MASTER ORGANIZING

Organizing MacGyver Style:  Use old containers like cereal boxes or plastic apple containers to store decorative items.

Clear containers work great for letting you know exactly what you have!

Do you find yourself randomly tossing your clutter into the nearest closet, container, cabinet or room just before visiting guests arrive at your home?  Well, let’s stop that habit right now.  It’s all about first setting up a space that you love, so that you are motivated to keep it clutter free.  Besides purging your [...]

Resource Furniture has some pretty neato space saving furniture!

Talk about getting the most use out of your space!

Oh what to do..what to do…with those extra buttons and knick knacks you get from the new clothing you buy…

Well I came across some slide protectors that someone was giving away and a light bulb went off in my head.  Now when I pick something up..I don’t have thoughts of “I will use this someday.” [...]

A very good friend of mine shared this with me and I couldn’t resist sharing this with you.  Hong Kong’s Gary Chang, a very talented architect, designed a 330 sq. ft. apartment that transforms into 24 different and efficient configurations….and the best part is that this apartment is green.  Chang calls his space the “Domestic [...]

Today’s Organizing MacGyver Style comes from creative designer Annika Schmidt.

The Guitar Hanger is a cool tool that will help you to organize your guitars.  Great for acoustic, electric, basses and 12 string guitars.  The Guitar Hanger fits all guitar necks…Fender, Gibson, Yamaha, Ibanez, Washburn, B.C. Rich, PRS and even The Guitar Hero!  The video is a little cheesy, but the hanger itself is a pretty neato [...]

How do you organize your closet?  Me….I love to organize by color.

The Long Beach Closets & Home Organization Conference and Expo, sponsored by Closets Magazine starts today through Friday, February 12th.  With so much love in organizing closets, I will be hanging around (get it hehehe) with NAPO- Los Angeles, to answer any of [...]

Grab all your carriers (purses, wallets, gym bags, brief cases) and clean them out.  Donate the items that you no longer LOVE using.  Toss old receipts, papers, gather loose change and throw out other junk that you have left in the compartments of your carriers.  Why carry inessential things on you?  After you’ve put the [...]
