Step by Step Plan for an Organized Home: Linen Closet

The next space up on my home organization challenge is the linen closet.  Whether you have one of these in your bathroom, hallway, or laundry room, this space becomes a catch-all for so many household necessities and it's so easy for it to get cluttered and out of control.  This is one space I had on my list to clean out and organize for quite some time now.  I still would like to add a few things, but it is already looking so much better.

Step by Step Plan for an Organized Home: Week 3 | Bathrooms

     The next space up on our organized home challenge is bathrooms!  If you live in an older home like me, you are very familiar with the challenges of limited closet space and storage in bathrooms.  I've always lived in older houses, so I feel like I've mastered making the most of every inch of space for storage and am always on the lookout for creative storage solutions.  This post focuses on three different areas to focus on when organizing your bathroom: open shelving, bathroom cabinets, and the top of your vanity.  Let's start with open shelving!

Decorating Q & A: Bedding

While I was putting together my recent post on "How to Make the Coziest Bed",  I asked my followers to let me know if they had any bedding related questions that I should include and answer in the post.   I got so many great questions but the original post ended up being so long and full of information that I decided to do a separate post to answer your questions!  I pulled the 4 most popular questions and answered them below including lots of inspiration photos + product links too!  I hope this helps answer your questions and gives you a little design direction!

Modern + Minimal Nursery

     I had too much fun designing my first nursery start to finish for some of my favorite clients!  This super chic, modern. and minimal nursery is full of timeless pieces that can be grown into and used for many years to come.  My clients knew they wanted a statement wall in Hale Navy (Benjamin Moore), but besides that, they really let me take the reigns on the design.  My painter put together the simple gridwork trim on the wall and then painted it all one color.  The rest of the walls were already gray which worked with our color scheme and the simple gray crib.

Step by Step Plan for an Organized Home: Week 2 | Fridge

    After a little break, it's time to resume our organizing challenge!  You can catch up on week 1 (kitchen cabinets) here.  This week we will be focusing on one of my favorite hobbies organizing the fridge!  Now I admit this is truly taking it to another level and may not be for everyone, but I promise it is not a difficult thing to keep up with!  I also think it has more benefits than just aesthetics, as you can keep better track of what you have in the fridge and (hopefully) be encouraged to make better choices when snacking and ultimately waste less food.  There are two major steps to getting started: 1. a deep clean on the entire fridge, and 2. the organizing phase.  I've also linked up all my favorite must-have products to get you started at the end of this post (crates, dividers, bins, etc.).  Let's get started- find all my tips + tricks below!
