Radiator Organizer




This little idea has been brewing in my head for quite some time. A place for Patrick to keep some toys/books, and something to make use of the radiator as well! I was going to use some corduroy on it, but the second I saw Castle Peeps by Lizzy House, I knew that was the right choice, and it was time to make my radiator organizer!



It all came together rather quickly. The larger background piece has a layer of quilt batting inside of it. It measures about 24 inches across and has two ties at either corner. I flipped over the top of it to create a sleeve for a dowel to prevent sagging.

The hardest part was deciding which of the Castle Peeps fabric I was going to use! They are all so amazingly fun!



If I had to do it again, I would make the ties a bit longer. I had only enough room to knot the around the radiator top..I would have preferred a bow...Ahh well...there are many many more radiators in this house that could use some love :)

What a clever idea! Great way to keep organized and camouflage the radiator.

That's a very clever idea! Now I'm wondering if that would work for our radiators (they are different from your's) too...
