Organizing is simply as means to an end
I hung a life-saver of a product on the back of the bathroom door recently. The Clever Pockets helped us clear the bathroom vanity, which makes “cleaning” much easier. We are using the Floral Black mini stash in my daughter’s bathroom. Surprisingly, there are still two empty pockets! What I love about this product is that is’t [...]
One way to lose your stuff at the back of a cabinet, especially the lower kitchen cabinets, is to not utilize every square inch to its fullest. To avoid disorganization and maximizing space, pull-out drawers work wonders. Years ago, pull-out drawers were only available as a custom option in cabinets, but today you can find them [...]
I want to feel like Carrie when I enter my closet. Don’t you? Hey, we start and end our days in the closet. It’s where we choose what we’ll wear to head out into the world. How do we make it a great space? Simple… Unless you have a ginormous closet, you want to remove all [...]
One way to determine what to keep and what needs to go is to look at your current lifestyle and ask yourself, when it comes to your stuff: “What’s relevant?” We all know that once we get married and/or have children, there’s a major shift that happens in terms of how our home is set [...]
In today’s world or reduce, reuse and recycle, you don’t have to spend a lot of money to create a cool space for your teen. Paint is an amazing game changer because it’s easy, inexpensive and not permanent, which is great if you’re in a rental or temporary space. Most teens have eliminated the big [...]

With warmer weather here and the school year nearing its end, now is a great time to clean out and organize the garage. Taking a proactive approach to this dreaded task (let’s face it, not much fun for most people–I get that!) will keep you on track so the next time you want to go [...]
I don’t know about you, but the promise of warmer weather has me motivated to get moving on spring cleaning projects. The first was to organize my garage so we could get to our gear as soon as the weather breaks. The bikes are ready, the tennis racquets handy and beach gear packed–so there’s some wishful thinking there, [...]
Organizing your entry hall can be simple. You’ll need a place for your keys, shoes, jackets and bags (hand bag, diaper bag, project bag, etc.). If you have a hall closet, use it. Hang jackets, use top shelf for a couple of baskets to hold gloves/mittens/scarves or goggles, bathing suits, and suncscreen for warm-weather months. [...]
Not too long ago, I read a blog post from John Trosko, an organizer in Los Angeles, about the new show on A&E called Storage Wars. The show chronicles the lives of four tough guys who basically prey on those who have stored their stuff in public storage facilities, then lapsed on the rent and now [...]
