24 Reader Space: Blogiversary Round Up!

This weekend when I was updating my blog layout and adding my project gallery, I went back through TWO years worth of amazing Reader Spaces and was left feeling inspired by you all over again!  You know how you can pick up the same magazine and see new things each time, it's kind of like that!

I thought that as a way to celebrate the blogiversary this week, I would pull some amazing projects completed by YOU!  These are real life projects my friends, that anyone can do!  Which is why they are so totally INSPIRING!!  Have fun indulging with me!



One of my first posts was when I crashed my BFF's organized home {we travel in pairs I tell ya!}.  



Amanda shared with us how she artfully arranged her beautiful built in bookcases {who knew we would later become blog BFF's?}






A couple of different reader's submitted some spectacular and unique ways to display and store their bangles!





Nikki showed us how she whipped her linen closet into super organized shape!




Shannon reminds us that shoe pockets are one of the best organizers ever because of their versatility!  Hats and mittens for her, but don't forget that it can also be used for those little things like cords, sunscreen, batteries and chargers!






Jane loves her pets and built this super organized pet station that also doubles as a wrapping station! 




Jen {has a fantastic name}, inspired us all with her incredible craft closet, complete with labels galore!




Jessica reminds us that being organized at work is equally important!




Danita created one of the cutest and most organized little play nooks I have ever seen!




Lisa took control of her itty bitty entry by building a dividing wall and this gorgeous bench with hooks!




Alicia left me oohing and awwing and so inspired with an incredible craft room before and after!  One of my favorite craft rooms ever.



Elizabeth inspires with an easy way to keep entry shoe pile up at bay, and what the power of some color can do to make you feel giddy about being organized!



Samantha created an organized play room that also functions as a space the whole family can use and grow with!



Alicia's laundry is so bright, fresh and organized, I could move right in and help her with her laundry each day.  Love.



Or maybe I could just take over Elsa's swoon worthy office space.  Yeah, I like that idea...



Tami made storing all those home improvement tools, fun and exciting with a can of red spray paint and peg board!!



Jenna showed us that filing cabinets are so last year!  There are so many other ways to keep your paper piles organized!



Erin's entire abode is overflowing with color and function.  I think we are sisters separated at birth!



Lisa was back again to share her incredible pantry transformation and how she utilized wall cavities to create endless amounts of storage!



Speaking of pantry, have you ever seen one so divine?  Me either.






Another abode that makes my heart smile.  Ashli shared endless amounts of organizing eye candy!



Jenna shows us the power of some simple hooks in a super small entry.  How lovely is that?  Just incredible.



Carly got me excited to make some changes in my own closet.  And then when I saw the rest of her home and was left speechless!  Love her!



Of course I wish I could share each and every makeover today, since they all have inspired me, so for even more, make sure to pop in and check out the project gallery.

This blog wouldn't be possible without you all!  Thank you for continuing to submit the projects that are changing your lives for the better!  And don't forget about this week's "Organizing Proud" link party going on right now!

Ok, so I must know, which Reader Space featured on IHeart Organizing, has inspired you to tackle a space in your home?  How did it go?
