Lots of rain and wind here this weekend and a crazy outage where the main fiber optic cable
that serves the area was damaged and cut in half during one of the storms.
No cellphones.
No internet.
Very few landlines that worked.
It was kind of insane but with no internet and blogging for a bit
I had some extra time to delve into some magazines and books for inspirations
for upcoming projects as well as work on getting some organizing done.
(apologies for the dark rainy day photos!)
I have been in organizing and de-clutter mode lately
Sorting through closets & making separate piles for
donations, for selling and for keeping.
One of the areas that needed some organization is the office.
I store a lot of project stuff & treasures in that room
Bolts of fabric, sewing supplies, paints, hardware for around the house, various treasures,etc.
Bolts of fabric, sewing supplies, paints, hardware for around the house, various treasures,etc.
One of my favorite places for storage is inside antique armoires.
I love the muted original old chalky color, details, and size of this one.
Since this armoire was originally intended for clothing~
we put several shelves inside the large 2 door area to be able to use it for storage
and went to my favorite hardware store 🙂 Lowes to find the perfect storage containers
to put all the random bits and pieces in.
There are so many fantastic closet and organizing ideas at Lowes in their closet section-
Shelving units, baskets, drawers on rollers, etc.
I wanted something fun, something vintage inspired-ish, something that would
be easy to get into and find what I was looking for…
Yes…it’s true…
I have a thing for galvanized bins and buckets.
I have a thing for galvanized bins and buckets.
They are charming and practical at the same time especially for hardware and crafts
so I was super excited to find a section of galvanized buckets and bins in various sizes.
so I was super excited to find a section of galvanized buckets and bins in various sizes.
I picked up several of these 12 quart sized buckets first- they are fantastic and just $6.57 each.
I loved that they had nice sized handles on them
which makes it easy to pick them up and take them
(and all the stuff you need for your project)
(and all the stuff you need for your project)
with you to wherever you are working.
I added a couple of chalk painted tags for labeling them –
super easy to find just what I need now
I also picked up 2 of these oval 5.5 gallon sized bins ($13.58 each)
I love the longer length for storing some of those bigger items.
and they fit perfectly on the shelves.

Then I found my favorite bin…
& I knew what it would be used for…
or so I thought 😉
or so I thought 😉
I have several bolts and large folded pieces of fabric that I like to keep out for
inspiration or for easy access for a quick project.
This huge tub is perfect for stacking and storing the fabric in
and makes it easy to find what I am looking for.
This huge tub is perfect for stacking and storing the fabric in
and makes it easy to find what I am looking for.
But,
it’s also a perfect size to use for laundry and sorting clothes-
which I am loving the idea of using it for.
Add a name tag for each person and voila– a heavy duty laundry basket!
It would also be great for storing wood for the fire or to use as a party tub for cold drinks on occasion.
I loved the price at Lowes too- $18.98
I’ve seen this same brand and size bin at other hardware stores for twice that.
The other thing I did to organize my armoire involved a little cork board.
Remember those cork squares that I used with my Thanksgiving table?
Remember those cork squares that I used with my Thanksgiving table?
Using that same style cork, I lined the inside of one of the armoire doors
It’s perfect for storing inspirations & magazine clippings
and keeping it clutter free when the door is closed.

Ya know what, Courtney? I was working in my studio the other day, and after my gaze kept landing on my double bookshelf unit in there loaded with books….that are mainly there just hanging out and not being used (because I'm too busy with projects or blogging!), and I decided that what I really wanted in there was an armoire to store stuff in. And here you are with your gorgeous armoire full of yummy galvanized goodness! JUST what the Fashion Doctor ordered! lol!
Thanks for this wonderful giveaway! I was just at Lowe's the other day picking up some Edison lightbulbs and a brad gun (yay!) and obviously didn't spend enough time there because I missed those awesome buckets!
Keeping my fingers crossed! 🙂

I adore galvanized and have three of those Behren's buckets on our stairs, one for each boy and one for me, to plunk our stuff in until we make a trip up.

I love Lowes. I could buy a lot of drop clothes with $100.
I like Lowes Creative Ideas on FB…
I follow your blog via e-mail. And I'd put the gift card to almost immediate use! We're trying to buy a house that will need virtually every surface re-done, so the gift card would be most useful. I think, though, that I'd like to use it for something that I might not get otherwise, such as a lovely light fixture! (I'm not sure if this already posted…new Google privacy policies must be read and I'm not sure if my post came through amid all that…)
Avid follower of you and love Lowe's. So many projects so little time…think I would buy more lumber to make some shelves! Thanks for the opportunity!!!
Yay! I like you on GFC!
I already like Lowe's creative ideas…!! Oh–I LOVE those galvanized bins! I was lucky enough to pick them up for less than $2 each at an antiques shop!!! Woohoo!
