Organized by Color and the 4th of July!

BIG thanks to everyone for all your kind notes and comments on Organized by Color and my blog post. This project has been so much fun.

Speaking of color…Don’t you just love how great the ‘new’ red, white and blue looks everywhere. It’s so vintage Americana. Terry and I visited this wonderful store in Austria that displayed the look so well. (Yes, not in the US!). We are excited to share that we will bring a little bit of European flavor to Organize.com very soon. The traditional Ralph Lauren Polo look has surfaced again and in my opinion…bigger and better.

In Organized by Color, I think we help the customer to shop for accessories in these colors. The red and white in Kitchen is a perfect example and can’t you just taste those sweet blueberries in the image of navy, blue and white? I know I am always talking about ‘doing the work for the customer’, but I think we really accomplished our mission here. If you are adding that American look to your home, be sure to take a peek.

If you haven’t already started, get planning that 4th of July party. It’s less than two weeks away! At our house, everyone knows we are in the spirit when they get to our front door. I thought this wreath was definitely stars and stripes forever.

With only a couple of weeks away, be sure to confirm your guest list for this year’s 4th event. Plan your menu and take check of what you need and have for the bbq and table. Be sure to ask everyone to bring their favorite dish. It’s adds just a little more fun and let’s you enjoy the holiday too!

As with any party, give yourself permission to enjoy. You don’t have to do all the work for a perfect party. Just stay organized along the way and stick to ‘the list’ system to give yourself and your family a stress-free and fun day!
Happy Organizing!

Celebrating a GREAT Dad…Mr. O!

Lately, I’ve been thinking more and more that the things that matter most aren’t ‘things’.  The things that matter most are the wonderful people in my life and what we mean to each other.

So, on this Father’s Day, I am writing about all the special things that I am thankful for in one special man, my husband. Terry is a great, great dad who spent his years making life great for his kids and now for Jason and Allie, too. I’ve heard stories about wonderful trips to Wyoming, Hawaii, New York and Europe. About teaching the little ones to ski, fish, Christmas morning, dinner at Debbie & Pats, Newport Beach, experimenting with photography, and how to be the best Indian Princess.

Terry is a special man and the kindest I ever met. He is a simple man, soft spoken, never (and I mean never!) raises his voice, is an excellent and well respected businessman, gives to others and the community, he knows how to love and be loved. He expects little and gives from the heart great big and is just an all around nice guy. When I tell Terry that he takes such good care of me, he responds….”well, somebody has to”. I smile, he smiles and we know that it’s true. We have joy in taking care of each other.

I love to see him sit quietly reading Variety or the latest Dean Koontz book. He loves music, his video library and can talk any political game with anyone. You might just not want to get him started.

As every day passes, I still feel like the day I walked down the aisle toward him. I still get that surge of excitement when he returns home from a trip or when he is dressed for the evening looking so handsome.

Yes…Mr. O is at the top of my list!

Happy Father’s Day To One Of The Greatest!

Introducing Organized by Color!

There’s something new at Organize.com and we think it’s spectacular! Please join us as we celebrate the launch of one of the most exciting programs we’ve seen in the market today. As we continue to ‘make it easy’ for our customer to shop, we are constantly coming up with new ideas and ways for our products to be used and found. Organized by Color is our way of guiding our customers through projects that make their spaces just a little nicer to hang out in, as we spend more time at home these days.

Organized by Color was designed to do the work for the customer and offer products by category, room and color. It will give you an idea of what’s available for your room or project and what you might not have found on your own. Looking to organize your daughter’s room? Maybe take a look at the Storage category and check out pink and white. Want your husband’s closet coordinated in black? See the Closet section and what we have to offer in ‘All Black’. The idea is to choose an area that you are interested in, click on a color pallete that excites you and from there you will find products displayed that might just do the trick. I’m sure you get the idea. Be sure to see the Baby, Kids and Teens sections. It’s very sweet for the little ones and hits the ‘surfs up’ teen right on.

I also invited a very special guest, Erinn Valencich to join us during this launch. Erinn is an expert in interior design, color, cooking, entertaining, and one of the most talented designer’s I know. Erinn has a flair for creating elegant, glamorous and contemporary for numerous homes and TV shows. Her work is as beautiful as she is. Erinn has hosted several specials for HGTV and made appearances on The View, Entertainment Tonight, Access Hollywood, E! and Fine Living. It only made sense that she would be my guest as we introduce a program designed around color and something as unique as her.

So…take a look, have some fun and please let me know what you think. We hope you will enjoy the Organized By Color experience as much as we enjoyed creating it!

Happy Organizing!
