At No. 29 Design, the homeowners have been working on getting their pantry organized. When they needed some large bins for extra storage, they realized that the diaper boxes they were about to recycle were the perfect size.

When Taryn at Design, Dining + Diapers redesigned her family room recently, she had a limited budget but knew she needed a lot of storage. Aiming for something with a rustic look, she figured out how to make this gorgeous storage system from reclaimed wood.

Sarah, who blogs at The Winthrop Chronicles, recently finished a kitchen makeover that included painting her cabinets white. Surrounded by all those white cabinets, she decided that it was time to give a forgotten storage cabinet a makeover, too, so that it could claim a spot in the kitchen, too.

At the Oh Oh Blog, Ama says that she needed an inexpensive way to add some off-the-floor storage to her playroom. She had a great idea for making cute wall shelves by upcycling plastic paint buckets.

Jess, also known as Daydream Mom, bought a four pack of Starbuck’s Frappuccinos one day and thought “Hey, this caddy could be used for something!” She upcycled the glass bottles and cardboard carrying case into a handy craft caddy.

This project, from Laura at House of Joyful Noise, started out with two things: a pile of shoes and some old doors. Laura’s busy family needed a place to corral the many pairs of shoes that were getting left beside the door. She and her husband came up with the brilliant idea to use old doors to make a storage box that is both useful and beautiful.

Susan came across this empty box on the shelves at her local grocery store. She felt a little silly admitting it, but there was something about the size and shape that really appealed to her, so she brought it home along with her groceries and set about finding a good use for it. It took Susan–who blogs at Organized 31–a few months, but she finally realized that it could be used for holding CD’s and DVD’s.

Meredith & Gwyneth, the New Yorkie, is a blog about the adventures of a thrify gal and her cute dog in the big city. One of Yorkie Gwyneth’s talents is finding great trash for her owner, Meredith, to bring home for makeovers. Take this little old bar cart, for instance, that the pair discovered alongside a dumpster while they were out on one of their walks.
