Wow what a difference! After emptying it and cleaning it from top to bottom, I sorted what was left into a few bins I had picked up. I made sure to label them so anyone can find what they need! (before photo is in the comments)

A great article about organizing your upright freezer! Love the idea of using containers to sort it! Think I'll try it on our freezer in the kitchen first before tackling the big one in the garage! How do you organize your freezer?

Hope everyone is having a wonderful start to the new year! I took a few months off to spend some time with my family and tackle some projects around our own home!

If you need help tackling it, just let me know! I'd love to help!

So excited to organize another kitchen tomorrow! Got a lot of great containers, drawer organizers, pantry door racks and under cabinet organizers today!

These homeowners currently live in a different state. They still have a home here, but only stay in it when visiting family and friends. They've moved several times in the last 20 years, and this home often becomes a place to "store" unused items from their current home. I wanted to create a functioning kitchen for them for the few times they are here. We were able to donate 8 boxes to charity and sorted the rest of the items (mostly media and memorablia) into bins that are now stored in their desk.

This bathroom closet started off like many I've seen before. It's easy for your cabinets/ closet to become a dumping ground for your everyday essentials. After categorizing their items, I sorted them into labeled baskets and bins. Now they have easy access for all their prepping needs which helps their morning routine become much more efficient.

This is a great thing to do twice a year to help you w**d out all of your unused clothing items!

I organzied a new clients kitchen this past week. She already had great containers and organizers, but just needed things pared down and grouped a little more logically. We were able to pick out 4 tubs of items to sell and 1 to donate! Here's the overview of the before and after, and I'll add more photos in the comments. :)
