Welcome to Party Junk 264 – upcycled organizing and storage
Every Friday, 7 PM through Sunday 11 PM Pacific
Greetings and a happy weekend to you!
If you’ve been tuning into Funky Junk the last few weeks, we’ve been hosting a Heap of Change challenge, where purging and organizing has been the name of the game. That led me to this weekend’s theme of upcycled organizing and storage.
We only have so much room in our homes. And it’s my theory that if we store our junk inside the very things we love to look at, you get decorating and productivity in one fell swoop! So here are a few projects that do it for me…
Junk organizer in a workshop / Scavenger Chic
This right here is every junker’s dream storage. Storing junk inside junk… total style and function all in one. In 4 layers even! Don’t you adore the patina?
Cereal box drawer storage / Songbird
Have you ever seen a junk drawer so gorgeous? Trust me when I say you already have everything you need to make this drawer organizer in your own home right now!
Thread storage on a knife block / Refresh Living
Put up your hand if hunting for thread drives you crazy… me too. That’s why this idea is genius!
Pallet wood wall rack / Knick of Time
A chunk of pallet is perfect for this coat rack. Don’t you love a build that’s kinda already built for you?
Junk styled tape holder / Funky Junk Interiors
I have no idea what this red contraption really is, but it reminds me of the game Mouse Trap. 🙂 And is perfect for storing tape and twine.
Toolbox paint storage / Funky Junk Interiors
Why yes, I do store craft paint upside down in a toolbox. Right side up in some cases too! Makes for super easy transporting around the house, and easy to see your colours.
Paint brushes in mason jars / Funky Junk Interiors
Mason jars inside drawers make paintbrush sorting a breeze! Click the link for more upcycled ideas in my own paint studio.
Pallet tool storage shelf / Funky Junk Interiors
Teamed up with storage cabinet cubbies and mason jars, this lowly pallet became a pretty decadent tool shelf for my workshop! Awesome project for the non builder types especially.

Donna, thanks for featuring my knife block to thread holder! I love all of these funky organization ideas – my wheels are turning. Thanks for the inspirational ideas!
Hi Donna,
My absolute favorite junk storage idea has to be yours. . .using an old wooden toolbox to store acrylic paints. I have one of those spinner racks for my acrylics but it takes up too much space and doesn’t really go with my craft room “décor”, which is somewhat junky. I have a couple of toolboxes – I’m a sucker for them, too – and can’t wait to load one up with paints! Right now it’s time for a glass of wine and an hour of visiting as many other bloggers on your Party as I can…love all of the ideas. Thanks for hosting the party and for sharing your very creative, very junky, ideas! Cheryl @ 22 Applegate Lane
Yes, yes, yes! I’m an organization junkie AND a vintage junkie – combine them? Even better!

Pallet tool storage is a fantastic idea. My husband will love it. I am going to show him your article! Thank you for sharing such an useful information! He will use it in the garage. Greets!
