Genius!!

Have you ever thought of an idea on how to fix a problem all by yourself and then couldn't help but beam with a little bit of pride when it worked?  Well, that was me the other day.  I turned into a genius.  However, my random strokes of genius often seem to be common sense to everyone else. This is why I am choosing not to look this idea up on Pinterest, other blogs, the internet, etsy, etc. This approach will ensure my happy dance doesn't have to stop every time I walk into my closest.

All of that being said....the other day the hubs and I went to IKEA.  Needless to say it was a happy day.  We bought some shoe holders. I love them, but they do not hold my boots. Therefore, my boots have been flopping over on the ground.  (I know...big problem, right?) But if you struggle with OCD like me, it can be. :) 

I have seen OTHER ideas about how to make sure your boots do not flop over.  However, I came up with this idea all by myself.  I decided to put the inside of a paper towel roll in my boots. This way there is no flopping over.  When I showed Jack how genius this was he tried to tell me that I am definitely not the first to figure this out.  I just ignored him because I figured it out on my own too! So, here is pictures of my genius idea (that I am sure others have thought of as well).  Go ahead and take this idea (if it is not common sense) so your boots do not flop over. :)

Just a little bit of color!

I painted around the fire place and a hidden door in our living room. It is the same color as some picture frames in the room. I love it!  P.s.  My dog is naturally that perfect. :)
