The Room-Rearranging Story Without a Happy Ending

February 9, 2012 By Dana White | 22 Comments

Last week, I shared my plan for our office/gameroom/guest room. I LOVED the comments on that post.  They really helped me think through what I wanted to do with that room. The main thing I got from your comments?  Embrace one purpose for the room. Decide on a purpose and go with that one purpose.  Yes, it's a guest room, but only on rare … [Read more...]

Could vs. Should

February 2, 2012 By Dana White | 35 Comments

Org Junkie is having a February Organizing Challenge. I really don't like challenges. I'd rather use the time I would spend planning a strategy . . . to just get something done.  100% less chance of failure that way. "I'm gonnas" have rarely worked for me. But . . . I do have a room that's been bugging me.  I've mentioned it here … [Read more...]

Get Towels off the Floor – Cheap {Organizing} Tricks

January 27, 2012 By Dana White | 15 Comments

I've been thinking about starting a new series this year called: Cheap {Organizing} Tricks So here goes.  This first one isn't so much a trick, as a duh. My definition of "duh" is: Something that is so quick or easy that it makes me wonder why I didn't do it sooner. Yes.  I was in Junior High in the 80s.  Why do you ask? I will … [Read more...]

Decluttering the Kitchen Drawer

August 25, 2011 By Dana White | 26 Comments

  This drawer has been making me crazy. For a very . . . . long . . . . time. It's the drawer that makes me appear to be a neurotically over-zealous host.  While in fact, I'm just neurotic. When a casual serve-yourself-from-the-stove guest asks where the forks are . . . and my husband accidentally tells them . . . . I find myself … [Read more...]

Organizing Systems Don’t (Do the) Work

July 7, 2011 By Dana White | 5 Comments

I've purged. I've figured things out. I've established routines. And yet, there are still days when I could totally qualify for "one of those" shows.  The ones where they take before pictures and viewers are horrified.  Then a heroic organizer comes in and establishes wonderful systems that will forever change the person's life. Many … [Read more...]

10 Ways to Combat Messiness When You Have Little-Bitties – A Guest Post

June 15, 2011 By Dana White | 7 Comments

I'm off having fun with my family this week, so I'm welcoming Jessie from Vanderbilt Wife today. (Note: Jessie is no longer blogging at Vanderbilt Wife.) Hi, I'm Jessie. And I am a slob. It's good to have somewhere to confess that, isn't it? Unfortunately, my husband is a slob, too, which makes it extra hard to keep a tight ship around here. … [Read more...]

Taking a Moment to Contain Myself, or at Least My Stuff

June 3, 2011 By Dana White | 5 Comments

This week has been wild with end of school stuff.  Not only the stuff I knew was coming, but extra things that came up at the last minute and kept me from having a single day at home. I try to do at least one organizing project a week, and this week I planned to do the boys' room.  But rather than write a post with no after picture detailing all … [Read more...]

Motivated by Falling Objects

May 19, 2011 By Dana White | 20 Comments

Sometimes you weigh various factors when deciding which area to declutter next. Sometimes it just hits you over the head. (Almost) literally. I've been doing a decluttering/organization project most Thursdays.  This morning, as I deflected falling cups and medicine bottles, I decided that this kitchen cabinet would be today's project. I … [Read more...]

It’s Hard to Get Stuff Done Around the House if You Aren’t Home

May 5, 2011 By Dana White | 4 Comments

When I was in High School/College/Thailand, the worst possible thing that could happen was to not have anywhere to go on a Friday or Saturday night. Free time was for having fun and I loved to be on the go. So sometimes I'm surprised that I'm now a total homebody. After two weeks of going and blowing every-single-day-all-over-the-place, I'm … [Read more...]
