In my line of work, one of the most common reasons I see houses get so disorganized is because the owners have a great system for getting stuff into the house (shopping, gifts, freebies) and no system for getting stuff out of the house. If you keep adding to the contents of your home without ever removing [...]

Don’t start organizing without making a plan for your space first. Take the time to sit down and write out a list of all the functions the room has to serve. Otherwise, how will you know what should stay or go? Don’t expect to get your entire room organized in a day. Can you say [...]

Cute craft project that kids can make to organize their desk at home. Simply cover old cans in colorful scrapbook paper and glue together into a pyramid (I’d use super glue or Gorilla Glue for this). Then kids can have fun putting their pencils, markers, scissors and more in each one. I love ideas that [...]

Pegboard is pretty easy to come by — we found ours for free along the side of the road last summer! It’s relatively simply to install, yet it makes a world of difference in rooms that hold lots of tiny things such as craft rooms, garages and pantries. Any Home Depot or other builder’s supply [...]

Ikea jars ($4.99) and a label from a label-maker is all it takes to make your craft room “writing implements” go from tools to functional decor. I love this idea. I also love this other idea below. I’ve published it below on this blog, but I think it’s worth publishing again since we’re talking about [...]

Here’s a cool new product for organizing your drawer that can also work as a bulletin board or an art board [...]

Although I could do without the flowers on the drawers or the preponderance of pink, I love how this craft closet is arranged overall. Especially brilliant is the use of pegboard with hooks to hang tools on the inside of the door. It looks much nicer than hanging one of those clear shoe organizers to [...]

I recently took a seminar in organizing craft rooms from my colleague Megan Spears over at Disorder 2 Order. Here are a few tips I gleaned from the seminar for making a functional, enjoyable space: 1. Don’t know where to start organizing? Start with where your butt is (her words, not mine!) That is, start [...]

These beautiful chrome towel bars and rings from Moen’s Preston line looks classy in any bathroom holding towels (and you can win them in the giveaway details at the end of this post!) But they can do more than hold towels. Towel bars can also hold little pots of succulents. I used chrome S hooks from Moen’s Preston line [...]
