Organizing My Son's Room

I finally got to organized my son's bedroom.  We got him a laptop for Christmas and a desk and chair for his upcoming birthday.  I was going to wait  till his birthday to  give him the  desk and chair but decided  to give it early on so I could arrange his room  before he goes back to school.  So last Thursday, I finally did it.  

We got this desk at TJMaxx.  It's a simple chair but he loves it.

 I gave him this  Coby  digital photo keeper.  It has an alarm clock which he uses during school days.   This was a gift I bought for a friend's  child but  was returned  to me when I failed to show up in the party.  Oh well,  it works out well for us.  

 I got him this study lamp from Shoplet.  I t has a seven-step, touch dimming function that includes warm or cool light settings so you control how to shed the light in your space. The 550 lumen lamp is made of ABS plastic and aluminum.  See how you can turn the  light whatever angle you want it to?  It's really a  great light to have in your  study table or work table.  I love how technology  keeps progressing these days.  Products are getting so versatile that it meets the function that we need.  I also love the fact that the cord isn't  attached to the lamp itself.  It makes it easier to  put away.  The fact that you can fold the lamp is also a space saver when you want to put it away.  

 I bought these letters when we were still at the old house but never got to use it.  Now I finally got to hang it on his room.  I also put a succulent plant in his table for some fresh element.

 This is the laptop that we got him.  It is an Acer but I love the features.  I actually borrowed it from him a couple of times so I can do my blogging stuff while I am in bed lol.  I like that it is wifi-ready.

 It's funny because my daughter  has been using his desk to do her art stuff.

 My husband inherited this  bedroom set from one of his Aunt so when we  bought our home, my FIL told  my husband to take  it  for the kids.

 I told my kids how lucky they are to have their own room with closet and stuff.  I grew up with 8 siblings so we shared one big room.

 He is always losing his ties and belts so I hang all of them on the wall so he doesn't have an excuse to lose them ever again.  We will see how  this works.

 I also hang some of his hats.

 And his memorabilia (compass and  medal).

 This was a certificate given to him by the Navy when he was born.  My husband worked at Pittsburgh processing center and his boss presented him this when our son was born.  I thought it was pretty neat.  

 This was given to him  by a family friend during his  first holy communion.

 Of our two children, our son is the sentimental one.  He love  things that have history and sentimental value.  This old clock was a project my husband did when he was in  6th grade and  it still runs like it's new.  My FIL told my husband to take it when we were moving.

 This is the  gift that his sister made for him so we hang =ed it on the wall as well.

I bought this rug for my office but  it's very small so I just put it in my son's room.

 

I am so glad that I was able to organized his room before they go back to school.  Now he have a desk to put all of his  school books and things.  

Shoe Racks, Multi-Purpose Hook Rack and more #DIYprojects

I asked my husband  to build me a shoe  rack in one of our closets so we went to  the hardware store to get the  ,materials we needed.  Then he  suggested that it would be faster if we can just buy those ready-made  shoe rack kits and just put it together and we are good to go.  It would cost more if we buy the materials and build it anyway so I gave it a go.  I found some awesome kits  at Kmart and bought three while it was on sale.

Our 11-year old love  to work on projects.  She put together two of the shoe rack kit that we  bought by herself.  She was very proud and I was very impressed and  proud of her  as well.  Now our shoes are more organized and  it's not everywhere or piled up.  

I bought one more of these shoe racks today so now all shoes are in one closet . I am proud of my little girl, @ryestein_ for assembling it by herself, great job kiddo! #storageSolution #organizing #shoeRack

I love this multi-purpose hook rack  that I got  from Cavetools. You can hang this on your deck, by your grill, or at your work bench.   This would also be best  in bathroom and even in your foyer to hang coats in.   Since it is made of super durable stainless steel, it will stands the test of time both indoors or outdoors.

  It is heavy duty and I love that it comes with a screwdriver for easy mounting wall installation.  This is now my husband's favorite screwdriver.  He used it too when he put together the desk that we gave our son for Christmas. 

 I originally got this for my husband as he was working on  putting some shelf on the garage at the time I ordered this but when I gave it to him, he said it is too pretty to be in the garage.  I thought of using it in our kitchen to hang my  heavy BBQ tools but I have no place to  best  mount it so I decided to use it on our  shoe closet.   I hanged  my son's favorite hats there for now. 

If you are interested to buy one of these stainless steel heavy duty multi-purpose five hook, please use this coupon code HOOKRACK15 to enjoy a 15% off via   amazon  via amazon.  I am going to use the coupon code too as I am planning to buy one more for my son's room.  He need  a hook like this for his belt and  school uniform ties.

Tip:  To keep your shoe closet smelling fresh, use some type of shoe deodorizer.  I use Aurorae's foot and shoe deodorizer, it's an all natural mist spray that is made with pure essential oils.  It smells good there all the time that's why I  am confident of hanging my son's hat by the shoes.
