my light switches with lighted ones so there will be fewer fingerprints on the wall trying to find the light switch. I also love to pick up house plants and garden things at Lowes. What fun!
I would buy some cubes and cute baskets….I love the idea of using a bar height table and chairs in the craft room….
We are going to finish our playroom this year so $100 would help buy some insulation for the room. Lowes is one of my favorite stores!! Thanks for the chance!!
My husband and I are hoping to close on our first home soon. This gift card would definitely come in handy with all the things we would like to purchase; rugs, blinds, shutters, etc! You have the best give aways!
I’d love to buy a gorgeous rug like your sisters. Do they carry that at Lowes? Love it!
