Blog Link Party with a Sizzling Summer Organizer {& Giveaway!}

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED

Today’s Blog Link Party is sponsored by Kirklands.

Kirkland’s offers stylish and fun décor items for every room in your home, including your outdoor space.

Last month I was asked to participate in Kirkland’s “Sizzling Summer blogger series and share my summertime creation that appeals to the entire family.

My family spends quite a bit of time outside in the summertime, but because it is so stinkin’ hot here in Arizona, time spent outside is usually time spent getting wet- swimming, playing in the sprinklers etc. My kids come and go inside and out all day long sometimes!

Right by our back door, we have this little black table:

It’s purpose is supposed to be decorative- a few knick knacks and magazines placed in an orderly fashion. But here is what the table has turned out to be:

A shelter for all the sandals that get kicked off as the kids come in. And I say “kids” but I really mean everyone.

And to be honest, this picture was taken at a good time of the day- usually the sandals are overtaking the floor and they eventually get covered up by pool towels!

But luckily, with the help of Kirkland’s this was all about to change!

I first got some ideas from Kirkland’s website to see what types of solutions they might have available in the store closest to my home. The variety was fabulous, so I piled the kids in the car, and we set off on our Mission: Summer Organization.

And can I just stop here for a minute to say how much I genuinely love this store? I had the hardest time deciding what to buy, and not because there wasn’t anything that struck my fancy, but because I had a budget and I needed to tell myself I couldn’t buy everything I wanted to!

Kirkland’s is a destination for affordable home décor items. And Kirkland’s accent pieces can help you introduce summertime fun into any poolside gathering or get-together with pieces that appeal to everyone.

Ok, so with a goal in mind to organize the mess by my back door, I stumbled across this fabulous chest and made it mine!

Not only is it BEAUTIFUL and it fits my space perfectly, it also serves a great function!

All those shoes…

…now have a place to stay in the top drawer.

But wait, there is more! Look at the inside of the chest:

The perfect spot for our towels and sunscreen! (This picture is a little deceiving- there are actually 6 towels in that basket, not 3. It is roomy!)

I also picked up this little bird cage ($5) and vintage key ring ($2.99) for some added decoration.

I absolutely LOVE this new piece in my home- isn’t it fantastic?

The nice people at Kirkland’s want to help put some sizzle in your summer and are offering

to give ONE LUCKY PERSON a $150 gift card to Kirkland’s!!
