Being stuck at home due to the pandemic quarantine that’s happening right now all over the world is not great as many of us have to adapt, to make sacrifices and to give up a lot of things

However, we shouldn’t let it have a big negative impact on us either so let’s take this opportunity to do projects around the house. There are plenty of crafts that you can do to pass the time and entertain yourself and the whole family and we made a list with our favorite ones that we think you’re going to enjoy too. Since you probably have a few tin cans lying around right now, it might be fun to put them to good use and repurpose them once you empty the contents. You can decorate some tin cans and turn into lovely containers which you can then use as pencil holders, planters and so on. Check out this lovely rustic design....

A proper shoe storage system is a must for every home, whether you have a big collection or just a few pairs

It’s surprising that even with all the different options to choose from it’s still difficult to find the one that makes sense for you and your home.

Right now we’d like to focus on the entryway bench, more exactly to look at a few of the designs and ideas you could find inspiration in when building something yourself from scratch. This entryway bench may not look like much when you first look at it but then you realize the top has a hinge and can be lifted up to reveal a secret and also generous storage area with several deep compartments. Check out hertoolbelt to find out how this was built. This entryway bench also has some built-in storage under its seat but instead of a compact and blocky design like the one above it looks more lightweight and sleek. The slatted shelves at the bottom are...

The entryway is the first space you and your guests see when you come home and when you leave and should look and feel inviting while at the same time offering sensible storage options for things like coats, shoes, keys and other items

Finding a good way to blend aesthetics and function takes some trial and error and requires a bit of research. Hopefully the project we’ve gathered for you today will inspire you to make some changes or at least give you some good ideas for the perfect entryway organizer. Instead of hiding your shoes under a bench or inside a closet, how about you put them on display? Yes, it’s a bit unconventional but chances are you are too and let’s be realistic, you won’t keep all your pairs of shoes on shelves. You can select a few that would look cool up there and hide the rest. Check out the project on lilyardor. Some things can look nice and be...
