We share some of the best tips we have learned over the years for organizing your spaces.
Kitchen Organizing Tips
Food Container Lid Organizer
Tupperware is a struggle in itself when it comes to kitchen items. Keep that cabinet organized and making sure each vessel has the proper lid – hard to maintain! But with something as easy as a food container lid organizer, everything will be in its place and easily accessible.
Pull-out cabinet Drawers
Kitchens are one of the prime spaces where items accumulate fast, making it hard to sift through your cabinets and drawers to find that blender all the way in the back. Put an end to the digging with a pull-out cabinet drawer that makes it easy to get to your favorite blender in no time.
Undershelf Stemware Holder
If the only kind of glass that you drink out of is a wine glass, then it’s likely that you’ve struggled with creating space in your cabinets to make a home for all of them. Don’t let your glasses take over all the valuable cabinet space, incorporate an undershelf stemware holder that allows you to really maximize your cabinet storage.
Multi-Tiered Adjustable Lazy Susan
Finding yourself having to take out all of your spice bottles just to find the one you want? Not only is it frustrating but it’s also a kitchen clutter nightmare! Investing in a tiered Lazy Susan makes it easy to see, grab, and use the spices you need while cooking.
Expandable Cabinet Shelf
It always seems like we are fighting for more space in our kitchen…optimize your cabinet space to the fullest with an expandable cabinet shelf. This shelf allows you to take advantage of the vertical space in your cabinets. Allowing you to stack things without making it hard to get to what you need.

Home Office / Paper Clutter Tips
“How to make a shelfie-worthy office”
The 3-Pile Sort
Papers pile up in your home office and can be hard to get in control of. Get on top of the mess before it takes over your space completely with the 3-pile sort technique. Shred — File — and Action Required.
Color Coding System
When striving to have an organized office space, color coding is a guaranteed way of keep everything in its rightful place. Here are our color coded categories:
- Green – Financial Red – Medical
- Yellow – House Blue – Insurance
Mail Station
Mail items can get out of control pretty quickly with the amount of paper that comes into the home every day. Creating a mail station allows you to categorize your mail from outgoing, mail to be filed, and bills.
Using a Label Maker
Know exactly where everything is in your office by labeling your files, drawers and anything else that you feel needs to be labeled. You’ll know exactly where everything is when the time comes to finding it.

Digital Clutter Tips
Desktop Clean Up
Your computer desktop can get over crowded and distracting fast if you’re not careful. Clear away items on your desktop that are no longer relevant or important.
Logins and Passwords
Never worry about forgetting a password again. Tools like 1 Password ( link https://1password.com/ ) increase your internet security and also make it easier for you to keep track of logins.
Update Your Home Page
When you need to use the internet, don’t get distracted by random news stories or “Favorite” links that inevitably become a time killer. Choose a blank tab, or the basic Google.com to avoid clickbait.
Purge Your Files
Once a month go through your newest files, images, attachements and delete anything that isnt necessary. Especially with photos, if it’s a duplicate image, or bad quality it needs to go. If you wouldn’t put it in a photo album, you probably won’t ever use it.

Bathroom Organization Tips
Labels Everywhere!
The bathroom can become a catch all place for personal items. Make sure all needed categories are labelled which helps stray items from finding their way into the bathroom permanently.
Inside the Door Storage
Not only does inside-the-door storage save space, it’s super convenient for your go-to items like hair dryers and straighteners.
Caddies and Bins
When kids share a bathroom, give them each their own shelf or shower caddy to organize their supplies. This helps keep clutter from spreading so it’s easier to clean on a regular basis.
Hooks and Hangers
Hanging towels from hooks helps them to air dry and save space. Anything you can hang in the bathroom keeps your surfaces open for easier cleaning.
