Organizing Scarves Vertically

3/1/2023

0 Comments

 
Have you tried storing your scarves vertically?  The idea is to fold and 'file' them vertically so that you can see them all at a glance.  

It can make it easier to get dressed if you can easily see which ones match your outfit.  It also helps prevent 'losing' scarves that get buried in a pile or under others on a hanger.  It's easy to take one out and put one away.  If all of that sounds great to you, then this might be the way you consider organizing your own scarves!  


Of course, one important part of organizing is to know yourself - what you are likely to do and not do.  The potential downside with this method is if you know you won't fold them and put them back.  In that case, this is the wrong method for you!

There are various ways you might store the scarves when folded in this manner.  A drawer works nicely, as does a plastic bin.  The key is to fold fold them in a way that they fit in the 'container' and that they hold each other up.  You might add dividers to help them stay upright.

Organizing Pregnancy and Maternity Clothes

10/14/2022

 
Pregnancy and postpartum are times of so much joy and expectation!  While this is a wonderful time, it can also be filled with lots of change, many decisions to make, and plenty of extra tasks.  The last thing you want to do is open your closet in the morning and be disappointed that you don't fit into your clothes and stressed because you don't know what to wear.   Let me share the journey of one new mom that I worked with as an example.

The client was a new mom who was frustrated with getting dressed each day.  Her closet was overflowing, yet she couldn't fit into most of the clothes.  Not only was it difficult to locate something that fit, but it was also taking an emotional toll knowing that the clothes didn't fit.  She ended up wearing the same few items over and over as they came out of the wash.

Spring Cleaning your Cleaning Supplies!

4/2/2019

 
Spring has arrived!  ...and perhaps with it the desire to get your house in order.  For me, I feel a pull to clean the windows as well as the baseboards in my house.  It makes such a difference when I’m done!  I love sparkly-clean windows!

If your cleaning supplies are tidy, it makes cleaning much easier and enjoyable!

​I have a set of cleaning cloths that I keep organized in a drawer.  I fold them and store them vertically in a shoebox so that I can easily see them and grab what I need without disturbing the rest.  Storing items vertically is a key element in the KonMari Method™.  Because it brings me joy every time I open the drawer, I also put them in color order!  This is obviously not necessary; do what works best for you!
