I recently helped a client’s daughter organize her Barbie dolls and accessories. It was such a fun project to work on! She was so helpful and really got into the organizing process. She helped me divide up all of her items, categorize them and then helped me make labels. She had the perfect area under a window for a long cube unit. I got her some hot pink (her favorite color) fabric bins and pink latch boxes for smaller items. The finishing touch will be bin clip labels which I am dropping off later this week. The final result is a beautifully organized Barbie collection!

Happy organizing!

I recently helped a client’s daughter get packed

I recently helped a client’s daughter get packed up and ready to move into her first dorm room as a freshman in college. The school did a great job of providing all of the details about the furniture in the room, so I was able to do some research and make suggestions for products that would help maxamize a small space. This was such a fun project to work on! I love a challenge and this brought back lots of memories from my college days.

After she got moved in my client’s daughter sent me a picture of the finished room and I think it turned out amazing. I just wish I could’ve been there in person to help!

Don’t be afraid of small spaces. They can be a challenge but there are so many amazing products that can help use every square inch of the space that you have. Take measurements and do your homework and you will be amazed at the results!

Happy organizing!

Y’all, I am so happy with how this pantry turned out! I wish I had recorded the expressions on my clients faces when I showed them the organize space. It was priceless!

This was such a great space to work with. I just did some rearranging and then used bins and baskets that maximized the shelf depth. I love these bamboo bins from @mdesign. I will definitely be using these in future projects. Another favorite are the floor baskets which were a great find @tjmaxx. It’s amazing how the right size products can transform a space.

Happy organizing!

I’m trying out this new Epson photo scanner today that can scan large batches of pictures and auto enhance them at the same time. It’s love at first sight! I wish I had this scanner during the pandemic when I scanned 7500 family photos five at a time!

ROAD TRIP!! This week I have been helping a client

ROAD TRIP!! This week I have been helping a client I worked with last year in Nashville unpack and organize her new home in Evansville, IN. How cool is this authentic mid century modern dining room? The paneling and furniture has been well taken care of. Such a cool space with tons of storage! Today’s project is storing all of my clients serving pieces, decor and holiday dishes in these awesome built-in cabinets. I love homes with built in storage and this house has tons of it!

Are you moving and need help unpacking and organizing your new home? Give me a call. I would love to help you make your new house a home!

I recently worked on a master closet that had huge

I recently worked on a master closet that had huge cubbies dividing the his/hers sections. These cubbies proved to be a challenge due to their size and depth and the annoying fact that the left and right cubbies were not the exact same size. My client did an awesome job of purging items that she had not used in a while, which I donated. After doing some thorough research on how to maximize the space of these cubbies the finished product turned out phenomenal and my client was ecstatic!

This is a perfect example of how important doing your homework is for each project. It was imperative to find the right organizing products to maximize each of these large cubbies. By using a combination of drawers and open front bins I was able to get all of the clothing items that she wanted to keep back in the cubbies. Now she can see what she has so she can wear the clothes instead of them being at the bottom of the pile and never used!

I am a firm believer in you need to see what you have so you can use it. This not only applies to closets but pantries and cabinets as well. Otherwise clothes, food, etc. get stuck in the back and you forget about them.

Happy organizing!!

This attic room just got transformed into a holida

This attic room just got transformed into a holiday decor storage room and my client was beyond thrilled with the final result!

We started with a blank canvas and added custom Elfa shelving. I went through all of the holiday decor and re-organized everything by holiday. My client donated items they had not used in a while. I used their existing totes that were in good shape and then purchased additional storage totes when needed. Each holiday has their own section and is clearly labeled. We even had room to bring up her larger party items which freed up space in other areas.

I used the area next to the ceiling on the opposite wall to hang all of her wreaths so they could be visible and easily accessible but out of the way at the same time.

Now she is ready to decorate for any holiday!

Happy organizing!!

I had so much fun putting together this arts and c

I had so much fun putting together this arts and crafts cart for two adorable four year old twin girls recently. Their supplies had outgrown their current storage area and was taking over the laundry room. This Elfa drawer system from @thecontainerstore was the perfect solution. I was able to organize all of the small items into categories that made everything easy to find and added casters so the cart could be easily moved. As the girls grow this arts and crafts cart can grow with them and adapt to their needs.

Happy organizing!!

This pantry got a makeover recently and my clients

This pantry got a makeover recently and my clients love the organized space! Since the style of the home is more modern/contemporary I chose a non- woven, white metal basket by @mdesign for the smaller groups of items in the pantry. I’ve used these baskets before and absolutely love them. Food containers helped organize all of the snacks and baking supplies making everything easily visible and within reach. Can risers and turntables also helped make cans and bottles easily accessible.

My client now loves showing off her pantry when she has guests. There is no bigger compliment than that!

Happy organizing!!

I had so much fun yesterday hanging out at @thecon

I had so much fun yesterday hanging out at @thecontainerstore with professional organizers in the Nashville area. It was a great opportunity to meet people that I have only heard about and chat with other people in my industry.

Thanks so much to @thecontainerstore for organizing such a fun event. Their employees always go above and beyond to help me any way they can every time I’m in the store. I am grateful for the relationship I have with them. They are absolutely the best!

One of my favorite organizing tricks is to use bab

One of my favorite organizing tricks is to use baby bins, smaller bins within a larger container. This allows me to group together smaller items within a larger category. I use this technique in any area of the home. The possibilities are endless!

For the two examples above, I used baby bins to separate adult and children masks as well as various laundry detergents and dryer sheets. This organizing trick helps separate smaller items so you can see everything at a glance and quickly grab exactly what you need.

Clearly I am not alone in my love for baby bins!

Happy organizing!!

I recently helped a sweet family, who had just mov

I recently helped a sweet family, who had just moved from California, unpack and organize several areas in their new home. I knew this fabulous closet had amazing potential from the moment I saw it! In less than a day I unpacked everything organized all of their clothes, and put away smaller items in the pieces of furniture in their bedroom. I was able to re-purpose many items that they already had. As you can see they have lots of room to spare! They were so happy to not have to live out of their suitcases any more!

If you are moving to the Nashville area or are planning a local move give me a call! I would love to help you ease the stress of moving, get you organized and help make your new house a home.

Happy organizing!!

These drawers got an upgrade recently using my fav

These drawers got an upgrade recently using my favorite Like-It Brick containers from @thecontainerstore. These containers come in all different shapes, sizes and colors. My favorite feature is you can add dividers which really allows you to customize each container to your specific needs. I love using them to store batteries and for junk drawers. A taller version is perfect for deeper drawers. Be sure and keep these in mind for your next organizing project!

Happy organizing!!

This kitchen cabinet got a makeover recently and all I did was add one organizing product and did some rearranging. You don’t have to spend a lot of money to make a big difference when organizing. I used my favorite expandable/adjustable pot and pan holder from @amazon, raised the upper shelf to store all of the small appliances and relocated all of her food containers to a separate area. What a huge difference!

Happy organizing!!

When my client requested something to put her bath

When my client requested something to put her bath bomb collection in I knew exactly the product I wanted to use. This large jar from @target beautifully displays her colorful bath bombs in her guest bathroom and also doubles as decor! This is such a simple way to store and display every day items.

Best of all this huge jar is only $12! The jars come in a couple of different sizes and are very versatile. I have used them in laundry rooms for laundry detergent, dryer sheets and tide pods. They are a fun way to display products on your countertop. What every day product can you use these jars for? Get creative and have fun!

Happy organizing!!

I am loving these new acrylic bins, The Container

I am loving these new acrylic bins, The Container Store’s newest addition to their product line. They come in two different lengths and four different widths, which makes them very versatile. They work great in cabinets and pantries. They are super sturdy and come with a removable divider. These are becoming a go-to item for my organizing projects. Be sure to check them out the next time you are at @thecontainerstore

On a side note, I am obsessed with the color of these laundry room cabinets! The photo does not do it justice!

Happy organizing!!

Pantries in apartments can be extremely challengin

Pantries in apartments can be extremely challenging due to their small size. This pantry got a makeover last week and my client was thrilled with the results!

I removed everything, threw away any expired items and organized the remaining items by category. Tall bottles went on a large round turntable for easy access and visibility. All of her canned goods went on smaller 2 tier turntables and party supplies went to the top.

The trick to maximizing space in a small area is to measure and find products that will maximize the height and depth so you can make the most out of every inch! What a huge difference!!

Happy organizing!!
