BH&G Storage Magazine Favorites Continued

BHG Storage Magazine (Special Interest Publication) has the Organize.com stamp of approval for hundreds of ideas on products and solutions that will help you get organized!

“The Ultimate Kitchen” was a favorite, since we all spend so much time in the kitchen.  In this segment, Writer Kristin Schmitt and Project Editor Linda Eggerss explain how a carefully planned layout can accommodate a family’s varying schedules and help keep your busy family on track. “In The Zone” = Task-specific spaces that are key players in a family’s day-to day- hustle. The players are: feed, gather, host, work and enter. Perfectly stated – right? Designated areas stay more organized and within a short amount of time, the entire family knows what goes where and they will be more inclined to put things back in their designated space.

The Kitchen Spaces segment helps identify untapped storage potential, streamline access to your important herbs and spices, keep pantries and kitchen cabinets clutter-free, and optimize your kitchen’s storage capacity by pointing you towards storage and organizational products that are both functional and fashionable.

If you need some “Corner Logic“, this espresso-stained fruitwood corner shelf  collapses and folds flat for space-saving storage when not in use.

Creating “The Ultimate Kitchen” can be a challenge, but taking it one step at a time and following simple project steps can be manageable and rewarding. Great job BHG Storage.

Happy  Organizing!

BH&G Storage Magazine

Bravo! Absolutley Bravo and stellar performance by Better Homes & Gardens Special Interest Publications (SIP) Storage Magazine for their Early Spring Storage Magazine  Issue. If you haven’t already picked up a copy, run (and we mean run before they are gone!) to your nearest stand to pick up one of the best issues we’ve seen. It’s filled with excellent ideas that will help you “Tackle Tough Clutter” in just about every room or area of your house.

As Editor Samantha Thorpe points out, “The best storage solutions solve problems without breaking your budget”. Samantha and her team of writers, producers, project editors, photographers, photo stylists, art directors, have put together “thrifty fixes” for real problems. There are great step-by-step solutions from the Storage Doctor (Kathy Jenkins),  Storage for Shoe Lovers (Really?? Was this written for me?!), creating the perfect bath closet (Organized Audrey – Audrey Thomas), Reference Guide 2010 on Closet Systems (remodelingcenter.com), Paper Work Pile Up, (Jean Schissel Norman and Meredith Ladik Drummond) and 41 Fast & Easy Fixes for just about ANYTHING you can think of (Brian Kramer, Adam Albright & Marty Baldwin). There are just too many  project ideas to list in one article, so I’m going to continue this until I’ve covered it all. We’ll include ideas and pictures that made “the O list” from the bathroom to the garage.

BHG Storage SIP has the Organize.com stamp of approval for hundreds of ideas on products and solutions that will help you get organized!

Happy Organizing!

How to Lose Your Clutter Tip#9

#9 Family Central is a must.

Create an area for keeping track of upcoming homework assignments, school project due dates, practice & game schedules, dentist and doctor appointments or anything else you need help to remember. Cork boards, magnetic dry-erase boards and calendars help keep the family organized and on schedule.

Happy Organizing!

How to Lose Your Clutter Tip#8

Tip#8 Sort it…file it…organize it!

Keep any office, workspace or kitchen clutter free by sorting & filing bills, catalogs, coupons, homework or items that need to be saved as they arrive. File folders help keep important items from being mixed in with the junk mail and accidentally getting thrown away.

Happy Organizing!
