{Giveaway is Closed}
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.
If you are ready to organize and declutter, now’s a great time for YOU to get in on the fun too. Lowes is offering a $100 giftcard for one of you to spend at your local Lowes store. You can grab whatever your heart desires!

This may be a stupid question but how did you get that link there, I tweeted it too but can’t figure out how to post it there it only links it to my twitter page??
Oh My gosh !! The list is endless ! I would start with paint, but I also need new flooring, and how about a new vanity for my bathroom, where I will also need new mirrors, shower curtains, tile for the floor. and then on to the other bathroom,……you see what I mean !!
I don’t know how to twitter, but I did ‘like’ Lowe’s on their Facebook page !! Thanks for the chance to win….
My husband thinks I’m weird because Lowe’s is my favorite store…. ha. With a $100 gift card I would be buying paint for our kitchen and organizers for our cabinets.

What a cheerful craft space your lucky sister has, and it will certainly be even more so when the table is painted orange! I’m a new subscriber, a soon to be new blogger and a not so new home enthusiast. The gift card would certainly come in super handy for lots of projects I have in mind…maybe some pull out shelves for a pantry re-do?! Love your blog!
Hi Rhoda! Oh Lowe’s, I so love them! I definately would love a $100 dollar gift card! It would allow me to repaint and re-decorate my small kitchen. I have been struggling with what I would do because I feel so limited in my color choice, however, I am sure you could give me some suggestions and I could follow thru with the transformation. I hope I win I would love to share how I spend the Gift Card with everyone. Thanks for the chance!!
I would shop for a light fixture to put above my husband’s desk in his office. I love Lowes…Thanks for the chance!
I would buy paint.. I seem to have an addiction to making my own chalk paint and painting every piece of furniture in the house
Thanks for a great give away… I love Lowes..I would get
some storage bins and shelves.
I’d love to get some wood for shutters. We also need to paint… Thanks for this giveaway.
Paint! We are on the verge of a paint-a-palooza. We’re ready to lighten up a bit and $100 at our favorite DIY store would start us on our makeover.
Thanks for the opportunity.
I would buy materials to redo my laundry room and put in shelves and a cabinet – right now I can’t stand the way all the wire shelving looks in there (inherited from previous owner) but I’m scared to tackle it!
Oh, I’d be buying organizational storage for our disaster of a playroom! It’s amazing my daughter doesn’t get lost in all the clutter… 🙂
Thanks Rhoda!

I love the Martha Stewart wrapping piece! The room looks great! I think it is wonderful that you and your sister are so close. My sister lives 1 mile from me and we are more like best friends:) Thanks to you I will be painting my wood paneling so I would use the Lowes gift card for paint!
If I had a $100 to spend at Lowes I would use it to buy supplies to frame my bathroom mirror and know off a few other items on my bathroom wish list.

I wouldn’t know where to start if I won! My husband and I have been fixing up a foreclosure and we’re in the homes stretch, praise Jesus! We still need some bathroom mirrors and a few lighting fixtures.
I would buy a new light to go over our island. One day it just came crashing down and broke we don’t know why. Many thanks to you and lowe’s. I love the redo and can’t wait to see the table painted too. As always you made it look great!
I would use it towards the purchase of a new dishwasher. The one we have now is being used as a storage cabinet since it no longer works.
