His/Her Glasses by Kate Spade When decorating a bathroom, the hardest things for me to find are the simple, functional items like soap dishes and toothbrush/toothpaste holders, with the latter being the most elusive. My last toothbrush container in a long line of toothbrush containers was perfectly modern and minimalist […]
It’s no secret that The Container Store is one of my happy places, so when reader and fab blogger Inspirationele suggested that I do a post on my TCS faves, I was 100% on board. Thanks for the idea! My dream office would have oodles of these Bisley Storage Cabinets. Oodles. Stockholm Desktop Collection I’ve been […]
Do you ever have things you love or love to do that you just let languish for some reason(s) or other(s)? Well, these loafers and this blog for the past couple of weeks- sorry about that – are two prime examples. I adore the fact that these pennies are the […]
Previously, all my nail lacquers were tossed in a plastic storage bin in a bathroom cabinet. Not only could I not easily see which shades I had, but the bottles would end up falling down on their sides, causing the polish to separate in a weird way. Then, I got […]
My general organizing strategies are 1.) to keep similar and/or similarly purposed items corralled together and 2.) to store things where (or very near to where) I use them. Because I make tea so often, this tea supply tray lives on the kitchen counter under the cabinet that houses my […]
Truthfully, there was absolutely nothing wrong with the way my jewelry was stored before… I just wanted to pretty up the operation a bit 🙂 Image courtesy of MarthaStewart.com The first thing I did was raid the kitchen cabinets for every cutesy little bowl I could find and toss them […]
This is a quick, easy, and most importantly, pretty way to organize lots of stationery in a relatively small space: Simply stack each type of card with its matching envelope, and secure with a length of ribbon. (I picked up this gray gingham from the $1 bin at Michael’s and […]
Although I love, love the look, functionality, and boutique-y-shop-my-closet-ness of wooden hangers, I’ve recently had to place my gazillion Ikea ones into temporary retirement (i.e. a storage bin). Sadly, they just take up too much space in a closet the size of the one I share – equitably, I might add […]
One day I’ll have a proper jewelry box, but for now, this drawer – in the same dresser I use to organize my scarves and belts – is working out really well. *Technically, these acrylic drawer organizers are designed to hold office supplies… I ignored that memo 🙂 (image courtesy […]
Bathroom (Toiletries) Drawer Bamboo trays – cutlery/utensil holders, randomly sized modular squares and rectangles, etc. – make very easy work of organizing drawers all around the house. They’re functional, customizable, easily cleaned (in case you’re like me and always spilling something), and they allow everything in a drawer to be […]
I picked up these Torie & Howard organic pink grapefruit and tupelo honey hard candies on a whim at Alon’s (also available at Whole Foods): The packaging drew me in, and they’re SO yummy! I admit I screamed a little in delight when I opened the tin and saw that each […]
After the time I was late for a party and had to stop by the grocery store to buy an exorbitantly-priced (and very ugly, I might add) gift bag for a present, I knew I had to do better. I mean, that thing was u-g-l-y you-ain’t-got-no-alibi ugly. Fugly. Butt ugly. […]
