Top 5 uses for Fridge Coaster {besides the fridge}

We all LOVE Fridge Coasters in the fridge to absorb to messy drips and spills but did you know there are many other places in your home where they are incredibly useful?  Check out our top 5 list.

Fridge Coasters are great under laundry detergent to catch those drips and spills.

We all know it can get pretty nasty underneath the kitchen sink.  Save yourself some scrubbing time by using Fridge Coasters to protect your cabinets.  

Have trouble keeping things standing up in your pantry?  Problem solved.  Fridge Coasters provide a sturdy surface so your groceries stay put.  No more soup cans tipping over here.

Meal prepping?  Fridge Coasters give you a flat, stable surface to freeze soups and stews.  No more Ziplock bags drooping through the wire shelves.  

I don't know about you but my make up drawer gets a little messy.  I love having Fridge Coasters in there for two reasons. 1. If something leaks my clean up is a breeze. 2. LOVE the pop of color and fun it adds.  Makes getting ready in the morning just a little bit better.  

They're awesome in the linen closet too.  When freshly folded towels and sheets go in, you can rest assured they won't come out with lines from the wire racks imprinted in them.  Makes life just a little bit neater.

how do you accessorize {your fridge}

This may sound silly but having a clean, well organized refrigerator may actually help you eat healthier.   Categorizing and containing healthy snacks front and center, in an appealing way, will automatically have you reaching for those blueberries or raspberries instead of the potato chips in the pantry.  It's a well documented fact that you eat with your eyes first so why not add some of these adorable accessories to keep you on track.

an organized {laundry room}

We're a little behind on the ABFOL 14 week organizing challenge but I promise this before and after will not disappoint.  Our laundry room was an absolute disaster.  I kept the door shut tight as often as possible and the chore of laundry was made even more painful by the cluttered mess that was our laundry room.  We knocked this out in a weekend during "nap time and night time".  And when I say "we", I mean I supervised while Ben turned my design into reality.  I say it over and over again but we really are a great team because without him all these creative ideas would just be floating around in my head not getting executed.  I'm pretty embarrassed to show the "before" but here it goes......

BEFORE

Our laundry room is a pretty narrow space.  If feels crowded if there is more than one person in there but the storage "bones" were already in place; just not being utilized well at all.

 AFTER

What?!?!? Is this the same space? 

My jumping off point for this space was the fabric I found for the roll up shades on the window, I'll post a DIY on that later.

The wall across from the washer and dryer was a blank slate.  We painted 5 inch wide stripes and below that we added a 4ft X 8ft sheet of bead board.  Just because it's a laundry room doesn't mean it has to be boring, right?

3 hooks on the wall for extra storage.  As it gets cooler I see winter coats hanging here.  Its also an extra space to "line dry" things that don't need to be laid flat.

We added another shelf right above the washer and dryer for easy access to detergent and bleach

Another place where I couldn't live without my Fridge Coasters.  Sorry, shameless plug, but its better than scrubbing that sticky mess the detergent drips leave behind.

Clothes pins right at my finger tips.  Stored in a thrift store find margarita glass.

We threw away a lot of miscellaneous, random items that somehow made their way into the laundry room cabinets to collect dust.  Everything we kept has its own space and is visible without having to dig for it.

Ta-da! Hope you like the results as much as we do!

an organized {office}

Well, week 4 of the 14 week organizing challenge is your home office space.  Our home office is in our bonus room which we share with our boys playroom.  This project is such an undertaking that we are waiting to do the big reveal for week 11, the bonus room.  There is just no way we could complete a complete office overhaul in just a week.

With that being said, I didn't want to leave y'all hanging.  I'm sharing my sisters super cute organized office that she just finished.

Hanging file wire storage baskets from Homegoods, she picked up a couple for me too :)
