10 Tips on Making a Mini Makeshift Mudroom

When I used dryer sheets, I would cut them in half! To save time I just cut a lot of them at one time (as opposed to trying to find the scissors every time I wanted to do a load...) I reused the dryer sheets too, and even though my clothes never smelled like the dryer sheets, they were nice and soft.

I could see using it as a little hideaway for kids.

I'll give her the tiebacks to hold the rolling pin. The shoe thing looks weird and jamming all of her scarves and belts in the shoe organizer makes me wish that she had hung it in the hall for her everyday shoes, and found another way for the accessories.

Love the idea but my little girl would just play in it and destroy it :(

I've seen lots of them at Michaels and Hobby Lobby. And they sell plastic (?) sheet that you can cut with an exacto knife, and create your own stencils (although I'd never DIY anything super elaborate)

I guess I can see why AT put a MJ post up. It *is* the anniversary of his death, and everyone likes to jump on those kinds of bandwagons.

It makes me sad to see that people can't just acknowledge that yes, MJ was an absolutely amazing musician and performer and humanitarian. And yes, he was accused of child molestation. He was both of those people!

And I agree, I seriously doubt MJ would have liked any one of the rooms pictured above. His house was full of golden, gilded, scrolly, gem-encrusted... things.

As for where I was- I was at work. I was the first of my circle to find out, and I texted the news to all my friends...

Does anyone know if this "no poo" thing works for Black women? I've been interested but the only people I see trying it are White, and they have different needs than I do. And, I didn't see it in the comments, but what is this oil method for cleaning your face? TIA!

@DailyNuance- I know where I live, signs that tall are not allowed. Besides, I wouldn't want a neon garage sale sign at my eye level... because I'm supposed to be looking at the road! And garage-salers know to look down already :)
