tiny bathroom :: storage needed
Small Bathroom Needs More Storage Space: Check Out My Solution! I was reading a great post (as usual) by Org Junkie and ended up coming up with an idea for my own post while commenting on hers. She was talking about organizing her bathroom (cosmetics, hair products, etc.). I had tossed out my thoughts on […]
What’s important to YOU is what you should do . . .
I don’t send holiday cards. I don’t send birthday cards. Nor do I send cards for any occasion other than when I want to communicate via a personal note. This is because I don’t really care if I receive cards, and because I suck at remembering dates like birthdays (forgot my husband’s birthday last year […]
How I Love My Label Maker . . . let me count the ways
I was teaching a seminar on paper management last week, and a gentleman asked, “Why should I use a label maker?” Collective gasp from all Professional Organizers ensued. Seriously, though, there are many reasons, and critical things to consider when choosing and using a label maker. Here’s my thoughts: Reasons for using a label maker […]
bins can hide a multitude of sins…
I was having a really nice conversation with Chad Hunter today about professional organizing (he’s a graphic designer but wants to know more about my field – which I can totally understand because everyone does). During our chat, I used the phrase “bins can hide a multitude of sins.” I love the way this flows. […]
being organized is a good thing… but sometimes you can have too much of a good thing!
I’m a very organized person – just ask anyone who knows me. It’s in my blood, I guess. I’m always straightening, labeling, putting things in bins, etc. But sometimes, I just get out of control – I mean it – hold me back . . . When I got my new laptop, it had Vista. […]
Huggable Hangers AND tips on an organized closet
I recently was sent some samples of Huggable Hangers . I wasn’t sure about these at first because I was concerned that they would be flimsy or look cheap, being that they are “flocked”. Flocked is a word that has always cracked me up in a mocking sort of way BUT I was very pleasantly […]
Volunteering at the Domestic Violence Program office
I recently co-chaired a volunteer event that brought together NAPO Nashville and the local IAHSP Home Staging chapter. We organized and staged the offices of the Murfreesboro Domestic Violence Program. This is a wonderful group that helps others, but didn’t have the time nor the skills to get the place in order so they could […]
Memorabilia Mess
One of the things I run into with so many clients is what to do with all of the “stuff” of their lives. It’s old resumes, photos, report cards, ticket stubs, letters – all of the things we plan on doing something with someday. Most people plan to scrapbook in some form or another, whether […]
adding to the chaos . . .
So we’ve moved into our little house (and I mean little) and we really love it. We got rid of tons of stuff and set the house up to be really efficient. I can clean the whole place in under an hour from top to bottom. Things were going well, and then we went on […]
easier to find . . . easier to put away . . . everything needs a home
Getting used to this tiny house has been a challenge. Any mess we make needs to be picked up promptly or the whole house looks a wreck. On the plus side, the entire place can be thoroughly cleaned in about an hour. I can vacuum nearly the whole thing without changing outlets. But I have […]
