Do It On A Desk

Uncategorized

Organization, that is.

What did you think this post title was about?

Sicko 🙂

Okay – so now that we got that all out on the table (ewwy pun totally intended) let’s talk about the big kahoona in January….ORGANIZATION.

Yup.  The other dirty word.

Organization.  Yup.  January is all about cleaning up your junk.  It’s there.  It’s a hot mess.  And at some point you wish it would just grow it’s own set of hands so that it can start oozing itself toward the recycle bin and pick itself up to throw itself in.  Why?  Because organizing it yourself would be like having your boobs slammed in a freezer door repeatedly…also known as a mammagram.  It’s painful.  It requires a ton of time you already don’t have.  And it’s junk you only care about a split second of the day and good for something that’s gonna expire in two minutes.

I am in that group.  The hoarder-tendencies-with-pretty-much-everything group.  It’s physically painful for me to throw away…especially since we are house-poor…err…living on a tighter budget.  I blame my brainwashing mother. (love you mommy!)  She taught me that if you save something you will have it later so that you can save the money you would have spent on buying it.  AND with a little creativity…you might end up saving a whole lotta money.  Sooo I end up being a junkster.  Not her fault.  Entirely my own doing.  And she is right…but of course, in true Katie fashion, I over do things.

Hence my kitchen desk:

It became this place of ‘putting down’.  I didn’t have a place for my craft paint…I just put it down on the desk.  I didn’t know where to hang Will’s art to dry…I just put it on the desk light fixture.  I didn’t want to sort through old candy, coupons, receipts and memoriabilia from vacations…I just put it on top of everything else.

Hot mess indeed.

That’s when the fine folks of Lowe’s Creative Ideas Magazine came to my rescue.  They gave me $100 to use toward an organization project.  I contemplating blowing it all on their book section and then ‘organizing’ them into my bookshelves…but Jer reminded me that the kitchen desk was going to start eating toddlers soon if I didn’t address the problem.

Soooo….with gift card in hand, we walked into Lowe’s with our plan of attack.  I sketched it out just for my sanity sake….

 

And when we got home, I snapped on my rubber gloves and got to cutting the cutter…

Also known as relocating…all of these items were pulled off the desk and microwave area.  Yes.  I needed an intervention.

And we started by installing the shelves above the desk area.  Yes, they are supposed to be askew.  Didn’t you see the very fine albeit slightly squished artistic rendering of the finished desk?  Skewed shelves are in.  Like totally.

One brand new outdoor light & three shelves later, we have ourselves a brand new workspace.

I was able to sort through a bunch of stuff…throw some away….and organize the rest into this desk.

The lower part works great for my photography stuff.  The little white bin holds all the blank cds I need…the green file folder holds current important stuff…like our budget info…and blog contracts…and comic books (not kidding) and all that good stuff.  And the blue boxes hold everything else I need for the photography biz that doesn’t fit into the drawers.

I absolutely love having pens out in the open – and paint brushes…so those little woven planter containers (from ikea) were perfect for eliminating the five minutes of looking for a pen.

The light is a huge improvement too – at first I was planning on painting it – but I love how the silver finish plays up the stainless steel appliances and the silver clock and silver faux orchid vase.  And since this area is separate from the rest of the kitchen, I feel like making the light different is a-ok.

Above the microwave, we eliminated all the junk and moved in the oversized fabric covered cork board.  I decided that this board would be ONLY dedicated to photos…so now I have to print some 🙂  But no more party invites…no more doctor appt cards or birthday cards from the dentist….just pictures would be on here.

Yes, I am completely obsessed with elephants.  It’s weird.  I think I am so into them because Will can make their noise.  He can’t bark like a dog.  He has no idea what a pig says.  But an elephant?  He can phfrrooooo with the best of them.   Oh and my Pappap loves them too.  Double special.   My little trunky guy has the tacks on his back.

Huge improvement if I do say so myself.  And will be the perfect function as a ‘family desk’ for many years to come.

And now for some side-by-sides…you know…so that I can pat myself on the back.

 

 

 

But as good as it feels to have all that desk organized and my receipts shredded….do you know what feels even better?

No idea?

Well…it’s know that one of my readers gets the chance to do the same thing with their own home…because LCI magazine is sponsoring a giveaway! Here’s some details on how you can win:

  1. Love me some Lowes.

    My sewing area is a disaster. We live in a 1bdrm apartment with a 2 year old and MY corner needs some major help!

  3. Love me some Lowes!

    I would love to work on our home office/ guest room. We’re expecting a baby girl in May, so our once lovely guest room, is now her nursery, and our once functional office, is now multitasking. Not ideal, but I can work with it.

  5. Love me some Lowe’s!

    I’d love to organize our master bathroom. No linen closet in there so things are stuffed random places.

  7. Love me some Lowes!

    It actually is my favorite store! We just moved from a medium sized house with a basement and attic in PA to a small house in CA with no basement or attic so organization is a MUST. We plan to redo the kitchen some day so I will need some great organizational things in those new cabinets. Fingers crossed!

  8. Love me some Lowes!

    Our third baby… Due any day will be moving in with our five year old son. We could stand a bit more organization for: sharing a closet, toy storage, etc!

  9. Love me some Lowe’s!
    AND I’d love to tackle my son’s stashes of outgrown clothes. Currently they are rammed into his little closet, awaiting containers (and the money to buy said containers!)

  10. Love me some Lowes!

    I have to many places to organize… first and foremost, my daughters toys! All the clutter is driving me nuts 🙂

  11. Love me some Lowe’s!
    After a couple years of trying we found out we are pregnant – with twins! Would love to turn our guest coat closet into more functional toy storage.

  12. Love me some Lowes!

    I would love to organize my baby girl’s closet! All of her toys are currently being stored in a laundry basket because we have no place to put them! Help! 🙂

  13. Katie- where did you get that elephant and green boxes? Looks great!

    Love me some Lowes!
    Would love to move my hot water heater and finally have a pantry!

  14. Love me some Lowe’s!

    I would most likely de-clutter /organize my bedside table area or our basement work/storage room.

  15. Love me some Lowes!

    What part of my house don’t I want to organize?! We’re moving next month, so each time we have to show our current home, we stuff things in drawers! I haven’t seen my favorite bra in a month. True story. I need all kinds of help.

  17. Love me some Lowes!

    I would definitely reorganize my kitchen cabinets. The corner shelves are the worse – where platters go to die…

  19. Love me some Lowe’s!

    We bought our first house. And then we almost burned it down for the insurance money. We have a lot of projects to complete to organize our stuff so the rest of the space can feel homey and cozy. I would use work on organizing and storing my son’s toys!

  21. Love me some Lowes!

    I could use some makeover magic in my office/craft room/ebay room! What a disaster in there!

  23. Love Me Some Lowes!
    My computer desk area / bill paying station needs attention badly. I try everyday I really do but it just collects paper and you know anything that I can’t find a home for! Every surface is covered… 🙁

  24. Love me some lowes!!! My fantasy spot would definitely be my closet, I know it has untapped potential!!! Love your desk, it looks awesome!!!

  26. Love me some Lowe’s ! I would love to build in some new shelving and counter in a strange, naked (oh I said naked) nook in our kitchen!

  27. ”Love me some Lowes”

    Hmmm…tough one, probably a tie between the office and the bathroom! They are both in desperate need of some major organization and de-cluttering!

  28. Love me some Lowe’s!

    My office is in dire need of some organization! I work from home and would love a peaceful, un-cluttered space to spend my time!

  29. Love me some Lowe’s!

    I’d love to split the too deep bathroom close to make a bath closet and a linen closet that opens into the hall. Also there’s that storage banquette that I’ve been meaning to make. Also the walk in closet that I’ve been meaning to add to the wall of my master bedroom……..and……

  30. DO IT ON A DESK!!! Err… I mean LOVE ME SOME LOWE’S!

    Love the way you spruced up your desk area! I desperately need to do the same to my desk area in the kitchen.

  31. Love me some Lowe’s!

    My craft room/office/mom cave/whatever! It needs HELP. Like, yesterday!

    Your shelves (and accoutrements) look great – congrats on tackling that spot. 🙂

  32. Love me some Lowes!

    Our 3rd spare bedroom! After doing all the bedrooms, office, living spaces, and 2 guest rooms, I totally ran out of steam. Now the room is where all things random get dumped and forgotten about. I’m embarrassed to admit that I even walk more quickly by the closed door when walking down the hall on that side of the house.

  33. Seriously, I “Love me some Lowes!” I would organize my pantry since it is an out of control hot mess. 🙂 Thanks so much!

  34. Love me some Lowes!

    Our office needs an intervention in a major way. Seeing your cute desk inspires me to get working on mine!

    And don’t even get me started on the pantry closet in the kitchen…

  38. Love me some Lowes! I have a closet that I just don’t open. It’s part coat closet, cleaning closet, linen closet, and death trap. I think that last one is a dealbreaker.

  39. Love me some Lowes!
    I’d love to organize our DVDs, Video games, headphones, remotes and video game controllers. The clutter and wires are driving me insane!

  40. Love me some Lowes! I’m still struggling with my craft room organization after 2 years in this house. This is great inspiration!

  41. love me some lowes!

    i reallllly need to organize our under the sink in the bathroom. It is a total disaster!

  42. “Love me some Lowe’s” I have two hotspots ready for a re-do. My bedroom closet and my bathroom under the sink. WHAT A MESS! Thanks for the chance to win.

  45. LOVE ME SOME LOWES!!!

    I’d love to organize and fully utilize this huge 8 ft. closet we have in our hallway! So many ideas…

  49. Love me some Lowes (seriously-there isin’t one in our town so we actually make it a date night to drive to Lowes and oogle the goods for an hour or two).
    I have an office /craft room that currently collects junk and is begging for a little attention. It hasn’t gotten any love since we moved in!

  51. Love me some Lowes!

    Definitely the island. Mail clutter, grocery clutter, clutter clutter. We have clutter. I need some organization in my life or I might go nuts!

  54. Love me some Lowes… We are building a new house, ourselves, and it has definitely been a challenge. I can’t think of a specific place for organization because there are so many. Would be very handy :-).

  55. Love me some Lowes!!!!
    I would reorganize our front hall closet…Ah who I am kidding! I would organize it for the first time!! lol

  57. Love me some lowes!

    It’s hard to choose one place! Either the kitchen counter/Lansing pad for bills, newspaper, dra cards, anything my husband doesn’t know where to put or my sewing/knitting/office. Or my basement storage or … or… or… so many options!

  58. Love me some Lowe’s. Oh, if you could see MY desk. . . Ugh! My husband and I share a 2-person desk. We traded spots a few weeks ago and my side is STILL a heap. Help!

  59. Love me some Lowes!

    I was just there today buying some paint.

    I have a spare bed room that needs some help. shelves and baskets would be nice and I’d love to make the closet more workable. it’s just stupid

  60. Love me some Lowes!

    I recently moved out of my parents house and into college. My parents decided to turn my room, the biggest bedroom in the house (besides the master) into a “man cave.” Fan-freakin-tastic! I get a different room so I would definitely be using this card to organize my new room. 🙂

  63. Love me some Lowes!

    We are currently trying to make our 90 sq ft kitchen (yes, you read that correctly) roomier, so I would love to add some open shelving in place of upper cabinets to organize all of my favorite glasses and dishes to be on display!

  64. Love me some Lowe’s! We would love to add some more storage space/shelves to our kitchen–there’s just not enough room to put everything!

  65. Love me some Lowes! I could really use to do it in my closet. Organize, that is. Boring, I know!!

  66. Love me some Lowe’s! I think the best spot to organize right now would be the corner of my bedroom. Right now it houses everything that doesn’t go anywhere. I would like to see a little reading nook with a display of my collection of metal stars!

  67. Love me some Lowes!

    I have lots of to-be filed/shredded papers stored away all over my house. I need some decorative solutions for holding everything.

  68. Love me some Lowes… in the office/sewing/workout room. Its your before desk x10 across an entire room. Its in need of some MAJOR organization.

  69. i do Love me some Lowes :o)

    we need a system for our “drop zone” where random mail, appointment reminders, cards, bills, etc comes to land. would love to incorporate it into an office/desk area or as part of an entry area and some organizational help from our neighborhood Lowes would be great toward that!

  72. Love me some Lowes!

    I want to get some stuff for our front & back yard! It needs some loving before it gets too hot here in the summer (Arizona girl here).

  73. Love me some Lowe’s
    My desk, bill paying area, crafting, and jewelry making area needs some major organizing… right now it is all a mess on a folding table.

  78. wow, that looks great! i love when a space is functional and pretty. 🙂

    and i love me some lowe’s! we’re in the beginning stages of some big projects around here, so i’ve got a list of oh, 10 places that could use some good organization help. of course, that’s on top of the rest of the house that needs help, too…

  82. love me some Lowes!

    Our guest room. We’re 2000 miles away from all our family and friends so it just gets everything but guests!

  84. Love me some Lowes!

    I would do it…..in the garage…..my hubby is gonna help me build shelves to house all the junk in there as well as start a section for all my coupon stock ups!! 🙂

  85. Love me some Lowes! Our living room needs to be rescued from receipts, junk mail, everything that gets tossed there!

  86. Love me some Lowes!

    My daughter’s closet which also houses all my crafting and sewing supplies is a hot mess.

  87. I love me some lowes!

    My parents kitchen needs some major help. They have a tight space (row home in Philly) and the cabinets are literally falling apart. I would love to help them refab new cabinets like YHL or build from scratch like Ana-White. But .. since I live in Denver and they live in Philly, my DIY-parent version is a bit more constrained. Sorry for the babble. I hope I win the kitchen card so I can contribute it to my parents future kitchen reno.

    Speaking of kitchen reno, can you tell your bff’s that I’m dying to see their end kitchen reno? If they had a pre-show E! version (like they do for all of the award shows), I def think Bower Power should host the pre-party live coverage version.

    PS: I love the desk redo. Who sort of handles/knobs did you use? Did you make the shelves or were they repurposed from another part of your old house?

  89. Love me some Lowes

    I’m in need of some serious organizational help in all areas of the house. But for starters the bathroom closet!

  90. Great job on the organizing KB! Major improvement! 🙂

    Anyway, “I love me some Lowe’s!”

    And I would love to organize our “office” and computer desk area with this prize $$$!

  93. Katie, this looks great!
    Your house is starting to look like a home, and I’m really happy for you guys!

    No Love me some Lowes, because I’m in Portugal!! But good job Katie and Lowes, anyway!

    😉

  94. LOVE ME SOME LOWES!

    I need to organize our linen closet! Every time I open the door something falls out!

  95. I too “love me some Lowe’s” – my office/craft room/guest room is a hot mess right now, and pretty much always, so this could definitely help pave the way to better organization.

  96. Love me some Lowes!

    I would definitely organize my kitchen since it’s tiny and doesn’t have too many cabinets or storage.

  97. Love me some Lowes!

    My dream is to organize our multipurpose room. That place is a disaster!

  98. Love me some Lowes
    My room is a former storage room, tons of my stuff and random other stuff is everywhere, I’d probably redo the closet so I can actually put clothes in there instead of piled in the laundry basket.

  99. Jeepers woman! It looks amazing! And it has inspired me because I was worried that painting my Office shelves black, or a dark chocolate color, would go not work with the lighter colors I had in mind…but it totally does!

    Ps: I’m not being deliberately aloof with my ‘Love me some Lowes’. I’m sure I would love me some if Lowes was in Australia. Actually, I think it is. I think it is a clothing chain specializing in outfitting men who are over 50…

  100. Love me some Lowes!

    My favorite place to organize is my bathroom closet and the 2 junk drawers we have in the kitchen. I reorgd the bathroom closet on Christmas vacation but need to hit the junk drawers – badly!

  101. Hi Katie,”Love Me Some Lowes”!!!My tupperware closet is always a mess!!That would be my mission spot!Lj

  102. Love Me Some Lowes!

    I have the same area that needs addressing, the kitchen desk! It’s easy accessibility makes it be a catch all. That’s an eye sore for when guests arrive!

  105. Love me some Lowes!

    I would send this to my mom, she is in need of some serious den organization on no budget so it would really kick start her room organization.

  107. Love me some Lowes. I would love to organize all of my holiday decor in the basement. Need to get some nice size tubs to give each holiday thier own space 🙂

  108. My office needs desperate help. It is an office, dressing room, fly tying room and general place where everything with out a home lands. This would be perfect!

  110. Love me some Lowes!

    I would ‘do it’ under my bed (hehe). I’ve pretty much shoved everything I don’t need under there for the past two years. Disaster!

  111. Love me some Lowes….. my entire coffee table seems to be the junk attractor of the house and collects everything!!!

  112. Love me some Lowes!

    My pantry needs a complete overhaul. Has inappropriately sized and spaced shelves that need to go!

  113. Love me some Lowes!

    We’re nearing the end of our 6-month gut and renovation project on our new home and our dining room has been the catchall for all of or junk, boxes, extra furniture, etc. It basically looks like a room sized version of your desk before. It needs help!!

  114. Love me some Lowes!!

    We are moving into our new home this Spring (pending everything continues to go well!). I would love to redo the kitchen! The cabinets are OKAY but old and need a facelift. The countertops as well. The opposite side houses a fridge and large cabinet that is more like a storage unit for a garage. Would love to add some more counter top space and NORMAL cabinet space over there!

  115. Love me some Lowes. I would totally organize the “media room” in the basement. Toys, books and movies are everywhere now. It’d be nice to get a jump on organizing it!

  116. Love me some Lowes!

    I just started brainstorming some ways to control our toy clutter in our living room. I definitely need more hidden storage options, I think. Thanks for the chance to win!

  117. Love me some Lowes! I really, really need to organize my kids’ closets! Moved into the house a year ago and have done nothing in the way of making them more kid friendly.

  118. Love me some Lowes!
    I’d love to organize our desk area as well… A box for bills, a box for everything needed to pay the bills, etc. But I want to keep it all hidden… 🙂
    Great work on your desk area!

  121. Love me some Lowes!

    Our house could use a whole organization make over! Right now, my first choice would be the guest room where my husband takes off and stores his shoes every day. It is messy and unpleasant to look at. A gift card from Lowes would go a long way to saving my sanity!

    Have a great day- enjoy your newly organized desk!

    Heidi

  122. Love me some Lowes!!! I have some organizational needs in every room of my house, but MOST in need is my baby’s room! he’s making the transition to toddler toy land….we need some help STAT!! (Thanks for the giveaway!)

  124. Love me some Lowes!
    As good as I am at organizing, I have a walk in closet that could use some help…or my boyfriend’s entire room of mountain biking stuff.

  126. Love me some lowes!!

    Our office, err catchallroomfullofsoooomuchjunk, is in desperate need of some reorganization. Boy, would that gift card help!

  127. Love me some Lowes!!

    We’re moving in March, and I am dreaming of a “family desk” set up much like yours! 🙂 I have the perfect spot for it in the corner of our new family room. Great job, love the colors you chose for your accessories. 🙂

  128. Love me some Lowes!
    I would totally start with our command center/mudroom. It is AWFUL!!! Pretty sure if a small child went in there, they wouldn’t come back out.

  129. Love me some Lowes!

    My do it spot would be our hall closet—a black hole of coats, mops, light bulbs, etc. Scary!

  131. I really do love me some lowes-spend my “free” time there actually 🙂

    After more than 6 months of my husband working at home, and more than 4 years of me doing the same, we are finally setting up a true home office space on the first floor of our old house. I could definitely use some help getting it organized.

  132. Love me some Lowes.

    I so need to organize all of my sewing stuff. It is a complete disaster…some of it is with the sewing machine, some of it is haphazardly stuffed in a closet…plus I went to JoAnn’s last week, and there is a bag full of pretty new things to sew sitting in my living room because I can’t figure out where to put them…fail!

  134. Love me some Lowes!

    My dresser is out of control is jewlery and single socks (who are awaiting their buddies from the “next” load of laundry)and other random stuff that comes out of our pockets at the end of the day. Its a mess!

  137. Love me some Lowes! We have a junk closet that I basically throw things in when I don’t know where they should go. It’s in major need of some organization!

  138. Love me some Lowes!

    We are in serious need of some book shelves (I have dreams of built ins). I haven’t seen my books since I packed them up 3 years ago before we moved.

  139. Love me some Lowes! If you could only see my guest room. I think it is where everything I don’t use on a weekly basis goes to die. I know the gift card won’t solve all my problems, but it’ll certainly help and give me a kick in the rear end to get started.

  143. LOVE ME SOME LOWES!
    I would transform my craft room into a totally functional (and beautiful) space.

  144. Love me some Lowes. My closet needs some organization love. Everytime I see those gorgeous closets in Lowes ad….

  145. Love me some Lowes!

    I would love to organize our playroom/office/dog bedroom. I like to call it multi-functional but really, it’s just a mess. Every weekend starts out with “I’m gonna get that room together” and ends with me doing anything else in the world besides tackling it.

  147. Love me some Lowe’s! My utility room/laundry/pantry needs a LOT of help. It’s the entry from the garage… so it becomes the catch-all for everything and it’s out of control!

  149. LOVE ME SOME LOWE’S —- I really do like Lowe’s so much for organizing (much better than that other home improvement store that I won’t mention). I want to organize my entryway closet AND turn it from a closet to a mudroom! Fingers, toes and other parts crossed to help me win this priiiiiiizzzzzeeeee 🙂

  150. Love me some Lowes!

    We moved into our current house when I was pregnant with our daughter so I kind of squashed my control freak side for the sake of not causing stress. But now that she is 2-1/2 years old the house feels like a disaster zone (I’ve got a little bit of OCD when it comes to organization), we’ve redone most of the rooms in the house EXCEPT our master bedroom…so I’d like to find some creative ways to organize our overly tiny closet and find a better way to sort laundry so I’m not spending hours sorting before I even get to the days worth of laundry (UGH). SUPER LONG RUN on sentence. My apologies…the angst just spilled out of my fingers. Haha SORRY!

  152. Love me some Lowes

    My parents are renovating their bathroom at the moment. I think this would be a nice surprise gift from me so they can get that room organized!

    xx

  154. Love me some Lowes!

    I work from home, so my desk needs some serious help! I also have the same place in the kitchen that collects all the “stuff”. That area needs a lot of love too!

  155. Love me some Lowe’s!

    I’d love to do it in my closet. It is an even hotter mess than your counter tops, and it’s in serious need of help.

  158. Love me some Lowe’s! Our mudroom/extra small room with no real purpose yet.

    Love your desk!!!

  159. Love me some Lowe’s!

    I just started working from home, and need some serious help organizing my office into a functional work space!

  162. Love me some Lowe’s!

    I would love to organize a crafting area….right now things are kept in random places throughout the house.

    BTW, your desk looks AAAAAMAZING!

  165. Love me some Lowes!

    I desperately need to organize my bathroom vanity and closet…and the rest of my house.

  166. Love me some Lowe’s.

    Trying to organize a new nursery that was a guest room. Lots of things to get rid of and organize!

  167. Love me some Lowes!

    The second bedroom that is supposed to be the craft/office/guest space. would love to get it together so it actually fulfills those functions.

  168. Love me some Lowes…. I’d love to rework the tool bench I have in my office. Currently it has litterboxes, a sewing machine, fabric scraps, stuff I’ve just had to put down somewhere, etc. Help!

  170. LOVE me some Lowes! I desperately need some organizational help in my eat in kitchen that doubles as a dining room, a sewing space, a craft room, and a homework area! 🙂

  172. Love me some Lowes.

    My disorganized spot is my computer desk. Still sporting a desktop computer – no laptop yet, plus a large printer and more paper than needs to be here. Since hubby is painting the room next week it will have to go somewhere.

  173. Love me some Lowes!

    I need to clean up my dining room table- its become our paperwork dumping grounds.

  175. Love me some Lowes!

    I’d likely use this to organize all my sewing/knitting/crafting supplies in my office as up until now I’ve just been using printer paper boxes from work!

  177. Love me some Lowes!

    Well, I could use some organization pretty much everywhere at my house, but I’d say my utility closet and storage closet (the only two places in our tiny condo to put anything/everything that doesn’t have a specific purpose/place!) could use some organizational lovin’!

  178. LOVE me some Lowe’s. They have such great stuff!

    I would love to do it in the basement…I already have the schematic drawn up and everything. Just need the funds!

  181. LOVE ME SOME LOWES!
    We’re putting up a surround on our sitting room fireplace and I have an available corner. I was considering moving a small (2″x3″) table into that corner, getting one of those clear acrylic chairs, and creating a little bill-paying alcove. Right now this is our vacation home but we’re getting close to retirement and pretty soon it will be our primary residence. I’ll need a place to keep bills and important papers that isn’t part of my scrapping room/spare room, or kitchen, etc. I have the table already – it’s too small to craft on but just right for a laptop, an envelope and a pen. So pick me! Pick me!!!

  186. Love me some Lowes!

    I can’t decide between my studio, our entryway desk, our kitchen bar, or our dining room….yeah, I have a piling problem…

  188. Love me some Lowes!

    Seriously, my whole house. But I think I’d start with our dining room/landing area. We need a place to set all our stuff when we come in the door and right now it all lands on the table. Yuck.

  189. Love me some Lowes!!

    With a toddler (read: A LOT OF TOYS) I’d love to have some organization for all of her stuff! Though seeing your desk reno has gotten me dreaming of a lovely space like that! 🙂

  190. Love me some Lowes!!!! The kids homework desk, the playroom closet, my closet…. the list is 3 days long. 😉

  191. Love me some Lowe’s!

    I would do it in the office – my sewing table seems to want to eat the computer desk!

  192. love me some lowes! we have a secretary desk that is out of control. Needs some serious help!

  193. Love me some Lowes.

    My garage is in desperate need of organization! The rest of my house has already been hit with the January organization bug I currently have.

  194. Love me some Lowes!! It is only 1.4 mi from my home <3

    I would do it in the dining room, which is the home of my personal desk nightmare. In competition with your before picture 🙂 The after picture is fab!

  195. Oh do I ever love me some Lowes!! My husband says they love me too–I think a little secret alarm goes off to the employees every time I walk in there. My closet in the master bedroom is a horrendous mess! Things actually slide out of it when the doors are opened–so aggravating! Help me Lowes! Thank you Katie for always bringing a smile to my face and sharing your wit, great projects and beautiful family with the rest of us– 🙂

  196. LOVE ME SOME LOWES!

    My office is in desperate need of some organization…it’s been on the to-do list forever : )

  198. Love me some Lowes!!!

    Woot… I wanna do it in the kitchen! I have piles all over my kitchen counter, and bags of stuff all over the floor. Seriously, there’s a path between the fridge, oven, sink, pantry, and both exits… with piles everywhere else. It’s pretty pathetic, but I’d love to be able to see my pretty countertops one day soon. *sniff*

  199. Love me some Lowe’s! I have always wanted to organize my husband’s desk. He doesn’t seem to have a problem with it, but it’s a complete disaster and it pains me to look at.

  200. Love me some Lowe’s!

    There is a corner of my kitchen in desperate need of some shelves just like yours! I would love to get that corner organized.

  201. Love me some Lowes!
    I want to do it in the bedroom ;)! We have a small house, so if we don’t know where something should go or don’t feel like looking, it goes in the bedroom.

  205. Love me some Lowe’s!

    I need to organize so, so many areas, but #1 on my list is the craft area to make it more user friendly for my kids.

  206. “Love Me Some Lowes”
    My closet!! we live in a small apt. with a baby and 2 cats…and the closet stores everything from linens to shoes to purses to pillows. a nice organizing system would be great!

  207. Love me some Lowes

    I am in desperate need of some shelves for the office. It has started to become a catch all, and I’m running out of places to put things in there to accommodate both work and home functions. HELP!

  208. “Love me some Lowes”! My craft stuff is a disaster. It has all kind of been stuffed into the bottom drawer of my buffet table and china cabinet. It’s the only place I can keep it out of reach where my little one cant get to it! I keep saying I will go through it and organize, but have yet to. Also need to get something to keep all the artwork and special things my son brings home from school. It’s hard to throw anything out, but if I didnt we would be buried. I just decide what’s really special and save that, so some sort of tote to put it all in would be great.

  209. Love me some Lowes! We have an entry way table that is the dumping ground for everything- mail, magazines, receipts, coupons, pictures, etc. etc. I would LOVE to organize it!

  210. Love me some Lowes
    I want a desk area in the kitchen to wrangle papers.

    I just saw that Lowes is on Pinterest! I admire their web-presence; they have a lot of personality.

  213. Love Me Some Lowes! I would totally get our desk area snazzied up. It’s pretty sad right now.

  214. Love me some Lowes.

    All of my closets need a major make over!!! I “clean” when we have people over and just throw stuff on top of even more stuff that I threw in last time I “cleaned.” It is a problem.

  215. Your desk area is so purty!

    Love me some Lowe’s! My sewing/business area could REALLY use some organization. There is stuff spilling out everywhere.

  216. Love me some Lowes!!! 🙂

    We’re building a new home that is more than twice the size of our current home. That means LOTS of new spaces that will need some serious organization. I don’t even know where to begin… Well, that’s not exactly true. I know EXACTLY where I want to begin! With a certain TOY BOX project to organize our new play area/loft! 🙂

    Seriously. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this storage solution and asked my FIL to build it for me. He said he’d buy me something similar from Target as a housewarming gift. LOL! I haven’t given up though… I’m gonna beg my husband to do it. Unless, of course, Jer is available?? 😉

  217. LOVE ME SOME LOWES!

    I need to organize so, so, much. But the room we use as an office would be my start.

  218. Love me some Lowes! I NEED to organize my spare room/office and its closet. It has started to become a black hole of miscellaneous items, and I need to bring some organization and function in there so I (and guests) can actually use it!

  220. Love me some Lowes! I have a spice/baking supply cabinet screaming for some baskets and tiered racks.

  224. Love me some Lowes!

    I would do the same and organize the area in the kitchen that has become the official drop zone of mail, cards, magazines, to-do lists, napkins, etc. Thanks!

  226. Love me some Lowes.

    My closet desperately needs organizing (or maybe I should just actually hang up clothes after I do laundry instead of piling them sort of in the closet…might help). Also my desk – which I have literally never sat at…basically its a place to pile junk.

  227. Love me some Lowes!

    I desperately need to organize and rearrange our bedroom [we have this bizarre open closet in the room right now, and it looks as though we’re having a permanent, indoor garage sale!] clothes situation.

    Also, excellent job on your kitchen desk. Super inspiring!

  228. Love me some Lowes!

    And yeah, I pretty much need to organize everything in the house. I did finally get our DVD collection under control, but clothing storage, bathroom storage, kitchen storage… yeah. They definitely need some attention.
    Love the new desk area, btw. Super cute!

  229. Love me some Lowes

    I would love to organize our third bedroom. It currently has all sorts of junk in there, but I’d like to turn it into an office/workout room. Let’s just say my treadmill is stacked with lots of papers…

  232. Love me some Lowes! We have a bar-type thing in the kitchen that is the catch-all and it has open shelves that are just piled full of stuff. I would love to add some pretty baskets/containers and maybe put some shelves on the wall above it to display some pretties! 😀

  233. I have several bookshelves in my office that need some major organization. Luckily – the worst culprit (the one where my dental student hubby drops everything when he comes home) is hidden when the door is open to the office (which is always) so I’ve neglected it – that is until I need to get back there and pull something off my shelf. Disaster, I tell you. I think a few pretty bins for all the random stuff that sits on the shelves would do the trick, and maybe some floating shelves above the shorter book shelf would add some decorative flair!

  234. LOVE ME SOME LOWES

    i would totally do in my bedroom…organize my desk that is 😉
    we have a desk in our bedroom that has become the catchall for ‘stuff’ we don’t know what to do with!!!

    thanks for hosting this awesome giveaway!!

  235. Love me some Lowes!

    We have been in the organizing mood this month too! The place that still needs alot of help is also our desk area. We need boxes and magazine files to unify the space!!

    PS— love the blog, you have great ideas!

  237. Love me some Lowes!

    I’d use it to help organize our office supplies, as our office has to combine into another room since the current office will become the nursery for our first child come July!

  239. Love me some Lowes!

    My desk needs major help…like dismantling and replacement with a wardrobe. That would be much more practical and one less horizontal surface to catch clutter.

  240. Love me some Lowes!

    We live in a tiny 2 bedroom 1 bath duplex and our second bedroom does triple duty as guest room, office, and music room. I would love to be able to organize that space in our tiny home!

  241. Love me some Lowes!

    And of course I want to “do it” in the guest bedroom. I have yet to “do it” in there 😉

  242. Love me some Lowe’s…
    I’m in the midst of turning my very deep guest bedroom closet into a craft area, this would be very helpful with my low budget plan…
    One of my favorite post so far, we all have that “catch all” area and needed a little inspriation.

    P.S- if I win I would love to show Lowe’s what I did with it!

  243. Love me some Lowes!
    Our kitchen desk and master bedroom closets are both in need of organization!

  244. Love me some Lowe’s!

    Seriously…I love that place. And I love the Lowe’s Creative Ideas magazine. I look at the new ideas all the time.
    The area I would love to organize is, our whole house? My fiance and I both lived on our own before getting engaged and I moved in with him almost 2 years ago. We still have boxes sitting around, doubles of most kitchen items, and an office/desk area that you can barely see under all the junk in that room. Oh Lowe’s, help a girl out!

  245. My mom also has a lot of love for all things elephant. It’s starting to creep into my daughter’s growing collection too! I love me some Lowes. We have a large bedroom that we need to split to be our office too so I would start there will organization.

  246. Love me some Lowes!

    My husband and I just moved into a new apartment a couple of months ago, so right now everything needs some help! But we’re prioritizing our office right now, since it’s basically a junk room at the moment and not really conducive to getting work done.

  248. Love me some Lowes. I could really use this to organize our office. It is in terrible shape.

  250. Love me some Lowes. My new laundry area, which has stalled, is desperately in need of some organization.

  251. Love me some Lowe’s! I need to do it in so many places in my house 🙂 But if I had to pick the biggest eyesore, it’s our garage.

  252. Love me some Lowes!

    Would love to organize our office area. Need some shelving and boxes like you bought. Love the color choices, by the way!

  253. Love me some Lowes!

    Our basement is a hot mess right now. Granted it’s a big, dry, full of light hot mess, but it desperately needs organization so that the kids aren’t playing in and around my tools and paint and climbing our precariously stacked bin towers (though it’s understandable cause it totally looks like a fun idea in theory.)

  255. Love me some lowe’s…in my closet…or my garage. Or really anywhere in my house. Do the rent professional organizers at lowe’s?

  257. Love me some Lowe’s!!! I’d love to organize the bill-paying corner of my kitchen. Your makeover turned out great!

  259. Love me some Lowes!

    Would love to organize our master closet. Who knew getting dressed could be such a chore?!

  260. Love me some Lowes! I think I’d use it for our office/toy room- the toys are slowly oozing out into the kitchen, living room, etc and I can’t take it anymore!

    Love your desk makeover- looks great!!

  265. Love me some Lowes! I really really need to fix our office! It has become the catch all room and I need to figure out how to organize all my crafting materials.

    Your desk makeover looks amazing- I love the mix of textures and the vertical interest with the shelves and light!

  266. Love me some Lowes!

    I think it’s a toss-up between my own desk where I put random papers & objects to disappear, and our bedroom’s open floor space where purgatory laundry lives. (You know, the stuff that’s been worn but it’s not dirty enough to need washing? It ends up on the ground and then the dust bunnies attack and eventually it does need washing before the next wear. So frustrating!)

  267. Love me some Lowes!

    We’re currently painting my office and I’m dreading the day when the junk returns to that room and hides the wonderful work we put into it. I desperately need shelving and organization in there!

  268. Love me some Lowes! I’m a piler/keeper, my husband is not. It is a point of contention. I’d love to get help organizing our kitchen piles, a.k.a. bills/mail/magazines/coupons/school art/calendar/menu planning/photos, etc. Lowes to the rescue!

  271. Love me some Lowes! I’d love to organize my closets. We live in an old house and the closets are teeny tiny so I know some good organization would really help utilize the space better.

  274. Love me some Lowes!

    My kids art supplies are spilling out onto every surface of my house. I need help in a BIG way!

  275. Love me some Lowes!

    I’m pretty good at keeping the house organized…our four year old’s toys all have their place on shelves in the living room (and now he’s old enough to help put them away!) and I just spent a couple of weekends organizing and purging my sewing/craft room in the attic, so I should feel this sense of accomplishment. However every time I walk into the house (through our kitchen door) I want to cry. It is a disaster! Between all the papers that get sent home daily from pre-schoool, mail and not enough cabinet/countertop space for small appliances (crock pot, toaster, etc) it is a mess. I keep trying to organize, but with a budget of $0 my solutions are limited to what we have on hand (and they clearly aren’t working)!

  276. Love me some Lowes!

    Great work Katie! I need help organizing a too small entry way closet that needs to pull double duty as a coat closet and all around junk hoarder. Help!

  277. Love me some Lowes!

    This post is very timely, as I was planning this week how to reorganize our master bedroom closet. Its a very overwhelming thought, but I’m glad you were able to tackle your desk.

  280. Love me some Lowes…my closet desperately needs some organization. It’s crammed to the gills with clothes and I can’t find anything!…love love love what you did with your desk…adorable!

  281. Love me some Lowes!

    Both my closet and laundry room need some serious help. It is a tough choice to choose where to start!

  283. Love me some Lowes! I would also use the gc to organize my home office…I think mine is worse than yours was!

  284. Love me some Lowe’s!

    I’d do it on either the kitchen table and bar which collect all the mail or our ‘desk’ upstairs, which once we finally move the mail off the kitchen table goes to the desk 😉

  285. LOVE me some Lowes! My laundry room is a horrible hot mess. We enter our house through the laundry room and it has become our dumping ground for everything IN ADDITION to all of the normal laundry hot mess. Your desk is super cute!

  286. Love me some Lowes!

    The closet in my office and my basement are in need of organization!

  289. Love me some Lowes!

    Where don’t I want to organize? I went through this crazy nesting organization phase right before I had my daughter… and now that she’s nearly a year old, its like junk just vomited all over our house. I’d really like to tackle our basement again (we have a very small basement that acts as our laundry room, storage and office).

  290. Love me some Lowe’s!

    I desperately need to organize my basement! We have plenty of space but no shelving so everything is just piled everywhere, it needs some love!

  291. Meeeeep! Katie, that looks AMAZEBALLS!! Love it, and love me some Lowe’s. I desperately need to do something similar in our extra bedroom/”office”…aka the place I just throw all the junk we don’t know what to do with. You’re an inspiration!!

  292. Love me some Lowes

    I want to do it in the closet…Yeah, my baby’s closet needs some serious organization!

  293. Love me some Lowes!

    Our coat closet has become our go-to place to stuff things that have no where else to go. It is in major need of organizing.

  294. Love me some Lowes!

    I would love to organize our laundry/mudroom or our home office. It’s a toss up!

  295. Love me some Lowe’s! I need to organize my bathroom vanity…and my desk…and my foyer table. Pick me!

  297. LOVE ME SOME LOWES!

    We recently moved so I’m in deep need of organizing our new office! We didn’t have an office before so now it’s mostly a junk room with a desk. $100 would go a long way!

  298. Love me some Lowes! Our guest bathroom — or the dumping ground (no pun intended!) for all the crummy shampoos as it is currently known — is in desperate need of a makeover!

  302. Love me some Lowes

    My shoe closet! (Yes, I have an entire closet devoted just to my shoes…and it could use some help)

  304. LOVE me some Lowe’s!!!! I really do too! I would love to organize my office. I work from home and it’s a complete disaster…unorganized means unproductive.

  305. Love me some Lowes!! I desperately need to organize my office/craft room! ps…your desk space looks awesome – great job!

  306. Love Me Some Lowe’s!

    Living overseas we have ZERO closet/cabinet/storage space, so our office is a bit of a disaster. $100 and APO shipping could be a big help!

  307. Love me some Lowe’s especially in my game room!! Right now it has nothing but a ping pong table in it..lots on the to do list for it though!! Thinking big square frames on the walls to put the paddles, a chalkboard scoreboard, and game rules!! That gift card would go a long way towards helping me out on it!!

  308. Love me some Lowes!

    I would finish organizing my newly moved office. And get rid of all the left behind stuff in the old office!!

  309. Love me some Lowes!

    My room that looks like Home Goods puked on the floor needs help (this would be my accessories dumping ground/craft/office/guest room). It’s bad. Real bad!

  310. Love me some Lowes

    Right now baby’s closet needs some organization. It’s completely empty! No hanging rod, no shelves…

  312. I love me some Lowes! I would love to tackle our laundry room – we could use some shelving and organization in there.

  313. Love me some Lowes! I would have to organize my desk area as well… half the time I can’t even get to my laptop!

  315. Love Me Some Lowes!

    I too need a desk intervention. I have a computer desk with no storage at all! Some cool shelving and storage would go a long way to help me organize it! 🙂

  316. Love me some lowes…. my closet it at the top of my list! Along with my entertainment center, kitchen cabinets, desk, and dresser… 🙂

  317. Love me some Lowes! I would love to organize my laundry area better. Make is a more joyful place to want to visit. LOL!

  321. LOVE ME SOME LOWE’S!

    I need help with my desk/office area too … and you did an AMAZING job with yours Katie! Nice, nice job!!

  322. i love me some lowes. my laundry room. its a sad state of affairs in there right now and it could totally use some love.

  323. Love me some Lowes!! i really really do. that is my favorite favorite home improvement store. i think a desk in the kitchen in perfection. love your light fixture switch-out. huge improvement. 🙂 i need major organization in our bedroom and master closet.

  325. Love me some Lowes!

    I’m dying to do it in the laundry room. It’s our catchall for miscellaneous stuff that we don’t know what to do with.

  326. Love me some Lowes!!
    I would buy a shower liner system for my bathroom remodel!! Maybe some tile, too!

  328. Love me some Lowes!

    My dressing area is out of control, and the rest of out closests could use some love!!

  329. Love me some Lowes!

    Organization is my goal, too! I need to tackle the mess that is my linen closet!

  330. Love me some Lowes!!! I’ve been in my house for over a year and still need to do soooo much.

  331. Love me some Lowes!
    No idea what I would work on- probably fix the faucet in the kitchen. The handle comes off if you don’t turn it on just so… but the list of to dos is a mile long!

  334. Leave me some Lowes!

    I have a bookcase in the kitchen that serves as our “desk,” and no matter how many times I organize it, it always becomes a dumping spot for papers and little things. That’s where I would focus on!

  335. Love me some Lowe’s.
    Goodness we could use some organization in the bathroom. Just a mis-mosh of cleaners, ancient soaps, and retired hair dryers under those cabinets. Some shelves would certainly help and add more height!

  337. love me some lowes!

    I must organize the garage! Its a literal labyrinth in there (without the hot big-haired David Bowie at the end…..child of the 80’s here=)

    This would get me started! fingers crossed!

  338. My desk (in the family room) looks very similar to your before shots. I NEED some organization in there!!

  340. Love me some Lowes! Our upstairs hall closet is where everything gets dumped. It needs help!

  341. Love me some Lowes!

    I desperately need to organize the closet under the stairs it is busting with kids crafts, my crafts and is the official company is coming stick it in there place.

  342. Love me some lowes! I have so many things that need to be organized in preparation for a baby, but I would probably use the gift card to get cute baskets and what not to organize the baby’s room! Thanks for the giveaway, and I love your blog!

  343. Love me some Lowes!

    I would love to organize our basement. It’s a big room that currently houses a home office and play area but mainly serves as a big storage room.

  344. Love me some lowes!
    Need some organization on the island in my kitchen. It seems to be the catch all and if I can’t change that (probably never will), it could at least be organized and pretty!

  345. Love me some Lowes.. it would be great to finally tackle organizing my holiday decor and such 🙂

  347. LOVE ME SOME LOWES!!

    We just added some cabinets and storage to our laundry room, but now it needs to be organized!!

    Awesome job on the desk Katie. I love those storage boxes!!!

    Erica

  349. Love me some Lowe’s!

    I’m in desperate need of organizing my sewing supplies. I just got a sewing machine, and have done a few projects – and now the scraps and spools of thread, etc, are piling up!

  353. “Love me some Lowes”

    I want to do it on my entryway. My entryway is in serious need of a makeover. With three kids dumping stuff it can become quite a disaster area.

  354. Love me some Lowe’s! My husband and I are expecting our first child in August and I know we’ll need some organization “stuff” as we shift rooms around!

  355. Love me some Lowes!

    The basement, man alive-does it need some serious work.

    Like the Genie in Aladdin your desk looks like it’s got some phenomenal cosmic power.

    xo

  358. Love me some Lowes!!

    No kidding. We are in the midst of a remodel for the short sale house we bought a few months ago and we go into Lowes every day (sometimes 2 or 3 times a day). I would love to tackle the main floor bathroom next and need to get lots of baskets and organization drawer thingys for the new vanity we’ll have to get, shelves for an empty wall, and a nice cabinet for the lonesome wall near the toilet. Lots to do!

  360. Love me some Lowes!

    Oh, where do I start? My kids closet? The living room would be nice to get some things done (I need to find something to hang on a now empty wall + a book shelf there would be nice). Or our bathroom, it needs some sprucing up, like new paint.

  361. Love me some Lowes! We have a 1 year old, and the toys have taken over! Would love to do something similar to the toy box you made!

  364. Love me some Lowes!

    Your desk area looks great! Must be refreshing to look at it now. I love organizing. But one project that needs an overhaul is my husbands closet. 😉

  365. Love me some Lowes

    I need to organize our kitchen! I can never find anything, so I go buy more and end up having duplicates of everything. I seriously hate kitchen cabinets.

  367. Love me some Lowe’s!

    We need to organize basically our whole kitchen, but if I had to choose it would be some organizational shelves for our cabinets.

  369. Love me some Lowes!

    My family room needs a ton of organization! Toys everywhere to corral. Doo-dads and knick-knacks everywhere too. Ugh.

  371. Love me some Lowes! Sorry, I don’t have time to read the comments but did you get those boxes at Lowes as well or are they from another source?

    I noticed you added knobs to just that section of cabinets – I’m assuming you’ll add the same knobs to the rest of the kitchen. Is that right?

  372. Love me some Lowes! My laundry needs help in the worst way. We just moved into the house and there are no shelves or cabinets in there so everything is on top of the washer and dryer.

  373. Love me some Lowes! I desperately need to organize my spare room. Everything from gift wrap to old magazines.

  374. Love me some Lowes!! Our office/craft room is an absolute mess. I would love to get it organized

  375. Love me some Lowes!

    One of our spare bedrooms/office/library/my closet has become ridiculous! It is definitely time for some organization!

  377. Love me some Lowes!

    I’d do it on our kitchen table…or our bathroom closet…or our laundry room.

    Wait we are still talking about organizing right? 😉

  378. Love me some Lowes!

    Can I say “my whole house!”? Because it needs it. But instead, I’ll say the master br. I’ve worked hard on all the other areas of the house, but neglected the master. It shouldn’t be that way!

  380. Love me some Lowes!
    I desperately need to organize my basement family room. Right now it is the catch-all for everything that doesn’t have a home. Scary!

  382. Love me some Lowes.

    UGHHHH, it has to be at least one closet. they all need it, but i dont think i can commit to all of them. one at a time.

  383. love me some lowes!! my upstairs loft which is exploding with un-opened wedding gifts and other wedding leftovers/crafts/junk from when i got married… in july… whoops!

  385. Love Me Some Lowes!

    My garage is a scary cluttered place that I cringe at every time I go there. Its definitely our dirty little secret as the house itself is neat and mostly organized.

  386. Love me some Lowes! My whole house totally needs this…but to narrow it down, I’d either use it towards organizing our home office area or our kitchen counters.

  389. Love me some Lowes! I would love to organize my closet! My husband is so messy and I need some easy storage for all of his stuff!

  391. Love me some Lowe’s! What an incredible difference in your desk and microwave areas!!

    I would like to re-organize my office! It is one big stack of papers and other crap. I hate it.

  392. Love me some Lowes!

    Sadly, our office needs a lot of attention in the organization department. But I think I would rather splurge and makeover my sewing room or laundry room – both could use shelving and I spend more time there than the office.

  394. Love me some Lowes!

    Our basement is in a sad state. It has become the drop area for anything that doesn’t belong on the top two floors and it has gotten out of control, I would love to take the time to organize it!

  395. Love me some Lowes

    I would love to win the gift card to organize my basement. Purchas some shelving to install and get rid of the clutter.

  398. LOVE ME SOME LOWES! Our home office has been screaming “Organize Me Please!” for over a year now. We need help from Lowes for sure!

  399. Love me some Lowes!!

    I would love to organize my guest bedroom. We moved into our house five years ago, and it has mainly been our junk room: old furniture, massive amounts of baby clothes, tools…you name it, it’s there somewhere. I would love to organize it and be able to see the floor!

  400. Love me some Lowes!!

    The biggest area that needs some much needed organization is our laundry room/mud room. There is an awkward nook that we just throw everything in there from large cooking appliances to our tools.

  401. Love me some Lowes! I need to get my desk organized. It has become the dumping ground for everything since we moved it to our main living room so I can work and hang with the kiddo at the same time. Where did the little ellie come from by the pictures? I love him! I have had an elephant collection since I was a kid and am always looking to add. Your desk looks great!

  402. Love Me Some Lowes! I would absolutely love to organize my Master Bath. There is currently no decent storage in there, so everything is a huge mess under the sink and I would love love love to get it all organized with the help of Lowes.

  403. Love Me Some Lowes!

    Our garage is a scary cluttered mess that I am overwhelmed with. Its our dirty little secret as the house is neat and mostly organized.

  404. Love me some Lowes! My laundry room needs some help but also my desk area (which is in the dining room) and also all the office stuff which is in a cabinet in the kitchen but totally not organized. I need some serious help. 😉

  407. Love me some Lowes….

    I would want to do it in my closet, or in my pantry, or the spare room, or the living room. Heck, I would probably even do it in the garage. Wait, you didn’t say we actually need to pick just one place right? I like to keep my options open 😉

  408. Love me some Lowes! Especially since my hubby works there 🙂 I would use the $100 to organize either our bedroom closet or the kids’ closet.

  411. Love me some Lowe’s!

    My closet is in desperate need of some. It hasn’t gotten any in a while…..organization, that is.

  412. LOVE ME SOME LOWES! Our current office/dumping-ground-for-everything-we-haven’t-put-up-yet room. It needs some serious help!

  413. LOVE ME SOME LOWES!
    My whole house needs some organization! I broke our house up into 6 sections and am forcing myself to tackle a section each week for 6 weeks until I am done. Then I am having a mega garage sale to get it all out of my house!

  414. Love me some Lowes!!!

    My closet is in need of organizing!!! Too many clothes and shoes and no where to put them!

  415. ”Love me some Lowes”

    I just moved into a new apartment and the second bedroom/office has become the storage room. Needed organization yesterday 😉

  416. Love me some Lowe’s!

    I would love to get some pull-outs to organize my pots and pans in my kitchen cabinets!

    Your desk looks great!

  418. Love me some Lowes!

    Our office is a disaster, and I haven’t yet found the motivation or the money to tackle it.

  419. Love me some LOWES!!! I want to organize my desk/craft area in the basement. It is a disaster zone!

  420. Love me some Lowes!

    Your desk looks GREAT! I love how you have so many little storage compartments, and the perfect amount of color! I would love to get my basement organized. It’s currently the dumping ground for all things unwanted elsewhere in the house, and I dread going down there. This might be just the motivation I need to get crackin!

  421. Love me some Lowe’s!
    I totally need to organize our desk are and our cloests
    Love from the south!
    Roll Tide Roll!!!!

  422. Love me some Lowes!

    I would love to organize our hall/bathroom closet. We live in a small, one story bungalow with very little storage space and I’d love to maximize what’s available in that closet. I already have it sketched out in Illustrator, just saving up for what we need now.

  423. Love me some LOWES! I’d love to organize our wet bar. We don’t drink much so the counter has become a dumping ground for everything we don’t have another place for.

  424. Love me some Lowes!

    I would love to give that giftcard to my parents so that they can figure out the basement situation. It’s a mess down there!

  425. Love Me Some Lowes!

    My entertainment area is in great need of organization! Our TV is sitting on a old chest, all the other electronics are on the floor, wires everywhere! It is such and eye sore! I need some help!

  427. Love me some Lowes. It’s the only DIY place to shop!
    My desk in the kitchen needs a support group. It is a pleaser and lets everyone take advantage of its lovely, hidden, flat surface.
    I would love to intervene with help from Lowes.
    Thank you.
    anita

  428. Love me some Lowes!

    I would love to organize some closets in our house, mainly our living room closet. It is a disaster. Also, I can’t stop staring at that sweet little picture of Will on your desk. What a sweet little boy! Annnnnd, your desk looks lovely!

  429. LOVE me some lowes!!!!

    if i could do it anywhere…..it would have to be in my laundry room/pantry.
    it needs some massive help!! i kinda sorta started with some dollar store bins to separate the food, but there’s just so much JUNK in there. and it’s all mostly above the washing machine/dryer. it’s a hot mess!!

  430. Love me some Lowes! We are in the process of putting together our nursery for our daughter expected to arrive early June so I would use it in there to help organize all of the baby stuff.

  432. Love me some Lowes!
    My kitchen desk area looks just about like yours. It could use some serious help!

  433. LOVE ME SOME LOWES!!

    Hubs and I walk into the back door of our new-to-us-but-100-year-old-house with mail, packages, shopping bags – you name it – and it end up on the dining room table. I would much prefer that table be used to eat meals together, and the pile o’crap doesn’t really facilitate great dinnertime conversation. I want to build a desk/buffet area in our dining room. Actually, to be honest, I want Hubs to build me a desk/buffet area and I want to paint and decorate it.

    Thanks for the inspiration!!!

  434. Love me some Lowes!

    I am currently decluttering and organizing my whole house, but I plan on redoing my kids’ rooms in the next few months so getting some organizational stuff for their rooms would be great!

  435. I don’t know how I missed the give away. Blonde moment.

    Love me some Lowes!! Is it weird to say I want to do it in the closet? My clothes, scarves, purses, etc are in desperate need of some closet organization.

  438. Love me some Lowes! Our house is small – and with a small house comes even less area to store things…like the mail. Our kitchen counter, office desk, kitchen table, etc, is often the home to heaps of clutter…which I hate. So, this money would go towards organizing our random everday papers…making a spot for it that looks good.

  439. ”Love me some Lowes” I would like to reorganize my closet, or bathroom cabinets, or maybe my kitchen. I just can not decide on one area.

  441. Love me some Lowes!

    The office portion of our office/nursery is in desperate need of some love, attention, and organization! I need to re-finish a bookcase that’s been halfway done for almost 3 years so that I can add it to the room and have somewhere to put all of my books!

  443. Love me some Lowes! Great job on the desk! I’d like to organize my basement, AGAIN. It’s only been 3 months and it looks like a drywall hurricane came through. Part of that includes having another baby, so I can get rid of the baby stuff I’ve been saving for 3 years. Don’t think Lowes can help with that last bit 🙂

  444. Love me some Lowes!

    I would work on the front hall closet. I would like paint in there, add different shelves and get a six cubie storage unit with boxes for each family member for hats/scarves/mittens/etc

  446. Love me some Lowes!

    Our “storage room” is a disaster. It’s the perfect example of what happens when you combine two people’s things into one house. All of my boyfriend’s “bachelor stuff” is in there–Corona signs, hideous furniture etc. I’d love to organize it so it could function as a room instead of somewhere to hide stuff..

  447. Love me some lowes!

    My storage building needs some help! No shelves or hooks so everything is on the floor. Between some bikes and a lawnmower, it’s full because we have some wasted valuable space off the floor. I know Lowe’s could help me out 🙂

  449. Love me some Lowes!!!!

    My ENTIRE house needs organization! Every room is full of partially finished projects. I need some moolah for inspiration!

  451. LOVE ME SOME LOWES!

    I have a counter between my living room/dining room that needs some serious love… kind of like your desk!

  452. Love me some Lowes!

    We have a coat closet that hasn’t been opened since moving in our house almost 2 1/2 years ago. I have no clue what to do with it but thinking taking the door off and leaving it open with hooks to hang things, shoe storage, and using it our main organization for our personal things that usually get left around the house!

    By the way, I LOVE your desk and all the design features you added!

  455. Love me some Lowes
    I REALLY need to tackle my kitchen. I have too many gadgets, and my pantry needs better shelving.

  456. Love me some Lowes. I have a bedroom that’s become a junk-filled
    storage room that needs to become a guest room pronto for guest who’s staying three months.

  457. Love me some Lowes!

    My computer desk. Ouch. I can’t even tell what color it is anymore and since it’s in our main room, it’s an eyesore for all to see. It greets you when you come in the front door, back door, or garage door. Front and center and messy. Thanks for the giveaway!

  459. “Love me some Lowes”
    My home office/art space closet needs a serious makeover.
    There is one small wire shelf in there. Enough said. 🙂

  461. Love me some Lowes!!!

    The hubby and I just bought a new (old) house…our first! The laundry nook is in desperate need of some organization attention!

    Love the finished look of your desk…very functional but stylish and put together at the same time. Great job!

  463. Love me some Lowes!
    I really want to tackle my linen closet. It definitely needs some cute bins and a new door!

  465. Before I go shouting out my contest entry lingo…. THAT IS THE BEST DESK MAKEOVER EVER. You’ve got SKILLZ when it comes to styling. Holy crap. I’m pinning away….

    Now… LOVE ME SOME LOWE’S! I would be tackling my closet. It is a terrible, terrible mess.

  466. Love me some Lowes!
    I would love to do it for my paperwork. I have about 5 years of papers to sort through. Yes, 5 maybe 6. I used to be really good at it I swear!

  467. Love me some Lowes!

    Just like you guys, my desk area needs some serious organization and some more shelves!

  468. Love me some Lowes. I am redoing our formal living room to be an office, it needs much help!

  469. Love the Transformation! Love me some Lowe’s also. I would also need to do some work on the desk area in our house. It’s a dumping ground for everything.

  470. Our “middle room” on the second floor is a catchall for everything without a home… it could definitely use some organization!

  472. Love me some Lowes! I want to do it under my kitchen sink. It’s where cleaning supplies, garbage bags, lightbulbs and other random stuff gets tossed. I think it’s about to explode!

  473. Love me some Lowes! I would do the exact same thing- organize my desk. But unlike you, my desk space resides in my bedroom so I need some major zen action in that disorganized mess.

  474. LovE me some lowes!

    I need help with my kitchen desk also! It’s the catch all for our life right now.

  475. Love me some Lowes!

    I’d love to do it to my entire house! But I guess I could probably start with the little piles of clutter that have accumulated throughout my living room. Love (and hate) organizing! 🙂

  476. Love me some Lowe’s!

    I desperately need to organize my laundry/extra storage room – also know as, our catch-all junk and miscellaneous room where we throw crap that doesn’t have a spot. It’s at the back of our house so I avoid it at all costs! Help!

  477. LOVE ME SOME LOWES! I want to do it in the garage! I clean/well-organized garage makes me just as happy, maybe even more happy, than a clean/well-organized house 🙂

  478. LOVE ME SOME LOWES!!

    My closet is a wreck! I recently bought storage shelves for the linen closet, and now every time I look at my clothes closet I want to run and hide! I could really use some shoe racks and more hooks to hang stuff up!

  479. Love me some Lowes, and omg I seriously need to do it in our formal dining room, which also doubles as my office! Ack! I am dreaming of building a window seat for deep storage (and so I can hide away my ugly printers, shredder, etc.) and then doing a wall of glass fronted bookshelves for books and my antique china. This is, after all, supposed to be both an office and dining room….and right now it’s a hot mess!! help help!

  482. Love me some Lowes!
    I would love to organize my basement. Yes, I am lucky enough to have one. Right now it stores all my “extra” house goods.

  484. Love me some Lowes!

    This is going to sound terrible. But, I’m going to say it anyway: I would “do it” in my girls’ room. Particularly their closet. They need some serious toy holsters.

  487. Love me some Lowes!

    I need to organize the closet in our master bedroom. We need some more shelving for all of my wife’s clothes and shoes!

  488. Love me some Lowes!

    My bedroom is a disaster, my husband is on a buying frenzy with his hobbies and then just leaves it on our bedroom floor.

  489. Love me some Lowes! My kitchen island needs help. It’s made of cubbies, but we don’t have boxes in all the cubbies, so the puppy pulls out gloves and magazines and has “fun”. Plus the top gets cleared off every Sunday, but by Monday night, it’s crazy again. Any ideas for keeping a clean space clean?

  490. Love me some Lowes!

    I would organize my husband’s “office.” It’s just a small little area off of our living room, in our teeny tiny apartment, that is now so cluttered it is spilling out into other parts of the apartment. I get annoyed just thinking about it!

  491. Love me some Lowe’s!!!!

    I NEED this. I clutter our kitchen table up like that every week. Evvvvvvv. errrrrrrrr. rrrrrrry. one. I have no toddlers to be swallowed. But I do have a very frustrated husband every week. And you know what happens? It SOMEtimes gets cleaned. And by that I mean, SOME of it gets taken care, of the rest? Stacked somewhere. Or stashed (as in, I just found the remainder of our Cmas cards under the couch.) Help.

  492. Love me some Lowes!! Our half bath is straight out of 1988, so many things need to be done to make it better.

  493. Love me some Lowes

    We need to organize our basement – and if you think your desk looked bad, it ain’t nuthin’ compared to our hole of a basement.

  494. Love me some Lowes! My laundry room needs major organizational help. It’s where we stick everything that doesn’t have a place- holiday decorations, tools, my baby’s bassinet, office files, memorabilia, you know it. Plus, it houses our water heater and furnace. It needs major help!

  495. Love me some Lowes!

    We’re moving into a new house soon, so there are many projects. However, we’ll have to adjust to the difference between our giant closet at our current place to less than half the closet space – that’s going to call for some MAJOR closet organization!

  496. Love me some Lowes!

    Our entire home office space is a mess! And our basement. And our laundry area. And our closets… oh boy.

  497. Love me some Lowes!

    Your space looks fantastic! My kitchen is in dire need of some attention. We have very limited cabinet space and no pantry in our 1927 home, so I’d love to add some additional open shelving and get all of my dishes organized! And maybe some in-cabinet organizers for the ones the we do have??

    The possibilities are endless around here, as my house needs lots of organizing!!

  498. Love Me Some Lowes! My bedroom has two closets, but I really only use one, so I converted the other to a little office nook. It desperately needs some organization

  499. Love me some Lowes!

    I have a ton of areas that I’m dying to organize in our home.. But I think the most coveted make-over area is a tie between the laundry room and my closet (nothing a penny can’t solve for me)! 🙂

    I LOVE your desk make-over. I think the giant picture of Will really makes that space – adorable!

  500. Love me some Lowes

    My closet desperately needs some help and so does my garage…but I’ll go with the closet =)

  502. Love me some Lowes

    I would love to organize the landing at the top of our stairs – it’s become a dumping ground for everything that needs to go upstairs (aka the junk you drop off in a mad dash to clean the downstairs for the people about to stop by) 🙂

  503. Love me some Lowes!

    I’m getting married this summer and we’re moving into a townhouse together – so pretty much every single room is going to need organization! Especially those where the boy’s electronics come in – God help me.

  504. Love me some Lowes! Our den/office is a disaster and could use some organizing help from Lowes!

  505. Love me some Lowes! I’d love to organize my bedroom closet. I need some shoe and boot space!

  506. Love me some Lowes!

    I really want to redo my home office. I need a bigger desk that actually fits me (I’m tall and my legs don’t fit under my current desk) and more organization. My husband has offered to build me a new desk with more storage and some more shelves. My goal is to have a place where my son and I can work side by side while he does homework and I supervise him and do other work.

  507. Love me some Lowes!! My kitchen is in need of some additional storage space and organization!

  508. LOVE ME SOME LOWES!
    there’s3-way-tie between my eating nook, my closet, and my laundry room…

  509. Love me some Lowes!

    I am a first time mom living with my hubs in a tiny 600 sq ft apartment. I would love some help from Lowes to organize baby things!

  511. Love me some Lowes!!

    I love Lowes!! When we first moved into our house I went on several trips by myself to Lowes just browsing the store for over an hour at a time so I knew where everything was. I still love going, even more than my husband, lol!! I would have to organize my two messiest closests in the house. They need some loving, they are the stash all for everything and anything! Your desk looks amazing btw, great job!!

  512. Thank you SO much for showing a genuine before picture – I think so many of us are pilers (we are, right?!) and so it’s fun to see how you tackled it! Awesome!

  513. Love me some Lowes! I would LOVE to finally have the kids’ toys organized. I’m so sick of walking on them!

  514. Love me some Lowes!

    My office/ storage area is a mess. At some point, oo the distant memories, it was organized. And then my obsession to Pinterest happened and that was all she wrote….

  517. Love me some Lowes! I need to organize the long hallway between my dining room and kitchen. 🙂

  518. Love me some Lowes!

    My closet is a disaster area… and so is my laundry area. And my pantry.

    Needless to say…. I could put a $100 from Lowes to good use with some new shelving and storage solutions. LOL

  519. Love me some Lowes!!!!! I just rearranged my laundry room, and took the doors off my pantry to use as shelves….. true story. So I really need help with baskets or something to hide all the stuff on the shelves, or I could use it to buy new doors for the naked pantry!

  520. Love me some Lowes!

    I would love to do it in my filing cabinet 😉 But seriously, it’s a mess! I need some organization in my life!

  521. Love me some Lowe’s!!

    My biggest spot for organizing will be our hall closet! I would love to add some drawers for added storage.

  524. Love me some Lowes!…… My daughter’s toy room needs help, would love shelves in there.

  525. Love me some lowes. We are about to redo our bathroom, which will need to be better organized but also, that outdoor light that you picked out, I’m getting two of those for over the two sinks in the redone bathroom! I’m glad to see it “in real life”. cute!

  528. Love me some Lowes! My entryway currently has zero organization except a sad lonely little shoe rack. It needs alot of love and attention from these days.

  529. Love me some Lowes

    We moved in to our new house 6 months ago and our poor office has been neglected. It needs some major organization in there!!!!

  530. Love me some lowes, & your organizing sapce!

    I would love to organize my kitchen & living room. It’s an open space and everything is just…in your face. It needs to be delt with.

    Thanks!!!

  531. LOVE ME SOME LOWE’S

    I would love to organize my husband’s desk. I finally moved all my stuff out of the study to my new craft room, but I left him with a bit if a sad mess.

  532. Love me some Lowe’s!

    I want to do it our home office! I want to do two things, but right now I will talk about organization. We just got married 4 months ago, so my husband’s office has gone from his office to our office, and it’s a disaster. It also houses dog crates. Lovely.

    Have a lovely day. The desk looks wonderful. Good job!

    Dig the burlap wall in Will’s room by the way!

  533. Love me some Lowes!

    Our garage is in massive need of HELP! Overflowing DIY crap, paint cans everywhere, who knows what is really in there.

  534. Love me some Lowes!

    our office needs some major work. it’s actually an office/guest room, but right now it’s like two separate halves – i’d love to be able to add in some “homier” touches to the office side like wooden shelves and a nicer (less industrial) lamp to tie back to the bedroom half…

  535. Love me some Lowes!

    I also need to make my at home desk a bit more functional for my photography biz needs. (Based on these similarities I totally think we should be friends). Hubster is the driving force behind the photography biz and he has a lovely studio to visit every day. I take care of all the client contacts as well as designing albums. My super cute retro desk barely fits the dual monitors and keyboard let alone all of the paper I constantly stack on it. Some shelves or covered storage would go a LONG way.

  536. Love me some Lowes!!

    My closet is atrocious…I can’t even find anything…so this would be amazing!!

  537. Love me some Lowes! To be honest the whole apartment is in need of some serious organization, but since I can’t make an extra closet appear out of thin air we definitely need a small desk and shelving to make a mini office area. I’d love it if we could get a new apartment with three bedrooms and turn one into a office/guest room. But I’d totally settle for a new office nook in a corner somewhere.

  538. Love me some Lowes! Especially if I could win and find a better toy solution for my daughter’s room that would allow me to rotate toys. Everything she owns out on the floor after a tornado play day is too much.

  539. Love your site Katie! This is my first comment ever, we bought a foreclosure in July and have been painting, re-doing, landscaping, and everything else since we moved in. It’s nice to read about someone in the same boat 🙂

    Anyway I really do Love me some Lowes! It is like my home improvement Target….I never leave empty handed! For sure with that $100 I would organize the master closet, right now it is a walk-in mess!

  540. LOVE ME SOME LOWES!

    I soooooo need to finish my office. We bought this home 3 years ago and I’m still deciding on things for my office. I finally found the office table I wanted at a great deal, but I need to pain it. So, getting this win would totally help!

  542. Love me some Lowes! I need help in many areas: my computer desk, my scrapbooking and photo area, even the bookshelf where we keep the Wii games and paraphernalia.

  544. LOVE ME SOME LOWES!!!

    I have teeny, tiny, peeling wallpapered, total eye sore of a bathroom that I use every. single. day. And every day I think, I really should do something about this mess. I am a renter, so I haven’t really been motivated to get ‘er done, but to prevent myself from going completely insane, I am hoping Lowe’s will HOOK A SISTAH UP!!! 🙂

  545. Love me some Lowes!

    My craft area/guest room is a hot mess — too much craft stuff and in the middle of a room remodel. I’ve tried bins that store under the bed but then I have to get them out, and it’s still a jumble. I need a new way that makes my craft stuff visible but still organized!

  546. Love me some Lowes!!!

    I need to organize my desk, bureau and pretty much every room since we moved and are looking to buy a new home. Sooo life is pretty much in disarray right now! Love lowes 🙂

  548. Love me some Lowes!

    Our guest room, laundry room and desk in the living room could all use some major organizational love!!

  549. Love me some Lowes!!! I need to organize our office. Its a tiny tiny room with an amazing amount of junk in it!

  550. Love me some Lowes! I would love to have some organization brought to my “Vanity” area…I need some organization for my makeup, jewelry and hair care, right now it’s just a blog of destruction!

  552. Love me some Lowes!
    I’d love to organize and move my desk/design area from my basement (can we say dark) to the prefect little nook in a spare bedroom (with plenty of light). I have a vision of chunky white floating shelves with plenty of space to organize!

  554. Love me some Lowes.

    My craft closet is a mess, all of my supplies are still in moving boxes (from a year ago) that I have to dig through to find anything!

  555. Love me some Lowes!

    We have the EXACT same challenge in our kitchen office! I would organize the heck out of that space with 100 bones. Crossing my fingers!

  561. Love me some Lowes.

    My closet is atrocious. I need to add some good storage containers, organize, and get rid of the old stuff.

  562. Love me some Lowes! I NEED to organize my pantry/supply closet in my kitchen- its a hot mess!

    Love the blog!

  563. Love me some Lowes!

    I need to organize the counter area in the kitchen. It’s a catch-all for everything: mail, cat stuff, cellphones, camera, etc.

  564. I love your titles, and good innuendos. They make me giggle.

    I can’t enter your little contest/giveaway (on account of me being a Canuck and all) but I do fantasize about doing it in the front closet, and my craft closet too.

  567. Love me some Lowes!

    My craft/spare bedroom needs some major love. It currently looks a lot like Sherry & John’s playroom. Don’t know where to put it? – Throw it in the blue room.

    Love the desk re-do! It looks so cute. And that picture of Will is gorgeous!

  568. Love me some Lowes!

    My office is badly in need of some organization – fortunately we have some motivation. My brother and a friend are going to be staying with us for a couple months so we’ll need two guest rooms and the office will have to stand in for one. Right now it’s the junk collecting room… yikes!

    Oh and I loved the photos of little Liam! His mom is my co-worker and when she said she was looking for a photographer, I mentioned she should check you out. Photos look great – glad she did! She said it was a great experience too!

  569. LOVE ME SOME LOWES!!
    I need this so bad. My whole house is one big unorganized mess and I think I would start the organizational clean up in the playroom where the toys are always thrown everywhere!

  576. Love me some Lowes!

    I would love to organize my office – right now it’s basically just storage and my desk has been relegated to the living room!

  577. LOVE ME SOME LOWE’S

    (…And I really do! They are my much-preferred choice in home improvement store. Great lighting; stylish shelves/ bins; fab outdoor pillows/ plants/ planters.) I wanna “do it” to my home office — that sad, small place I spend 8 hours a day with papers and clutter closing in daily. HELP!

  578. Love me some Lowes!
    I need to organize by cabinets so I don’t have to take all 12798 things out to find the one thing I need.

  579. Love me some Lowes!

    I have to admit that I have the same – can’t throw things away problem – as you. So with that being said I have at least six areas that would greatly improve with this gift card!

  580. Love me some Lowes, oh fo shoooo! Yep, that just happened. I’d love to organize my closet…she’s pretty crazy. Winter clothes, undies and hangers, oh my!

  581. “Love me some Lowes!” I would organize my kitchen!! It’s pretty small so things tend to pile up pretty quick on our scarce counter space!

  582. Love Me Some Lowe’s!!!
    and the spare bedroom which is hopefully one day soon going to be my craft room but has now affectionately been dubbed “the crap room”. Yeah…not so great and it seriously needs some love!!!

  583. Love me some Lowe’s!!!! (I even worked there in college!)

    And my house would love it some Lowe’s too, if I could get it organized! I’m currently working on our kitchen and our guest bedrooms! This would be perfect!

  587. LOVE ME SOME LOWES!

    My fantasy organizational spot is the laundry room! I’m actually gearing up to start building the “smiling mudroom” from Ana White’s online plans! This Lowes card would really help me out! Hope I win!

  589. first, love me some lowes!

    second, great job with the desk re-org! the shelves are great.

    third, my re-org project? the bedroom closet, it’s scary just to say that.

  591. Love me some Lowes!
    Totally want to do it in the closet. And the guest bedroom. And the pantry. I want to do it everywhere…haha The closet in particular though, my shoes are in a big heap and could really use some organizing!

  593. Love me some Lowes!
    We’re moving our laundry into the basement to make the 1st floor laundry into a mud room with lockers. Cool idea… but we need some organizing magic to make it all happen!!

  595. I’d “Love me some Lowes” if it could help out with my hot mess of a laundry room! I have no shelves or organization in there and everytime I use my washer or dryer I have to act like an acrobat to reach behind said appliances to retrieve the detergent. I’m desperate! Help me out Lowes and I’ll show you some real Valentine lovin’!

  596. Love me some Lowes!

    Where do I begin?! I have been freaking out about the hot messes ALL over the house. Hang out room closet, junk drawer in the kitchen, under the kitchen sink and bathroom. I could make this $100 go far!

  597. Love me some Lowe’s!!!

    I have a closet with all of the extra junk (gifts for others, extra votive candles, board games, every random thing in our house). I absolutely HAVE to organize it soon because it is driving me crazy!

    By the way, the desk looks amazing! I love the pops of green. I am using it in my house also and am beginning to think it is my new favorite color.

  599. Love me some Lowes!
    I would love to organize our office. We have a desk in there, but that’s about it & everything is in piles…on top of the desk!

  602. Love me some Lowes!

    We’ve been in our house for a little over a year and our office and kitchen could both use some organization.

  604. Love me some Lowes!

    I would love to add shelves and baskets to our coat closet to help store some of the toys our 14 month old has!

  605. Love me some Lowes!

    I really, truly, need to organize my bedroom. Ever since I moved in years ago, I’ve never put anything away. Clothes in boxes, piled on random things….. there’s even an air conditioner on the floor lol.

  606. Love me some Lowes!

    I wanna do it in my basement. Right now, its really just a big (finished) storage place. I want to make it another usable space in my house!

    LOVE this blog!
    Erin

  608. Love me some LOWE’S!!

    That is a true statement for me, I LOVE Lowe’s. The area I most want to do it in is my laundry room/mudroom/catchall/the room I am most embarassed by in my home.

    Pick me, pick me please!!!

  611. I also LOVE ME SOME LOWES! I need to reorganize my home office and my kitchen desk area.
    Thanks for your ideas.

  612. Love me some Lowes…We need to do some major organizing in our home office. It is a struggle!

  613. Love Me Some Lowes.
    I’d do it in the closet. You know being a girl is awesome because the clothing choices, accessories, and footwear. Then come the impulse buys that goes along with shopping. The last thing on your mind is how to store and organize it all.

  614. ”Love me some Lowes”

    The bedroom closet. I’ve been meaning to clean it out when I had a couple days off for Christmas… then New Years… and now I’m not sure. I have a nine month old and his crib is in the bedroom, so nap time cleaning is out. And I can’t keep him occupied with his toys long enough to do it while he is awake.

    You think Lowes will let me borrow an employee to babysit?

  615. Love me some Lowes…My kitchen closet is quickly spiraling out of organizational control, I would love to somehow give it some structure!

  616. Love me some Lowes!
    I would love to get my master bedroom closet organized! It’s driving me crazy!

  619. Love me some Lowes! Our guest room has become our junk room… which is a problem when your house only has four real rooms!

  620. Love me some Lowes

    I would love to have more shelves in the laundry room and I’d like to put shelves in the bathroom cabinets, since just about everything in there is short and I want to be able to use more of that space.

  621. Love me some Lowe’s. I would love to tackle the huge stack of pictures just waiting to be framed and hung up. I think it would totally clean up the stack of clutter in the living room.

  622. Love me some Lowes! I have an entire room ready to be finished so that we can have a classroom to do homeschool in next year. It doesn’t even have walls or electrical yet, so it’s a HUGE project! Can’t wait to get it done, so I’d LOVE to win!! 🙂

  623. Love me some Lowes!!

    I would love to finally organize our mess of a guest room/office.
    I want to make it more lovable for guests and also function nicely as an office.

  624. ”Love me some Lowes”

    My filing/desk area is a pile of paper that needs major sorting/organization.

  626. That desk re-do looks awesome!!

    Love me some Lowes!

    I would definitely put some organization to the awkward “we don’t know what to do with it, so we store stuff in there” room!

  628. Love me some Lowes! My guest bedroom is in major need of some organization! It’s a multi-functional space that I need to make look clutter-free.

  629. Love me some Lowes!!

    Ugh my dining room needs major orgainzing! Would love to finally NOT have tons of stuff on the dining room table. Maybe even finally eat in there!

  630. Love me some Lowes!!

    Ugh my dining room needs major orgainzing! Would love to finally NOT have tons of stuff on the dining room table. Maybe even finally eat in there!

  631. love me some lowe’s!

    i would be elated to finally organize our study since the absolute ONLY thing that we don’t do in there is “study.” we store extra canned goods, throw the ironing board in there, use an old microwave cart to store batteries, stamps, etc. but we don’t really use it, and i would LOVE to create a space that we use. love, like really love.

  633. LOVE ME SOME LOWES!

    My hall closets need an intervention…its our go to place for all of our clutter! So we stuff dvds, cleaning supplies, linens, baby stuff, basically everything into our poor little closet!

  634. Love me some Lowes!

    I would love to finally orgainize my dining room. It would be great to finally NOT have tons for papers on the table. Maybe we could even eat in there!

  635. LOVE ME SOME LOWES!

    I either want to do it in my closet, or the coat closet. Or maybe the closet in the utility room. Guess I have a thing for closets! 🙂

    Nice job, BTW. LOVE the shelves and the light. everything, really!

  636. LOVE ME SOME LOWES! My husband’s desk is forever a disaster zone… like with multiple piles of paperts randomly strewn about on the floor… It’s time for a change!

  637. We’re only allowed to pick ONE room we need to organize? Oh boy…this is tough. 🙂 I would say our biggest organizing thorn in our flesh is our coat closet. There’s all sorts of scary stuff in there, and I have big dreams of one day cleaning it all out, adding a fun stenciling detail to the walls and finally corralling all those scarves, mittens, hats and gloves into some sort of basket or bin.

    Love your shelves, by the way!

  638. Leave me some Lowe’s!

    We’re in the process of turning our guest bedroom into a nursery so LOTS of organization help is needed here.

  639. Love me some Lowes!

    I would love to organize my studio! Your new workspace looks so great – love the fixture & the pops of color, & that mega-clock!

  640. Love me some Lowes

    I would love to organize our kitchen. Period. We have junk drawers, drawers that have every kind of serving wear all over, cabinets with spices that I know are in there, but can’t find, and sippy cups EVERYWHERE. It begs to be organized.

  642. Love me some Lowes!!

    I want to do it everywhere!!!! We just moved across the country and pretty much have nothing except stacks of stuff on the floor.

  644. ”Love me some Lowes”

    Craft closet is a hot mess. I know that I could find some remedies at Lowes!

  645. Love me some Lowes! My home office/desk area is in serious need of some help. Pretty sure it could rival your “before” hot mess!

  646. Love me some Lowe’s! I really really need to get all my craft stuff organized…in a bad way. Thanks for the opportunity to win Katie!

  647. Love me some Lowes! Our “drop it” area by the garage door needs some organizing. There’s always a pile of keys/phones/mail/etc.

  648. Love me some Lowes!

    My craft area is in need of some good lovin’…I try to keep it organized, but with new stuff coming in, it’s hard!

  653. love me some lowes!

    i would love to be able to do my office, i did empty the room to try to get some inspirations. love your blog!

  654. Love me some Lowes! I would tackle our master bedroom closet. Whoa, it’s scary in there. We need shelving and storage ASAP.

  658. Love me some Lowe’s

    I would reorganize my bedroom closet. Its a big mess with clothes, shoes (of course), bills, pictures, and whatever we can’t find a place for.

  660. Love me some Lowes – I would love to clean up the big gap where a dresser should be in my apartment!

  663. “Love me some Lowes!”

    I would love to organize my craft room! It kinda becomes a catch-all for things with no home.

  666. Love me some LOWE’S!!

    Hubby & I need to do it in the garage! It’s totally become his ‘man cave’ and there are tools & motor parts & chunks of muddy GA clay EVERYWHERE. We have some cheap-o plastic shelving units in there now but, we’d LOVE to install some permanent, heavy doodie, wood shelves along the larger wall.

    Great job doing it on your desk 😉 Looks fantastic!

  667. Love Me Some Lowes!

    I would love to do it, in the mudroom. We have two school aged boys and all of their backpacks, coats, gloves, hats, boots, shoes…and a variety of other items always end up on the floor. Despite having hooks on the wall it doesnt seem to help.

  668. Love me some Lowes! I totally want to do it in my breezeway. It’s basically a hallway that connects our garage to our house. It’s about 7′ wide and 20′ long. Lots of space in there to do it. Lots. 😉

    Thanks for such an awesome giveaway! Have a great weekend!

    Emily

  669. Love me some lowe’s!
    With two of us working from home, our office is in dire need of some organization!

  670. Love me some Lowes!

    I would love to have to tackle the pantry. I am pretty sure there are items squished back in there a decade old. . .

  676. Love me some Lowes!

    I would love to organize our pantry. It is in desperate need of a working light so I can see what the heck is in there and then get it all organized!

  680. Love me some Lowes…

    We are expecting in September and the office will now be the nursery. I am turning an area in the spare room into a desk area. I would love to do it there!

  682. Love me some Lowes—would love, love, love to organize our kitchen/laundry room/bedroom–um ya, our whole house. 🙂

  683. Love me some Lowes! And LOVE me some organization! I have a desperate need to find the floor in my hoarder room!

  685. Love me some Lowe’s!
    Where do I start? Pantry…kitchen counter…kitchen desk…office…bathroom…plasticware cupboard…

  686. Love me some Lowes!

    On top of my bedroom dresser (lotions, perfume, jewlery, etc) AND my linen closet!!

  688. Love me some Lowes! My desk needs some help as well . . . but man if I don’t have to get all the stuff in the attic and basement under control!

  690. Love me some Lowes! Two words: Mud. Room. I wish mud was the only thing being tracked into this room, but alas, it is overrun by everything we every bring into the house.

  692. Love me some Lowes! And I have a bedroom that we’ll actually be needing come July that is full of boxes from our move 3.5 years ago that needs some serious attention (organizing + better storage solutions). Pick me, pick me!

  693. Love me some Lowes!! Oh how I love them! The fact that they are practically in my backyard is such a wonderful thing~However, it would be nice to have a little extra funding to de-clutter and organize our office space…It is in dire need of organization and a facelift!

  694. Love me some Lowes!

    The office really needs organizing! It’s gotten so bad that when I’m “organizing” my mail, I just walk in the room and toss it to the left if it needs to be shredded or toss it to the right if it needs to be filed! So bad!

    Your desk looks SO good! Great job. 🙂

  695. Love me some Lowe’s!

    My office is a disaster it could be my perfect room, unfortunately the floor in there looks like the before of your desk …a good dropping place.

  696. Love me some Lowes!!! I would love to do some major organization in our room. Putting up shelves, baskets, etc.

  697. Love me some Lowe’s!

    I want to do it on a desk, too! Lots of piles on the floor right now that need a home!

  698. Love me some Lowes

    Our office needs some love, it holds everything we don’t want to deal with/ don’t have space for.

  699. Love Me Some Lowe’s! I’d love to do it in the laundry room (or I should probably say laundry “closet”). We just moved into a 1920’s bungalow, and our storage space is minuscule! I have several organization projects to tackle while my husband is deployed over the next year, and this is high on the list.

  700. Love me some Lowe’s! I’ve been dying to do it in the corner of my kitchen…my husband hasn’t agreed yet 😉 Our paint supplies, baby junk, shells from beach vaca, etc. are all there! ugh

  701. Love me some Lowe’s! I’ve been tackling my 10 yr old daughter’s bedroom for the past month, we live in a 2 bdrm and her room has her bed, books, all the american girl doll rooms she built her self, her sewing machine and art supplies. She’s a little DYI goddess and organizing all her interests is always a challenge. I need all the help I can get!!!

  704. Love me some Lowes!

    The garage, always the garage! No matter how many times a year we clean out, sweep up, get rid of, donate, or recycle…it always goes right back into chaos 😮

  705. Love me some Lowes!

    My husband and I currently share an office (his side for work stuff, my side for crafts and sewing). Unfortunately, it’s has become the catch-all for anything and everything. I’d love to organize it!

  706. LOVE ME SOME LOWES!

    My office needs some lovin, it’s pretty horrible. Can’t even walk in the door some days, so organization would be ideal – maybe even a combo giant closet-slash-office!

  709. ”Love me some Lowes”

    I would use it for my dining/calligraphy/mail/reading/puzzle area

    We live in a small house, which I love, but that area of the house has a TON of uses! I’d build shelving with some molding around the dining table so as the fiance and I are done with what ever activity we’re doing we just just put it away!

  710. Love me some Lowes! I’d also like to get my desk area organized! We need some shelving/storage too!

  711. Love me some Lowes
    My garage is out of control. It seems to be where everything goes when its in my way.

  712. Love me some Lowe’s. I would love to use the gift card to organize my girls closet. Way too may small toys and doll clothing I have no idea where to start.

  714. ”Love me some Lowes” – My breeze way is in desperate need of help. It’s a dumping ground for doggie supplies, shoes, outdoor toys, receycling and anything else I feel the urge to shove out there and ignore at a much later date!

  716. Love me some Lowes!

    Right now my whole house needs some major help. We are trying to make room for baby #2. The current project is a dresser that will provide some much needed storage in our living room!

  718. LOVE ME SOME LOWE’S!!

    I would love to start organizing our ‘library’ room! It’s basically a pile of books and other ‘stuff’ we don’t have a place for!

  719. Love me some Lowe’s! I just got a new desk in our new office, in our new house. I’m psyched to get my blog, bills, magazines, camera, and computer stuff organized!

  720. “Love Me Some Lowes”

    My favorite to do it right now is the basement. Slowly but surely it’s taking shape =D

  721. Love Me Some Lowes!

    My office is a disaster… Not only does it need to house two computers, but I also sew and have various other craftiness going on. It has a huge closet, which would be nice to house all of the stuff currently stored in plastic bins and stuffed onto the small bookcase in the room if it didn’t just have 1 shelf and 1 hanging rod. It needs to be built out and soon before I lose my mind, if not my creativity.

  722. Love me some Lowes! I need need need some help converting our office into a nursery and relocating all the files, bills, even our printer into another room even though every other room is completely full of other useful things. HELP! My deadline is June when baby is due!

  723. Love me some Lowes!!!!
    Our hallway pantry needs some major TLC in the organization department. Dog food and the crockpot shouldn’t share shelf space 🙂

  724. Love me some Lowes! Desperately need to do it in the office “shove anything behind the curtain” closet. Still have moving boxes from a year ago hiding in there…

  725. Love me some Lowes!

    We live in an apartment and have ZERO extra storage (including no pantry and no linen closet) so our guest room / guest room closet is a drop all for anything extra (picture a bed piled with clean towels and scrap book paper and other various crafts). I would love to add storage in the closet so I actually have a place to put things!

  726. Love Me Some Lowes

    My guest bedroom/office needs some major help the in way of organization.

    Your kitchen desk turned out awesome 🙂 I love the different finishes and color scheme!

  727. Love me some Lowe’s! I’ve been dying to organize our laundry room – it’s on the main floor and it’s just got too much stuff!

  728. “Love me some Lowe’s”

    I’m in desperate need of some organization in my spare bedroom. My husband and I live in a 2 BR apartment, work on 2 different schedules and are on a very tight budget. I HATE clutter so everything ends up stacked in the spare room. It drives me insane and it’s gotten to the point that I don’t even want to open up the door or allow guests to stay in that room. Everything is stacked (and teetering, yikes!) on the dressers, bed, and desk…not to mention the stacks of boxes along the wall. I want to get rid of things but I get overwhelmed and don’t know where to start. Help!!

  730. Love me some Lowes!

    My spot is the linens closet, everything gets stuck in there, forever, it’s a disaster!

  733. “Love me some Lowes”

    My office closet is a disaster. It needs major organization and now!!!! Help please!!!

  734. LOVE me some Lowe’s!! I’d take a cue from you and organize this pretty new desk I just built! The surface of it is pretty now, but all my junk is hiding underneath. Some shelves & new lighting (a la Katie!) would be totally in order!

  736. Love me some Lowe’s in the powder room. I need some shelves, baskets, etc. Just did a reno and it needs some accessories. Thanks, Katie. You crack me up. Also, I’ve never left a comment before, but I homeschool my boys (6! – did she say 6? yes, she did.) and it’s been great. One at college, one about to head out. So that’s 2 down and 4 to go! Do you have too many kids if you number them? 🙂

  738. Love Me Some Lowe’s

    My guest bedroom/office could use some major help in the way of organization.

    Your kitchen desk turned out awesome! I love the different finishes and the color scheme!

  739. Love me some Lowes!

    My boyfriend just built me a craft room in our basement and it desperately needs some shelving/ baskets/ organization of some kind.

  740. What an improvement! Well, I guess anything would be a step up from just dropped off stuff, eh? 😉 But no seriously, it is cute! (Can organizing be cute?)

    Love me some Lowes! I would totally organize my desk/sewing area. They’re all one now, which doesn’t really work out for either activity! But…. I might have to send you a picture so you can give me ideas. My sense of organizing is rubbermaid tubs filled in the garage with all the stuff from said area. :S I’ll definitely need some Bower Power help cleaning my area up!

  741. Love me some Lowe’s! Our closets and laundry room need shelves. Your work area looks great by the way!

  742. Love me some Lowes! I have a hall closet that stores all my workout gear, which includes all my swimming/biking/running gear for triathlons and well as yoga stuff and all my clothes for the gym. I’m currently using a couple really not functional shelves that I freecycled when I moved in because I didn’t have anything else. I could definitely use some shelves, bins and other organizational inspiration!

  745. Love me some lowes! My husband and I are downsizing to a studio apartment this year while he’s finishing school and we’re in need of some ways to organize our things and make better use of a much smaller space than we currently live in. It’ll be worth it though! I’ve never commented before but I love your blog, I read it and yhl everyday and house decorate vicariously haha.

  746. Love Me Some Lowes! My craft room has one small path from the closet to the door. I need some help organizing it. 🙂

  750. Love me some Lowes
    Our office/guestroom is a huge hot mess of junk that I would love to organize!!!

  752. Love me some Lowes!

    Where don’t I want to do it? That’s a much harder question…….
    I would definitely use the money to organize my laundry room. It needs some l.o.v.e.

  753. Love me some Lowes!
    You’ve inspired me to beautify my desk too. But when I win, it is all going to help the pit that is my laundry room!

  754. Love me some lowes!!

    I’d totally do it on my desk as well! AKA…I’d get a desk to do it on as the only place we have our laptop is on the couch and it’s slowly driving me insane and making me crippled from hunching all the time. So…Desk…

  755. Love me some Lowe’s!
    Its a toss up between my son’s toys, that are taking over the house, and our tiny master bedrrom closet.

  756. love me some lowes! the closet that we call an ‘office’ is in some serious need of organization!! and the garage, and the kids rooms…and the kitchen. who am i kidding? i need my whole house/life organized!!

  757. Love me some Lowes!

    Im getting married and moving in 5 months…. so basically ill be doing it everywhere, organizing that is…. 😉

  758. Katie B you are awesome, thanks for being you 🙂 My husband and I are gearing up to DIY a desk inspired by your dear friends over at YHL and Lowe’s is our go to spot, gotta love me some Lowe’s!

  760. Love me some Lowes!
    I desperately need to organize my bathroom vanity situation. It is a hot mess… please love me some Lowes!

  761. Love me some Lowes…

    Our garage is a hot mess. Really. Between my husband’s 2018409582 pieces of sporting equipment and storing everything that won’t fit in our townhouse, it’s like a tornado hit. Did I mention it has to function as parking and our “laundry room” too? Yeah, it’s awful.

  763. Love me some Lowe’s!

    Would love to organize the catch-all closet off our kitchen. It is home to cleaning supplies, folding chairs, extra paper towels, light bulbs – you name it! It needs some Lowe’s lovin’!

  764. love me some lowe’s!

    Would love to organize our closet. The shelving that came with the house is next to useless… re-doing it all would be fabulous…

  766. I Love Me Some Lowes Indeed!! My best friend and I just started our (for right now) dream jobs! We have a booth in a local thrift store and we couldn’t possibly be more excited! I can’t wait to get in there and organize and make it our own! We are thrilled to make this new venture!

  767. Love me some Lowes! The garage needs help. It’s an organized mess, but needs a cleanup for sure!

  768. Love me some Lowes!

    Our drop area are the shelves in the dining room and our kitchen table. They are typically covered with mail, tools, bags, receipts and other junk. It drive me nuts but any time I get it under control it springs back to crazyness.

  769. Katie, the desk organization looks great! It makes me want to fix up my workspace. I had everything organized when we moved in, but over the past few years, things just get thrown on the desk or just stashed somewhere because I’ve run out of places to put things. So, I guess this goes without saying: Love me some Lowe’s! Some storage organizational items could really help me out!

  770. Love me some Lowes!

    I desperately need some master bedroom closet organization. And by “master” bedroom, I just mean the one we sleep in… it’s not especially masterful or much larger than the adjacent bedroom. And by “closet” I mean 4′ wide hole in the wall that was labeled a closet by the realtor. Help!

  771. Love me some Lowes!

    I would organize our terrible spare room/storage/hub’s “office.” So much junk in there that hasn’t been used/looked at/thought about in almost 2 years.

  773. Love me some Lowes!!

    I would love to organize my small utility room, add storage and a pantry area.

  774. Love me some Lowes!

    Our whole house is a disaster (we moved in 6 months ago) but I’d say my top priority is to organize our storage area. We are storing a lot of stuff that I know we don’t need and it would be great to be able to find the stuff we do want!

  775. Love me some Lowe’s!

    My master closet is the hottest mess on earth right now. I could really use some intervention in the form of a $100 GC. 🙂

  776. Love me some Lowes! The entryway table is covered with mail, scarves, purses, charging station. It’s always a massive pile of stuff.

  777. Love me some Lowe’s!!

    Lowe’s has been a huge part of our new house! We’ve been living here just about a year. The next area to organize–turning our upstairs into an office and lounging area.

  781. Love me some lowes. We live in a 1 bedroom condo with a 90 pound dog and a bunny rabbit. Our pet stuff area needs some serious help!

  782. Love me some Lowes! We could definitely stand to improve the organization of our master bedroom closet. 🙂

  783. Love me some Lowes!!!

    Its such a toss up! The boys/guest bathroom, or my office+desk+craftroom+the hurrykidsthrowwhateveryoucanintheroomandlockthedoor room

  785. Love me some Lowes!

    I would love to organize my office closet. We took the fugly doors off to open the space, with plans of adding shelves to keep paper and stationary supplies overhead, and our printer and scanner below. But we never did and we’ve been in our new house for almost a year. There’s just a bunch of boxes and an IKEA TV console shoved in there…and no doors to hide it all!

  787. love me some lowes!!! I need to organize our mail – which lands on our entryway console. INSANE!

  788. Love me some lowes!
    I wanna “do it” in the garage, and our desk area could use an overhaul. Our desk area looks a little like yours, only imagine a desktop computer being buried under there, with a path carved out to the mouse and keyboard!

  789. Love me some Lowes!!

    I am dying to organize our entry way! It’s a complete mess from school work, papers that need to be signed, back packs, husbands paperwork everything! And it’s driving me crazy!!

  790. Love me some Lowes!

    We would do it in our living room, specifically the DVD organization, or lack thereof. Right now we have a too small shelving rack that worked fine when we got married 7 years ago, but now it’s got movies piled on top, and movies in a basket on the floor and well, you get the picture.

    Great job on the desk. I’m feeling inspired!

  792. Love me some Lowes!

    There are two places I’ve always dreamed of doin it…but the first and foremost is the laundry room, for the obvious reasons. 😉 Hahaha. In actuality, we have a nice little laundry room but it’s completely lacking in any functionality. No shelves to store detergent, no place to place folded clothes or lay out delicates. It’s in need of some MAJOR organization.

  795. Love me some Lowes!

    Our hallway desk/office is in desperate need of some organization — I’d love the Lowes gift card for that!

  796. LOVE ME SOME LOWES!!!

    I would love to organize the guest room. I have crafts stuff in there with no organization at all!!! Love your before and after of the desk area!!!

  797. Love me some Lowes!

    My home office/guest room is in major need of some organization! Love your shelves and fancied up desk.

  798. Love me some Lowes!!!

    Does “whole house” count? I need to organize our office & closets- there’s stuff still in boxes from when the fiance moved in… a year an a half ago!!! Embarrassment.

  799. Loves me some Lowes!

    My fantasy organizational spot?? Um…ALL OF THEM! We just finished building our house and are very busy adding shelves to all the closets. We are starting storage from scratch. I guess I would have to pick our office area because it’s out in the opened in the living room.

  800. Love me some Lowes! I work full-time and take classes for my Ph.D. part-time, so I would LOVE to be able to organize our study room… dissertation writing is just around the corner!!

  801. Love me some Lowes!! I could really use some organization in our laundry closet. It has become a dumping ground for anything without a home.

  803. Love me some Lowes! Every paper, coupon, key, mailer, and bag gets stuffed in one of my kitchen cabinets. With very little storage space and no office, things feel like they are closing in. When the cabinet is full, it moves to the counter, when that is full it moves to the table. I seriously need to do some organizing!

  804. Love me some Lowe’s! (I totally put that phrase as my name at first…)

    I don’t think I can narrow one specific area down to getting organized. I’ve actually just started to organize my entire house, but I think I would mostly like to get a better grip on my bathroom closet. I coupon, so I have lots of extra shampoo and conditioner, razors, deoderant, etc.

  809. Love me some Lowes!!

    I need to organize my pantry. Actually it’s more like plastic shelving in the middle of the kitchen 🙂

  810. Love me some Lowes!

    I need help pretty much everywhere, we moved into a fixer upper and everything needs help… but my dream would be to start of with the laundry room. It needs some organization in the worst way!

  812. Love me some Lowes!! I have a spare room that needs to act as a office/guest room but is now acting like a two year old tantrum. Definitely next to tackle…

  814. ”Love me some Lowes” I LOVE your desk area! You did an awesome job. Can you do a breakdown of the prices too? I love the clock, lamp, orchid …everything! I wish I had a desk area in my kitchen. Anyways our coat closet is in desperate need of a makeover. That’s what I would probably do with 100 buckaroos 😉

  815. Love me some Lowes!

    I would love to have some shelves to put in my own kitchen. With hardly any cabinet or draw space, some shelves to put items would be really handy 🙂

  816. Love me some Lowes! I would do it in the bathroom! Really, no shelves and just a pedestal sink. I am desperate for some organization.

  819. “Love me some Lowes”….My basement laundry area is in bad need of some organization. Everything that I don’t know what to do with upstairs ends up down there.

  822. Love me some Lowes :)!!!! I dream of finally organizing our entryway table/storage area. I just throw everything onto it everyday and its a totaly disaster in need of some serious TLC!

  823. Love me some Lowes!

    I need to organize our entry desperately badly. My husband just let me know that we didn’t have to worry about intruders since they would trip on all the shoes by the front door. I know this requires buying cute things to put stuff in and on. I will accept your mission.

  828. Love me some Lowes!
    There are quite a few places that need organizing, but the worst has to be our garage… we sold some things last weekend that helped, but man it’s a wreck in there.

  830. Love me some Lowes!!! My craft/sewing room need help. Right now it is a table with a sewing machine and shelves full of odds and end and a closet that I am afraid to open the door.

  831. LOVE ME SOME LOWES!!! I need organization in a lot of different spots but mostly in my office. Lots of fabric/ribbon/sewing machine/monogramming going on in there. It usually looks like a fabric warehouse has thrown up.

  832. Love me some Lowe’s!

    I definitely need to give our “Room o’ S**t/Office” some attention.

    ps…love your transformation!

  833. Love me some lowes!!

    I need to work on organizing our spare bedroom, which has become a dumping ground for everything without a place.

  834. Love me some Lowes! I’m getting married in May and combining my apartment and his house will require more organization that I have!

  836. LOVE ME SOME LOWES!

    We have so many areas to organize! We purchased our home in April and there are many spaces to figure out… no linen closet so we could really use a storage solution in the bathroom, we are also expecting our first baby in June so we will be moving guest room furniture into our office. It will be very interesting trying to organize the space to function as both an office for my husband and a guest room for the visitors that we get on occasion. The nursery closet could use an organization makeover as well.

    I absolutely love how your desk turned out. So pretty!

  837. Love me some Lowes!!! I need to organize all the closets and the children’s rooms… soon.

  838. Love me some Lowe’s!
    I’m dying to do some organizing in my clothes closet – ahh, it would be so much more relaxing in the morning to be organized and to see what’s actually IN there! 🙂

  842. LOve me some Lowes!

    I would love to do it in our desk area. We just moved into an apartment and lost our storage space. And we’re on a tight budget because we still have a house.

  843. Love me some Lowe’s!!!

    I’m not sure if there is a room in our house that doesn’t need organizing!! But, the biggest problem is the garage…it’s kind of like your desk times 100!! I would like to be able to park a car in it someday! LOL

  844. Love me some Lowes!

    I would do it, in my office/livingroom space.
    It is seriously an area where things go to get all dusted up and die.
    No matter how many times I go through and weed out old magazine clippings, boxes of goldfish and piles of glitter it just regenerates.
    I my desk is such a hot mess I can’t even use it!

    Would love to win, obviously!
    Your make-over is amazing – love the light and shelves!

    Thanks for hosting 🙂

  846. Love me some Lowes!

    There are way to many spaces to choose from…but I would have to say my bedroom!

  848. Love Me Some Lowe’s!
    My kitchen cupboards and cabinets are Martha’s nightmare. Hurts my eyes to look in them.

  849. Love me some Lowe’s.
    I need to do it on my son’s toy box. It’s currently a cardboard box on top of an ottoman. And he likes to chew on cardboard so it’s not ideal.

  851. Love me some Lowes!

    my desk is exactly the same – literally unusable at the moment. to use my sewing machine to make bean bags for my baby’s 1st bday party last night, I had to move piles of papers, an Easter basket, and some pottery (?!) to the FLOOR. it is time.

  852. Love me some Lowes! My fantasy spot would be in our walk in closet! That thing is crazy crowded and unorganized!

  853. Love me some Lowes!

    I would *LOVE* to construct a bookshelf or cubbies to organize the kids’ toys in the basement–it’s a madhouse down there!

  855. Love me some Lowes!

    I would love to organize my office space too. I’ve been saying I will get to it, it’s been a year…

  857. Love me some Lowe’s! I really need to organize our home office. It could be so much more functional. Your desk looks so much better! Maybe that will inspire me to do some organizing.

  858. Love me some Lowes!

    Well, I’m sort of like you in that I need desk organization, but my main problem is that my desk is sitting in my storage room needing to be painted and the junk is ALL OVER MY HOUSE. At least yours was corralled in a specific area! I am in desperate need for a way to organize papers. I have papers everywhere! In piles! Just laying around! Missing, even. It’s not good and I need a kick in the butt to sort them out.

  861. Love me some Lowe’s!!

    I would LOVE to be able to organize my office/guest room/everything else room. Disaster!

  862. Love me some Lowe’s! The storage cubbies in our closet desperately need to be organized. We moved in 7 months ago and they’ve just been collecting paperwork and odds and ends since!

  864. Love me some Lowes!
    I would love to open the door to the “junk room” and see a functional guest bedroom someday.

  866. Love me some Lowes! I would love to tackle my laundry area. I have an itty, bitty shelf that hardly holds my Tide, and there is lots of room for more storage space! Hope I win!!

  868. Love me some Lowes! I moved into a small space and have no place for mail and other desk items that just clutter the mantle, bookshelf, and dining room table now. It’s driving me crazy!

  869. ”Love me some Lowes”

    I’d love to organize the office, which is becoming the nursery. Our first child is due in August!

  870. Love me some Lowes!

    I would love to organize our media area- right now everything is piled in baskets and finding things is next to impossible!

  871. Love me some Lowes! 🙂

    I would love to organize my hallway trainwreck (AKA closet) … so much potential … so little funds! 🙂

  872. Love me some lowes! I really need to organize my sewing room closet… things fall out at you when you open the doors!

    I love your little space!

  877. ”Love me some Lowes” I would LOVE to organize the closet in our guest bedroom — or our pantry! Trust me they both need some lovin’!!!

  878. Love me some Lowes!

    I would love to reorganize our office/ dogs room. We are both in school and desperately need to make it more conducive to our schooling. Your desk looks cute!!

  880. Love me some Lowes!

    My attic needs to be cleaned desperately. We just threw everything up there when we moved in and never got around to fixing it.

  883. Love me some Lowes!

    We have a desk in a dark corner of our living room that’s crying out for attention. Hot. Mess.

  884. Love me some Lowes! I would love to “do it” aka “organize” our office slash music room slash craft room. It really needs it. It is like an obstacle course just to walk in it.

  889. Love me some Lowes!

    I should really do it in the bedroom… Organize that is! In fact, I would love those exact shelves.

  892. Hey Katie,

    I almost fell of my chair reading that post, ‘cuz I have the exact same elephant ( for$1.50 at the Sally Ann – the Canadian version of Goodwill)! I use mine as a plant holder in our master bath.

    Since I’m north of the 49th parallel I can’t say “Love me some Lowes” (even thought Lowes is now on our side of the border as well?!), so instead I’ll say “I love our elephants”.

  893. Love me some Lowes!!

    I would love/desperately need to organize my laundry room, while also housinh all of my DIY tools. Soooo much stuff, so little room!

  895. ”Love me some Lowes”

    I’d like to organize:
    My kitchen mail counter, my boys playroom which takes up half of our livingroom, my desk… I don’t know where I’d start but I’m sure Lowes can give me some options!

  897. Love me some Lowes!!

    I would really like to get some supplies to build a desk, being a graduate student the budget is tight and I could really use my own work space!

  898. Love Me Some Lowes! I would so use the $ to add shelving, peg board, and a ironing board holder to the utility closet. It is a hot mess right now!

  900. Love me some Lowes!

    Also, I love the desk. The balance is wonderful, as is the lamp and new light fixture. You have a great eye for detail.

  901. Love me some Lowes!

    I am dying to organize my guest bedroom. It was our computer room until baby came, and now it’s a catch all room. You can’t even see the desk under the foot high pile of junk on it!

  907. Love me some Lowes!!
    I would love to win…maybe that would be the swift kick I need to finally organize my office/spare bedroom.

  910. Love me some Lowes

    I need some major help in our office. The desk has no storage, everything is getting stuffed into the closet or piles on the desk. Yikes!

  912. Good job!! It looks so much better!

    ”Love me some Lowes” – I need to organize my garage! Seriously it is a huge mess. We have shelves but there is no organization to it whatsoever. We have bikes everywhere, balls, tools, junk, etc.

    Thanks for the giveaway.

  913. “Love me some Lowes”

    As inappropriate (and funny) as it sounds, I’d really like to do it in my sons’ room. It could use some organization – two babies + 1 room = A LOT of stuff!

  915. Love me some lowes!

    I would love to do it in our office! Photographer and musician junk piled everywhere. Help!

  916. Love me some Lowes…

    I would like to “do it” under the desk in my bedroom. And maybe, if get really lucky, in my coat closet too. Woop whoop! TWSS!
    Seriously though, I have boxes and bags of books and papers from 3 years of graduate school stacked under my computer desk in my bedroom. Please note, I have a laptop and it mostly resides on my kitchen table. The top of my desk is clear but I can’t even push the chair in because of the boxes of poorly-hidden clutter.

    My coat closet tries to hide my bill boxes and various bags of clutter like birthday cards, craft supplies, gloves, glue sticks, printer paper, scarves. Everything.

  917. Love Me Some Lowes!!

    My desk area needs some major help too!! It’s the pit stop for everything when we come through the front door!

  919. Love me some Lowes!

    I definitely need to tackle our bonus room. It’s a landing spot for everything that doesn’t have a home (furniture, lamps, and tonnsssss of random “stuff”).

  920. Love me some Lowes.

    We all have those spots in our house. Our entire front room could use some organization! That’s where the money needs to go.

  921. Love me some Lowe’s!

    Like you, we are trying to conceive baby no. 2, so naturally I’d like to do it on a desk as well. That is…the desk in my nook of an office could use a little organizational love too.

    Love what you did, btw!

  926. Love Me Some Lowe’s!

    I have a little 10×10 bedroom that we use as a guest bedroom, a schoolroom (we homeschool), and an office. I would LOVE to organize that room better!

    Great job on your desk – looks awesome!

  929. Love me some Lowe’s! So many places to do it, so little time 🙂 – but mainly under my bathroom cabinet and my desk area in the living room.

  931. Love me some Lowe’s! My guest room closet desperately needs organization before all my Christmas decorations topple down on top of some unsuspecting visitor!

    P.S. If Lowe’s is on Pinterest, does that mean there is someone out there whose job it is to pin things for Lowe’s? That might be my new dream job haha.

  933. Love me some Lowes.

    I would do it in the kitchen. We moved recently and my kitchen stuff from the old house just doesn’t fit right in this one. I need to get on that.

  934. Love me some Lowes!

    Your desk area looks great! I have a junk room upstairs that needs to be turned into an office, and a bathroom that needs a facelift. I’m overwhelmed by both.

  935. Love me some Lowe’s!

    We need to do some serious reorganization in the office…which will need to be a nursery in a few months!

  936. Love Me Some Lowes!

    I would love to reorganize our garage – it’s the place where we throw everything we can’t find a place for!

  937. “Love me some Lowes”

    I feel very blessed that I have a walk in closet in my bedroom, but the previous owners stripped it down to the bare minimum (one high shelf and a single bar). So what clothes are in there are all over the place and the clothes I really wear live in the laundry room. some added shelving & another bar would be a great start!!

  938. Love me some Lowes!

    I would love to finally get my craft room/corner organized! It is currently a huge mess of paints, fabrics and miscellaneous junk that could really use some love!

  940. Love me some Lowes! I want to do it in the pantry! 😉 Love Love Love your Blog by the way….awesome ideas, and you are so down to earth!!

  941. LOVE ME SOME LOWES!!! I would love to do it on my desk…..it is big and wooden… and messy. 🙂

  942. Love me some Lowes! I really need to organize my bedroom closet…since we’ll be having a baby in June, my husband will need to move all his stuff from the spare bedroom closet into my closet in our master. Sharing would be much easier if the closet was more organized! =)

  945. Love me some Lowes! Our spare bedroom has been dubbed the “scary room,” perhaps for obvious reasons. I would love to turn it into a usable, organized craft space!

  949. Love me some Lowes: I would organzie the HECK out of my laudry room craft work station! My laundry side is perfect by my crafts side looks like Howard Hughes lives there!

  950. Love me some LOWES! There are many areas I want to organize in my home. But I think I’d put the money toward better shelving in our bathroom. It needs help!

  952. Love me some Lowes!
    I love what you did to your kitchen desk! It looks sooooo much better! I too have a cluttered kitchen desk right this very moment. Its full of all things useless, important, to be saved for sometime later, and now, forgotten. I would love to use my gift card to spruce up my kitchen desk and declutter!

  955. Love me some Lowes!

    Our basement is one big storage room right now, definitely needs some attention.

  958. Love me some Lowes!

    I have a 3rd bedroom/office that is a big hoarder room right now. It definitely needs a little organization!

  959. Love me some Lowes!

    My baby boy is suddenly into all-things-on-wheels, and I’d love to organize his plethora of planes, trains and automobiles into a toddler-sized garage! Some place to wheel those puppies in and get them out of sight. $100 would go a very long way toward building that kind of contraption. Thanks for hosting this giveaway!

  960. Love me some Lowe’s! I have two dump spots I need to organize – the kitchen table and the top of a dresser we keep in the living room.

  963. Love me some Lowes!!
    The bedroom a.k.a. my husband’s new office. Talk about an organization disaster. 🙂

    Also, love your blog!

  964. LOVE me some lowes! I have been itching to get my closet organized for almost a year. When we moved into our town home the closet situation was less than desireable..I need to get in there an get rid of all the stuff I don’t wear or use anymore and get everything remaining into a nice organized spot.

    Katie, I also am OBSESSED with elephants. My friend is getting married in 2 months, and after I heard some stories about elephants bringing luck, I’ve planned some special little additions to her bouquet and her gallery wall in honor of these lucky little (big) guys. Fun fact..elephants shown with their trunks up are especially lucky.

  965. Love me some Lowes! Where do I begin? We need shelves for the office area in our bedroom, something for behind the couch once the treadmill gets moved, shelves in the kitchen and bathrooms, and a new bookcase! The money would be well spent in this home! 🙂

  966. Love ME some LOWES!

    I’d like to do it on the desk in our guest room. It’s hard having a workspace and bedroom all tied into one, and it is in serious need of some organization!

  968. Love me some Lowes!

    I need organizing help in my basement and my laundry area, which is also a part of that space.

  969. Love me some Lowes!!!

    I also have the “abominable desk” issue! When I can find it, it’s a super cute white desk with matching shelves and a white cork board under the bottom shelf. Although right now it is currently a disaster of on-hold craft projects, piles of journal articles, and anything else I’m generally avoiding… NEEDS FIXING ASAP! 🙂

  970. Love me some Lowes!

    My boys’ bedroom needs some organization. They’re big into Lego and they’re creations need a place to be displayed. Thanks, Katie!

  971. Love me some lowes!
    My kitchen island needs some pull out drawers so can utilise the space more effectively. My closet needs some organisation too. Love this post!
    Thanks.

  973. Love me some Lowes !!!

    My office is a mess, I need drawers, shelves to hide everything from the toddler that loves to eat paper lol

  974. Love me some Lowe’s!!! I’d LOVE to have the help of a Lowe’s gift card to organize two spaces: our office and nursery. It’s currently one of those “can’t do one without doing the other” catch 22’s. Thanks for the giveaway!

    BTW, LOVE what you did with your space! Genius!!

  976. Love me some Lowes!

    I’d love more organization (and cuteness) in my laundry room! It’s definitely not looking very pretty!

  978. Love me some Lowes! I would probably organize our guest room– unless our guests decide they like sleeping under piles of books and hoards of boxes and wrapping paper!

  980. Love me some Lowes!

    I seriously need some organizing love in my combination sewing/fly tying/guest room. Yup, trying to stuff a lot in there, and right now it looks ten times worse than your “before” desk, if you can believe that. Yikes.

  982. LOVE ME SOME LOWES!!

    I have a super cluttered guest room closet/craft overflow and it definitely needs some organization!

  983. Love me some Lowes!

    Our guest bedroom is in need of some serious organization! It’s my craft supplies dumping ground!

  985. Love me some Lowes! I want to do it everywhere! Seriously, my whole house in need of some MAJOR organization. I have a 21 month old whose toys are taking over, so it would most likely be dedicated to organizing little areas so my house stops looking like Toys R Us. Slash a hoarders quarters. PS your desk is amazing!

  986. love me some lowes! xoxo!

    the question should be more like what DONT i need to organize! I have an issue with the desk in our living area. While the top of it is clean (read: empty), the drawers are so full I can’t even open them. Out of sight out of mind, right? NO. It drives me crazy!!! Help

  987. Love me some Lowes! I love buying organizational supplies! Unfortunately they never seem to work and the house is still a mess 🙂 Right now I am working on organizing my craft room, but the master bath needs some serious organizing as well.

  988. Love me some Lowes!

    My Laundry Room desperately needs a total storage makeover! From gift wrap to cleaning supplies it needs help! Thanks!

  991. Love me some Lowes!

    My laundry room could use some love…right now theres a shelf above the washer & dryer and I’ve been piling stuff up on it. One day the avalanche of sheet sets, laundry detergent, paper towels, and painted canvases is going to knock me out and put me in the hospital. One day. Not today…hopefully.

  992. Love me some Lowes! Headed there today for some wallpaper removal supplies. Also need to organize under my sinks. Your desk redo looks awesome!!

  994. Love me some Lowes! My entire home office! It looks almost exactly like your before desk except that it is in a 7×13 room! ahhh I just try to never walk in their with the light on.

  995. Love me some Lowes! I think my bedroom closet is the worst disaster these days…although with a puppy coming next week, my whole house will be in shambles!

    Great job on the desk! I used to have one in my kitchen that I could not keep clean for the life of me! It was very small and kind of awkward looking so we ripped it out and just put a baker’s rack there. But it didn’t solve any problems because now my messes are just scattered in different areas! I love what you did with yours though and the shelves above really tie it all together!

  996. I would like to build shelves in our garage to get it more organized – my wife’s holiday decorations are taking over!

  997. Love me some Lowes! We’d love to have that gift certificate to tidy up the microwave and coffee bar area in our kitchen…I’d use the money to buy some supplies to make shelves for my coffee pot and coffee mugs.

  998. Love me some Lowes!
    I’ve always thought the office is the one place in the house that would end up being the most organized- kind of because it has to be— but our office is in rough shape [empty walls that are screaming for some vertical storage solutions, papers everywhere, a closet that has boxes stacked on one another in with no clear purpose, etc] and this could be the kick in the butt to tackle it 🙂

  1001. Love me some Lowe’s! (And I do, literally. My last name is Lowe.)

    Anyway, I would choose to organize the MOUNTAIN of toys and stuffed animals that my son has. They are threatening to take over the house!

    Thanks for the wonderful giveaway.

  1002. Love me some Lowes!

    I think our pantry needs a big overhaul. We have tons of shelves, even cabinets…but I use it as storage for so much (food, baking stuff, grill stuff, etc.) that it needs some help. You did a great job with your desk!

  1003. Love me some Lowes! I’ve been pining over some of these fabulous, organized closets on Pinterest lately— would love to sprice ours up!

  1005. “Love me some Lowes”

    I would do it in our Junk Room, yes that’s right, we have a whole room designated for MY junk. We had a baby in August and we packed up and left directly from the hospital and moved to a new home (home improvement project to be more accurate). Its been 5 months and my solution to my nagging husband is to redistribute my junk around the house and eventually to the “Junk Room”. Our daughter is almost crawling and my junk room needs to be organized into her new toy/play room! We would love to buy/make some new organizers with help from Lowes.

  1006. Love me some Lowes!!

    Im moving my son in to a big boy room and I need to redo the closet so it works for clothes, books, toys and all his other treasures.

  1009. Love me some Lowe’s!!!

    I would love to organize our kitchen. Like the Bower’s, I have an area right next to the fridge/microwave where I pile coupons, bills, recipes, grocery lists, pens, etc. I would love to be able to actually put all this stuff in the cabinet above and create a concealed behind the cabinet organizer.

    Katie – where did you get that little elephant above the microwave? I LOVE elephants (went to Univ. of Alabama so I think that’s where my obsession started). I mean just check out this Pinterest board – http://pinterest.com/shelbyklivansky/elephants

  1011. Love me some Lowes! $100 would go a long way toward revamping my laundry closet…yes, just a closet, but with some added shelving, hooks, and pretty baskets/bins, it would be much more functional.

  1014. Love me some Lowes!!! (I was just there this morning!)

    I have a “craft pile” of all my stuff that I use to DIY things piled up on this too small table in a corner of my office. I am dying to get a cabinet, paint it, put a top on it, throw some open shelving on the wall and make a pin board to hang over it for inspiration pieces. Must get un-lazy and do it! Of course $100 towards the cause would make it a LOT more motivating!

  1015. Love me some Lowes! I was just looking at the mountainous mess in my half of the office area last night. Of course, my half of the office is my craft area 🙂

  1017. Love Me Some Lowes! It would have to be my loft. It is toys mania with four kids 5 and under. It needs some organizational help. Thanks!

  1019. Love me some Lowes – I am totally obsessing over putting together a “command center” in my entrway to keep all those incoming and outgoing papers in one place, coralling homework, keys, etc, and just haveing a lovely place to put some pictures, artwork, and keepsakes for viewing right as you walk in the door 🙂

  1020. Love me some LOWES!!!!

    We enter our house through the garage that leads us right into the dinky laundry room. There are four of us in our family, two adults and two children, but by the shear number of shoes you might think 20 people live there. I need a way to get my laundry room organized so I don’t feel overwhelmed. Where do you put the laundry baskets, cleaning supplies, coats and shoes & boots in a small 9X9 room. Please help me get the place organized so I stop worrying about how messy it is!!!!!

  1022. Love me some Lowes!!!
    I desperately need to clean off and organize my peninsula in our kitchen. It holds everything from the mail (from a month ago), to unfinished projects, cat food, etc. It’s a hot mess…

  1024. LOVE me some LOWES!

    The kiddos toys need some good lovin’!!! They are overtaking the living room!

  1025. Love me some Lowes!
    Our garage realllllly needs some organization! Maybe one day we could actually fit a car in there! Wishful thinking….

  1026. Love me some Lowes!

    Each day my kitchen is hit by a toddler tornado! Between cooking meals, washing dishes, and sweeping, my kitchen also endures smushed playdough, swiped finger paint, pieces of crayons, and the inevitable cabinet of plastic containers emptied out! It would be so nice to reorganize my kitchen to create a more efficient space for both myself and my son.

  1027. LOVE ME SOME LOWES!!!!

    Our entry closet/coat closet needs a SERIOUS makeover!! It’s an organizational nightmare. It desperately needs new shelving and a door that actually fits the frame…the current one is about 4 inches too short leaving awkward space at the top and bottom!

  1030. Love me some Lowes!

    My entire house; over the past two years we’ve lost our guest bedroom and office area due to our growing family! Bills, recepies, magazines, important papers and the laptop no longer have a dedicated space in our house!

  1031. love me some lowe’s!

    I would LOVE to organize my bedroom/office! They are in one room, so organization is definitely necessary.

  1034. Love me some Lowes… Our office. We’re cleaning out the hubby’s hoarded crap (seeling some on ebay and donating the rest) and then we’ll install shelves, a custom desk and make it a shared office. 🙂

  1035. LOVE ME SOME LOWES!!!!!!

    we just added a pantry in my house and I need some organizational help!!

    love your desk – love your blog.

  1037. Love me some Lowes!

    My sewing/craft/scrapbooking space that currently resides on all three floors. Yes, it’s supposed to be all in one room but seems to have thrown up every where else. It needs some serious attention!

  1038. Love me some Lowes!! Desperately needed for our office/exercise/keep-the-door-closed hoarding room. 🙂

  1039. I absolutely Love me some Lowes! I need to organize our home office. My husband works from home, and that room is constantly a disaster!

  1043. Love me some Lowes!

    We are trying to organize our home office. We use the small room which has lowered, angled ceilings and a narrow space. I cannot seem to find any desks that would fit into what I am looking for so I am thinking of taking the plunge and making my very own desk. Scares me though since I have never made anything before!

  1045. Love me some Lowes!!

    We have a spare room that looks like something exploded in there…it needs help!!

  1046. Love me some Lowes !!! We are buying a new house and I’ve never had a garage before I feel like we are going to be in for a shock when we try to organize it and fit two cars!

  1047. Love me some Lowes…and I’d love to do it in the basement! My husband and I are always talking about but just never have the energy/motivation to do it…organize 🙂

  1048. Love me some Lowes!
    We have to organize our office because we’re moving it to make room for our first child – nothing like a deadline to make something happen!

  1050. Love me some Lowe’s! Great desk transformation, Katie. I could use some more organization in our office. It’s too easy just to close the desk drawers & live by the adage “out of sight, out of mind.” I should do some work in there today, actually….

  1051. Love Me some Lowe’s!!!

    My studion could use a little help in the organizing department!!

  1053. LOVE ME SOME LOWES <3

    I would love to get-er-done in a little nook in our master bedroom. Every room in the house is either for babies, or potties…. so I need a "space" to call my own! 🙂

  1054. Love me some Lowes!

    I want to do it in my kitchen! I live in a 100 year-old house, so the floor plan is a little…interesting…when it comes to the kitchen. I have a galley kitchen that has most of the appliances and a huge square kitchen where the stove is (and nothing else). I’d love to put something in there and make it a little more functional!

  1055. Love me some Lowes!

    I definitely need to do it in my closet! Yikes! Haven’t touched that room since we moved into our house 17 months ago!

  1056. Love me some Lowes! I would love to be able to organize my sewing/craft area! I might actually do more sewing:)

  1057. LOVE ME SOME LOWES! Our home office/guest room needs a LOT of help! There’s so much crowded into one room that we’ve got to get it organized.

  1059. Love me some Lowes!

    My foyer needs some organization! It is the catch-all for purses, shoes, backpacks, etc. and looks terrible since it is right when you open the front door!

  1063. Love me some Lowes!! My desk area is almost as bad as yours was!! Also, did you add knobs to the drawers or am I seeing things?

  1064. Love me some Lowes!! We are in the middle of a bedroom renovation and we need to organize our new closets!!

  1068. Love me some Lowes
    I would put it towards my craft room/ storage room or the laundry room. Both spaces are in serious need of help.

  1069. LOVE ME SOME LOWES!

    I’d love to organize my laundry room. How much more crap can I get into that 4 x 5 room along with the washer and dryer!?

  1071. Love me some Lowes!
    We have the same problem with desk clutter. It’s just placed on my desk and desperately needs to be organized. It’s getting so bad that it’s now invading a section of the room where my desk is.

  1072. Love me some Lowes!!

    I need to really organize the Mail Area of my house. It is just piled up like crazy and I need to really have a system in place. If I can get it to look half as good as your desk, I’d be happy. Great job! …and thanks for the opportunity!

  1075. Love me some Lowes…my desk/craft area could use some major organization I have everything from old textbooks to pictures to fabric all competing for the same space. It would be so nice to get some organizational tools so everything can have it’s own personal space 🙂

  1076. Love me some Lowes!!

    I think my craft table upstairs could need some addressing…it’s MESSY, very MESSY. It’s upstairs & out of site…hence the neglect.

  1078. Love me some Lowes! I would love to organize our office/guest room. It looks like something straight out of Hoarders….without the filth and cats. We moved into our house a year ago while I was pregnant and it became the place where all our homeless items went to live. It’s a little scary and a lot overwhelming and I need to do something about it pronto!

  1080. Loves Me Some Lowes!

    I’ve got a spare room that I’m working toward setting up as an office. I store all my paperwork junk in there so I really need a good organizational plan for all of it. 🙂

  1082. Love me some Lowes!

    My hall coat-slash-shoe-storage-slash-holiday-storage-slash-bike-accessory-storage-slash-dump-spot is in desperate need of some org. It’s just too convenient, I use it for stashing EVERYTHING!

  1083. Love me some Lowes! i would love to organize my basement workspace (someday i’ll get to it!) and my garage! i love organization!

  1084. Love me some Lowes.

    I want to do it in my closet. It is a mess and my side is taking over my husbands.

  1085. Love me some Lowes!

    My scrapbooking desk. I need shelves. And paper boxes. And cubbies – lots and lots of cubbies!

  1086. Love me some lowes…

    my living room needs some organization, there is no hidden storage anywhere.

  1087. Love me some Lowes.

    I need to do a little oraganizing here and there. I could definitley use some shelves and Lowes is the place for that.

  1088. LOVE ME SOME LOWES!!!!!

    Our office needs some major Lowe’s love!! It has turned into a whole room of ‘putting down’ stuff! YIKES!!

  1089. ”Love me some Lowes”
    I am impressed! I also have a disaster area of a kitchen desk, though periodically make it presentable (by shoving the junk into the cabinets above).
    The major place I want to organize is our bathroom — it is in desperate need of an intervention. Or of owners with less stuff. We have a few ideas of how to organize it — like roll out drawers, medicine cabinet, built-in tall cabinet. Help us with our hot mess!

  1090. Love Me Some Lowes!!!!!!!!!!!!! I could so use some organization in my entry way, a nice bench, some hooks for “stuff” and some sort of storage would be great for my two kids’ toys!!

  1091. Love me some Lowes!

    I need to declutter and organize my whole house but especially my bedroom! They say, “a place for everything and everything in its place,” but not everything has a place yet! Plus I need to learn how to place things on a shelf like you have so it looks like I know what I’m doing! Ok, one more exclamation point!

    Love your new organized space. 🙂

  1092. Love me some Lowes!

    My bedroom closet needs an overhaul, stat. The disorganization in there is starting to give me convulsions.

  1094. “Love me some Lowe’s” My kitchen counter and desk are in desperate need of organization. This would be such a fun prize.

  1096. Love me some lowes!!!

    I could use some serious help in my master closet- it is where things go to hide- and I have been avoiding organizing because it is just too overwhelming. Maybe this

    would help kickstart the project!!!

  1098. Love me some Lowes,
    Our “playroom” has engulfed the entire house. something must be done.

  1101. Love Me Some Lowes!!!

    We could really use some organization all over our tiny house, but mostly in the kitchen.

  1102. Love me some Lowes!

    We are building a built-in desk in our office, so I would like to organize my new desk!

  1103. Love me some Lowes!

    The closet in our guestroom needs some serious help – its filled with stuff we haven’t used in 2 years, making the closet useless for our guests. I should probably get on that soon!!

  1104. Love me some Lowes!!

    I’m working on organizing my house right now, and it would be awesome to have a little extra help in the laundry room. It’s a hot mess right now!

    Also, I love elephants. It might be less like love and more like obsessed but don’t tell my husband I admitted that! 🙂

  1106. I would “Love me some Lowes” in my homeschooling room. I have text books, art supplies, paper, paper, paper that needs ORGANIZING!!

  1108. Love me some Lowes! My craft room/office/guest bedroom definitely needs some organization! Right now it is just a catch-all for everything I don’t have a place for, but since it is a multi-purpose room, everything definitely needs it’s own place!

  1109. Love me some Lowes!

    Our boys room is in dire need of “something else” for the toys – our present plastic bins aren’t cutting it!

  1110. Love me some Lowe’s! I need to organize/create an office in my new house, because right now it is a bookshelf with a printer on it and an ironing board, with all of our office supplies and files in the basement.

  1111. Love me some Lowes! Our guest room/craft closet could really use an organizational overhaul. I’m afraid to open it for fear of wrapping paper attacking me from above.

  1112. LOVE ME SOME LOWES!!
    I would have to say I’d use it on our bathroom. We moved into an older home and 5 of us share 1 (very small) and a half baths. It could use some better storage and lighting. Just to jazz it up.

  1113. LOVE ME SOME LOWES!

    *They were the only company that made time for us and worked with us after our house flooded during TS Allison.

    *We gotta do something about our master bedroom closet!

  1114. Love me some Lowe’s!

    Our home office (although not in our kitchen) also needs some major organizational love. My desk has been in the garage for 6 months waiting for a coat of paint (oops) so everything is a hot mess!

  1115. Love me some Lowes….
    My kitchen peninsula needs some serious help. It is definitely our “put it down” place.

  1116. Love me some Lowes
    My bathroom- We just moved in and we want to redo the bathroom and redo the weird storage. It’s so bad I can’t store ANYTHING in there right now!

  1117. Love me some Lowes!
    I was there just yesterday 🙂 I need to organize my garage; and my laundry room; and my bedroom; and my boy’s room; and set up a nursery for the new baby…I have a lot of organizing to do.

  1118. Love me some Lowes!!

    Hands down the basement storage closet. It stresses me out just thinking about it!

  1120. Love me some Lowes!

    This summer my husband and I made our own custom desk for our finished basement… it’s supposed to be my office and craft nook…however it has since become a dumping ground for randomness that doesn’t fit anywhere else! It MUST be organized!!

  1122. Love me some Lowes!

    Katie, the desk looks fabulous! Our home is in some serious need of organization as well… we’re expecting our first baby in 8 weeks. Which is super exciting, but it means my once-was-a-craft-riim is now the nursery and all my crafting supplies have been jammed into the closet. It’s a disaster!

  1123. Love me some Lowes!

    My office/guest room is in serious need of some organization! I have big plans for it, just trying to execute them!

  1124. Love me some Lowes!

    I have the same problem you had. My desk is horrifying. I’m a hobbyist photographer and it’s become my spot for bags, lenses, manuals, etc., but half the time I can’t find what I’m looking for.

  1125. LOVE ME SOME LOWE’S!

    We have an office/guest bedroom which desperately needs some love so that it looks like either a bedroom with a desk or an office with a bed, but not like our local waste landfill.

  1128. Love me some LOWES!!!!! DUDE. I totally need/ want to organize my boys’ room! Number 2 is going to be here in 6 weeks. So, this couldn’t come at a better time! COME ON, LUCK! 🙂

  1130. love me some lowes~
    well i’m literally in the middle of about 10 projects at my house so i guess i’d throw it towards the #1 project on my list and that i’m smack in the middle of, turning my 6 yr old walk-in closet into a “play closet” 🙂

  1131. Love me some Lowes!

    The tiny closet outside our bathroom that needs to function as extra bathroom storage, extra kitchen storage, and as a linen closet – but currently just has random stuff shoved in that likes to fall out whenever I open the door – could really use some organization. Oh…and the big hole in the back from when we had to cut through the wall to get at the pipes for our shower (so we didn’t have to knock through the tile on the shower side of the wall) could probably stand to be patched over as well. Sigh.

  1132. Love me some Lowes!! Haha… girl, I’m in the same pickle with our home office/bedroom corner. It might grow arms soon enough just to start throwing paper piles at me. :/

  1135. Love me some Lowes!

    I work from home and my office in desperate need of a new life! It is currently the catch all for extra furniture and junk.

  1136. ”Love me some Lowes”

    I would organize my craft stuff. My sewing items are organized, but my craft items are in a pile on the floor of the spare bedroom. EEK!

  1137. Love me some Lowe’s!

    We bought a new house and we are in desperate need of some storage in our office and utility room!

  1138. Love me some Lowes!!

    Our office is also in a terrible state! It is a disaster area and needs a lot of Lowe’s love 🙂

  1139. love me some lowes!
    my bedroom is overflowing w/ my clothes and shoes. we have a half converted garage room that i want to turn into a huge closet/boutique. 🙂

  1141. Love me some lowes!
    It would be a toss up between my kids toys or my office. I need major help with both!

  1143. Love me some Lowes! My entire dining room needs to be organized, so far things are still in boxes from moving…7 months ago. But if I take it out of the boxes it will just be on the floor, help!

  1144. Loves Me Some Lowes!

    My dad is always doing home improvement stuff and gardening. I’d LOVE to get him some cool organization stuff for all of his tools !

  1146. Love me some Lowes

    I want to organize my shed. It’s in dire need of some “tidying up” and is definitely on my to-do list for this year.

  1148. Love me some Lowes! Our office currently looks more like a junk room. It needs some organization SO badly!

  1150. Love Me Some Lowes

    What a transformation of space! Your desk is freaking gorgeous now!!!!

    I too would like to throw some money towards organizing my kitchen. My wine needs a place to live other than in boxes on the floor 🙁

  1151. Love me some Lowes– like you, my desk is messy- well, the card table I am using for a desk– the Lowes card could get me where I need to be desk wise!

  1152. Love me some Lowes.

    My mail/junk area in the kitchen needs some major help!

    p.s. so glad I am not the only one that likes the phrase, “hot mess”. I use it to much that my daughter (2) turned to her Pre School teacher a week ago and said, “I a hot mess”.

  1154. Love me some Lowes!

    I would love to get my basement organized. It’s a mess down there right now and it makes me a little nutty!

  1158. LOVE ME SOME LOWES – My sunroom has been the “crap-collector” for too long…whenever I don’t know what to do with something – throw it in the sunroom… It needs to change. Now.

  1160. ‘Love me some Lowes”

    I have an entry way that you can hardly enter! Desperate for some organization! Not the most appealing thing to walk in the door to!

    -Riki

  1162. Love me some Lowe’s! Our tight, little mudroom is often a disaster. There’s so much in that room that could be organized!

  1164. Love me some Lowes!

    I’d definitely like to organize our basement. We need a work space and a place to store our canning equipment and the jars upon jars of goodies!

  1168. Love me some Lowe’s!

    I am knee-deep in trying to organize our playroom/office and am struggling with trying to mesh the two.

  1170. Love me some Lowes!

    Wow, Katie Bower, I am IMPRESSED! Are you sure you didn’t just shove all your mess in a box and move it for the pictures? Just kidding.

    I am in the process of organizing everything in our house, but could definitely use some more organizing “stuff” in the playroom or office.

  1173. Love me some Lowes!
    Our entire house needs reorganizing! There is a desaster area in virtually every room: unfinished projects, clothes to iron, to mend, to fold, to clean, to whatever. Top priority right now: our closets!
    Love your blog! So entertaining.

  1174. Love me some lowes! I desparately need to organize my walk in closet. We moved in to our house 2 weeks before my baby was due and my “helpful” mom unpacked and “organized” all of my clothes in my closet. A year later, everything is still how it was when she unpacked it, not at all how I would have ever done! Please lowes me!!

  1175. Love me some Lowes! I would love to turn our current office/junk room/exercise room into a bona fide office with shelving and bins and a bigger desk. $100 would definitely help with that goal!

  1177. Love me some Lowes

    I would love to add some shelving to the garage or in my new little girls bedroom!

    Your desk looks wonderful!

  1179. LOVE ME SOME LOWES!!!!

    I would love to reorganize my laundry room. That would be amazing!

  1180. love me some lowes! i could really use it for my closet. right now my sweaters are just in a heap on the floor of the closet!

  1186. LOVE ME SOME LOWES!!

    Our office is a disaster zone – or the craft/holiday decoration closet could use some big time help!

  1188. Love me some lowes!

    My daughters room needs some serious organization–her closet first of all.

  1189. Love me some Lowe’s!

    I would do it in the garage. I know my husband would love to do it there, and I wouldn’t mind either 😉

    I think your desk turned out great; it even looks amazing with the toothpaste wall color.

  1192. Love me some Lowe’s! Especially since my baby sister works there…and cool tidbit….her store just got chosen to volunteer for the last episode of Extreme Makeover Home Edition!

    I would love to reorganize my kitchen cabinets. We just got a new set of cabinets and it looks much like your desk space! It needs major help!

  1196. love me some lowes! 🙂

    the main place i need to organize is my craft area- which is essentially my stationery business to your photography area. and i tend to do the SAME thing as you. ‘put it down’ and save it for later. the hubs loves it (not). three cheers for your organized space now.

  1198. Love me some Lowe’s!

    I really need to organize the baby’s closet. He has a huge closet and it’s so full of junk that we can’t even keep his clothes in there! How can I teach him to be neat when his closet is such a disaster?

  1200. Love me some Lowes!
    I have the exact same kitchen-office problem that needs some organizing and definition, not that I don’t love bills all over my counters staring me down 🙂

  1201. Love me some Lowes!
    It’s a toss-up between my closet and my junk drawer as to which needs more help.
    Love your desk redo!

  1202. ”Love me some Lowes” – I neeeeed to organize my closet! I have a huge long closet in the master bedroom but it only has a lame hanger bar on it. No shelves. Nothing. It needs some serious help

  1204. Love Me Some Lowes!

    I’d do it in the Living room. Things just seem to collect on the end table and coffee table. I need to do something about a place for mail and magazines and any of the other 100 things that pile up in there. Organization is what I need, especially in a small apartment. I need to maximize my space.

  1206. LOVE ME SOME LOWES!! I would love to have my own craft room, with bolts of fabric organized by colors/patterns. And a huge antique dresser with lots of drawers!

  1208. Love me some Lowes! I have a sad little craft corner that is in desperate need of some organization.

  1209. Love me some Lowe’s!

    I really must organize my whole house! I’d probably start with our home “office,” aka the epicenter of time suckage and papers.

  1212. Love me some Lowes!

    I would love to organize my attic. It has plenty of space, but is so open. I would love to add shelves and drawers, maybe even a wardrobe area for all that rarely worn winter and formal wear.

  1213. Love me some Lowes! I am working from home more and need to build a desk! I have a file cabinet in one corner, work papers on the coffee table, basically all of the stuff that would belong on a desk is spread through the house.

  1214. Love me some lowes!

    I would love to have the extra money to work on our kitchen organization! It’s the same as when we moved it, a mess! I’d love to get some new shelves and organizers for the drawers and food to keep the mess contained 😉

  1216. I would Love me some Lowes so I can get my girls rooms in order. I tired of stepping on all the little toys and never being able to see there floor.

  1218. Love me some Lowes!!

    I want to do it in the office….one of many rooms that need it done 🙂

  1219. Love me some Lowes

    Not to brag or anything but my pile is bigger than yours 🙂 I would love to be able to get our corner of the kitchen that serves as an ‘office’ nice and organized. I plan on purchasing a desk off craigslist and painting it a fun color sometime in the near future.

    Your space looks lovely. Great job as always. I love the shelves.

  1223. love me some lowes!

    i want to organize my new craft room….lots of stuff but it needs some major help!

  1224. Love me some LOWE’S! Seriously! It’s right across the street and I go by there every chance I get! My fantasy spot is my office…my honey is a major geek and has tons of old atari and nintendo games (and a full size arcade game!) in there and even though we’ve lived here for 7 months, it’s still all packed away because we’ve never gotten around to organizing!

  1225. Love me some Lowe’s!
    I could really stand to organize my pantry…it’s a nightmare, definitely the worst space in the house right now. Hope I win!

    Katie, my whole house looks like your desk. I hope that makes you feel so much better about your desk. Don’t worry, it won’t hurt my feelings if you think, “whoa, she’s much worse than me!” 😉 Have a great weekend!

  1226. Love me some Lowes!! I could use it in many places! I would love to know where those green lacquered boxes are from.

  1227. Love me some LOWES! I’d do it on my kitchen counters. They’re junk collectors, I only wish I had a desk in there to corral everything!

  1230. Love me some Lowes! I would LOVE to reorganize my bathroom closet – it’s a train wreck in there!

  1233. LOVE ME SOME LOWES!

    Our bathroom closet is in serious need of organizational fabulosity. Like bad. Like it looks like a yard sale in there.

    Also, seriously that desk looks amazing! We all know how important it is to keep your junk clean. Sorry I couldn’t resist! Also, loving that clock, where did it come from?

  1237. I would love more organizing for my 18 month olds books and toys. The collection seems to be growing!
    Love me some Lowes!!!!!!!

  1238. Love me some Lowes!

    Either our garage or my desk…the latter even has stuff piled on the chair, so I couldn’t sit down to go through the piles without first sorting through a pile!

  1239. Love me some Lowes!

    I want to organize our desk, too. It’s a gorgeous desk, but it’s totally covered in junk (bills, paper recycling, coupons, kid art)…

  1240. Love me some Lowes. And I want to spend it on my husband’s desk. I know that might sound passive aggressive, but I’m going to instead paint it “helpful” and “caring”. 🙂

  1241. Love me some Lowes! Ah, your office space, bring that same mess into an office room = disaster! Ours is SO upside down, such a MESS, I can’t even walk in there, it makes me cringe. Thank you!

  1243. Love me some Lowes!

    My office/craft area/dumping ground – I have more trash than China – needs some serious work!

  1247. Love me some Lowes!

    We live in a tiny two story townhouse that is quickly being overrun by toys. I’d love to add some organization to the playroom and the little dude’s nursery.

  1248. Love me some Lowes! My husband’s home office area becomes the catch-all for bills, coupons, more bills, and anything else you can think of!

  1249. Love me some Lowes

    My entire house needs to be organized — it’s still mid-renovation and I have yet to move in, so trying to organize as we renovate (not going very well so far…)

  1253. Love me some Lowes…We just finished redoing our office (paint, built-ins, molding!) but still haven’t tacked the desk area. I want a new desk, if I win we could use the Lowe’s giftcard towards wood to build one!!! I promise to send pics of the finished product too 🙂

  1254. Love me some Lowes: Craft stuff always gets out of control! All those knotted ribbons and loose buttons and dried up paint pens….

  1256. Love me some Lowes!

    I DESPERATELY need to organize my garage. The lack of order in that black hole is truly disgusting…seriously.

  1258. Love me some Lowes!

    My desk is a place for anything but my homework. Being a college student, I would LOVE to get that thing organized!

  1261. Love me some Lowes!

    I need serious organization help in my laundry room. Somehow the vacuum cleaner, brooms, steamer, summer hats, winter hats, mittens, sunscreen, swim diapers, outgrown diapers, pretty much everything that doesn’t have a “home” winds up there.

  1263. Love me some Lowes!
    um, the kitchen nook, or in my case, the craziness that never ends in the room off the space where the stove lives. 🙂

  1264. Love me some Lowes!! We are actually just starting to finish our basement (I’ve been listening to that gun sounding thing all day when they shoot the nails into the concrete, but I can’t complain, I’m super excited to have more space!!) and Lowes is already our go to store for all of our supplies. They are just a mile from our house, the employees are very knowledgeable, and they even cut us a deal on the delivery fee since we are so close!! Best of all, they give my husband, a Navy veteran, a discount:) Anyway since you didn’t ask for all that mumbo jumbo, if I would be so lucky to win this gift card I would choose to spend it on the “future office” and the organization it’ll need since it’ll be a blank space in need of some serious organizing pieces. Thanks for the chance!!

  1265. Love me some Lowes!! I do.

    I love to organize, and hate clutter. That said, I would love to organize my hall bathroom a lot better. I have ‘pinned’ quite a few inspirations, but have not yet made it that far, so the gift card for Lowes would give me the swift kick I need.

  1267. Love me some Lowe’s! I’m slowing relocating all the random paint/gift wrap/cards/sewing stuff from the garage and a couple closets to ONE room. I still don’t know how I’m going to organize it all once it gets corralled in one zone, though!

  1268. Love me some Lowes!!!

    I totally want to do it in the laundry room! That place needs some serious action 🙂

  1269. Love me some Lowes.

    My “desk” if you could call it that in my guest bedroom. Serious need of help!

  1270. Love me some Lowes

    The bedside tables in the master bedroom – my side are vintage suite cases (which is cute, but not functional), and the boyfriend’s side is an old paper organizing shelf…unit…thing that he never uses because everything ends up on the floor.

    And I have a little collection of pictures and love momentoes sitting on the windowsill that I’d like to do something a little fancier with.

    P.S. I LOVE the shelving idea for a tall wall like that! Will for sure need to keep that idea in mind when working on our dinning room/kitchen.

  1271. Love me some Lowes.

    My desk needs massive amounts of reorganizing! I’m a married fulltime graduate student, and I can’t find anything. Actually, my entire house needs to be reorganized! The closets and basement to be specific. I shudder whenever I open the doors to either place.

  1272. Love Me Some Lowes!!

    I am in need of some organization on my desk in my bedroom!
    I am a college student and I have 26485674563928 tons of paper in my room and so many odds and ends.
    This would help a whole lot!!

  1274. ”Love me some Lowes” I need to organize our guest bedroom/office/craft room. The closet in that room sort of looks like a bomb went off.

  1277. Love me some Lowes!!!

    Honestly, my entire HOUSE needs to be organized. But if I had an area to start, it would be the kitchen. My husband and I cook together, it should be a room we can enjoy. Instead of having to close cabinet doors fast so that it’s contents don’t end up all over the floor, or toppling on ones head.

    Thanks for offering this giveaway. And your desk/microwave area look gorgeous!

  1278. Love me some Lowes!! I would love to organize my kitchen desk! It isn’t even a desk actually – just the little ledge of counter where I keep all my junk. 🙂

  1279. Love me some Lowes!!

    I would have to choose first 🙂 But I think my family room closet- the toys are a hot mess in there! We have sliding doors on the closet, but no track on the bottom and often the toys push the doors so they’re hanging crooked! It’s crazy. This would sure come in handy!

    Love the way you organized and styled the desk area- good inspiration!!

  1280. Love me some Lowes!

    I’d definitely do it on the Living Room floor… it seems to have become a catch-all for baby toys and clothes and even boxes of technology/ gadgety things… it just needs HELP! <3

  1281. Hi Katie! I luv me some Lowes! And need me some Lowes luv!! My parents have been living with us for the past 6 months… Long story short, I gave my dad my recently almost done craft room which became his office. They are soon moving out and I need help reclaiming my craft room/office. Please help me!

  1282. Man, Katie! Your desk is seriously legit!!

    Anyway…
    Love me some Lowes!
    Our guestroom closet needs some serious organization. That sucker is bad!

  1283. Love me some Lowes!
    My breakfast bar/kitchen island needs some serious organizing help. It’s where everything ends up in piles and under stacks.

  1284. Love me some Lowes! Seriously, I do! I’m there at least twice a month! My back entryway is a MESS. It’s in desperate need of some organizing! I’m thinking mudroom……

  1285. ”Love me some Lowes”

    I would love to do it in the basement!… that dungeon needs some serious organization!

    Thanks!

  1286. Love me some Lowes!

    I really want to organize my downstairs entry way. Shoes always pile up there and it is a hot mess.

  1287. LOVE ME SOME LOWES!
    My spare room is my trouble area. It’s a crafting dumping ground. I’m working on getting stuff out of there slowly, but some cash for organizing would definitely help!!

  1288. Love Me Some Lowes!

    Im am trying to decide how to organize my pantry, lowes could totaly help me out!!

  1289. Love me some Lowe’s!

    I desperately need organization in my guest room closet. All the junk ends up in there!

  1290. Love me some Lowes!

    Need to organize everything but definitely the home office. It’s a wreck!

  1291. Love me some lowes! We have a date to redo the bathroom and oh boy does it need organizing…and demoed…and tiled…etc.etc.etc.

  1292. Love me some LOWES!!

    I would put these puppies to work in my crazy mess ofa bedroom. The hubby and I’s things don’t fit in our one closet… so we could def use some organization!

  1295. Love me some LOWE’S!

    Our spare bedroom needs some serious help. It is the place where everything goes “until we figure out what to do with it,” meaning, it never leaves the room again. 🙂

  1299. LOVE ME SOME LOWES!

    I need some organization of a kitchen counter that tends to collect all sorts of random stuff. Oh, my desk could use some help, too.

  1301. Love me some Lowes.

    I would love to organize our 3 year old boys room area. With Christmas presents and birthday coming up, his toys are becoming overwhelming!

  1303. Love me some Lowes!!!

    I would definitely do my home office space…it is in dire need of a makeover. It’s right out in the open next to our living room for everyone to see…lovely, right? Not when it’s messy! Good job on your office katie! i love the shelves and the light and the colors you chose!

  1305. Love me some Lowes!

    My fantasy do-it spot would be my basement, aka my craft room, aka the dungeon. It’s scary down there. I need some shelving to organize my fabric, some bins to organize my yarn and some paint to make it less dungeon-y.

  1306. Love me some Lowes!

    My desk needs cpr, it’s drowning! As in I can no longer see it through the pile o’ hoarding I also have going on.

    Thanks Lowes! 🙂

  1307. Love me some Lowes!
    Yes, I do! And I’d love some moola to start organizing our garage. Currently, we can’t even fit our car inside. Sad news.

  1308. Leave me some Lowes!

    I need to organize everything…but right now my collection of random tupperware and lids is driving me crazy.

  1310. LOVE ME SOME LOWES!

    After having my second child, I no longer have an office and our wonderful old antique desk is now in my master bedroom and full of paperwork that I’m not sure I even need. It needs to be organized just so I can see the color of the desk again and maybe to see if there are any important documents in the pile. Plus I need to organize all of my pictures of the kids on the computer in a way that I can find them when I’m old and they are no longer babies.

  1311. Love me some Lowes!

    I would like to do it in my kitchen junk drawers, yes that’s right there is an ‘s’. I mean more than one drawer.

  1313. Love me some Lowes. Hand down, the prize would go towards organizing the mud room. It is a totally safety risk trying to navigate through that room.

  1315. Love me some Lowes!

    I would love to organize my hall closet. It’s turned into a place where I just throw all my random junk. At least it’s kind of hidden!

  1316. Love me some Lowes!

    One hardly knows where to start — my desk? the garage? our basement? the pantry???

  1318. Love Me Some Lowe’s! I’d like to do it in our closets. They need some serious organization so I can find my stuff underneath everything my wife owns!

  1319. Love me some Lowes!

    I would use it to organize my son’s room. Stepping on 50,o00 legos/toys in the middle of the night is for the birds! Painful feet anyone?!

  1321. Love me some Lowes!

    Our garage could use a make-over. I’m thinking workbench, potting bench, the whole nine yards!

  1323. LOVE ME SOME LOWES!

    I work from home – so my office needs needs to be as clutter-free and organized as possible! SO – I could use some HELP!! THNX!

  1324. LOVE ME SOME LOWES!

    I would love to tackle our “Green Bay Packer room/Guest room”. We have an old desk from college that is super tiny and I am dying to put up some shelves to showcase all my boyfriends “Packer items” to show his collection in a better way that under the futon. HAHA

    Love what you did on your desk Katie!

  1326. Love me some Lowes!!!!

    Ummmm, my in-progress baby girl nursery . . . if I open the closet now, things literally fall out on me. Not gonna work when baby makes her arrival!

    Organizing clothing….so I don’t have to look EVERYWHERE for something to wear andso my girls can start helping me do the laundry!!!!

  1332. Love me some Lowes!!

  1333. Love me some Lowes!

    I think my kitchen could use some organization!

    Katie, your new desk area is gorgeous! Great job! 🙂

  1334. Love me some Lowes!

    I want to do it in… the nasty basement storage room. Hmm, sounded better in my head 😉

  1335. Love me some Lowes! I MUST organize my guest/craft room. As my toddler says, “what a mess!”

  1336. Love me some Lowes!

    I would definitely buy some closet organization kits and get my closets looking awesome!

  1337. Love me some Lowe’s! I would organize our clothes closet since my husband literally throws his clothes in a rubbermaid container, you know, like for Christmas lights (it’s that bad).

  1341. Love me some Lowes! I need to organize the mess in my basement. Files, paper, books and muic in stacks…..sigh

  1343. Love me some Lowes!

    We just moved, so I have been really loving them lately. Lol!

    I would love to do it in the garage. It is a hot mess of mismatched crapola out there.

  1345. Love me some Lowes! I need to organize the pile of clothes that collect on the bench in my bedroom…or I need to put them in my dressers, whatever.

  1347. Love me some Lowes!

    My desk area needs some major organization too! You have inspired me to get ‘er done!

  1348. Love me some Lowes!

    Do-me spot would be my fella’s home business in the garage; his screenprinting company. That boy does NOT know how to organize, put things away, or clean-up efficiently. Dude needs some help.

  1349. Love me some Lowes! And love your desk makeover, Katie! Looks awesome! I’d like to organize my closet and pantry. It’s a disaster area..

  1350. Love me some Lowes!!

    I want to organize my laundry “room” which is really just a short hallway from the garage into the house that also houses the washer & dryer. Its the entrance we use to the house and the spot where EVERYTHING gets dumped!

  1353. Love me some Lowes! I would love to do it in the office/ craft room/ office. I need more storage for my office stuff and a few little baskets for craft stuff.

  1354. Love me some Lowes!!

    I need to organize the closet in our spare bedroom aka soon-to-be nursery!! We’ve just been throwing random stuff in the closet but now with a baby on the way we have to figure out how to fit the baby stuff in it!

  1355. Love me some Lowes! We’re moving into a new house and will finally have a dedicated office space that I would love to be able to organize!

  1356. Love Me Some Lowes!!

    I have a room that is suppose to be a home office but it is such a mess that you might not be able to tell – that room needs some organization!

  1357. Love me some Lowes. Desperately need to organize my bedroom closet! So badly, in fact, that I have been thinking of having a babysitter come over so I can have the time to do it!

  1358. Love me Lowes!! I would definitely do my hall coat closet. It looks like a bomb of coats, hats, gloves, shoes, reusable bags, and lots of other random things just went off in there.

  1359. ”Love me some Lowes!

    I would probably use it in our office. We’ve lived here almost 2 years now in our fixer upper that we moved into because we needed a office. 2 years later its the messiest room in the house. Bigger renos keep taking it’s place but it is on my list for this year!

  1361. Love me some Lowes
    I really need to get my own desk area/home office organized! Love the inspiration. I love the floating shelves!

  1364. LOVE ME SOME LOWES!

  1365. Love me some Lowes! I really want to put some shelves up in my daughter’s room. All the toys are driving me mad! : )

  1366. Love me some Lowes! I’ve been dying to organize our dining room. We have a pile of wedding gifts in the corner on the floor and no where to put them. And i’ve been dying to do a gallery wall in there that incudes shelving very similar to what you’ve down with your desk. Awesome giveaway! 🙂

  1368. LOVE me some Lowes!!! I would love to organize our garage, and I have pinned some great inspiration to get us started!

  1369. LOVE ME SOME LOWES!

    I would love to organize our desk area in our apartment! Right now there is nothing inviting about the area + the desk is tiny and not very functional, which means it never gets used!

  1370. Love me some Lowes!!

    Our garage desperately needs some organization. Remnants of home renos have taken over!

  1371. Love me some Lowes! I would organize our office/craft room. It serves so many purposes but is such a disaster we don’t actually spend any time there!

  1372. Love me some Lowe’s!
    I have my house in okay order (only because it’s really small) but the basement is a giant magnet for things I don’t know what to do with. So I’m gonna say BASEMENT.

  1373. Love me some Lowe’s!!

    I have affectionately dubbed one of our spare bedrooms the “Wedding Graveyard” due to all the things still lurking and piled up from our wedding last June. I could definitely use some help cutting through all the clutter!

  1377. Love me some Lowes!

    Great little desk makeover. My craft room desperately needs some organization!

  1379. Love me some Lowes!

    I would love to reorganize my work “desk” area. It is located in the hallway that everyone can see when the come in. All my paperwork is done at home so it is a MESS! It is also the place that everything else gets piled onto. I desperate need of a makeover and organizing.

  1381. {L.O.V.E. me some L.O.W.E.S}

    This is so funny! I was contemplating doing the EXACT same thing today to my kitchen desk! I’ve been looking online all day instead for some inspiration. Love your shelves and the pen holders 🙂 Looks great! I can’t wait to get started on my space now.

  1382. Love me some Lowe’s! Pretty much any flat surface – kitchen table, dining room table, office desk. And the list goes on…

  1385. Love me some Lowes!! I have a spare bedroom that is an office/ study room/ dressing room and it needs to be organized now.

  1386. Love me some LOWES! I desperately need to organize my master closet…I can’t even FIND the floor…

  1388. Love me some LOWES! I really need to organize (and pretty up) our master bedroom closet!

  1389. LOVE ME SOME LOWE’S

    I would love to buy some more shelving and bins to organize my laundry closet. Oh, and a new light would be amazing!

  1390. Love me some Lowes! I had a baby last week and reallllllly need to organize my baby stuff better!

  1391. Love me some Lowes!!! I have a “dumping zone” right inside my garage entryway that seriously needs some organization!! I look at it everyday and dream of how I can organize it. I have a picture from Better Homes and Gardens that could be accomplished with some lumber and other supplies from Lowes. Oh, I’d love to win this!!!!

  1392. LOVE ME SOME LOWE’S!
    I would love to reorganize the large cabinet that houses my desk-type stuff and crafts supplies.

  1393. Love me some Lowe’s! I want to do it in my pantry – organize that is… it’s a terrible mess!

  1395. Love me some Lowes! I would love to get our basement organized! Not glamorous, but it’s desperately needed at the moment!

  1396. ”Love me some Lowes” We are finishing our basement and would LOVE to organize some for our new little one. I’m thinking chalkboard paint and baskets for toys!

  1397. Love me some Lowes!

    I need to organize the landing area of our stairs – there’s a bench seat there that has a ton of crap inside it and on top of it!

  1401. Love me some Lowe’s!

    I would love to use that gift card towards organizing my craft stuff! I have everything just thrown into totes right now because I have no sort of organization system set up for it at all. I need help!

  1402. Love me some Lowes! I can only pick one area? Lol… Our front closet needs help, it has no hooks or shelves for hanging coats or shoes or anything!

  1404. Love me some Lowes.

    I would love to fully organize my kitchen.

    Love what you did to your desk. Love your effortless style and DIY projects.

  1406. Love me some Lowes! I would organize my classroom- there are so many papers and supplies! It’s insane.

  1412. LOVE ME SOME LOWE’S!

    My 11 month old is accumulating lots of toys and clothes. I would love to organize his closet to accommodate both!

  1415. Love me some Lowe’s….I have a closet that I use as a catch-all for everything & it is quite the mess. It is in definite need of some organization

  1420. LOVE me some Lowe’s! We just dropped a big chunk of change at Lowe’s on supplies to build a book shelf for our son’s playroom. The book shelf is finished but now needs some organization of it’s own!

  1421. Love Me Some Lowes
    Ahhh! My closet. The huby and I have been talking about adding some shelves and bins in there for months…just got to actually do it!
    p.s.
    love all the B’s on your desk.

  1422. Love me some Lowes!

    I have the opposite problem: I LOVE to throw things away. And then I don’t have what I need. There have been times, at 7am, we’ve been unrolling toilet paper rolls or pulling out Kleenexes because the kids need the roll or box for school. So now I have boxes in my basement holding such things, as well as fabric scraps and bubble wrap and other pieces of scraps. Need me some shelves. Love you and the positive voice you add to the internet. Keep it up!

  1425. LOVE ME SOME LOWES!!

    New house, new problemos!! I think I’ll go with….the guest bathroom!! Needs shelves, a mirror, and some lovin. So I guess I’d do it there…in the bathroom:)

    Keep writing Katie, you rock!!

  1426. Love me some Lowes – I drop all my stuff after work on the kitchen counter – drives my husband crazy! I definitely need to get that in order – so I guess I need to do in on the kitchen countertop!

  1428. I do love me some Lowes! The next spot on my organize-it list is my office closet! It’s a closet that I tucked a desk inside – a place to pay bills, wrap gifts, write notes, etc. Help, Lowes!

  1429. Love me some Lowes!

    I need to organize my office! Currently, it has a desk that is full of junk and lots of piles on the floor!! I’ve been dying to organize it.

  1430. Love Me Some Lowe’s!

    I have hundreds of photographs to organize. It’s a really daunting task and I keep putting it off but it’s always in the back of my mind!

  1432. ”Love me some Lowes”

    I need to organize my laundry room. One tiny shelf just isn’t cutting it!

  1433. Love me some lowes.

    I want to do it in my kitchen…. some floating shelves would look great and add pretty storage area.

  1435. Love me some Lowe’s!!! I want to do the dirty, organize that is, in my sewing/craft room. An intervention is desperately needed!

  1436. “Love me some Lowe’s!”

    I have a home based business and my desk area is in need of some major organization too!! I have lots of ideas.. just need to “do it!” hehe

  1437. Love me some Lowe’s. For real we really love lowes. If I win I would love to put a frame around the mirrors in the kids bathroom. And with any we have left over I want to get some paint and put a pretty color in our pantry!

  1439. Love me some Lowes!

    My garage is in desperate need of organization. It’s so embarrassing to open it! Haha

  1440. Love me some Lowes!
    I would LOVE to utilize my new Christmas Saws [yes, I asked for saws for Christmas :)] to build some small boy toy storage, much like what Mr. Will has in his room!

  1441. Love me some Lowe’s!

    My closet is a disaster! I don’t have a whole lot of space, so some organization would be amazing!

  1442. Love me some Lowe’s! Our sewing/craft area desperately needs organization and baby proofing…it should I say toddler proofing?

  1443. Love me some Lowes!
    I would love to work on our home office. Papers, books everywhere and our closet is a mess.

  1444. Love me some Lowes!

    Every inch of my house needs an organization intervention, but I would probably concentrate my efforts on our “den”. It’s where the computer lives, and is now teeming with books, bills, papers, and more random stuff then I know what to do with!

  1446. Love Me Some Lowes. My dream do-it space is my catch all office! Your family desk doesn’t hold a candle to all of my hot mess!!

  1448. Love me some Lowe’s! My organization would go to my bathroom, which I share with my roommate. Seems we never have enough space for all our stuff in there!

  1452. Love me some Lowes!

    I also need some serious organization – in my office! My office desk looks like your kitchen desk did. 🙂

  1453. Love me some Lowes!
    I want to do it in the basement. I’ve been pinning some adorable craft spaces, now I just need some loot. 🙂

  1455. Love me some Lowes.

    My top organization priorities are 1.) my kitchen desk (like you I have a nook that has become a dumping ground, 2.) the linen closets 3.) guest rooms closets (there are two mini closets in there) and 4.) hubby’s out of control office.

  1456. Love me some Lowes!

    Closet could use more functional shoe storage…there’s a chance I have too many 😉

  1457. Love me some Lowes!!!

    I desperately need to organize our guest bedroom. It’s looking like a war zone!

  1458. Love me some Lowes!

    I have a mud/laundry room in desperate need of some shelves and baskets. This would be the push I need to help me gitter done!

  1460. Love me some Lowes!! My fantasy do-it spot is my office desk. It’s tiny, but insanely cluttered!

  1461. Love me some Lowes! I have most of my house organized (over time), but my basement needs some help!! Love your blog.

  1462. ”Love me some Lowes” Our laundry room needs some serious loving and what we have now just isn’t doing it!

  1463. Love me some Lowes.

    I have a closet that is in major need of some organization! It has my crafty stuff in it, books that done fit on bookcases, games, and extra supplies for work. Help!

  1464. Love me some Lowes! We’re buying a new house and it has a desk just like that in the kitchen… I would totally copy what you did! 🙂 And I love that your hot mess looks like ours do. Thanks for sharing!

  1466. Love me some Lowes! Hubby and I were there last night on our date night. No jokes!

    I really wanna do it in my craft closet! It’s so dirty and could use some lovin’!

  1468. Love me some Lowes! YOu’re entry is very inspiring ~ my family room could use this kind of love!!

  1469. LOVE ME SOME LOWES. My “Do It” spot, for organizing that is, is our very tiny office/computer room. The organizing in there is random & sporadic at best.

  1475. Love me some Lowes!

    Two areas of my home need some organizing love – the laundry area and my master bedroom. My laundry area needs a few tweeks. Technically, it is organized, but isn’t pleasing to the eye. My house is old and doesn’t have closets and storage. My master turns into the “household dump” and might only be saved by a stick of dynamite! Nothing says romance like piles of stuff you had nowhere else to put.

  1476. Love me some Lowe’s! There are several places around our home I would love to do it (organize), but I would have to start with the kitchen island so I can use it to prepare meals again:)

  1477. Love me some Lowes! Our guest room closet needs a major overhaul since that is where I store all the “don’t know what to do with” stuff.

  1478. Love me some Lowes!!!
    My coat closet needs some major organization. We have 3 busy boys and a busy husband and we need a place for all of their junk…I mean stuff:) Thank you!!!

  1479. My closet needs some major work. We live in a tiny house that only has 1 closet! That’s one closet for me, my fiance, and all our junk.

  1480. Love me some Lowes! My closet needs some major work. We live in a tiny house that only has 1 closet! That’s one closet for me, my fiance, and all our junk.

  1481. LOVE ME SOME LOWES!

    I would love to organize my office/dressing room. It has turned into piles upon piles of clothes and papers 🙁

  1482. Love me some Lowes!

    Katie, I absolutely LOVE how your reorganization turned out! I really like the unexpected choice of the outdoor light and the mixture of containers that you used to organize your items on the desktop, too. It’s lovely.

    If I were to win the $100, I would put it toward our baby girl’s room. She is due in about 5 weeks! We ripped out the old, broken and falling down closet shelving when I was first pregnant and although we have patched the walls, sanded, and primed/painted, there is still no shelving in the closet. Eeeek, we need to get on that!

    Thanks for the chance to win!!!

  1483. Oh boy, do I love me some Lowes!

    I would tackle my formal dining room turned office turned one-room schoolhouse. It opens to the kitchen with no doors, so all of our company gets to enjoy the hot mess that it’s become. Joy. Rescue me, Lowes!

  1484. Love me some Lowes! While the same area in my kitchen is a disaster, my closet shoe purse area could really use some Lowes love!

    Also, thought I’d mention I’m equally obsessed with elephants. About the time I FINALLY got preggo I read that elephants with their trunks raised symbolized gook luck in India. Somehow all that luck resembled everything I’d wished for in getting pregnant but also for the little one inside me. Now I can’t stop buying them whenever I see them with their trunks raised! 🙂

  1485. I wanna do it in my studio space! Organize all of that clutter that is!! Or the laundry room maybe??? Its safe to say I could use this just about anywhere in my house!!

  1486. Love me some Lowes
    I would totally do my kitchen pantry and cabinets. I think my cabinets are eating my tupperware tops. who can ever find a match?

  1488. Love me some Lowe’s
    I would love to “do it” in my home office. So much paper, mixed with electronic gadgets and cords that I get lost in there!

  1492. Love me some Lowes! Your desk looks great! My office is the current area of my house that needs some attention.

  1493. Love me some Lowes!

    We just refinished our “attic” and turned it into a playroom/guest room. We need some help organizing toys and making it a space where guests feel cozy and relaxed!

  1494. Love me some Lowe’s!

    My fantasy Do-It location is ANYWHERE IN {Our} New (?) house…..I say that b/c I am sooooo (impatiently) waiting to hear back on our short sale home. Our realtor says maybe in the next week….but ahhhhhhhh, I wanna know now!

    PS, Love the new desk area! That clock rocks my socks!

  1495. Love me some Lowe’s!

    My “office” needs some help. Since we have a small house, it’s currently a table in my living room. Ugh!

  1497. “Love me some Lowe’s!” My closet is the size of a shoebox so I need some help with storage!! Thanks for the opportunity to win!

  1498. Love me some Lowes!!

    I am dreading the task that will become tackeling our loft. It looks over our master bedroom and the loft (and stairs.. it’s spreading!!!!) has become the biggest catch-all. My husband claimes I’m a “piler” and it’s true.. I hope I can dig ourselves out before the mess takes over even more 🙂

  1499. Love me some Lowes!
    My hall closet/coat closet/linen closet/only actual closet besides the one in my bedroom could really use some help!

  1500. Love me some Lowe’s! (We were just there, in fact.) I desperately need to organize (aka throw away 90% of the stuff) in my garage. We are possibly getting ready to move and I despise dragging old junk to a new home. Will. Not. Do. It. 🙂

  1502. Seriously Love Me So Lowe’s!

    We moved into our first “adult” house (our own version of a McMansion) back in November and really need to organize my husband’s office. He works from home and it’s a disaster! It literally loves like our moving van threw up on that room. Oh yeah, we could totally “do it” all over that room 😉

  1503. Love Me Some Lowes!

    I need to create some built in organization in our laundry/guest room. I eventually want to pull the laundry area out and put it in the garage but for now it will be both.

  1505. Love me some Lowes!
    I need to DO IT to my guest bedroom/office/craft room! Because this room serves so many purposes, it has a tendency to get over run with projects. (Like it is right now.)
    I hope you have a great weekend! I love your blog, you consistently make me laugh and I love your style.

  1506. Right now I do it all over the house, but I’d like to contain myself to the closet.

    MEANING… I have papers spread all over the place, but I’ve been trying to figure out a way to create a message center in the closet between my kitchen and garage. 🙂

    xo

  1508. Love me some Lowes! We have turned our upstairs guest bedroom into a play room for our little guy. We could definitely use some organization with toys, etc.

  1509. Love me some Lowes!!

    I would LOVE to organize my home office, specifically the desk, it’s a disaster!

  1513. Love Me Some Lowes! I would totally love to do it (organize) in our family room over in the craft/”just put it over there” corner…it really is a bit of a disaster area right now!

  1514. LOVE ME SOME LOWES!!!!!!!!!

    my office /guestroom is disgustingly cluttered. im a newlywed so all the stuff that my hubs and i didnt want to look at, just ended up being thrown in there! i cant even get in there to look at it its retarded haha would love some help organizing that! xoxox

  1515. Love me some Lowes – My office needs some serious organizational help. Thanks for the chance.

  1517. Love me some Lowe’s! I was gifted a sewing machine for my birthday and I need some help organizing a crafting area!

  1518. ”Love me some Lowes” That little area on the end of the kitchen counter where the calendar and all my “to do’s” for the day land. …

  1520. ”Love me some Lowe’s” – I would love to organize my craft room. $100 GC would be a great start to some fabulous Lowe’s organizing tools.

  1521. Love me some Lowes! We are expecting our second baby girl in May and since the two will share a room….and a teeny closet, ya, some major organization is needed!

  1522. Love me some Lowes!

    I don’t know which desk is worse – the built-in kitchen one (downstairs) or my home office (upstairs). I have serious issues with paper clutter! Thanks for sharing your desk makeover – I’m feeling a little more inspired to tackle my own!

  1526. Love me some lowes.
    I need a desk area. My household bills and clutter have devoured half my counter space!

  1528. Love me some Lowes!

    I’d love to organize my home office. I have books, papers, and gadgets everywhere!

  1529. “Love me some Lowes”
    I would love to organize my guest room/craft room. It is in desperate need of help.

  1530. Love me some Lowes!!!!

    It’s a toss up between our (very) mini area in the kitchen for paperwork and our entryway (also in the kitchen area) that is a major mess with my 2 boys backpacks, coats, etc.

  1532. Love me some lowes!

    I would definitely use it in our garage nook. It is in desperate need of organization!

  1533. Love me some Lowes. Or I should say my hubby loves him some Lowes. My current fantasy do-it spot is the linen closet – definitely needs to be cleaned out!

  1538. Love me some Lowes!
    I need to organize my desk. My husband and I share a desk, and since I am in school right now papers and books are always scattered all over the place and it’s a hot mess!

  1539. ”Love me some Lowes”- I desperately need to organize my kitchen (and every other space in my house, lol.

  1540. Love me some Lowe’s!!
    I really could use some organization in my laundry room as I have all my dog’s stuff there plus the normal laundry supplies and some overflow canned goods from the kitchen. By the way, I love what you have done to your desk! Gorgeous!!

  1541. Love me some Lowes!

    We just purchased our first home and much organizing will be needed to mesh my and my fiance’s stuff!

  1542. Love me some lowes!

    We’re about to buy our first home so needless to say I could organize just about everywhere!

  1543. LOVE ME SOME LOWES!! (No really, I do :-))

    I have been on an extreme nesting/organizing spree this month! My current project is the laundry room but I still want to tackle the kids’ closets!

  1544. Love me some Lowe’s!

    Our bedroom closet! It’s such a mess and I shudder every time I have to reach in to get something out. Luckily the doors hide the chaos. I would love to transform it into a pretty, organized space that showcases and stores our clothing in a way I am proud of!

  1545. Love me some Lowes! We definitely need a closet organizer for our master bedroom. It looks like my old college dormroom. So not classy.

  1546. Love me some loves!

    My kitchen pantry could definitely use some organizing (along with the rest of my house)

  1548. Love me some Lowes!

    I’d organize my junk counter in the kitchen. It’s just a place where sunglasses mingle with coupons and allergy pills and everything under the sun!

  1550. Love me some Lowes… Would love to organize my family room. In desperate need of a place to staff the papers, cd’s and other junk!

  1551. Love me some Lowe’s! ( I <3 Lowe's more than any mall)

    I need to work on organization in my schoolroom closet, and some new paint for the schoolroom as well.

  1552. Love me some Lowes! The bathrooms! My boys need some storage solutions in theirs, big time bad.

  1553. Love me some Lowes! Our “do-it” spot would be our home office. Right now it acts as a closet for my husband and a home office for all of our junk. I would love to be able to organize and make it a functioning office!

    By the way, your desk turned out too cute!! Love your blog!

  1554. Your desk is so beautiful! I feel so inspired to clean out my piles of junk now. Haha, who am I kidding? I’m probably not going to!
    Love me some Lowe’s!
    I really need to organize my pantry! My complete mess of unorganized food and supplies is disheartening. 🙁

  1555. Love me some Lowes and how they support the military families with giving us 10% off everyday! Would love to win the gift card to stretch our dollar even further and help us fix the ever challenging task of reorganizing and finding the right place to put everything every stinking time we move! I need help in my master bathroom…more like a huge intervention needed!

  1556. I really do ”Love me some Lowes”!!!!!!!!! Your blog rocks Katie 🙂
    if i had 100.00 to use at lowes it would probably be for shoe organization or play room organization. Thank you!!

  1558. Love Me Some Lowes!

    I need to do it – or organize – my basement! Everything is just sitting in boxes on the floor or just on the floor…..

  1559. Love Me Some Lowes! I’m in the middle of a big closet organization project for my all my scrapbook, sewing, crafting in general stuff! Just like you I have a hard time getting rid of ANYTHING that might come in handy in the future!! I can hear my mother’s voice right now saying: Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without. Apples don’t fall very far from the tree that’s for sure!

  1562. Love me some Lowes! I would love to organize our coat closet with some pretty, yet functional storage boxes and shelves.

  1565. love me some lowes!
    i would love to get my hands on my husbands work room! or give him the money to do it!
    its a hot mess and really can use some organization!!

    the desk look s awesome and i would love to sit there to balance my checkbook!

  1566. Love me some Lowes!
    My 9 mo. old has more toys than he can shake his paper towel holder at (his favorite toy of course). Need to organize this mess in my family room with some DIY built in cubbies.

  1567. Said in the voice of Oprah, “I LOVE me some Lowes!” I was there today picking out Exterior paint color samples. Neither of which worked. There was an awful lot of green in them when you put them outside. Yikes!
    And on to important items of business, I need some organization help! If I had a dandy gift card, I would put a little help in the mail/recycle/clutter area of our kitchen. My husband has taken to placing mail precariously on tables and chairs because the overflowing counter and cabinet will just eat up our mail if we place it there. The plan is to put a rolling bin in the lower cabinet to hide the recycling, and then have lovely bins on the wall to sort mail. I think the “Taxes 2011” manilla folder could use a little help, since it is currently under the to-be-recycled egg container.

  1570. Love me some Lowes!

    I need to organize my desk area… Well actually my whole house but the desk area would be a great first start. 😉

  1571. Love me some Lowes!

    Between my awful desk, my closet, and the fact that I have a baby on the way, I could use a LOT of organization in my life!

  1576. Love me some Lowe’s! Actually, they’re the only home improvement store nearby, so I have no other option. I’m there almost every week. We’re fixing up a 1939 casa that we bought in June. And I’m a big fan of great organization, so I’m adding it in wherever we can. My next project to tackle is the upstairs bedroom.

  1577. Love me some lowes – I’d organize my crafts. Last time my daughter got into my craft box and stuffed a rhinestone up her nose. :T

  1578. ”Love me some Lowes!!!”. I’d love to create a command center in our kitchen to corral the paper clutter and organize our lives!

  1580. Love me some Lowe’s!

    I need to organize the pantry and linen closet. Three shelves each=lots of stuff on the floor of the closets!

  1581. ”Love me some Lowes”

    I’d like to add another clothes rod to our closet-it’s a little tight in there!

  1585. Love Me some Lowe’s!

    I really need to organize my garage! It’s been a hot mess since I moved in this house 2 years ago. I need to go through everything, throw away the junk, and I want to create a workspace out there so if I need to paint, sand, etc… I can do it in the garage instead of in the backyard!

    That being said, the rest of my house needs some organization like nobody’s business.

  1588. Love me some Lowes! And I would LOVE to organize the closet under our stairs in the basement to turn it into a pantry!

  1589. Love me some Lowe’s! My storage closet is a hot mess. Like, hot “it might as well be a black whole” mess. And of course my kitchen is having a rough time as well.

  1591. Love me some Lowes!!! And your blog! Great ideas! I would do a closet shelves make over! I’ve been wanting to start a blog and this would be a perfect start! 🙂

  1594. Love me some Lowes.

    I would love to get my office organized- right now it seems to be a drop zone for miscellaneous crap. Organizing it is actually on my to do list for this weekend, but something tells me that isn’t going to happen. Eeek.

  1595. Love me some Lowes!

    My hardest place to organize is my desk, also! For some reason, it is a landing zone for everything that doesn’t belong there!

  1596. Love me some Lowes! I’d like to do it…in my closet. I would love to have some sort of organization in there.

  1597. Love me some Lowes- I have two areas desperately in need of organization-my desk (it makes your before look CLEAN!), and my bedside table. Let’s just say the whole “If I ignore it, it will go away” theory isn’t working.

  1598. Love me some LOWES!

    I don’t even know where to start! Probably the new kitchen/baking nook would benefit the most from some tough love organization!

  1601. Love me some Lowes!!!! I would love to give my BF a little office area so he will stop dumping things on the dining room table

  1602. LOVE ME SOME LOWES!

    I’m gonna jump on board with office. It is a total disaster…not really in the clutter way (though we’ve got that too) but in the “how does this room work for us?” way.

  1605. Love me some LOWES!!! I know it’s boring, but our garage needs some major organizing. Of course, as does our attic and every other closet in our house. I could sure use some help getting some organizing stuff!

  1606. Love me some Lowes
    We just moved into our first house and the room I claimed as my sewing room desperately needs some organization! Most everything is still in boxes! I would love to turn the closet into my supply area with loads of shelving and dress it up with some cute storage containers. I’ve pinned tons of inspiration pics…now to buy the stuff.

  1611. Love me some Lowes! My hole of a closet needs some serious organizational magic going on, as does the shed we just built and never set up any shelving in.

  1613. Love me some Lowe’s!

    I would do it in the master bedroom closet. Boy, does that place need some lovin’.

  1615. Love me some Lowe’s

    I would love to organize my desk/work area. Time to get organized for 2012! Your post is definitely inspiring. Love it!

  1616. Love me some Lowes!

    My storage room/hallway needs some major overhaul! I would love to do it there!

  1617. Love me some Lowe’s!

    So, ummmm… Basically my entire house needs organizing. We just moved in, and it’s a lot smaller than our last house, so we haven’t found homes for everything yet. Everything (EVERYTHING) lives in the middle of the floor. 🙁
    But I would probably start with our master bedroom.

  1618. Love me some Lowe’s!
    I would totally hit our “croffice” – that’s the craft room/office and it is the definition of HOT MESS right now, post holiday trauma!

  1619. Love me some Lowe’s… We have three “holding areas” – our office, spare bedroom and basement – that could all use some organizing love!

  1621. Love me some Lowe’s!

    I need to do it in my guest bedroom turned place to stash extra toys and anything else that doesn’t have a place to live in my house! Yikes!

  1622. Love me some Lowes! I really need to do it (organize) my den/office. Ever since we moved in our new home in June….it has also been the “dump it” place and is not anywhere close to being organized!

  1623. Love me some Lowes. I have a corner of my kitchen that desperately needs some organization. Cookbooks seem to be spilling everywhere.

  1624. Love me some Lowes

    I would love help organizing my kids’ toys and their clothes could use some organization too!

  1626. love me so Lowes

    I do love me some owes! They are great for having less “cortractoresk” items to warm up your projects. I really need to work on decluttering a home office/future craft room .
    – Tina

  1627. Love me some Lowe’s!!! I have a craft room that needs MAJOR organizing. Floating shelves are always the best – I need an entire wall of them to organzie my items by use. Love the desk 🙂

  1628. Love me some Lowe’s…we are getting ready to remodel our kitchen and I have big plans for all of my new drawers!

  1629. Love Me Some Lowes! I desperately need to organize my son’s toys and general “stuff”. Poor guy has been in his ‘big boy room’ for a year, but with no real place to put things other than clothes.

  1630. Love me some Lowes!

    I have A LOT of organizing to do…but right now I’d like to focus either on our playroom or our foyer. Both are a hot mess and could use some help! 🙂

  1631. Love me some Lowe’s!
    I want to organize my laundry closet, my pantry, replace all the knobs on our doors to brushed nickel and many more projects!

  1633. Love me some Lowes!

    I would love to finally get our pantry built out and organized and our kitchen done, so we can move our new appliances out of our dining room…

    OH… and organizing the guest bedroom that is currently a storage room would be great, too.

    Basically, I REALLY need help!

  1636. I love me some Lowes

    My entire 900 SF tiny house with zero storage could use a little bit of help – everywhere. But especially in the corner of our bedroom I call my office!

  1641. Love me some Lowes!

    I need to organize our desk in our spare bedroom!!!!!!! MAJORLY messy!

  1642. Love me some Lowes!

    I have a few spots – our kitchen desk area, my craft closet, and our pantry. Fingers crossed!

  1643. LOVE ME SOME LOWES!!

    I would LOVE to throw some organization into our laundry closet….it’s also a hot mess and needs some TLC!

  1644. Love me some Lowes!

    I’d do it on a command center in our kitchen. We have stacks of mail ALL over our house. Help, it’s taking over!

  1645. Love me some Lowes!!!!

    I would love to be able to organize my closet! It is a disaster zone!!!

  1648. Love me some Lowes

    I would organize my master closet. It needs serious help. It needs functionality.

  1649. Love me some Lowes! I’d like to organize the walk-in closet in the spare bedroom. It is a mess!

  1651. Love me some Lowe’s!

    I have a playroom that needs to be converted into a nursery in a few short months so I have a lot to organize.

  1653. Love me some Lowes! I’d love to organize my office where we toss everything when we don’t know where else to put it. Furniture, toys, donation piles, old electronics, etc.,

  1654. Love me some Lowe’s! I would love to organize the kids stuff in my living room. Small house = living room doubles as a play room/storage area and it is starting to look like a junk yard!

  1657. Love me some Lowes!
    My bedroom is in desperate need of organization help! There are piles of a little bit of everything on the dresser, desk, and even the floor that I would love to find a home for. The Lowe’s card would do wonders in organizing and improving my home!

  1658. Love me some Lowes! I would love to better organize my master closet…it’s a hot mess!

  1660. Love me some Lowes!!!

    Our bonus room definitely needs it with the combination of TV room, hubby’s office and little man’s toys running rampant!

  1664. ”Love me some Lowes”
    I would love make a desk nook in my bedroom, we don’t have an office or room for one so my bedroom will be the place for it.

  1670. Love me some Lowes…
    and my office/crafty/get things done area is a DISASTER zone. I could put you to shame, Katie. 🙂

  1671. Love me some lowes! Where to start? I have a problem in more then one place, but I think the bakers rack in my kitchen wins since everyone can see it!

  1672. Love me some Lowe’s! There is at least one area in every room in my house that needs some organization…but #1 is kitchen drawers!

  1673. Love me some Lowes!

    I have a closet that houses our cleaning supplies (incl. vacuum and ironing board) and tools because we don’t have a garage. Things are literally just piling up in there!

  1674. Love me some Lowes! I really really really need to organize my closet. And under my bed. And some random shelves. I need a lot of help!

  1676. Love me some Lowes! I need lots of organization help but my closet needs it the most. Or maybe I just ened to get rid of some clothes?!?!

  1677. Love me some Lowes!

    My closet is due for some classy organization. Plastic tubs aren’t really cutting it anymore!

  1678. Love me some Lowes!
    I would LOVE to organize our Master Bedroom Closet! That would be a dream.

  1681. Love me some Lowes!

    My laundry room/mudroom. It would be amazing to actually be able to do laundry without having to move 50 items to get to the washer!

  1684. Love me some Lowes!

    My hubby would love for me to organize our “storage” room in our basement! We are in the process of finishing our basement ourselves and this is one room I know I could do with the help of 100 big ones from LOWES!

  1687. Love me some Lowes. Seriously. I should buy stock in them, we shop there so much.

    Our main room closet. Houses my craft stuff, DVDs ( because I don’t let my husband leave them out), and jackets. A wreck!

  1690. Love me some Lowes!

    I would love to work on and organize my bedroom. My dresser is the place that everything without a place ends up. I am ready for that to change!

  1692. Love me some Lowe’s – our office is just really a catch all room and now I literally cannot stand it. Do you know how many times it has been cleaned only to catch up to a mess again? I would definately get in there and do something pretty to fix it up – thanks for the chance Katie – and your spot looks awesome! What paint color do you have in your kitchen?

  1693. Love me some Lowes!! We need help organizing our overstuffed garage. It’s brimming with lawn tools, baby “stuff”, laundry items, paint, sports equipment and everything else in between!

  1695. Love me some Lowes!

    Love the desk area! I think i’d like to organize an area similar to that, it’s just inside the kitchen off the laundry room. It’s not a desk but it’s definitely a dumping ground! It could use some serious inspiration!!

  1697. Love me some Lowes!
    Under our sinks… There is so much wasted, yet desperately needed, space!

  1698. I certainly, Love me some Lowes. I would totally organize my back hall better known as the freezing cold black hole of coats, shoes, and dog food.

  1699. Love me some Lowes! (Just was there a few hours ago 🙂 I really want to do it for my spare bedroom, that poor little room has become our huge dumping ground.

  1704. Love me some Lowes!
    I am a hoarder, there I said it! Not the “I think no one would find me under a giant stack of magazines” but close enough. I keep everything from old receipts to my daughters painting of what I am told is Papa riding a tractor, (looks like a circle with different colored squiggly lines, it’s abstract art!). Now ideally I should keep them….well not sure but I can guess putting everything on the kitchen table is not answer. Just guessing though 🙂

  1706. Love Me Some Lowes!!
    I desperately need a School station, to organize backpacks, lunch boxes, books that need to be returned and papers reminding me of something else that needs to be brought to school. My big girl is only in Kindergarten so I feel I need to get a handle on this ASAP because it’s only going to get worse!

  1707. Love me some Lowe’s!
    I desperately need to organize our hall closet – it is the place where all random things who don’t have a home end up.

  1708. Love me some Lowes!

    I would love to organize our clothing closets! With six kids its a struggle figuring out where to put clothing thats out of season… new closet organizers would be great!

  1709. Love me some Lowes!

    I’d love to organize our upstairs linen closet and office closet. The shelves are oddly short in depth, so it’s very hard to put anything away.

  1710. Love me some Lowes!

    I would love to organize my husband’s closet and landing strip (heh). The dude needs some organization.

  1715. Love me some Lowes!

    I desperately need to organize my desk area. Papers fall down into weird cracks around my desk and I lose and find things 5 times over. I work from home updating websites and running my own handmade soap business and I desperately need to organize everything!

  1716. Love me some Lowes!

    I need to organize my dresser and closet – get rid of clothes that do not fit correctly and organize the ones that do!

  1718. Love me some Lowe’s!. I’d love to organize my laundry room a bit more since it includes a large part of our catch all storage!

  1721. Love me some Lowes!

    My computer desk is a mess, I would love a chance to give it a makeover as beautiful as your kitchen desk transformation.

  1723. Love me some Lowe’s. I have the same “catch-all” spot in our kitchen on our antique buffet. It definitely needs some organization pelase!

  1724. Love me some Lowes!

    I have an empty space behind the bedroom door that is just crying to be made into a closet nook! My house only has ONE true closet, so creating some more storage space would be great!

  1725. Love me some Lowes!!

    I am in the process of trying to create a Family Command Center. A place where we can keep our family calendar, charge our phones, keep supplies for homework, etc….

  1727. Love me some Lowes! I need to organize my home office desk. It looks like your kitchen desk with a laptop in the middle.

  1728. LOVE ME SOME LOWES!

    This would be perfect. We are in the planning stage of adding some pipe shelves with a drop down kitchen table on a soon to be empty wall. That area of our kitchen soooo needs to be organized!

  1729. Love me some Lowes!
    I really want to get my closet organized…maybe paint the walls while I’m at it!

  1730. Love me some Lowes!

    My entire office needs help! My desk looks about the same as yours did in the before picture, unfortunately.

  1732. Love me some Lowes!

    I would organize my office. I work from home and since we moved into our house 8 months ago, I’ve been making due on a tiny desk in our dining room. It’s always covered in work stuff and things that I’m trying to keep away from my 17 month old! I need some major organization.

  1735. Love me some Lowes. My pantry in my kitchen needs some organized TLC. I want to build some slide out drawers to house lots of glass jars filled with dry goods.

  1737. Love me some Lowes!

    Wow, this transformation is awesome! Those floating shelves are exactly what I want for right behind my door. I live in a studio apartment and so there’s not really a good place for me to have a “landing strip” for when I home. So with some floating shelves behind the door and two big baskets for shoes and umbrellas, I would be all set!

  1738. Love me some Lowes!

    And I LOVE what you did with that area! We have an in-kitchen desk too, but ours doesn’t have a wall – it’s over the 1.5-level split entry. Thus making it difficult to use it for anything other than a collection area. 🙂 I always mean to spruce that area up, but never seem to get around to it. SO, long response short, I’d either go with that space or put it toward our master closet organization project (in progress!).

  1743. LOVE ME SOME LOWES

    I would totally love to organize my craft room or my playroom. I would need to look at both rooms and decide which room I could make the bigger impact on with $100. MY HOUSE REALLY NEEDS IT:)

  1748. Love me some Lowes!

    We are getting ready to do a pretty big kitchen DIY makeover and renovations! I’d love to have an extra $100 to build a beautiful corner banquet that I’ve been dreaming about 🙂

  1752. Love me some Lowe’s! My partner’s entire office is a wreck. We’ve cleaned it and de-cluttered it, but the paper management needs a major upgrade and some Lowe’s bucks would really help!

  1755. Love me some Lowes!

    We recently purchased a 1935 home and would love to organize every space; but especially our baby girl’s nursery! She has a great space with no real organizational space, save a bookshelf that has been overtaken with chewed up books. I’d love the opportunity to work with Lowes to make this a wonderful space for her to grow!

  1758. Love Me Some Lowe’s. With just starting my own photography business I too need some help organizing in the office…it’s a nightmare! Being a mom to 2 girls, working part time and now working at something I LOVE I never have time to do anything else 🙂

  1760. Love me some Lowes!

    We need some garage organization! Moved into our 1st home nearly 4 years ago, and the part of the house that desperately needs organization is my hubby’s work area in the garage!

  1761. Love ME some Lowes!! – I would LOVE to organize my oh-so neglected closet…can I just say it hasn’t been truly organized in nearly two years! I “started” while preggers, but seeing as I was in my 3rd trimester I gave it up, then with the ups and downs of having a baby and working it’s never been touched since 🙁 Would love to see keep it all neat and clean and treat it like the closet it is! And finding clothes without being avalanched on would be a HUGE plus 🙂

  1762. I love me some Lowes! I love hosting and entertaining parties, but I can no longer cram all my junk into the cabinets so… I could use some help from Lowe’s to help turn an ordinary closet into a new home for all my party supplies.

  1763. Love Me Some Lowes! I actually have the exact same organization disaster spot as you Katie. It’s my kitchen desk, and I’ve been wanting to organize it for quite some time now. Hope I win! Thanks for the giveaway!

  1766. Love me some Lowes

    I am in massive needof getting my photo/design studio organized at home…All influences from you there Kaite!

  1767. love me some lowes!

    love me your transformation too. 🙂

    my laundry room needs some serious attention. just because it houses the cat boxes, doesn’t mean it has to look like poop too, right??

  1768. Love Me Some Lowes….

    I need to “do it” in my guest room. It needs some serious organization 🙂

  1773. Love me some Lowes. My house doesn’t have a pantry so I definitely need to find a better solution for organizing my canned goods.

  1774. Love me some Lowes!

    I just oranized our twin sliding door closets this weekend. But besides closet organizing I love taking charge of our IKEA Billy bookcase with doors on it. I’ve stenciled the doors so the clutter is partially bidden but sometimes it just needs some work and sprucing up with baskets and bins.

  1776. Love Me Some Lowe’s! Our whole office looks like your desk, major dumping grounds in desparate need of some serious organization!
    Your desk looks great, really wish I had the visualization you do to make it come to life though! Thanks for sharing!

  1777. Love me some Lowes!
    Would love to organize my office, especially because we’re downsizing it from an entire bedroom to a tiny corner in the basement.

  1778. Love me some Lowes!

    I am going to turn our office (which currently also features our treadmill) into a craft room. This would help get that started!

  1779. ”Love me some Lowes”

    I badly need to organize my office desk. It is currently more of a crap pile.

  1780. Love me some Lowe’s!

    My guest room–it’s where stuff I don’t know what do with goes to die. Lord help me if I have a visitor.

  1783. Love me some Lowes!!! I wanna do it in the bedroom! (organize that is haha! our office desk and bills are in there, and man, are they taking over!)

  1784. Love me some Lowes…

    The “storage” closet in my home office has been ignored for far too long. We desperately need built in shelving !

  1785. Love me some Lowe’s! I could use storage just about everywhere in my home because my boyfriend and I just combined our two, separate, 660 sq. ft. apartments into just ONE 660 sq. ft. apartment. First and foremost, though, I would love to tackle the computer desk as it is a hideous spot of cords, papers, supplies, gadgets, and terrible…everything.

  1788. love me some lowes!!!
    we would love some help with our office. it serves as command central for our business as well as our family of 5. we have tried many times to figure it out, but have never nailed it.
    thanks,
    molly

  1790. Love me some Lowe’s!

    I need help in my sewing/office area. It’s a lovely little corner off my kitchen that I’m having trouble getting just right.

  1792. Love Me Some Lowes

    My kitchen is the place that needs some fixin’ up and organization. I would LOVE to get some stuff to get goin’ on this room. My house is over 100 years old (I love it though) and can’t wait to put some bead board up, some shelves, vinyl, etc. I need money to buy the bead board. A Lowe’s gift card would be perrrrrfect! Thanks for the opportunity!

  1793. Love me some Lowes…
    The closet in our guest bedroom-so much inspiration so little I’ve done with it ; )

  1798. Love me some Lowes!!!

    We just bought a 70’s fixer upper and could really use some organizion everywhere!. $100 would go a long way!

  1799. Love me some Lowes!!

    I would do it in my pantry! My pantry is in desperate need of a make over. And desperate never looks good on anyone. LOL

  1800. Love me some Lowes! I’d love to organize the garage. I inherited some crooked, rusty shelving that really should be retired and upgraded. It’s embarrassing.

  1803. LOVE ME SOME LOWE’S!

    I’d love to do it in my guest bedroom. Right now it is a laundry room/crafting area/office/demolition space. It’s a disaster.

  1805. Love me some Lowes – for reals though, I do! I would more than love to organize my desk area in my room. A bedroom may not be the ideal spot for a mini office, but I’m working with what I have and she (she being my office/ desk area) needs some lovin’. P.S. LOVE your blog already- after following a link from the fab Mandilicious today. Keep up the amazing blogging. 😉

  1806. Love me some Lowes!
    I need to organize the paper mess that lives all over our dining room/kitchen/boxes in the closet…

  1807. Love me some Lowe’s! SO many areas need organizing, but I think my loft needs the most love – became a dumping ground for everything!

  1808. Love me some Lowes — i really need to organize our laundry room. We have too much stuff and not enough space to store it. Would make the hubby very happy:)

  1809. Love me some Lowes

    GREAT JOB with your project! I could definitely use some organization in my office/guest room!

  1811. Love Me Some Lowes!

    My front hall closet (aka dumping zone) is in desperate need of some love 🙂

  1816. Love me some Lowe’s! I would love to get our basement organized. It’s scary and depressing down there.

  1819. love me some lowe’s!!

    we have a little area at the top of our stairs that now contains a large, hollow, half wall. we’d like to tear out that wall and create a little ORGANIZED desk area in its place 🙂

  1820. Love me some Lowes!! I would love to organize my laundry/mud room because 98% of the people who enter our home enter through the laundry/mud room and it is just dreadful.

  1821. Love me some Lowes!

    Our home office is in some desperate need of organization so my husband can actually work in it!

  1822. Love me some Lowes!
    My spare bedroom/craft room/only closet on the first floor room looks like a disaster area!!

  1823. Love Me Some Lowes

    My dining room, especially the table, is a favorite dumping site for shopping bags, school books, mail, laptops, etc. When we dine we also relocate said items to a dining room wing chair. Not sure how to fix but am searching for solutions!

  1824. Love me some Lowes!

    We are currently in the process of:
    -eliminating the sleeping part of the studio/guest bedroom
    -moving the office into the studio
    -setting up a nursery (for someday – I hear ya on the cranky part) in the old office room
    -eliminating the bookshelves in the dining room
    -building built-ins for the books to be relocated to the living room
    -painting the living room & dining room a gorgeous gray
    -buying a new couch for the living room with a pull out to replace the guest bed that got booted from the plan

    So $100 Lowes-bux would be miiiiiighty useful right about now. (But c’mon. It would ALWAYS be handy.)

  1826. Love me some Lowes!

    I wanna do it all over my new house.

    But mostly, in our office, in which none of our files and paperwork have homes yet 🙁

    LOVE the blog!

    TG

  1827. Love me some Lowes!

    I have a spot just like yours…my kitchen table. It’s the first horizontal space available when you come in the door, so it ends up collecting junk…pocketbooks, random papers, mail, magazines, etc. I’d love to organize it a bit better, with some sort of “system” I could stick with!

  1829. LOVE ME SOME LOWE’S!!! <3 <3

    I desperately need to figure out a solution to all the shoes that pile up in my entryway, and all the paper clutter that is taking over my office desk! Help help help!

  1833. “Love me some Lowes”!!!!!!!

    You name a spot in my house and it need organizing. Except the laundry room. I just finished
    that one!

    🙂

  1836. Love me some Lowes!!

    I really need to organize my laundry room…we are getting ready for a major overhaul!!

    -Nicole H.

  1838. Love me some Lowes! My trouble spot is my desk area in the playroom. It would love some attention! =)

  1839. Love me some Lowes! I would love to redo the closets in our office. They’re a mess of craft, game, and outdoor equipment – yikes!

  1840. Love me some lowes! I wanna do it in the study! We recently moved and that is the room the junk has ended up in. Such a mess!

  1843. Love me some Lowes!
    My kitchen desk looks just like yours! That’s my number one do it now spot.

  1844. Love me some Lowes!

    I’d start my desk area…
    Or laundry…

    Or…

    We’ve got a lot of organizing to do in our house. 😉

  1845. Love me some Lowes!! Umm…my whole house!! Yep, I need to organize every room in my house. Lol!

  1847. Love me some lowes

    My wife is obsessed with organizing, so I’m sure she’d find some project

  1848. Love me some lowes

    I have got to organize my basement office/sewing room because now that baby #2 is on the way, it is now going to be a basement office/sewing room/guest room. We actually have done the whole file cabinet and shredding old papers, but we have a long ways to go and a lot of organization to happen!

  1854. Love me some Lowes!! Well, my Husband definitely loves him some Lowes and some organization. We could use a little love in the office or garage… two of his favorite places to work on all of his projects.

  1855. So I was just going to pop over and say that the desk looks fabulous and I love elephants too (and I’m not sure why)… but then I saw that it is a contest. And I don’t wanna look like one of those losers who doesn’t know how to enter a blog contest. ha! So, I guess I shall enter too..

    Love me some Lowe’s

    And I would love to do it in my entryway. Organize, right? haha

  1856. LOVE me some Lowe’s!

    I would organize my dresser in the master bedroom. It is similar to your desk problem – I just dump stuff there when I dont have a place for it!

    Thanks for the giveaway 🙂

  1858. Do you have any idea how happy this post makes my heart? Seriously, you did it SO right. Better than right. It is now such a joyful dreamy space and exactly why I love to organize.

    You are a rockstar my lovely friend.

    xoxo!
    Jen

  1859. Yay! approval from you is like a gold star from the master jedi of organizing….you can only imagine this jedi is happy 🙂

  1860. Love me some Lowes!

    My entryway from the side door needs some love. It’s the dropoff are for shoes, jackets, and keys so it needs something to get everything organized.

  1861. LOVE ME SOME LOWES!

    I’m dying to do it in a the corner of our kitchen. It’s like a black hole for all things junk mail, phone chargers, magazines, and just plain crap. Of course, it would help if we could get the rest of the house under control and give some of those things a new home, but that is a much bigger battle!

  1862. Love me some Lowes!

    I would get to organizing the inside of my kitchen cabinets. They are a hot mess. Oh, and don’t get me started on my closet, that thing needs an intervention… do they sell those at Lowes? Oh, if only TLC had a store 🙂

  1870. I’m just now reading this post. Yes, I’m a few months behind…. Where did you get the green storage bin that you use for your bills and comic books? My hubby and I saw ones similar to those on an episode of Big Bang Theory. Since then, he’s been on the hunt for them to store his hotrod magazines.
    Thanks so much!

  1872. Love me some lowes!

    I am in desparate need of organizing our laundry/mud room. Those wire shelves above the washer/dryer need to go.
