On Monday, I shared an ambitious list of decorating and organizing projects that I hope to accomplish in 2015. Among the projects on the list are numerous areas of our home that I've organized {and reorganized} in the past, but that need attention again because they just aren't working for us. So before I tackle these spaces yet again, I decided to take a step back and figure out why some of our spaces stay so well organized while others continue to be problem spots. After taking the time to ... View the Post

But somehow I managed to get our bathroom drawers right on the first try! Obviously, what's right for us won’t necessarily be right for you, but I can share a few ... View the Post
{organizing with style} My Makeup Drawer
Is your makeup a mess? It doesn't have to be! Today I'm sharing a few simple tips for keeping makeup organized in a drawer. STEP 1 - SORT & PURGE The first step to organizing any drawer is to empty it out completely. Once everything is out on the counter, begin sorting your makeup. The categories I selected were eyes, lips and face. Once I had my makeup sorted, I began to purge anything that was too old or that I just don't use anymore. I am never sure how long to keep ...

Color Coded Nail Polish Drawer
With spring official here, I am itching for warmer weather - mostly because I love wearing sandals and flip flops!

{organizing with style} Utility Room Paint Supply Organization Reveal and a Printable

The final step in Project Paint Organization was sorting and storing all of our other painting supplies. Last month, we found a way to add shelves into our tiny utility room, creating new space for storing our paint ... View the Post
Small Utility Room Shelving Solution & the Best Way to Organize Paint Supplies
Having a fully finished basement adds a lot of livable square footage to our house, but it also means that there's almost no storage space. But you know I love a good challenge, so we worked our magic and managed to squeeze in some much needed utility room shelving and organized every available inch of space. HOW TO ADD SHELVING TO A SMALL UTILITY ROOM Utility rooms generally aren't the most storage friendly spaces, and the pipes running floor to ceiling in the middle of ours made it ... View the Post
How to Create Durable and Pretty Basket Labels
Did you guys have a chance to check out our newly organized coat closet? I'm still grinning from ear to ear about how it turned out, and as usual, I added a few different types of DIY labels to help keep it organized. Labeling is so important because it allows every person in the family to know where to find things, and makes it much easier to put things back in the right place. But labels are no good if they can't hold up to some wear and tear, and simple paper labels are not up to that ... View the Post

Valentine’s Day Mini-Home Tour
I always dread taking down the Christmas decorations...not just because it's a whole lot less fun than putting them up, but also because the house always feels a bit uninspired when the festive decor comes down. I blame it on winter. It's cold and dreary outside, and it affects the mood inside as well. I never thought I'd decorate for holidays like Valentine's Day, but in the past couple of years I've discovered that this lovey-dovey holiday is actually perfect excuse to start bringing ...
