Mine was about 1.5 yards long and about 7 inches wide.

So, if you haven’t got one already, plant yourself a lilac and enjoy all the free awesomeness for years to come.Well, it might not be the prettiest thing, but it sure makes me happy every time I see it sitting there in the corner of my mud room, all ready to help whenever needed.. We’ve had a bit of a problem since moving into this house almost two years ago.Our garage is a disaster zone unlike you’ve ever seen.

The tools and hardware and junk are all piled together in giant heaps on top of the various work benches.So finding anything is nearly impossible, if you can even get to the work benches past the bikes, several ride-on lawn mowers, stacks of flooring waiting to be installed and power tools all over the floor.It’s bad.. There’s a little skinny hard-to-get-to cupboard in the house that I was using, but it wasn’t working out so well, and my “house tools” kept mysteriously ending up back in the garage..

I found this old shoe rack in the basement, and you might have one just like it lurking around somewhere.I put it by the door to the mudroom and now everything I need is right there waiting for me on my way outside.

The little angled shelves are perfect for grabbing whatever I need quickly and easily.. Terra cotta pots make it even easier to fill er’ up with all my gardening and quick home repair necessities..

So what do we have here?I just love how soft and textury and homey they are.. Well, I was tempted to make another one for Fall this year.

Is there a more textury season than Fall?I had a little bit of a different idea though after looking at some of my favorite images of Fall entryways..

I used a long piece of twine to tie fabric strips to and made a garland!.Ok, truth be told, this really isn’t much of a garland.
