When it comes to decorating and organizing, many people are short on both the time and money to put it all together! Luckily, it doesn’t have to be difficult. And one of the easiest ways to make your home look great quickly and cheaply is to repurpose items you already have.

1. Tea cups make great jewelry organizers. Not sure what to do with all those loose rings, bracelets and earrings? Try storing them in old china teacups. They look lovely when arranged on a vanity or even in a drawer!

2. Hang art on clipboards. Yes, regular old clipboards! These add a little more dimension and are much more interesting and unique than traditional picture frames.

3. Use a piece of a ladder as a clothes drying rack. Forget about traditional drying racks - just cut a piece off of an old ladder, paint it a pretty color, and suspend (using sturdy hooks!) from the ceiling. It’s an instant upgrade to your laundry room!
