Summer is a wonderful time of year but it will soon be coming to a close. I know its a sad thing. The seasons change and so does your wardrobe. This means you have to put away your summer clothes and start pulling out the winter clothes. Im not saying you have to switch out all of your summer clothes right now but its time to start pulling out a few bins and bags to have ready for donation, packing or giving away to a friend. Its also a good time to start getting rid of items you did not wear th Read More Organizing Tips…
Adsense Code] As professional organizers, we encounter hanger issues all the time. When organizing a closet you can find a myriad of hangers and the wire ones are the hangers that have entangled themselves around all the others.

If wire hangers are so bad why do dry cl Read More Organizing Tips…
Even after the great closet clean-out of December, 2007, my closet is still kinda full. Well, very full actually. One of the things it’s full of is old software program disks and manuals. In this corner, we have the game Master of Orion II for Macs, issued in the mid-1990s. That’s fine as there’s also a copy of the Mac OS 9 install disks not to mention Windows 95, 98 and 2000. In slightly more modern offerings there’s a disk to install the Palm Pilot version of the Zagat Restaurant Guide circa Read More Organizing Tips…
Recently I asked friends, professional colleagues, and business owners who follow me on Twitter and Facebook what they would tackle if they had 10 minutes free and felt like organizing. I have enjoyed their responses and perhaps they may inspire you to find 10 free minutes each day to organize. Deb Lee of D. Allison Lee Professional Organizers said she’d deal with her mail. “Open the mail and put each individual bill in my bill sorter so that I remember to pay them!” Leigh Ann Hubbar Read More Organizing Tips…

One of the big things that clutter up a house is clothing. Even if you keep your clothes organized and neat in your closets there is a good chance that you’ve got a bunch of clothes that you no longer use or no longer fit. A great way to declutter your house is to go through all those old clothes and get rid of the ones that you don’t use or don’t fit. Be ruthless I know I’ve made impulse purchases in the past where I bought clothes and never wore them. It was a good idea at the time but I e Read More Organizing Tips…
Today, I worked on a project that was purely out of love for my husband. His side of the closet was bursting at the seams with clothes he never wears. Some are completely out of style and others are not the style he wears any more. He has become a kind of jean snob, and it is all my fault.

Fortunately, I am a Read More Organizing Tips…
As an epilogue to our open closet makeover, I thought I’d post these tiny hanging labels that I made in all of five minutes. The devil really is in the details, and they look adorable (and they’re functional too). I whipped up one that says “sheet sets”, another that says “beach towels” and a third that’s labeled “hand towels & washcloths”.
