My master bedroom is normally my sanctuary, but right now it looks like a closet exploded all over it. The floor and part of the wall were ruined in this last flood, so everything had to come out for the repairs. While I’m excited to freshen that space up a little, I’m starting to go […]

Christmas Storage: Putting Away Christmas Decor
There is one thing I store in my attic at my new house: all my Christmas Stuff. Since we only use it once a year, I like it all tucked away out of sight the rest of the year. I’m keeping our decorations out longer than usual this year since we didn’t even finish decorating […]
Peek In My Coat Closet
I think the curiosity to see behind the closed doors of our friends and family is natural. Recently I read that 40% of houseguests admit to snooping around the house! As a professional organizer, I think people feel extra curiosity … so I’d up that to 75% at least! Even though I don’t think this closet […]
Peek Inside My Linen Closet {Updated}
I showed my linen closet a long time ago and since it has been updated for a long time now … how about I show you? I’ve always had a thing for laundry baskets. Even though I use only one for my laundry, I have a lot more around the house for organizing. This closet […]
Morning & Bath Time Grooming Baskets {This Is What I Do}
I have four kids and there are two kids’ bathrooms with baths. Yes, sometimes the little guy uses MY bathroom, but he is starting to transition to using the regular kids bathroom. I’m not going to pretend like 4 kids sharing two bathrooms is very hard … I think my kids live a pretty nice […]

It’s good to store things nearby where you use them, and I noticed that I was always dragging First Aid Supplies to this bathroom to clean up scrapes and bandage up the wounded. It only made sense to set up shop for First Aid Supplies right here in our half bath we call the Powder Bathroom. […]
How To Organize A Stand-Up Freezer (in the Garage)
My husband’s old bachelor pad is the reason I ever came to be a “stand-up freezer person”. When I married Matt, he was a bachelor with a full-blown bachelor pad. And because he didn’t cook at all, ever, I mean he only heated things in a microwave … he didn’t think it was worth it to […]
Pegboard Hack & Organizing Garage Shelves
There is no hiding that shelves are my favorite organizing piece of furniture. They are just so dang flexible to whatever you want to put on them! And I’m falling almost equally in love with pegboards for their versatility with small tools. I used my first pegboard at MY house in my studio last year and […]
The Clutter of Containers
I see you there across the aisle. My heart races. My pulse quickens. I want you. You’re empty and I want to fill you with only good things, because you deserve only good things. I’ve felt this way before with versions of you in various shapes and sizes, and colors … so many colors. I want to take […]
Organize Early Reader Novels and Novel Series
This week we are focusing in our kids spaces, so I’m going to show you a trick for keeping early reader novels from slipping, sliding, and falling all over your bookshelves. Let me tell you about one of my twin girls named Allison. If you don’t know where Allison is, she is somewhere reading. She […]
