I have a little secret. I’ll spill the beans, but everyone has to promise not to tell Jon. Normally I dread trips to Home Depot. I find that even a quick trip can lead to an hour long trip of Jon dragging me up and down the aisles for one thing or another aka it’s boring. Sometimes though I enjoy the trips, because I wander the aisles trying to find things that I can re-purpose and in one of my last trips I hit gold!
I’m always looking for stylish items that I can use for organization and during a trip to the tool aisle I found my latest love….KLEIN TOOL BAGS!
Now I know they are meant for professionals and to be used with tools, but lets think outside the box.
1. The canvas zipper bag can easily hold store my nail polish bottles or crayons/markers for kids in a craft room.
2. The straight wall bucket can easily be placed in a living room and used to storage a throw blanket or newspaper or in a kids room you can use it to sort Lego’s or blocks.
3.My favorite canvas bag is only $8.77 and I can easily store my make-up in them or hold client receipts. Kids can use them as a pencil case holder or all of those little toys they pick up that end up all over their rooms.
4. This oval basket can be hung up with hooks. Hang them in an wardrobe or on the back of closet door and use it to hang all of your odds and ends. You can fill it with gloves, sunglasses, sunscreen, hairbrushes, etc.
5. The bolt bag is the perfect size to house my monthly magazines and would look very chic in my office hanging on the wall.
6. The tool bag is available in a variety of sizes. You could use one as a handbag or use a larger size as a weekend bag. I’m thinking of picking one up to hold my notepad, tape measures, paint decks, etc and bring them to client meetings.
7. Plain canvas not your thing? Don’t worry they are starting to expand to color. My favorite zipper bag is not available in 4 additional colors including orange! You can pick up the set of 4 here!
Have you found and any chic and cheap amazing finds within the aisles of Home Depot?
Ha! Love this!! I found Klein bags about 6 months ago when my husband brought home #6 … and didn’t end up using it. With a little insert making — it is now my camera and accessories bag!!
Ha ha, when the Bf came home with the multicolor bags for work I was envious. Now I have my own set and they hold all my makeup. Really loving the cute white zipper pouch above. I think I just might have to make a special trip to Depot to get one.
I just discovered Klein tool bags last year, and I LOVE them! Well, okay, I don’t actually *own* one yet, but I will! 😉 They’re just too cool for words. Thanks for posting this! And I think I may have to buy that Straight Wall Bucket now! I LOVE it! 🙂
p.s. Our last name is Klein… LOL. That probably is a HUGE reason I love these so much. 😉 And another reason why I MUST own one. 😀
actually, I already have the little tool bag! my husband came home with it {for his own tools, of course} and I snatched it up right away for myself! I really love the rope handle bucket bag ~ will have to go look for that this weekend! thanks for sharing!
And this is why I love your blog… you find ways to make my house beautimous + functional on the CHEAP!! I had literally resorted to using repurposed Easter baskets (yes, Easter baskets) on my deck to corral the random little pool party essentials that usually end up scattered all over because I couldn’t find any thing durable, cute, and reasonably priced…. until now! This post just made my day. 😀
Oh my goodness, Camila, we are totally on the same wavelength right now. I just found these a couple of days ago, and I fell madly in love. They are utilitarian and fantastic!
Love these! I can think of many uses & a great look.

They featured best hardware store finds…I think they missed one of the best ones!
The actual magazine article had several pages though. This link I found on their website only shows 21 items. Yours should be at the top!
I love these! I am potentially making a big move( and by when I say big, i mean not only location but from a 2 bedroom condo to a studio..ugh why no one has afforable rent for people with puppies and cars is beyond me)
anyways, I think #4 would be great in a bathroom maybe..store makeup and lotions and other goodies..maybe line three up? hmm

ON THE BLOG
My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
In our new home, the basement was completely unfinished. It was literally one of those dark spaces that you see in horror movies and are terrified of getting locked into. However, with the square footage in this house, I knew I needed to make the basement another workable and liveable floor of the house instead […]
The time has come to finally share our new kitchen reveal. For those of you that have been with us from the beginning, we bought a house right before the pandemic hit. It was a total gut job from top to bottom. We started our demo and then the world shut down. Enter the delays […]
Picking out paint colors for a new home can be overwhelming. I find that many times when I meet with a new client the entire house is simply just painted white or a light gray. Now, I think there is a time and place for those colors, but with paint, there is just so much […]
What to look for when it comes to picking out kitchen appliances: Leave room in your budget for appliances. When it comes to kitchen renovations everyone knows that the cabinetry and the labor of demoing and installing cabinetry is going to eat a lot of your budget. However, the second most expensive part of a […]
I don’t think I’m alone in thinking that designing a kitchen is an overwhelming undertaking. I’m an interior designer and even I find it stressful to iron out all of those details. So, when it comes time to design a kitchen I always like to partner with a kitchen designer to make sure I’m remembering […]
These are great looking, I love the one with the rope, thanks for the heads-up on this!! I think you might have started a new trend!! Kathysue
I love this! I’ve been searching for something to corral all the magazines. This is perfect! Thanks!
