The Number One Dorm Essential?

Posted in Back to School, Dorm Living, Organizing, Shopping Tips, Storage at 11:35 pm by Deb Savvy

For anyone living in a small space, including dorm dwellers, what’s the one thing you need more than anything else? More space, of course. While you can’t actually expand that dorm room, you can maximize the space that you’ve got.

The Shelving Store - Home Storage and Organization

As they say on all those great home organizing shows like Clean House, ‘make use of that vertical space’. Plan ahead and pick up some modular, ready to assemble storage to take with you when you set your son or daughter up in their new room. That way, instead of running from store to store to find something that might work, you’ll be unpacked and organized in no time at all – and you’ll have the rest of the day to explore the campus and maybe even enjoy a nice lunch.

The First Step…

Posted in Cleaning, Closets, Home Maintenance, Housekeeping, Organizing, Storage at 6:06 am by Deb Savvy

Even though it’s colder than cold outside, it is late February and spring is just around the corner. And with spring comes the inevitable spring cleaning. And the best way to get a jump start on that spring cleaning? With a bit of de-cluttering. Start small, one closet, or one area or room at a time. Toss things that need to go. If you’ve got anything of value that you don’t want anymore you can give it to a friend or family member or donate it to charity.

HomeDecorators.com: Storage Solutions Shop Elfa Blue Lillian Vernon Online

Once you’ve gotten what you don’t want out of a space, start cleaning and organizing what’s left. Work slowly, area by area. That way, you are less likely to feel overwhelmed and quit before you’ve finished. I also like the ‘geographical’ approach to cleaning and organizing because it’s easy to see the fruits of all that hard labor as you progress.

As you work through your home, make note of all those little things that need attention and repair. Cracked outlet plates. Hardware, handles and hinges that need replacement. Indicator bulbs. Doors that don’t quite close properly. You get the idea.

But first things first. Start with a little bit of de-cluttering. And take the rest one small step at a time.

If She’s Just Gotten Her Ears Pierced

Posted in Gifts for Girls, Gifts under $20, Jewelry Storage, Organization, Organizing, Storage at 2:23 am by Deb Savvy

Big news arounds these parts is that Peanut got her ears pierced on Sunday!  Yes, it’s true that the youngest never has to wait as long as her older sisters – but even 6 year old Peanut had doubts that she’d be able to convince the parental units that she shouldn’t have to wait any longer.  Well, wonders never cease and Peanut is proudly sporting some tres chic sparkly pink flower studs thanks to the medical professionals at the local Claire’s Boutique. 

Earring Keeper
Earring Keeper – $12.99 

And like every other girl I know who’s ever gotten pierced, Peanut is already accumulating quite an earring inventory and busily planning what earings she might where when.  And the perfect gift for such a girl – earring storage of course.  Perferably a rack so that each pair is on display just like at a store.  Earring trees and racks make terrific gifts and are surprisingly affordable.  I remember the year I first bought them for Duncan and Ketchy (upon request, of course) – they were so inexpensive that I actually felt guilty and sent them each an ‘extra’ gift.  Go figure, they were thrilled with racks.  And, in case you were wondering, I bought them at Stacks and Stacks . It’s an organization and storage superstore like no other; their products have been featured in Real Simple magazine, the Oprah Show, Good Morning America, as well as the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.

Who Wants Clean House?

Posted in As Seen on TV, Closets, Coupon Codes, Home Office, Organizing, Storage at 10:23 pm by Deb Savvy

I absolutely love watching those ‘clean out the clutter’ shows on TV.  I remember one British show where they actually brought a huge chipper out in front of the house and made the constestants shred all their accumulated junk.  My all time favorite has got to be Clean House.  It’s fun and funny – and their organizing tips are the best.  I’ve seen a couple of episode lately where they did some really interesting storage / office hanging wall systems.  One home office was actually completely concealed in a closet. 

I thought these storage solutions were FABULOUS.  Each time I was both impressed and surprised to learn that the entire office / storage/ closet system was actually from Rubbermaid .  Everything looked so sleek and modern and high end. For the best selection and price, shop directly at the source. Shop & Save on Rubbermaid.com! Enter the coupon code above to save 10% on EVERYTHING they sell. This is an ongoing offer.

And One More Thing About Fall

Posted in Cleaning, Gardening, Housekeeping, Organizing, Shopping Tips, Storage at 3:35 am by Deb Savvy

It’s time for yard and garden clean-up!  And it seems like raking the leaves is just the beginning.  Pruning, mulching, feeding.  Plants to re-pot for a winter indoors.  And all those things that won’t be used until spring need to be cleaned and stored away in the garage or basement.  I’m exhausted just thinking about it and of course, there’s the supplies. From leaf shredders, blowers and burlap wraps to garage organization and storage solutions. Gardener’s Supply has all the supplies, tools and timesaving solutions you could possibly need for the annual ritual. And to honor the fall clean up season – they’ve even issued a 10% off coupon. I must admit that saving on the supplies does make the official end of my gardening season a bit easier to swallow.

Where Do They Go?

Posted in Cooking, Groceries, Housekeeping, Kitchen, Organizing, Storage at 12:18 am by Deb Savvy

Where have all my containers gone?  I know I don’t eat them.  I’m pretty sure I don’t throw them away.  It’s not like they can make an escape on their own.  I must admit I have quite a few lids.  But I’m down to only a couple of storage containers – none of which has a matching lid.  I was into the disposables for a while – and must admit that I find them quite handy for sending my guests home with leftovers.  But they don’t have much of a lifespan.  I’m returning to my roots – Tupperware.com.

And the best thing is you don’t have to know someone or go to some awful party to get the stuff anymore.  You can order online, directly from the source at Tupperware.com.  LOVE THAT!  It’s about time!

Did you know that September is officially ‘Self Improvement Month”?  I just read that somewhere.  I’m not sure I agree, but I do find myself always in a frenzy of cleaning and organizing this time of year.  Maybe that’s just my personal form of self improvement. Whether you’re working on a resolution or just getting your house in order because you feel like it, September is certainly the month to save on storage.

Making the Most of that Vertical Space

Posted in Clearance Sales, Housekeeping, Organization, Organizing, Storage at 4:55 am by Deb Savvy

Time to get organized.  The first thing they say on all those ‘declutter your life’ shows is always that you should take advantage of your vertical space.  Wondering what that means?  In English.  It means shelves.  If your basement, garage, utility room, home office or spare bedroom is covered in clutter it’s because YOU NEED SHELVES!  And now’s the time to buy them.  It’s the annual shelving sale over at The Container Store.  They’ve got a huge collection of shelving and every single bit of it is on sale 25% off!

Solid Steel Shelving

Posted in Housekeeping, Organizing, Storage at 2:20 am by Deb Savvy

We’ve had crazy rains here in Chicago this summer. Lots of people have had water in their basements – including me. What have I learned from this experience? Several things – I have learned that I need to have some water proofing work done on my foundation. I’ve also learned that it’s an excellent idea to make use of the vertical space (as they say on HGTV) and to store all my treasures up on shelves.

Back to the Closets

Posted in All Time Favorites, Closets, Organization, Organizing, Storage at 3:27 am by Deb Savvy

There’s an epidemic of closet organizing going on around here.  I’m in the midst of a major closet excavation.  I caught the organizing bug from Paula – she’s been at it for weeks, approaching one closet at a time.  And so has Lynne – who’s gone Space Bag crazy!

 

So of course we’ve all been shopping.  When it comes to organization and storage nothing beats Stacks and Stacks .  Not only do they have a great selection of closet organizers and clothing storage options – they’ve got a great selection of organizing solutions for every room of the house.  And lots more. Including hard to find items like garment presses, jewelry armoires, task lighting and food storage solutions.

Looking for Space Bags?

Lynne’s been organizing her closets lately and she’s totally grooving on the space bags.  All those divalicious gowns and boas and out of season items can now be stowed away into a fraction of the space they were in before.  Love that!!!!!  She mentioned that she’d been having trouble finding some of the more unusual sizes and shapes of bags so, of course, I jumped right on it.  For a great selection of Space Bags – including the elusive long garment bags – take a surf over to  Organize.com

It’s that time again.  The big spring clean up has arrived.  Funny how everybody does it.  Is it that the days are longer and the extra daylight makes it easier to see the mess?  Maybe it’s an animal instinct to clean house as soon as the winter hibernation is over.  Either way, spring is in the air – and so is the smell of Pine Sol – and now’s the time to get to work.  But how can you clean if you don’t have anywhere to put anything?  Organization and storage is key!  A place for everything and everything in its place….
