Hi Melaine – “organization” is one of those things that I long for but don’t seem to ever achieve. I thinks that’s why I love venturing into those organizing type stores. sigh! Maybe one day. I just blogged on one of the organization tips I have used for years and it has helped me in certain areas of my home. It’s using those hanging shoe organizers w/ pockets in various ways. You might find it handy, too. Good luck with the organizing, I’m going back to the head banging now. 🙂
I have just enjoyed spending the last hour, or so, looking at your blog. Your home is beautiful and your inspiration pictures are delightful! I have a question for you. I read on one of your posts that you de-silvered some mirrors for a craft project. I tried this for my daughter’s wedding, but didn’t have any success. I was wondering if you would please share with me the process you used.
If you would email me I’d REALLY appreciate it! Thanks so much.

Thanks again!
