About Me

Ohio
I am a twenty-something newlywed looking to add order and purpose to our new life and post-wedding home. Join me as I attempt to work my way through organizing, cooking, decorating and DIYing. I am in no way an expert, or even experienced, at any of these things but I am determined to give it all a try and hoping someone out there can read it and either be amused/comforted by my shortcomings or give me some tips for the future.

Welcome home, gift wrap!

Our home is overloaded with gift bags, tissue paper, bows and wrapping paper since the wedding.  I did some research on the web and found some beautiful "gift wrap stations" which I would love to have.  However, I do not have the space for that in our cozy apartment.  We do have an enormous basement that is not pretty finished, but is perfect for storage.  So I took an existing shelf and turned it into our own gift wrap organizational center.  It didn't take much: a few nails, hangers, and lots of time sorting and folding tissue paper.

Here is where we started


Bags sorted by size and occasion
Pants hanger holding tissue paper

bows and ribbon

So there you have it.  It's not ideal, it's not gorgeous, but it is organized and handy.  We finally have a place for all of our gift wrap.
