This is an inspiration board I created for a client. She used it to OrganizeDesign her small desk area. She now has function and beauty. Beauty that is perfect for her. Which area in your home or office need OrganizeDesign{ed}?

Organizing the Master Closet

There are so many ways to organize a master bedroom closet. By color, clothing items, or just stuff it in there and so many more! What is your favorite? I like to hang my clothes by color, solids then pattern. Short sleeve, then long sleeve with sweaters together. It makes it SO much easier to get dressed because I don't have to search for items. HOWEVER, every once in a while it needs to be reorganized. I have also been considering painting or wallpapering the closet... your thoughts? {the first picture is the after and the second picture is the before}I reorganized it and could not really tell by the picture which was which. I guess it wasn't that bad!

OrganizeDesign

The weather continues to be very cold and perfect for...organizing! I have spent some time getting things in order and I am excited to add some OrganizeDESIGN through out my home. Have I mentioned that I love the Dollar Store and thrift stores? The treasures you can find there!! CAUTION: purchase ONLY what you need!! Otherwise this can be a dangerous place as items have been know to "call" to you. Am I right? What OrganizeDesign projects are you working on?

THE BEST Organization System EVER!

Are you feeling the need to "get it organized"? To purge? To make your environment attractive and functional? I don't know about you, but when my house is out of order, my brain feels out of order! Maybe its the ADD but I just can't seem to focus on things when I am in chaos! And sometimes that chaos and lack of focus make it extremely had to get started...because WHERE do I start?? Here are a few things that work for me and then I will tell you THE BEST Organization system EVER!! What works for me: I ask myself the following questions- 1. What area is causing me the most amount of frustration? 2. Can it be solved/organized/beautified quickly? 3. Can a few changes help until I have time for a complete OrganizeDesign? 4. Schedule time for an OrganizeDesign session. For me it kind of becomes a triage way of scheduling. What ever area is making me CrAzY, that is where I start. Mail and clutter on the kitchen island is a source of chaos for me. This is something I try to take care of every day or every other day. Knowing the areas that bug you the most is huge in maintaining sanity! A few things I do always: 1.MAKE YOUR BED! I am amazed at the number of people that do not do this simple but powerful act. This 2 minute activity will instantly make your room look more pleasing. When you are ready to retire at the end of the day, you will be glad you did. 2. If you buy something, donate something. This helps to keep things organized. 3. If you don't love it, get rid of it. If you love a sale like I do, this is very important! And finally THE BEST Organization System EVER is...the one that works for you!! If it is not something that you are going to do, then it is not effective for you. It is not a good system for you. And remember organization and style may only be important to you! If that is your reality, embrace it and make it happen! Lastly remember the best accessory to any home is organization!
