Beautiful Ikea Hack from The Painted Hive. I love me a library card catalogue. Seriously, I’ve wanted one or years and years and years! Now I can have my own! Bonus points or the drawers being big enough to fit more than catalogue cards and under five hundred bucks!

Beaded Electrical Cords by Nathalie Costes via Apartment Therapy
Wooden beads for those power cords you just can’t hide! The photo is of a pre-made version by Nathalie Costes but I think a DIY version is totally doable. And with most power cords being removable at the appliance you might not even have to widen any holes.  I’m definitely adding this one to the to-do list.

missjamaicanmutt asked: Do you still have a pinterest? I tried looking and I know you answered this previously but the link posted did not work. I try to use it to keep organized and your website has a boat load of projects that will be used as soon as I get my new house this fall.

Yes i do still have a Pinterest account! I did recently change my url though. It is now http://pinterest.com/modernwednesday/ and is 929 pins strong lol. I am trying to organize it better right now. At first I had only a few boards for lots of pins now I have lots of boards to better streamline the pinning/following process.

Cheers, Melissa
