Ladders can usually be found stuffed in the garage, between the toolbox and the trash cans. But believe it or not, they make for some pretty sweet storage solutions inside the home.

If you're growing some hearty autumn/winter vegetables, you probably can't eat them all (do they multiply underground or what?).
Here's a cute idea for making a carrot vase (albeit that's one GIANT carrot) from the folks over on Design Sponge. Wonderful.

I saw the movie Psycho years ago, and to this day I always think about it whenever I'm in the shower. Maybe that's why this bloody shower curtain, which I found in the I Love Halloween group, gives me the chills.
You can a similar curtain on Amazon.com or at any Halloween or party store, but MommaHud decided to make her own, complete with matching tablecloth!

Not long ago, I was in Home Decor and So Much More! and came across the lovely black dining room of CafeMom Ambyr. Isn't it gorgeous? I've never considered painting any room in my home black, and surely not a dining room.
However, after seeing these photos, I think differently.

GreenB's kids' new art area
CafeMom GreenB recently gave her garage a makeover and turned it into a creative art space and playroom for her two sons. Aren't her boys lucky kids?
I love this little creative arts and crafts corner. So organized!
