***This is another project in the Utah Jazz Room we’re doing for my son. Click to see the others!*** I started with a basic zippered linen/cotton blend pillow cover from IKEA. It was $6.

Are you familiar with CanOrganizer? I’ll admit that I was not, until they contacted me about reviewing their products. I do, however, own 2 other brands/types of can rotation systems, and they were WAY more expensive than CanOrganizer’s. So, I was interested to see how their stuff compared. The organizers arrived flat and wrapped in […]
