We recently completed Project Paint Storage at our house, which included transferring all of our latex paint into plastic, screw-top canisters with labels, creating a customized paint deck, completing paint reference charts, compiling a kit to make organizing new paint quick and easy in the future, and finally organizing and storing all of our other painting supplies in our utility room. During the course of this project, we did a lot of research regarding ... View the Post

One of the blogs that inspired me to start my own was iHeartOrganizing.  This year, iHeart’s Jen is issuing a monthly organizing challenge, and February is focused on the kitchen. While I certainly need to give my pantry a major overhaul, I just knew I wouldn’t be able to complete that project this month - and fortunately in the meantime it’s behind a closed door. So I instead decide to participate in Jen’s challenge by tackling a smaller problem, but one that’s out in the open - our ... View the Post

On Monday, I shared an ambitious list of decorating and organizing projects that I hope to accomplish in 2015. Among the projects on the list are numerous areas of our home that I've organized {and reorganized} in the past, but that need attention again because they just aren't working for us. So before I tackle these spaces yet again, I decided to take a step back and figure out why some of our spaces stay so well organized while others continue to be problem spots. After taking the time to ... View the Post

Happy Friday, friends! I almost skipped Five Minute Friday this week because I was in NYC all week scoping out new trends and finding style inspiration, and not at home working on projects. But as I was unpacking my bag I remembered that one of the exhibitors at NY Now {a trade show of the latest innovations in home decor} had given me a large roll of "interior masking tape," so I decided to use it to give my iPad a really quick makeover. The iPad that I often carry in my purse just ... View the Post

I am slowly taking control of my closet! It's a pretty standard builder grade set up with hanging space and a few shelves. I would LOVE to start fresh with a custom closet with features like a built in shoe rack, drawers, and divided cubbies for my purses. But alas, spending money on a custom closet system is very low on our priority list. Instead, I've been slowly tweaking things in the closet {one five minute project at a time}, finding ways to make the space function more like a custom ... View the Post

A few months ago I shared my 10 Steps to Get Organized & Stay Organized, and it prompted a lot of questions from readers. You all wanted to know where I like to shop for organizing products and which are my favorite products. So today I've put together a list of my go-to organizing products! This list certainly doesn't cover every bin, basket or container I've used in our house, but these are my favorite products - the ones I always think of first when I get ready to organize a new ...

Last week I showed your our organized "baby elevator closet" (if you want to know why we call it that, you'll have to check out that post), and you may have noticed the colorful stripes on the front of each of the shelves.  Washi tape!  It's hard to believe that just a few months ago I had never used washi tape for anything, and now it makes its way in to nearly every project I do.   I love my label maker, and it's always been my go to when I've needed to label ...
