2512 Working in Style

The workspaces of the home get their fair share of attention as Vicki and Sloan show you how to create a handy workshop in the garage and organize the mudroom and laundry area. They also share tips on setting up a computer center for the entire family.
PROJECT IN THIS EPISODE: HOME ORGANIZATION IN LAUNDRY ROOM
Need help keeping your home organized? A great tool to use is personalized baskets. By giving each family member a place to store their items, it will help to keep the clutter to a minimum, and give you a great family project on a rainy day.
What you will need:
Lined basket(s)
Unfinished wooden letter(s)
Acrylic craft paint
Paint brush(es)
Ribbon
Needle
Thread
Staple gun
Staples
Many of these supplies are available at your local craft store and are fairly inexpensive. Start by painting your unfinished wooden letter a base color on all sides. After letting that coat dry, you can begin to embellish. (Pro-Tip: By dipping the end of the paint brush directly into the acrylic paint and then immediately placing the end of the paint brush perpendicular to the letter you have a perfect polka-dot every time.) Once the letter is decorated to your liking, cut a strip of ribbon to the length of your choice and attach to the back of the letter with a staple and staple gun. If your letter already has a staple, you can simply pry up the staple, thread the ribbon underneath and hammer the staple back into place. Tie the ribbon into a lovely bow and using a needle and thread, sew the ribbon into the lining of your basket to attach your letter. Now that there is a place for everything, everything can be put into its’ place. For more tips and ideas, visit www.foryourhome.com.

I have enjoyed watching the various FYH video clips and would love to see the one on organizing the garage / mud room / laudndry, however this video does not load and play. Hope it’s just a technical error that can be fixed. Thanks!
In the episode 2512 Working in Style you installed a foldout workbench in the garage. Is that a kit? who makes it if it is?
thanks
Bill
In episode 2 (#2512) of For Your Home you provided information on a drop-down table in the garage. I cannot get the video to play of that episode. Is there some other way I can get the info on this drop-down table? Thanks

I just caught the very end of the Episode 2- 2512 Working in Style on t.v. My husband and I have recently completed a renovation on our home and we still need to finish the mud room and laundry room. I would like to be able to show my husband the mud room/laundry room, as the layout from your show is very similar to ours. I am unable to get the video to play, it says it is “unaccessible.” Is it for purchase only?
Thank you!

Hello,

I enjoyed your Working In Style (2512) show today, but can’t fing info on the folding workbench or the wall tool organizer featured on the show on your website.
