I’ve tried several filing systems and this is hands-down my favorite of them all. Why? It’s simple to maintain and visual. I’m totally the creative type so I NEED to [...]
This is where I spend 75% of my day- in my home office. Since I spend the majority of my time in one space, I wanted to make it feel [...]
Thongs are always uncomfortable to talk about (no pun intended). However, most of us have them for our tight dresses, tight pants, and white shorts. Here’s what I do when [...]
I’ll be the first to admit, I hate folding. The only thing I don’t mind folding are underwear and socks (so easy). Unfortunately in this house we wear more than [...]
I don’t know about you, but when kitchen pans are hard to access, I never want to bake. Just the thought of removing a tall stack of loud pots and [...]
Aren’t these animal storage bins the cutest?! I found them at Target and knew they’d be perfect for one of the mommies I was helping. In the picture, it looks [...]
Have you ever seen a closet with an angled wall? If not, see below. This is a pantry I designed, Ed installed, and I organized. The original pantry design had [...]
This pantry took me a while to get the “look” and “function” right. I kept switching things around as I was figuring out what works for Ed and I (based [...]
Here’s a bathroom cabinet I tackled a while back. I used adhesive hooks (with a thin metal hook) to hang all of the flat irons and curling irons on the [...]
A lot of medicine cabinet doors are magnetic (most people never realize until they check)! If yours is magnetic, lucky you, you instantly now have more storage space. In the [...]
Okay, I will admit- this project took forever to do. Imagine sorting hundreds of nails, screws, nuts, bolts, and anchors that all look the same. Sounds daunting (and it was). [...]
If you’re an elfa fan (the shelving brand from The Container Store), then the below shelf label should look familiar to you. You probably already have these labels (if you [...]
I love organizing with pegboards because you can move the pegs around as the contents change making it super flexible. In the picture below, I corralled all of my ribbon, [...]
Mail really isn’t that complicated. It’s only complicated when you let it go and then all of the sudden there are piles everywhere. So, how do you avoid getting overwhelmed [...]
Here’s a picture of my “paper” office supplies from my home office. Can you tell what the common denominator is between all of these items (e.g., file folders, notepads, mailing [...]
I’ve always been a big snacker and nothing is more frustrating than going to the pantry for a snack and not being able to find what you’re looking for! An [...]
One way to get organized (and teach others where things belong) is to play a matching game with color-coded dot stickers. For example, see the spices below. This pantry belongs [...]
Bathroom cabinets can become a catch-all for anything makeup and/or hair related. That said, it’s easy to lose (or simply misplace) all of those tiny bobby pins and hair ties [...]
Have you ever picked too many paint swatches at Home Depot or Lowes and then felt bad just tossing them in the trash can because you no longer needed them? [...]
Ok, first off, this isn’t my closet (although I wish it was). This is my old client’s closet that we tackled together years ago. Isn’t it beautiful? It’s like Carrie [...]
This is one of my favorite closets in my house. It’s the linen closet. I use this space to organize all of the small things from the bathroom: toiletries, cosmetics, [...]
I sort the clothes in my closet by type, then by color. For example, all of my long-sleeve shirts are hung together in ONE section in rainbow order. The same [...]
Ughh- wires and cords are such a pain to organize. In fact, they are on my top 10 list of least favorite things to organize. Why? Because they are so [...]
No matter how old I get, I’ll always love stickers. Why? Because they are so cheery and fun to use when sending cards or notes in the mail. I’m a [...]
If you’re guilty of fridge clutter (fridge clutter = a million and one things hanging on your fridge that often fall down when the fridge is opened and closed), try [...]
Gift wrap is so annoying when its NOT stored properly (the rolls just get in the way and the ends end up wrinkled and torn). Luckily, there’s an easy fix [...]
