Thanks for the great ideas. One comment for the site host though. Is there anyway to keep the page from completely reloading and scrolling back to the top each time you click to advance to the next picture/slide? It makes it very frustrating to browse through the photos and is the main reason that I unsubscribed the site from my blog list.
Thanks again for the great content!
Great ideas. One thing to note when adding shelves to doors (ie bathroom closet). We’ve done this for several closets, including a pantry, and our original hinges were not strong enough to hold additional weight on the door, even in small amounts. They are easily and inexpensively upgraded at the hardward store but it’s best to do it at the time the shelves are installed to avoid damage to the door and wall.
Hi nice ideas. I especially love the green toiletry cabinet. It looks awesome and just shows how great furniture thats painted green can look. I have an organizing blog named http://routinehabit.com . Given the fabulous content and pictures I’ve found since browsing your blog tonight, I’ve decided to add you guys to my coveted blog roll. My blog is not yet twelve months old, and I’m yet to add a blog roll as I wanted to be certain the sites I included, would add value to my site and especially my readers. It sounds a little vain I know, but you guys especially would know how many hours are needed to be spent to create a compelling and worthwhile site. So thanks Babble, next I’ll be sure to subscribe to your RSS and follow you guys on Face book, Twitter and Google +. Your site is an inspiration and shows just how much can be achieved through providing to your readers, especially mums, the type of information that makes you feel like you have to jump up out of your seat and get started. Trouble is deciding on which category to focus on. I’m sure you have plenty of information covering help with that also. So again thanks Babble, I”m your newest number one fan”.
Love all the fun ideas! But I hate having to reclick & reload to see them all…. then having to click the “back” button a million times to get back to tt&j’s blog! I am always tempted to come look when I see Jen post it on her blog, but never make it past the 3rd slide!
Hey! I LOVE the PVC pipe curling iron holders….do you know if they can be put in there if they’re still hot??
Where can I purchase the bathroom drawer organizer, with all the slots for lipstick, nail polish, etc. . . . LOVE it, WANT it.
