There's no need to wait until the weekend to do everything at once.

This kitchen was a little too honey colored for the homeowners, but working within a small budget, something had to change without too much expense. A little creativity, gold paint and some fabric later and the results are fabulous — all for $300!The fine folks over at One Project Closer have been busy renovating their kitchen. Their cabinet color was the easiest thing to change without having a high overhead. They set to work painting the edges which were then covered with white paint.

There’s no secret when it comes to our love for Legos in the kitchen. Yes the majority of us are total nerds (we admit that), but there’s a certain something about making something out of nothing. We ran across a cool kitchen collection of handmade Lego goods and just had to share.We first ran across these super cool Lego kitchen crafts from Lenore over at Flickr, where we followed the internet trail over to Evil Mad Scientist.

Although flowers are quite lovely and in abundance this time of year, some of us still might not have easy access to them. If you’re without a garden and don’t live in a big city, you can be stuck with what’s sold at your local grocer. And unless you’re into carnations, supply can be limited. Instead, try out one of these non-flower-based centerpiece ideas that you might already have in your kitchen! 1.

For the first time in several decades I’ve found myself living without a chest freezer. After the shock that I couldn’t store enough ground beef to feed a small army in case of a zombie apocalypse, I adjusted and started to store only the essentials. The hard part? My freezer is the size of a postage stamp. Here are a few tricks I’ve learned along the way.

“Honey can you hand me the bottle of window cleaner? It’s right behind the bottle of stainless steel stuff but in front of the wood polish and next to the doggy carpet spray.” Sound familiar? Having the right tools for the job is a good thing, but what happens when you have too many? Clutter! (Insert dramatic music here.) How many cleansers do you really need? Which ones are essential? What’s the bottle with the smeared label way in the back?

When is a junk drawer not a junk drawer anymore? Is a completely organized drawer full of utility items simply not allowed to be called a junk drawer? Ladies and gentlemen, this is what we all should aspire too! I present to you: the non-junk-junk-drawer. Junk drawers are top of mind, especially after yesterday’s examples of five things that don’t belong in the junk drawer I discovered this drawer while I was house-sitting for a friend.

Including the best way to store clean (and dirty!) towels, brilliant ideas for hanging spray bottles, a hack for stashing trash bags, and more.

For those with four-legged furry friends running around their home, there seems to be a unanimous problem — where do you put the pet bowls?! It seems like the answer should be easy: the floor, duh. But in reality, finding a bowl that looks attractive enough to sit out, plus learning not to kick it over during your daily routine, is a challenge.Before you can tackle the placement of your pet’s food and water dishes, you must first decide what’s best for them.
