This DIY acrylic calendar doesn’t have to replaced every year (thanks to dry erase markers) and it looks pretty on an office wall.

Tip: Use multi-colored dry erase markers for different events so it’s easy to spot what kind of activities you have planned for the week.

Need more space for your accessories? Elsie put boards with gold hooks on her closet wall to hang jewelry, bags, and hats.

You could also use hexagon knobs instead of hooks and if you’re organizing a kids room, a set of animal hooks would be cute.

Speaking of closet organization, Elsie shared her favorite closet organization tips in this post (like using a label maker and implementing open storage for special items).

An acrylic earring holder or a set of clay ring dishes can really keep your jewelry in check.

You can easily organize dry goods in your kitchen using two things—paint pens and storage jars.

Don’t forget that adding countertop canisters will also save you a lot of back-and-forth to the pantry.
