Great recycling spot. What do you think Katie? This may not be in your living space, but elsewhere in the hangar??

Katie Clemons we've got these huge plastic bins for recycling in the hangar. They work, but it's not exactly attractive. So I'm taking note here – thanks!

Great kitchen cabinet! Look how much is stored in there!!!

A surplus purchase from the builders of the Denver International Airport combined with some yacht building techniques created this inexpensive vanity and sink. Very cool and so beautiful!

I love the idea of making a small bathroom feel less cramped by using the glass (although not so fun to clean if you have hard water).

Juliette this is adorable. I was just thinking about seeing if you were into wallpaper, even on a board so you can move it around. I think wallpaper is such a fun idea!! (and affordable in small spaces!)

Keeping track of paint colors in your house! Use stir sticks to recall your paint colors.  Write paint name and number on end of stick, along with what you painted. Bundle with sticks with twine.

Jane @ The Borrowed Abode Oh my gosh, what a great idea!

Picture of julietter

Juliette but would they dry well? or cause mildew? (this from a person in rainy Germany, ha!)

Picture of makingthishome

Katie Clemons good point, Juliette. The air is crazy dry here, but tucking away wet things is always a great opportunity for mold no matter where you are. DRATS for this idea. :(

Picture of entegans

Amy E my parents have something similar and have no issues, they usually just leave the door open or leave it extended. Since they're only done with the towels when they're ready to leave the kitchen, then it doesn't get in their way to leave it extended. i don't remember them ever having issues.

Picture of makingthishome

Katie Clemons Oh that's interesting, Amy. It really just boils down to our own personal habits and environment, then.
