This is such a brilliant diy idea for hiding a spare key! Attach a washer and bolt to the lid of a medicine bottle, match container, or other small container. Drill a hole in your patio furniture large enough for your container to fit in. Make sure that the container is a tight fit so that it doesn’t fall out. Alternatively, you could drill the hole slightly larger and glue a strong magnet inside to hold the container in place. (no source found)

I’ve shared this tutorial before in my 10 Ways To Cover Up Household Eyesores post. It is one of my favorite ideas so I thought I would share it again. Most hidden book storage ideas look fake to me. The books are all offset or wompy (yes, that’s a word!) and you can easily tell that they are not real books. This diy tutorial uses actual books and glues them to a box in a way that they look like just a normal group of books. (Tutorial – Sewing Barefoot)

Deep closets can be a pain. They are dark and you can never see anything in the back. Items get lost in the back, and if you don’t keep up on organizing and cleaning then closet turns into one giant black hole, swallowing everything in sight. This idea of shortening your closet and adding hidden storage behind your clothes is brilliant. Not only does it eliminate the black hole, but it’s a great place for a diy safe box or to hide your money and valuables. (no source found)
