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.

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.
