Transformation Tuesday #75

Happy Transformation Tuesday! Today has been a busy day (and I still have to go grocery shopping, ugh) but working on this post is a nice little break. Today's transformations really show how a simple change can make a very big difference. Enjoy!




This is a sign at the entrance to my subdivision. It took a little over a year to complete, as this was a community effort. Several of us took the letters off last summer and repainted the sign. A former resident made the letters, someone else painted them, and then yet another person put the finished letters on the sign. Definitely worth it, I think. A simple improvement, but a big difference!

Elaina, this is such a fun project to do with the community! Something I never would have thought to do. It's great that your neighbors all came together to work on something for the neighborhood.  The improved sign looks amazing! You all did a great job.  -Katie





When they switched my office at work they put me in this cubicle. I decided to add some of my personality to it and make it unique. It wasn’t much, but I really enjoyed working in that space. I even hung a sarong across the opening for privacy during Zoom meetings. I have moved on from here, but still miss my Zen cubby.

Laura, I love what you did with something as plain as a cubicle! You made it looks so cozy; I think zen is the perfect word for it, actually. The Zoom background is awesome--how fun!  -Katie




We don't have much space in our house for our son's toys. They are mostly in this one corner of the living room. As a toddler/preschooler he just had lots of little toys and the toy box with lots of colorful bins was great. As he's gotten older (just turned 7) he has several larger bins filled with toys that go together (Magna Tiles, Cars). We had 4 plastic storage bins piled on top of each other in addition to the toy box. He also has a zillion books (like his mom!) and the cloth bin holding the downstairs ones was falling apart. 


The whole thing was always cluttered looking, even when it had just been organized. I worked with my son to weed out toys he didn't want anymore and we replaced his toy box with this 6-cubby shelf that can hold most of his toys and the books we keep downstairs. The cloth bins do hold a random mix of toys, but you can't see them all the time. I love the way it looks in my living room and it's been easy to keep looking this way!

Lisa, I love the organization! I remember those days very well--when my kids were little, it looked like Toys R Us exploded in our living room (well, all over the house, really). We had those plastic bins, too, and they became a catch-all for everything. The new shelf looks great! I really like the fabric on the bins--and I'm sure you love the color being a little easier on the eyes, too ;)  -Katie

I used to publish ALL comments (even the mean ones) but I recently chose not to publish those. I always welcome constructive comments/criticism, but there is no need for unnecessary rudeness/hate. But please--I love reading what you have to say! (This comment form is super finicky, so I apologize if you're unable to comment)
