In fact, I don’t know if I’ve ever lived somewhere that had one — even when I was a young kid. The concept of a box just for bread never struck me as necessary, but I’ve since learned that there’s so much more you can do with a bread box, which makes this rustic-yet-elegant new find from IKEA all the more exciting — because it’s secretly a storage superhero.

Clutter can sneak up on you if you’re not regularly decluttering your home and implementing organizational systems that actually work for you.

Clutter can be even harder to tame when it’s hiding in a spot you’re not checking often. READ MORE...

Joe is one half of the DIY duo @HomosWithHammers, an account he shares with his husband, Ricky Gonzalez.
