Home Organizing Tips The first rule is to focus on one room at a time. Before you get started on a room, make a list of what the primary function and storage availability of the room is. Use bins to sort through what you want and don't want. Home Organizing Tips The Children's Place 1.Have bins and boxes on lower shelves so that a child can put away the toys. Have the child label the bins and boxes.  2.Provide low hooks to hang up sweaters, pajamas, jackets, book bags, etc. 3.Take children with you when you go to donate unused items. This helps them learn to part with things. 4.Encourage your child/teenager to choose their outfits for the next day before they go to bed at night.   Make the Garage and Storage Work for You 1. Determine how you wish to use the space. Is it a workshop? Is it a storage center? Is it a sporting goods center? Is it both? Stick to the floor plan. 2. Get rid of things that don't work! 3. Sort, purge, and then decide the proper storage containers or fixtures for the treasures that you must keep. Clearly label both the tops and the sides of the containers.                             4. Consider floor-to-ceiling possibilities for shelving, racks, stackable drawers, hooks, and pegboards.  Love Your Closets 1. Go through your closet today, and pull out everything you haven't worn in the last year. Clothes tend not to improve with age. 2. Decide what you want at your fingertips and what can be hidden away in containers under the bed, on top shelves, or in drawers.  3. The closet should be bright and inviting. You should be able to see what you have in your closet. Consider installing good lighting. 4. Hang like items together—group shirts together, pants together, dresses, etc.     Contact us at eve@evertyhingsorganized.biz or 805 448 2397
