Shopping Finds: Amy's 3 Favorite Things Of The Week (2/26)

I have not been paid to recommend any of these products. Here are three things I'm loving this week! Let's get started...

#1: Pampas Grass

I've been seeing these statement-making grasses everywhere online. I ordered a smaller version for my bedroom dresser and now I'm eyeing up some of the 4-ft foot options for the house. Major WOW factor.

Here's a link for the big, 4-foot option.

#2: The ULTIMATE, Inexpensive Shoe Rack

Just another stop on our DIY home projects.

Our back porch was full of shoes and jackets. More of a large storage space than an actual room. The reason? The huge closet had a swing IN door. It made over half of the closet unusable.

I took the door off (I'll show you what I'm doing in it's place in my next recommendation) and now all the stuff is IN the closet. It looks great! Anyway, I didn't want to spend a butt-ton of money on closet storage. After some research, I found the biggest, cheapest, well reviewed shoe rack of all time (insert heavenly harps and AAAHHHHS) The best part- it's 37 bucks and holds 50 pair of shoes.

Here's the link.

#3: A Closet Door (Pretty) Quick Fix

I mentioned above how our closet door was swinging in and eating up all the space.

Making the door swing out would've just created the same issue in our porch. What to do? Use a bi-fold closet door to create two small doors! By using closet doors, I saved a couple hundred bucks. Two separate 18x80 doors are not cheap.

You just remove the hardware from the bi-fold door. Sand lightly and paint it. I bought 4 hinges, new hardware and magnet clasps so the doors will stay closed. That's it!

I wish I could say I came up with this idea...I did not. I found this tutorial from "Miss Jen." Here's the link for how go from a Bi-fold Door to a Hinged Swing Door.

I'll finish the project this weekend and post the after pics next week!

Thanks for reading and happy shopping!
