July 26, 2018 By Veronica

Room-by-Room Organizing Challenge | Month 3: The Pantry

April 9, 2018 By Veronica

Organized Pantry

In some homes, the pantry is large and luxurious – a room you can walk into. For others, it may be limited to a single kitchen cupboard. (Team cupboard over here, folks.) Regardless of its size, the pantry is just about the most used area in a home, alongside its cool counterpart, the fridge. That’s [Read more…]

Room-By-Room Organizing Challenge | Month 1: The Bathroom

February 7, 2018 By Veronica

Bathroom organizing

We’re starting this organizing challenge in the bathroom for one REALLY GREAT reason: it’s much easier to organize in the bathroom than any other room in the house. That’s because we aren’t as emotionally connected to items there. Because bathroom supplies are often cheap, beautifully packaged and placed enticingly close to the checkout lines *ahem, [Read more…]

December 10, 2017 By Veronica

Tiny House expo

As professional organizers, we love the concept of tiny homes; the minimalist lifestyle that accompanies them is a big draw. When people make the choice to live in a tiny home, they must whittle their belongings down to only the strictly necessary.
