I don’t know about you but getting ready for back to school is so nostalgic! I love picking out new clothes and school supplies it reminds me of my childhood -the thing I remember most of my childhood back-to-school prep though was organizing! My mom was always organizing everything the night before so that in the morning we just had to grab what we needed and head out the door. Now that I’m a mom (of two toddlers) that’s what I’m most excited about too- organizing!! That’s why when I was able to transform my mudroom for under $100 with Kitchen Stuff Plus I knew I had to share it with you guys.
So before I get into the nitty gritty there are a few main reasons why I always head to Kitchen Stuff Plus whenever I need anything for my home and for back to school
✅the selection is amazing they have everything from closet organization pieces to kids lunch boxes
✅ their prices are incredible I always find everything I need for the best price
✅ they offer free Canada-wide
shipping on orders $75 if you shop online
✅ all their stores are open now for in-store shopping
Ok so let’s get to it! My first issue was shoes. Every morning we spend ten minutes finding the pair to the other shoe and we (by we I mean me 🤣) literally are on our hands and knees going through the piles of shoes looking for the matching pair. It truly made getting their shoes stressful for them and me (see “before” photo below) and it took so much time! Totally unnecessary. So after going through their selection of shoe storage I decided to get 2 of KSP Fabric ’16 Shoe’ Cabinet (Grey) they were only 19.99 each and because they were stackable they fit perfectly in our closet and they fit all of our shoes! We have only had this organized for a few days but holy it has made the biggest difference. I can tell them which shows to grab from the cubby and within a few minutes we are all ready to head out!

Next I was struggling looking for a clean place to keep their masks. I find it so much easier to keep them in the mudroom so that we can grab and go whenever we head out. Same with sunscreen, bug spray and sunglasses. Their accessories were literally all over the mudroom and I used to keep them in random baskets and on the shelf but when we actually needed them, and were in a rush, we could never find exact what we needed. My solution was the KSP Linea ’20-Pocket’ Over-The-Door Shoe Organizer (Grey) l, it was only $11.99 and the small pockets were perfect for keeping everything in its own compartment and within easy reach. I kept all the kids stuff on the bottom row so they could easily reach in and grab what they need. I filled one cubby with Jacob’s masks, one with Jennas masks and did the same for their sunglasses and I put their sunscreen and bug spray a little higher for me!
I also used the top rows for the exact same thing but with mine and my husbands accessories. It has been a serious game-changer!
Before: (yes I am very embarrassed to post this- but real life right ? 🤷🏽♀️)
After
Last but not least I ordered 4 KSP Linea Storage Box with Window (Grey). These beauties which come with a little window on the side were only 11.99 and are the perfect place to store the kids hats and other spring accessories. I will also use these bins come winter to keep everyone’s gloves , hats and scarfs organized and in one spot! So far it’s been so helpful and it’s easy on the eyes !
Total spent: $99.93
Time used: 4 hours
Time and stress saved getting the kids out the door every morning: priceless
I honestly feel sooooo good now that this is over and I couldn’t be happier. I also love how much time this has saved me and I am now not so stressed preparing for school in the mornings because I know at least one aspect of getting ready for school will be smooth sailing thanks to Kitchen Stuff Plus!
Let me know if you take on any fun projects in the comments below! Happy organizing and thanks for the tuning in!
Jacob’s big boy room is finally complete- I am so excited to share it with you guys and thanks to Home Hardware we were able to complete it in 5 easy steps!!
1) FRESH COAT OF PAINT
When we moved into our house before Jacob was born,the office, which is now his bedroom was bright green. For some reason, we never thought to paint it…until now, and let me tell you a fresh coat of paint can make a world of a difference. After painting his room the shade White Dew using Beauti-Tone Signature Series 3.64L White Base Eggshell Finish Interior Latex Paint it felt like a completely new space! The only thing I wish is that I did it sooner. Painting is probably the easiest change to make in a room and it truly makes the biggest difference.

2) FLOATING SHELVES
The 2nd thing we did was install a little reading nook with some floating shelves and a small table set so Jacob has a place to hang out and read all his dinosaur books. Jacob has so many books and we were basically stacking them up on random shelves and miscellaneous baskets. I wanted a dedicated space for his collection of books and so we installed floating shelves at the foot of his bed to create his little nook! He loves sitting in that little corner and he loves being able to see his books and easily grab one off the shelf whenever he wants. We also placed the shelves close enough to the glider so that when my husband reads him his nightly bedtime stories the books are easily accessible. I cannot recommend floating shelves enough and Home Hardware had so many different hardware options. We used 4 of the Home Builder 8″ x 24″ Warm White Laminated Shelves and not only are they the perfect size for his little books, but they also fit his dinosaur figurines perfectly.
3) DIY DINOSAUR HOOKS
The 3rd piece to our puzzle was our DIY Dinosaur hooks! These were super easy to make, and we got everything we needed from our local Home Hardware. We cut up some dinosaurs my son already had lying around. I painted them, and we filled them with Gorilla Epoxy and nailed them onto a cedar plank. We also stained the plank with some grey stain we bought from Home Hardware and it turned out so beautifully. One tip: make sure to drill pilot holes into the epoxy before screwing in the dinosaurs to the wood!
4) CLOSET REVAMP
The 4th thing we did was organize his closet. I was using his closet to store my old clothes and we were actually keeping his clothes in the guestroom!!! I am so embarressed about that part but I am so happy with how this closet revamp turned out. I put my clothes into storage, added another ClosetMaid shelf to his closet, and grabbed some baskets for extra storage, and ta-da!
I chose the ClosetMaid 12″ x 4′ Closet Shelf Kit, with Hardware because we already had a similar shelf at the top of his closet and I wanted to keep the shelves consistent. My favourite part was that you can fit these ClosetMaid shelves into any closet because you can always cut it down to fit your space. Luckily our closet fit one of the ones that Home Hardware carries so we didn’t need to worry about that but it’s really very simple to do! I also ordered 2 Knape & Vogt 22″ x 17″ x 7″ Wire Mesh Baskets to keep at the bottom of his closet for shoes and for clothes that no longer fit/to keep his extra books in and they fit perfectly and look beautiful. Lastly, I bought 4 Whitmor 13″ x 15″ x 5″ Grey Storage Baskets to keep socks, pants, and accessories in! These baskets saved me from having to buy a dresser and it just makes sense for me to keep all of his clothes in his closet.
Overall, I am extremely happy with the baskets I chose,and I love that Home Hardware has such a great selection of closet organization tools- it made choosing what was right for me easy!
5) LIGHT FIXTURE UPGRADE
The last thing and my absolute favourite part was replacing his light fixture. It was a dingy square fixture that had been there since we moved in and we replaced it with a beautiful wood finish fixture with clear seeded glass. I am absolutely in love with this fixture and it fits in perfectly with the theme of his room!
Jacob was beyond excited to be in his new big boy dinosaur room – so much so, that today on our walk he told all the neighbours he has a big dinosaur room:)! I am so happy with the outcome and I love every single part of his room, maybe as much as he does.
