What a fun- colorful- bright- happy project! Guys!! Isn’t this space so fun?! The natural light poured into this front room/ living room/ home office of my client. With its many names- comes many storage needs. Including craft supplies, moms work things, books, sentimental items and office supplies. But that’s ok! We created designated spaces for each category, pulled the books forward, made sure everything had a home and made it so much more functional and beautiful. I’ve organized several “multipurpose closets”. Do you have one?? Is it hard to keep it tidy? Let me know any questions you have in the comment and I’ll see if I can help! ☺️ Swipe to see the before!!

And help keep your space oh-so-orderly. 

Ditch the boxes for a beautiful pantry. 

Put panty items into individual glass jars for a super clean look. 

Same goes for spices…

Put all spices in the same style container for a more organized spice rack. 

Take self care to the next level. 

With this tidy bathroom. 

A rainbow of organization works every time. 

Whether it’s books – or balloons. 

Matching baskets means everything looks organized…

Want a quick weekend organizing project with a BIG impact? ⁣ ⁣ Head on over to your undies drawer! Whether it’s briefs from college, bras that are cute but just soooo uncomfortable, thongs that pinch (worst!), or nursing bras that have served their purpose, we all have items we realllly need to part with.⁣ ⁣ This area of your home should be simple and effortless. Who wants to start their day digging through an abyss of underwear they never wear? Keep only the items you’d reach for any day without giving it any thought. The rest can go…⁣ ⁣ Which leads to a question I get a lot: What do you do with your old undergarments?!⁣ ⁣ Here’s 3 ideas:⁣ • Recycle: There are plenty of clothing recycling companies around the country that break down the clothing and use the fibers to create insulation, carpet pads, paper, etc. Check out Planet Aid. ⁣ • Donate: IF (big if) your items are in very good condition, you can donate them to your local centers. Check their website to make sure they accept undergarments. ⁣ • Compost: Yes, really. If your underwear are made out of natural fibers (organic cotton, linen, hemp) you can cut them into thin strips and toss into your compost bin, or plant in your garden. Just make sure that your undies are ???? natural fibers and not mixed with polyesters. ⁣ ⁣ So tell me: who’s going to tackle their underwear drawer this weekend? ⁣????????‍♀️

This fridge is what dreams are made of! I am in love with the drawer dividers in the produce drawer. I usually just stack best I can within the drawer itself but this makes it so much nicer. .

Want to know the secret to organizing your closet!? Here’s how we do it: * switch all your hangers to slimline velvet hangers (this saves you more space than you think!) * Arrange your clothes with like items together. Working from left to right go: tank tops, short sleeved blouses, short sleeved cotton/casual tops, 3/4 sleeve blouses, 3/4 sleeve casual tops, button downs, long sleeved casual tops, sweaters, cardigans, jackets (light to heavy) for tops. For bottoms work shorts, skirts, capris, dress pants, casual pants/jeans. **this can change depending on your available hanging space!** * Dresses hang from short sleeve length to longest going left to right * Within each of the categories, arrange by color! Here is the organizing rainbow (left to right): White, Yellow, Orange, Pink, Red, Purple, Green, Blue, Tan, Brown, Grey, Black @bymeghang

Seems like it’d be much easier to get ready in the AM with a closet like this. 

Who knew plastic containers could make your clothes look so good?

If you don’t have a dresser or enough space available, try using clear containers like these from @dollartree or @walmart only $1 each and great for storing clothes. File fold, then add some labels for extra organization!????????
