My Bag Storage Make-over


Like any girl, I am sure you are at a dilemma on how to store you bags properly. In the "Dream" world, our closets would look like this...

But alas,  most of us have to deal with wire shelving and a mess like this... or like mine rather...

AAAAAAHHHH!!!

Fortunately, I was able to come up with a way to fix the mess above, and came up with this...


Order at last!


I placed old throw pillows and sheets inside the bags to let it stand upright. Then I added these...


New purpose for an old staple..

Hence the bags at the back end are clearly seen. Underneath those bags at the back, this is what you'll find...


Formal Clutch

My new Fave -  Aranaz Clutch

Another way I sorted things out was I placed some bags within a bag, like this...


More storage

For the other side of MY closet, I placed my travel bags and boxed some of the bags I don't use for the season (e.g. summer bags, straw bags, etc.)


Travel bags

Other bags not used

Of course, since I share the closet with my hubby, I can't very well fix my end without fixing his end?! That is, the top part at least... :-)

 BEFORE

Take note we even have a Be be gun atop!
I don't know where everything is

AFTER
Seasonal Clothing all tucked away
I used MUJI storage bags I bought from the Philippines

Better I think...


Now, if I can only fix the rest of it... :-)


HAPPY ORGANIZING EVERYONE!!!!

Kids Bookcase find


I have been admiring this for a while now....


Very nice, can go with everything


It's from "The Land of Nod" and the price is little steep - $279 (without shipping and taxes)! 

Fortunately, we bumped into this at our local TARGET store...

Target Home 6 Cube Horizontal Organizer.Opens in a new window
Pretty close..
And the price?! $79.99!!!!!

It's not sitting in my kids room, it now sits in Hubby's office. I will show some pics once we tweak the space a little bit more. I think this is a very versatile piece, can be used for multiple purposes including console table, book case, storage, etc!



HAVE A NICE DAY!

Good and BIG news!

Ooops! We did it again! :-)


Yup, you've read it right, I AM GONNA BE A MOMMA AGAIN!!!


Woopeedo! Hallelujia! Congratulations to us!

We are very excited with this upcoming change in our lives. Although I must be honest, a little hesitancy and fear is lingering in the background. With a full time career and two active boys, I don't know if I am still capable of Doing and being everything for a new child!

However, after I do saw this...

6 weeks strong

HR = 116 bpm



Most of my fears vanished and I was just filled with complete joy and excitement!

Everyone who knows me KNOWS, that I am one heck of a do-er, so I know with this love in my heart and with my partner with me on helms, things will go smoothly for this new little one coming into our lives!

WE LOVE YOU BABY I CAN'T WAIT TO BEGIN THIS NEW CHAPTER WITH YOU!!!!
