the 3 r's.

is a magazine after my own heart.
They offer ideas for simplifying your life
while making your home stylish at the same time.
Here are a few of my favorite REAL SIMPLE ideas
giving new use to old things.
Isn't that what the 3 R's are all about?
{Reduce, Re-Use, Recycle}.


A dish rack used to hold art supplies.
{I'm going to start using this today. We have
loads of coloring books and markers I can organize
with this fabulous idea!}.


Use your empty Christmas wrapping paper tubes
to roll up and store your fabric.
Isn't this great for urban living? A major space
saver and amazing organizing idea.
Perfect for getting my sewing room in order.


Reign in your unruly {and unsightly} electrical cords
using an old toilet paper tube.
So clever.

  1. Definitely a Real Simple fan! The art station/dish dryer is pretty creative. (I even have one sitting in the garage from our Boston/no dishwasher days.)

  2. My mom was using TP and paper towel tubes 25 years ago for storing extension cords. She even covered them in pretty, adhesive contact paper!
