Simple and Affordable-Kooi Garage Re-Organize Project

BEFORE

AFTER

I am so happy to show you the before and after photos of our garage. Jeff put up shelves and the kids and I de-cluttered!

Some of you have asked if Jeff was on board with the re-org and he was. He actually started the project, put up the shelves, bought matching bins!

We donated over 7 bags of toys & clothes and 3 car seats to Maggie's Place. They were thrilled and we were even more thrilled to see our gently used items go to a place that could really use them!

Total Cost of Project: under $500 for shelves, brackets (more expensive then the wood used for shelves!) and bins.

Total Investment of Time: 14 hours tops...Jeff spent more time waiting at Home Depot to get the wood cut and running to Lowe's to get the brackets. You would think one place would have all that he needed, but no such luck.

Special Note: I would love to hear from you. Please email me or comment on my blog with your organization challenges and obstacles! If you would like to show the world your organizational celebration, send me your before and after photos and I will post them on my blog!

In Need of Spring Organizing--I am!

I am experiencing a bit of spring fever, even here in sunny Arizona where the weather is spring-like for most of the year. But my spring fever isn't because of the weather, it is because I have one space in my house that I just can't seem to keep organized. Mainly because I am not the only one who uses this space, we all use it.

My children's toy storage closet is literally a nightmare for a professional organizer. I have had a physical reaction when walking near this closet--literally. I used to be able to shut the door and forget--well, almost forget--what a scary unorganized mess this closet is.

So, I am putting it out there for the world to see, that even I, have my own organizational challenges. By airing my dirty little un-organized secret I am hoping that it motivates me to get this organized and make it a dream-come-true space for me!

Stay tuned...
