Purge to Project: Apron from old Dress Shirt
Make the perfect craft apron from men's old shirts and closet cast offs The projects from the whole house purge seem to have no end! I have really been wanting a new craft apron.

Purge to Project: Linen Closet Wall Hanging
Old linens get a boho chic makeover as a cute wall hanging Purging my house has never been so fun! It feels good to clean out and toss out, but even more fun to bring life to some unwanted/unusable items. Today's project is from the linen closet.

It's like their pillows have legs and one room will end up ... continue reading...
