You May Not Have Thought Of…Silver Sharpie Labeling


Since Spring has officially arrived, I have found it is time to do some more cleaning. With our 5 year wedding anniversary just around the corner, I want to go through every room in our house and make sure that the “stuff” we have is needed or will be needed. If not, it’s outta here….
I love a good ole country, rustic, DIY look. There is something about it that is simple. Something that is refreshing. I have to admit that sometimes that thought of having so many DIY projects going on at once, is overwhelming. In fact, I have tried to downsize my project collection BIG time and it…
I was inspired. Last night, one of our youth group leaders did a lesson on dreaming big and what that looks like being a Christian. As I sat there hearing her talk about what America says the American dream is, I kept thinking how wrong we as a culture have it. I have moments when…
I feel like the word “enough” in our society is not acceptable. Our culture screams for more and More and MORE. Enough is never “enough”. And that is why I think as mothers we struggle to find that “enoughness”. How many times have you wondered if you are doing enough and even if you ARE…
I often wonder if the little things really do matter. Don’t you? Have you ever taken the time to think about the little things you do as a parent, as a daughter, as a wife, or as a friend? Do you ever wonder if it’s really making a difference? You may never know and maybe…
Paging through magazines, looking through the latest sales ad, listening to your friends talk about the latest and greatest “thing” they just bought. Ever look in that magazine or scroll through that blog and wish your home looked like it was straight out of House Beautiful or Country Living? I have my days. But more…

That is awesome that you even labeled a chair – well, now you know where it is and no one can discreetly steal it! Love it and thanks for sharing!
This is genius. Thanks for the great tip! I took the advice and just silver sharpied my spices. Woot! Oh my goodness, this will save time and make it easy for everyone to see what they want. Great tip!!
Thank you! I am glad that you have been able to put this to use – it has made a HUGE difference in our home and it sounds like yours too 🙂
I really want to share how I do my spices, but it's sort of hard to explain. I'll give it a shot, and if you like the idea, I'll forward pix.
We took some trim 1/2"x2" and cut it to just under the width of a cabinet door. My sweetheart mounted them on the door with 1/2"x1/2" brackets. About an inch above the ends of each mounted piece of trim, he put a 2" metal bracket. Then we strung strong wire through the holes on the brackets, making a line between the two brackets just under an inch from the top of each piece of wood. That made a little retainer to hold the little plastic containers of spices–in alphabetical order. Make sense? I keep any extra amounts of each spice in the back of a bottom drawer, where nothing else ever goes. Works for us!
Hi Mary :). I would LOVE to see pictures of this! Even detailed pics of the basics to the finished product? I see a guest post coming soon ;)???? This sounds like a GREAT idea and a DIY project, which makes this even better! Let me know your thoughts 🙂
My Awesome Wonderful and I are traveling, and I'm just catching up with my posts. When we get back home, I'll do this very thing. Many who have seen this project have replicated it. So, yes, I'd love to help your other friends.
Awesome! Thank you Mary 🙂
