First things first, you need to categorize everything before you decide what to purchase. That way, you can see what needs a shelf as opposed to a drawer, basket etc. Then, purchase items that are meant for those categories. If we saw pictures of the space we could give more specific examples - sorry!

You could always “file” them in a container (see the picture we shared above regarding filing) this may be the answer to all of your current shirt and sweater problems. If you don’t have a drawer that works, you can always purchase a basket that has the right depth to put on a shelf - don’t forget to label it! It will

Hey Grace! Start by color coding everything and then take a look at the sections that have a lot. For example if it looks like you have a lot of black tops, start by eliminating items there. It’s easier to see what you have once it is color coded :)

Okay Jasmine.... time for some tough NEAT love... if you are only using 5% it’s time to say goodbye to some of it. You will love the way it feels with less! Treat yourself to some new acrylic organizers for the things you have left - they are easy to clean and will make the space that much prettier!

Hi RegitaLolita! If this isn’t a “Life hack” we don’t know what is! We have discovered using these acrylic shoe drawers for under the sink are the perfect answer for our product lovers. You can separate your products by type (face, body, medicine, etc etc.) and put each in one of these stackable shoe bins. The best

Hey Kyle! Garages are a BEAR! We love implementing wall hanging systems that can be changed again and again by using different types of hooks and baskets. That way, if it is gardening season you can move the supplies to a lower hook and then move other things up high that you aren’t using as often. There are TONS of

Hey Stephanie! It sounds to us like your best bet might be talking to a closet installation company. If you are on a budget and cannot work with a closet company currently, we would certainly suggest you consider paying for someone to change the hinges on the door that swings into the closet. It shouldn’t cost too

Hey there! So, your best investments would be to buy matching hangers (see answer to Leeandersonmiles) AND this double hanging rod that attaches to your hanging bar that already exists. It will create twice the amount of hanging for $13. Not bad right?! http://www.containerstore.com/s/closet/close…

Hi! We would first tell you to get all of the same hangers since this will be out in the open. We prefer black velvet, slimline hangers. They can be found almost anywhere, Container Store, Amazon, but the cheapest at Costco. Then, we would implement the ROY G BIV color coding to keep it looking great (white, Red,

Hi Katherine!

Hi Wittyname - see our advice to “Wafflehammer” we really think that finding a place that inspires you will help you take that first step to donate. Nothing feels better than a newly purged space and knowing that your old items went somewhere great!

Oh we know your type too well! Rest assured you are not alone BUT consider this:: All things that you are holding on to but never use could be something that someone else could be using daily. For example, old books could be donated to a library in need. Favorite clothing from your past could be worn to a first job

Great question Stacey! We actually recommend “filing” your clothes so that you don’t have to rummage every time. It involves one more fold in your shirts but is so simple to see everything. We have attached a link to a photo we posted on Instagram that shows what we mean.

Hi Andy! Thanks for having us! We know getting started can be the hardest part of getting organized so here’s what we think you need to do:: Start small. The little things actually go a long way! For example, check expiration dates on your food, spices, medicines... you will be shocked to see what you’ve been holding
