On Tuesday I shared lots of photos of the Stock the Kitchen wedding shower that I hosted for my soon to be sister in law {really, really soon to be - the wedding is tomorrow}! I had so much fun planning this shower, and finding ways to tie the kitchen theme through every element of the party! From the invitations {with enclosed recipe cards for family members to fill out}, to the decorations {flowers in small kitchen appliances}, to the favors {mini wire whisks}, to the games.. . ...

{organizing with style} Planning a Kitchen Mudroom
Earlier this week I talked about all those funny quirks that each house has, and the ways that you find to fix them or live with them. Today I'm sharing the story of how we "fixed" one the quirky parts of our home - that big empty space in the corner of our kitchen. When we toured our house for the first time, before purchasing it, we couldn't help but wonder why the kitchen cabinets came to an abrupt end, leaving five and a half feet of unused space. On move-in day, we found the ... View the Post
{organizing with style} A Filing System for Menus and Recipe Clippings
Does this ever happen to you... You are in the middle of a big project when some small pile of clutter catches your eye, and even though it's been that way for a long time, it suddenly seems imperative that you stop the big project you are working on to address it immediately. I call it Organization Procrastination. Or maybe Organization A.D.D. is a better way to describe it?! Well, that happened to me a while back. I was in the middle of a larger project in the kitchen, when all of ... View the Post

Today, all of the ideas from Saturday's seminar are right here on the blog, including the new days of the week clothing organization system I created to make mornings with a preschooler run more smoothly. I have just a couple of go to stores when it comes to starting any new organizing project, and IKEA is ... View the Post

The BEST Products to Help You Get Organized & Stay Organized
A few months ago I shared my 10 Steps to Get Organized & Stay Organized, and it prompted a lot of questions from readers. You all wanted to know where I like to shop for organizing products and which are my favorite products. So today I've put together a list of my go-to organizing products! This list certainly doesn't cover every bin, basket or container I've used in our house, but these are my favorite products - the ones I always think of first when I get ready to organize a new ...

Modern Dining Room Makeover
I couldn't be more excited to share our dining room makeover with you! This has been my eighth One Room Challenge, and as always it was a race to the finish line... but we made it and the space turned out better than I had imagined. It also remains one of the hardest spaces in our house to photograph, so I hope my pictures do it justice. Our kitchen dining area was the first to be decorated when we moved into our house ten years ago this month. That's because it was one of the few rooms ... View the Post
{organizing with style} Floor Plans That Make You Go Hmmm…
I'm flashing back to the early '90's with that C+C Music Factory reference, but it's the best way I can describe today's topic. I think we've all experienced those moments - when house hunting or living in our own homes - where you ask yourself what the architect and builder were thinking when they planned the space. We certainly wondered that quite a few times when we toured our {now} home for the first time and were considering making an offer. Why do those linen closet doors open into ... View the Post

The school year is right around the corner, which means the end of those long, relaxed summer days, but it also provides a great opportunity for a fresh start. Creating some simple organizing systems for back to school can help you get back into a good routine, and can keep you on track throughout the year. The kitchen is certainly the heart of the home, and, in our home, it is also school command central! In addition to packing lunches, we have a lot of “school stuff” to keep track of ... View the Post
How to Properly Store, Dispose Of, and Recycle Paint and Paint Cans
As a serial DIYer, I'm always repainting the walls in our house, and painting just about everything else in sight with spray paint. That leaves us with a lot of leftover paint and, in time, a lot of empty paint cans. We have a very small utility room and a detached, unheated garage, so I had a lot of questions about how and where I could safely store my leftover paint, and how to properly dispose of paint and paint cans. I did a lot of research regarding both paint storage and disposal options, ... View the Post
{organizing with style} Tips for Proper Paint Storage, Disposal, and Recycling
We recently completed Project Paint Storage at our house, which included transferring all of our latex paint into plastic, screw-top canisters with labels, creating a customized paint deck, completing paint reference charts, compiling a kit to make organizing new paint quick and easy in the future, and finally organizing and storing all of our other painting supplies in our utility room. During the course of this project, we did a lot of research regarding ... View the Post
How to Host a Stock the Kitchen Wedding Shower
A couple of months ago I had the honor of hosting a family wedding shower for my soon to be sister-in-law, Allie! Allie and her fiance {my brother-in-law, Jay} both love to cook, and most of the gifts they registered for are kitchen and cooking related, so a "Stock the Kitchen" shower seemed like a perfect choice! Years ago, my mom gifted me a recipe box filled with recipes from all of our friends and family! It is a prized possession of mine, and I wanted to do the same for Allie! I found a ... View the Post
