Hiring a Professional Organizer

     Organizing and decluttering one’s home can certainly be a daunting task.  For those of us that don’t have the time or patience to do it ourselves, hiring a professional organizer is the answer.  There are so many things to consider like which area of your home needs the most attention, your needs and habits, how much of your things should you keep and how much do you purge?  The list goes on and on.  The anxiety sets in.  Yikes!      Hiring a professional organizer may be something you never considered.  The peace of mind from having an organized space that suits your needs can make a world of difference.  Start with a small area like a pantry or an office space if you feel overwhelmed. Having a home that works the way you need it to doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg.  You can choose to use as many products as you want or none at all. That's where a pro organizer can guide you through the process. They’ll lis...

Tension Rod Hacks For Your Home

Need a cheap and easy solution to organize your home? Tension rods are the answer. They can be used as product dividers or even hangers for jewelry, cleaning products, and clothes. The options of what to do with a tension rod are endless and can also be used as a design element in your home too - how awesome! Tension rods can be utilized in cabinets and drawers or on shelves, horizontally or vertically. Try hanging them vertically on a shelf. You can now easily divide cooking sheets, cutting boards, or big platters. When using tension rods as horizontal dividers, put them in your plastic container drawer. Put two rods close together so that container lids will be tucked nice and neatly in between them. No more searching for lids! Next, let's head under your kitchen sink. I know, the dreaded under the sink space. This can be a tricky spot to tackle, but tension rods can add a quick fix. Hang a rod right under the sink, leaving space to be able to hang cleaning spray bottles. You can...

Top Three Laundry Tips

Laundry is my favorite chore. Now I know what you're thinking, "Is she crazy?" But the laundry room is my favorite space in my home and that's not by chance, I set it up that way! Here are a few things to consider when beginning an organizing extravaganza in your laundry room: make sure you can see the wash products that you have, your washer/dryer are in an area that is accessible to you, and add special touches to make it feel like home. Decanting should be a sport. In fact, yes it definitely is a sport what am I saying? I like to decant powders such as borax or washing powder in tall glass jars with lids, and liquids such as detergent or bleach in glass dispensers with a spout. Keep them on a shelf above your washer and dryer for quick and easy access. You will easily know exactly when you need to re-fill! Before our laundry room renovation started, the room was a mess. It was super chaotic not to mention my dryer wasn't even inside my house! I dreaded going in...
