Think vertical is in every passionate organizers list of rules. Time and time again I hear people say that they can’t stay organized because their house is too small and they just don’t have enough storage space. Well, that is the case usually for two reasons. Number one, they have WAY too much stuff and they need to downsize and number two, they don’t look up. There is precious space that is wasted if you don’t think vertical.
Here are some “Think Vertical” storage ideas for you today grouped by room.

A Tick Tock Tuesday Post
 
There’s nothing like hitting a good sale to start off the day right!
I was in Michael’s this morning to pick up some craft supplies and they had a ton of 2008 calendars on sale for $1. Yes, $1! I grabbed several of these Studio 18 Family Calendars that are pictured here. I’ll give it away as gifts or something, but I am also looking forward to using one for myself.
It’s a 16 month calendar and it also has a contact & phone number page and 170 colored stickers. Not bad for one buck.
I like how it …read more

I’m pretty sure that if an organizing store asked me to move in, I would have to say yes. I really do not like to shop for things like clothes and food. I like clothes and food, I just don’t like to shop for them. When it comes to organizing supplies though, I can grab a cart and stay awhile.
So for my list on the Home and Dining Channel’s 300 Tips, I chose to show you my top 50 favorite organizing products. (My dream is to have number 50 in my home some day!) Wow, this is going to be …read more

It’s on the runways, it’s on the shelves in housewares, it’s in The Container Store. What is IT you ask? Brown, or should I say Beautiful Bronze from Umbra. This collection from The Container Store is just gorgeous! I fell in love with it immediately. Brown is everywhere for the fall season, so I hear anyway.
Here are a few pictures from the Umbra line. To see the whole collection, just click here.
       
 
It all almost looks too pretty to use doesn’t it? I’ve got my eye on that jewelry box.
I also really like the bulletin boards. …read more

The link for the $2000 elfa closet makeover and $500 Container Store Gift Card contest is up. Go here and enter. Good luck! If any of you win…please stop by and brag, er, let us know.

I sure never did! In fact, I got a shiny new trash can for my birthday last year. It’s one of those stainless steel ones. Do you think getting a trash can as a birthday present is weird? Yeah, you are probably right. It is weird. My mom gave me a gift certificate to one of my favorite stores and it was on sale for such a great price that I just couldn’t pass it up!
I think that a trash can is a necessity in every room of the house. Some of you may think that duh, that’s obvious. But …read more
