Tips & Tricks

Moving? Label each box with the room it’s going to go in, the contents of the box, and where it’s going to go in your new home. Mark the Open Immediately boxes that contain blankets, pillows toiletries, and other items you’ll need for a first good-night’s sleep in your new digs. - organize.com

Before & After!

Winter Gear Storage Room

Before

The original system for storing things had been lost.

 

 

After

 

First, the owner and I purged the space donating the items her family no longer used or needed. Then we created new homes for the remaining items. The bins on the far left are now homes for the men’s gloves, scarves and hats. Her things are in the drawers. Lots of needed space was opened up for new items. Ski boots are on the top shelf when out of season and other garden shoes are tucked below the drawers at the very bottom.

 

A section for jackets above right, a place for the overalls below, the ski boots above and shoes below, the bin/baskets for the men's snow hats, gloves and scarves and one for items only to be used for outdoor work
