10 Ideas for Your Pink Party:

1. Play the pink version of Scrabble

2. Serve pink M&M’s

50 Organizing Products to Add a Touch of Fall Color to Your Home

I live in the Augusta, Georgia area and we woke up Sunday morning to the most refreshing temperatures. It was actually in the 70’s! We have had our doors open, letting that fresh air in ever since. I just hope it sticks around.

There are so many things that I love about fall: the food, the cooler weather, every one seems friendlier (why is that?), but probably my favorite thing about it is that I get to decorate with my most favorite colors: mustard yellow, burgandy, green and brown. I love those colors and you’ll found them throughout my home year round, but come fall, they’re everywhere.

Now I know this blog is not about decorating, it’s about organizing. But one thing I have learned is that if you don’t use organizing products that you love to look at and use, then you might as well not buy them at all. Also, there are some products you may think to use only for decorating, but you can use them for organizing items in your home too. You just have to use your imagination a little bit and think outside of the box.

So, my list this month is all about organizing products that have a touch, or a lot, of those fall colors in them. Adding just a few of these to your home will help create a functional, inviting and warm house for the fall.
