The Best Home Organization Systems

January 11, 2016 by Amanda Johnston

Any organization project takes a little work and creativity, but great home organization systems can help you get the job done quickly and effectively. Acquiring an organization system can allow you to better visualize what your area will look like after the project is completed and will give you a place to put useful items that are currently cluttering your home. The following are a few of the best organization systems available.

1. Closet Configuration Kits

Closet configuration kits can help you to create your own custom closets. There are many styles available to select from and some companies may even craft your custom closets for you. Closet configuration kits can often be expanded and arranged as needed, helping you make the most of your space.

4 Tips for Organizing Your Front Entry

January 5, 2016 by Anne Davis

4 Tips for Organizing Your Front EntryDo you have a tiny entry and no closet?  Or a closet that is woefully inadequate for your things?  Here are a few ideas to help you maximize your storage potential!

1. Closet Organizer

Did you know that a closet organizer can double or triple the storage space of a closet?  Finding the right configuration is the key to success.  The best closet organizers are easy to assemble and switch around as your needs or the seasons change.   You can double your hanging space and add shelves or drawers for things that can’t be hung up.

Closet organizers range in price from $50 to $500 depending on finishes and styles.

If a true closet organizer is out of your price range, substitute inexpensive tall bookcases.  Keep the top shelf in place and add hooks or closet rods instead of the middle shelves, just be sure to hang the closet rods flush with the front edge of the bookcase to allow for hangers to be hung without banging the back of the bookcase.

10 Tips For Decluttering A House

November 30, 2015 by Heather Shue

Life is busy and clutter seems to magically accumulate. What we don’t realize is that clutter impacts how we feel! It can stress us out and we don’t even realize it. A clutter free home feels good and it’s not hard to achieve or maintain!

1. A Space For Everything

Spend a day organizing your belongings and make sure every item has a place. Even if you don’t put things away right away, that’s ok. When we go on cleaning frenzies we tend to just shove things in random drawers and closets. That doesn’t actually solve the problem; it just hides the clutter. If every item has a space, you can quickly put it where it belongs during your next cleaning frenzy.

Cleaning House for Charity

December 20, 2014 by Tyler Golberg

If there is one thing we have too much of it is stuff. More specifically, things we don’t need that have accumulated over the years. Spring cleaning is a great time to keep this problem in check, but who wants to wait all winter? Instead, I would recommend a different motive, cleaning house for charity.

Hardware for Habitat

I recently remodeled the nursery for my first child and ended up with a bunch of leftover parts. The hardware for the doors was replaced along with the overhead light and electrical fixtures. There was nothing wrong with any of these pieces. They simply did not fit the theme. To avoid being wasteful, I dropped off all these parts to Habitat for Humanity where they will go to good use. This organization either sells the items to fund operations or reuses them in projects. Either way, your leftover hardware and fixtures can be put to good use!

Building a Home Office, Part 1

June 10, 2014 by Becky Alexander-Conrad

Until recently I used our daughter’s old bedroom suite as my, pretty much everything room. Our Ladies’ Parlor was rarely used, so I decided to turn it into my own home office. I left all but my desk, computers, TV and photo storage boxes upstairs.

Choosing the Right Bookshelves

The three styles pictured represent the basics found in most online or brick and mortar stores.

  1. The budget friendly flat packed particle board units found in department stores. Take note that these do not hold much weight. Watch for an upcoming article on how to dress them up.
  2. Real wood bookcases. Most are constructed of a combination of solid and real wood veneer over plywood. The quarter inch thick plywood can hold the most weight per shelf. You can also find this style unfinished.
  3. Modern Industrial. These have a combination of metal and wood or wood products. Most shelves are real wood veneer over MDF, so they will not hold as much per shelf as the plywood, but more than particle board units.
