Organizing using wall space: basketballs & guitars
Every time I organize, there’s always oddball things that end up laying around in a playroom/bonus room/bedroom/wherever. In my daughter’s room, these were her basketball and her guitar. These are not easy things to keep in bins or on a shelf but they needed to go somewhere.

Thinking of burying a St. Joseph statue? Go green with EcoJoe!
