Blog Changes.

As I continue with my purging and organizing my house, I am doing the same for my blogs and websites. I have found a passion for the thing called organizing.  I actually feel good, when things are in their place and I know where to find them and can.

So I am changing the look and fell of my blog.  I am trying to organize it, so that it will flow better and it will user friendly.  I hope that you are enjoying my blog.  Your comments and suggestions are always welcome.

One room complete - Master Bath Cabinets

I finally cleaned out, purged and organized my master bath Cabinets.  It is done, finished.   Man, I had a lot of products (hair, bath and other products) in my bathroom.  A lot of the bottles were almost empty.  Why I didn't discard them earlier I don't know?  Who knows.  It is just as easy to discard at that moment you empty it as it is to put it back in the cabinet.


Here are the before pics: 

All organizing product use are from the dollar store.  Although I would love to have them all the same color, the sizes don't match for my needs. So varies colors it is.


Here's what I used:

2 green large storage binds $ 1 each

After pic of same space:

  

 

2 Medium Red Binds 2/$1

4 Small Red Binds - 4/$1

3 small baskets with handles - 2/$1

 3 green oval carry totes - $1 each

3 small square plastic storage containers with lids $1 each

7 storage boxes with hinged lids $1 each

I did not take before pics of the vanity drawers but here are a few completed pics.

After I am completely satisfied that this is working for me, I will go back and label everything. Total cost $20.00. Not bad.

I hope you enjoyed this post and as always, I am interested in knowing what you think.  What are some of your best organizing solutions?  Please comment, provide feed back, suggestions.  Also share this blog with friends and subscribe to my blog for future post.
As always, have a wonderful blessed filled day.

The mess that is my night stand.

If your night stand is anything like my, what a disorganized mess.  There are things in my night stand that just should not be there.  It has become impossible to find things that I think I've placed in there. So today I am tackling the mess that is my night stand.

Top Drawer

Okay wait the entire night stand is not a mess.  See, these are pictures of the bottom two drawers, which I keep organized and neat most of the time.  The bottom drawer houses my PJs and a few other things. The middle drawers has my unmentionable, lol.  You know what they are.

To keep the middle drawer organized, I used small drawer organizer for my socks and medium plastic organizer for my bras and panties. I purchased the medium ones years ago from Bed, Bath and Beyond.  I purchased the small ones about two weeks ago from TJ Maxx.  There were 3 in a pack for $2.99.  I don't recall what I paid for the medium ones.

Bottom Drawer

 

I am a sockaholic. Yea, I said sock.  I loads of socks.  They are right now located in 3 places. I keep about 6 pair in my night stand, so if my feet get cold at night, they are close,  some are in my chest of drawers and some are ing a small basket in the closet.  With the exception of the few inmynight stand, my goal is to get them all in one place, in the chest of drawers. 

But today, I am working on my night stand. I've also have the shelf liner that I will be using in the bottom of the drawer. I purchased it from TJ Maxx for $5.99.  There are two rolls and it covers about 30 Sq feet.

I took everything out of the draw and wiped it out with a damp sponge.  Covered the bottom with the shelf liner and decided what I need beside my bed. 

And here is the finished product.  Drum roll please.

Now if I can get out of the habit of throwing everything on the night stand at the end of the day.

Oh yea, by the way!  I've done so more organizing in the fridge.  Go to my refrigerator organizing blog for the update. 

Thanks for stopping by.  If you like my blog, website and organizing, please share and comment.

Enjoy and as always, have a wonderful day.

T-Shirt organization

If you are like me you have loads of T-shirts.  I had two dressers that had three drawers each full of T-Shirts and boxes in my walk-in closet full of T-Shirts.  I purged and got rid of some of them.  But I don't know about you but I find it had to get rid of my t-shirts.  They are so comfortable and I love wearing them.  I will wear a t-shirts every day if I could. I do try my best.  They are my go to top. 

So, with so many t-shirts, I needed to find a way to organize them and contain them in one location. I can't say this is my original ideal.  I did a lot of research on the internet and this is the best organizational ideal for t-shirts, I came across.   Although I am still in the process of organizing them.  But I wanted to show you how I am organizing my t-shirts.

Below are instruction for organizing your t-shirts.  You need to start by folding your t-shirt.

 

1) Lay flat

 2) Fold each side about a third of the way to the center

3) Fold the sleeves back towards the outside

 

4)  Fold the t-shirts in half, bring the bottom up to the top



5) Fold the t-shirt in half again

 

 6) Shirts will stacked standing with the collar down



 

7)  Group colors together and stack in drawer

 

8)  only space for two stacks w/opening in the middle

9) made a third stack in the middle of the two.

 

 

I can get twice as many t-shirts in one drawer and they are easy to see, instead of picking up each shirt to find the one I am looking for. 

 

I think I need to purge my t-shirts a little more.  I have so many I had to focus them in the draw.  They look to stuffed in the drawer. 

 

Hope you enjoyed this tutorial.  I will  start making videos soon.  What would you like to see organized?  Do you need suggestion/tips on something?  Leave me a comment.  Please let me know what you think of my organizing.  Do you have an organizing tip, you would like to share? I will be more than happy to hear them.
