our favorite organization projects

It’s that time of year. The one where we’re supposed to be motivated. Or something. There are purge lists and things to conquer and organization projects to take on. I’m eating healthier {trying} and moving my body. The ground is here, so I guess we should be running when we hit it. And stuff. But to be honest, January can just feel blah. I think people keep their Christmas decor up for a reason. You may need a little recovery time from those holidays. Read: I still have a cheese hangover. So I’m sharing some of our all time fave organization projects, but I think you should know that it’s basically for me. Somehow in between kids and day jobs we’re supposed to find the time to clean and organize and make it fresh and new. That’s cute. My hopes are that we can gently inspire whilst also reminding you that our own house is still very much in-process, and you can get to it when you get to it. Maybe I’ll just light a candle and clean the sink and celebrate the small wins. It’s a delicate balance, in so many ways. So here are a few of our favorite organization projects!

1. Our Favorite Organization Projects: This Closet With Liberty 

We’re smitten with this custom closet design with Closets by Liberty™. It was a great project to take on as soon as we moved into our primary addition. I am THRILLED to have my very own space after waiting so long and sharing a tiny space with Jamin. Check out the whole tour here with this custom closet design with Closets by Liberty™.

2. Our Favorite Organization Projects: Easy Bathroom Storage 

It was a game changer this last year to finish our primary suite. But even more so to take advantage of the forgotten spaces, and add storage where we can. This was basically like adding a tiny linen closet, which actually made a big difference. I swear by the time we’re finally finished with this house {when I DIE} we will have created so much storage. It’s quite satisfying if I’m honest. Check out this easy bathroom storage here.

4. Our Favorite Organization Projects: Tips for Small Laundry Room Spaces

Though we’ve now moved everything upstairs to our current laundry, {we now have a whole little room dedicated to said space!} we did use this corner for 6 years and it served us well. We know what it’s like to work with small spaces.
