Closet Organization Is Therapeutic

Your closet can be depressing if it is filled to the brim and so tightly packed that you can’t find anything.  If you can’t casually flip through your clothing and see at a glance what you have, it is not properly organized .  Turning it into a functioning, attractive extension of yourself is is a breath of fresh air every time you open that door.

Kids And laundry?  You Bet!!!

If They Can Reach the Knob, They Are Old Enough For The Job!

Why not start early teaching your kids to do laundry?  They are perfectly capable of learning how.  They can master technical video games so they can master laundry.

My kids did their own laundry starting in Middle School.  I believe it is one more way for them to be responsible and take care of what they have.

Here are some guidelines you can go by: Read the rest of this entry

The Closet Is Prepared To Ride Out The Storm

Call me crazy, but I love storms.  I am fascinated by them and their power.   I will literally stand outside and watch them come in.   I’m the dumb one that is holding the camera!

Last night we had a huge line of severe weather heading our way and naturally I was drawn to all of the weather reports and looking and waiting for it to arrive.  They were reporting that it was going to be a long rocky night.  I was not scared, it was more like anticipation.

Storms remind me of the awesome power of God and I do say a prayer for those who may be in danger.  I always make the expected phone calls to my family to make sure they are aware of the coming storm.  I call it “Counting my chickens.”  Once my chickens are accounted for I am great.

After some time and the storms got closer, I began to think about the what if’s.  What if my house did get hit?  Where would I hide and what would I protect.  It was just me and my husband, but there are certain personal belongings I wouldn’t want to live without.  I was thinking to myself that I must be getting old, because of instead of watching the storm roll in, I was preparing.

Baby Steps #4 Closet Resolution

How long has it been?  Really?  How long have you had these pants hanging in your closet knowing they haven’t fit in at least 2 years?  Do you enjoy torturing yourself looking at the things you love but can’t wear anymore?

I myself was doing the same thing.  ”I’m going to lose weight so I will let them stay.”  Bad idea!!!

If you really think about it, how much space would you free up in your closet if you removed everything that does not fit you?  Including things that are too big.  And let’s get real girls, just because we can get it on does not mean it fits 

Let’s start the New Year off right by being honest with ourselves.  Yes I need to loose 30 pounds.  Yes I am working on that now, but it is really depressing to flip through cute stuff to find something that actually fits.  So I say we take a different approach to what’s in our closet!

How To Make The Perfect Sewing Table

Here is a trick of the trade, for those of you that have a dedicated craft/sewing room. For the ultimate sewing table:   Go to your local hardware store and purchase a sheet (or half sheet) of black board. It is usually around 1” thick. (This black board is what you see at construction sites. They put it on houses before they put siding up) It is very inexpensive and it is just like a cork board when covered. Place the black board onto a sheet of plywood and cover it with black-out drapery lining. With a staple gun, neatly staple it to the underside of plywood. Place on top of table or saw horses. With your new white sewing table top you will be able to pin your projects directly to the table while you work. It also allows for you to iron as you work without the need for an ironing board. I love my sewing table. Since I don’t have room for my 8 ft table anymore, I made a smaller one that I can pull out whenever I want.

This is also a perfect sewing table for making draperies. Hope you enjoy!

Closet Organizers

#3 In series, Colorful Closet Organizers 

“A Few of My Favorite Things”

Closet organizers are one of my favorite things.  Especially beautiful and colorful closet organizers.

I have always said that your closet should make you feel like a kid in a candy store.  When you pick out something from your beautifully organized closet, it should feel like you are shopping for a new outfit.  It is magical.

 The following collections of closet organizers are my top three picks.  Having such beautiful organizers will inspire you to get organized and stay organized.  For step by step tips and strategies on closet organization and how to set up your perfectly organized closet see:  YOUR CLOSET At “Your Closet” we explore the right use of your closet space, which to me prime real estate, and how to think outside of the box when it comes to using the perfect closet organizers.  

 Let’s face it, if we had colorful closet organizers like this, who wouldn’t want to put things back where they go?  I am one of the lucky women out there because my husband loves to do laundry.  I know, I can hear the haters out there, but hey I have been married for a long time and I am a good trainer.   Ladies, he loves it, he won’t let me do it!!!  I swear!!  I brought that up because, no matter how much I love him and thank him for washing, drying & folding 90% of the time, He knows…don’t touch this girl’s closet.

 Patio Storage And Outdoor Living

Patio storage and organization  is crucial if you want a tranquil outdoor living space.

I Love spring!  Everything is coming back to life and it recharges my batteries to shake off my winter hibernation.  My favorite thing is to go outside in the mornings to drink my coffee under the covered patio and watch the humming birds fighting for their rights to the many feeders my husband and I put out.  The pool is now uncovered and my Knock out roses are bursting with blooms.  Ahh, I could live out here.  

Did you know that you’re patio or deck is actually an extension of your home?  Let’s make it inviting and organized.  A well put together outdoor living space, screams family time!   However with my large family (9 grandchildren), even the most peaceful environment can become chaotic and messy, if their is not a plan for patio storage.  Examples of my patio storage:  Pool toys are a major contributor to creating a mess.  We have a iron bakers rack to house some of our patio storage.  The bottom shelf has a large plastic bin with holes on the sides and bottom which house the small outdoor toys.  The holes help them to air dry properly between use.  On another shelf I have a pretty water proof container that holds sunscreen & lotions.  I try to get everyone to bring their own towel when they come, however I will supply a few neatly folded on a shelf just in case one is needed.  As simple as this seems, just this small amount of patio storage and organization, lets your visitors know that you appreciate any effort they make to keep it that way.

At Gammy’s and Poppy’s house, our children and grandchildren know to pick everything up and put everything back in it’s place before leaving.  We never have to say a word, they just know.  Train ‘em early

For pool float storage check out this great selection of products.  For a huge selection of floats and toys see the attached page “Pool Floats and Toys.”

If you desire to create  organized patio storage that is practical and attractive, you have come to the right place.

In order to determine the best patio storage for you, use the same strategies as we do with an indoors  see ORGANIZING BASICS and let’s get it cleaned and uncluttered.  You need some comfortable yet outdoor friendly furniture that is inviting.  Using dual purpose pieces such as patio storage boxes that can double as a coffee table or extra seating, is a great way to cut down on clutter.  Designate patio storage for toys,  Grilling supplies, pool floats, etc.  Just as inside your house, everything outside needs to have a place too.   Don’t forget to put your style into the mix like an outdoor rug and some colorful potted plants.

I will leave you with this thought:  Our front yard reflects how we want others to see us (Public image).  However, our back yard reflects our inner self.  Now go fix up your back yard and plant some flowers that only you can see.

Important note:  Let’s Get Organized is not like the other blogs.  I am very up front about selling products on my site.  I work from home helping you!  I am a professional organizer with a heart to help others, by blogging about what I know.  Most blogs hide what they are selling to make it look like they are not trying to sell it.  That is not me and there are no secrets here.
