DIY Mirrored Dresser Makeover

13 Comments

Storage is a big issue in our small home. When I starting thinking about this post and the reason why things change a lot around here, I wanted to research what actually constitutes a “small home”. The opinion varies. Some people say 200-400 square feet, while others say anything under 1000 square feet. I love how Tiny House Giant Journey put it: “We believe it’s as small as you’re willing to go to obtain financial freedom with a small home footprint.” Our home is over 1000 square feet, but well under 2000 square feet and the rooms are small.

DIY Cubby Shelves

I have fallen in love with so many cubby shelves over the years. The ones that I love most are usually chippy, painted different colors and have signs of age, wear and years of use. #justmystyle Cubby shelves are great for so many reasons: They provide great storage. They look fabulous. They keep things organized. They can be decorated and redecorated over and over again! 😉 Not only have I seen cubby shelves at barn sales, but many of my favorite stores (Pottery Barn, Restoration Hardware, etc.) have some beautiful cubby shelves. I wish their price tags were just as beautiful. They’re not…. Read More
