Everything about Elfa



This past weekend I learned everything about Elfa (maybe not everything but a lot)! This is an example Elfa is The Container Stores closet solution, it is a modular shelving and drawer system that can improve a variety of spaces- not just a clothing closet. There are solutions for office/study workspaces, entertainment centers and of course great things for the garage. I saw that our local store has information sessions about Elfa, so I attended with a friend last weekend. It was very informative and gave me some great ideas about how you can use this (or something similar). I recommend checking it out if you are interested in using a modular system.

Love is in the details

When you take the time to organize a space, take a few extra minutes for the details. Add fun and creative labels to your containers. They will make it more fun, inviting and easy to keep things in their place whenever you or your family go to use them.

Martha Stewart Home Office labels (available at Staples)



Loved these labels attached with ribbon (as seen at inmyownstyle.com)




 Or these Pottery Barn Kids chalkboard labels.

Tonight I had 5 minutes to spare after making the kids their dinner...what did I do? I cleaned out the kitchen "junk" drawer. Now I don't really consider it a "junk" drawer, it does have very specific contents, but it tends to collect a few things that don't belong. So all is back in it's place now. What would you organize in a spare 5 minutes?
