Organizing My Mom's Home Office

Hello All!  A little while back I organized my mom's home office for her. It took a few days of her and I working side by side, but we got if finished and she is loving the newly organized office.

Before I show you all of the after photo's, I want to first share all the BEFORE photo's:

 I forgot to snap photo's before I actually starting removing items from the room
(I tend to get so "into" it, I forget to take the before photos.)

You can see that I had already started bringing items out into the hallway.

 Now that you have seen where it all started, Check out all the AFTER photo's:

 

 
 My dad had a little extra peg board kicking around, so I asked him to pop it up onto the wall.



 The peg board holds a lot of items...
 
 ... getting as much off the desk as possible.

I stole this large piece of artwork from my parents bedroom.  It fits really well above the storage units and brings a little height to the that side of the room (which is what that space needed.)

 Baskets hold software & software manuals, cardstock paper,

 envelopes & another basket holds labels.
 

and now for all the before and after side by side photo's:

and that's it!  My mom's office organized.  I've slowly been getting more and more of my parents home organized.  If you missed any of the other areas that I did at their place, you can find the links below:

Organized Sewing Room 

Organized Knitting/Crocheting Room 

Organized Craft Storage Closet 

Organized Bathroom Cabinets

and I made this DIY Photo Wall at their place too.

That's it for today.  Have a truly Blessed and productive day!

May you be a little inspired!

Until next time,

Organizing My Mom’s Bathroom Cabinets

Hello All! Happiest Monday to you!

Today, I’d like to take a moment to share a little more organizing that I had completed for my mother, back in January.  

I organized under her bathroom cabinet:

Using Dollar Tree bins.  These ones are the same that I used in my:

Linen Closet

In my Paper Tableware cabinet,

and I also used one of these same baskets under my kitchen sink.

When I opened my moms cabinet in the bathroom, I knew right away that she just needed a few bins to calm the chaos going on in there.

Dollar Tree bins are always an inexpensive, quick, organizing solution, So.. we picked some of them up and used them in her bathroom.

:)

I didn’t get a before picture, but I did manage to take a couple of photo’s during…

Notice that when pulling items out of the space(s) that I organize, I tend to pile “like” items together.  That way you can sort through as you go.

Hair supplies go in one basket.

Curling irons, flat irons and blow dryers in another.

Miscellaneous in another…

Make-up in another basket

and toilet paper in another.  There was one more basket and it holds feminine supplies.

I used an existing organizer that my mom had to sort hair things…

Barrettes in one drawer

Elastic bands in another

Headbands in another,

and bobby-pins in another.

and that’s it, my mom’s bathroom cabinets in Delightful Order.

If you missed the rest of her home organization, you can view each post, by clicking the photo(s) below:

That’s all that I plan on sharing from my mom’s home organization. Hope this has inspired some of you to bring delightful order to your home in some way. 

Spring is the perfect time for organizing.  What space do you want to tackle organizing?  Be sure to share it at our Delightfully Inspiring Thursday Party any Thursday.  I’d LOVE to see your spaces.

May you be a little inspired!

Until next time,

Organizing My Mom’s Craft Storage Closet

Hey there!  Hope your weekend was fab!

I‘m going to finish showing you my mom’s organization in the next couple weeks.  Back in January, I spent some time at her place getting a few of her spaces in order.

I’ve already showed you her knitting and crocheting storage space and her sewing room organization.

Today, I’m sharing her hall closet. It’s mostly filled with crafts, but there are also gifts, photo’s, tools and whatever else needed a home in her place.

The after is a MUCH better space than the before.

This is what the closet looked like when I went to put something in it.  I could hardly get the door to open.

When I went to my mom’s house the plan was to organize her knitting and sewing spaces.  However, often times when you start to organize one space, it leads to another and another. So I ended up organizing many different spaces in her home.

Check out all the storage bins in this closet.

Most of the bins are either Sterilite bins from Wal-Mart or Dollar Tree bins.

My mom stocks up on gifts. We made a special place for boy gifts…

and a bin for girl gifts.

I used Avery address labels to label these bins.  I do like the labels that I sell in my shop better, because they are bigger and brighter and easier to see at a glance.

a place for everything…

… and everything in it’s place.

:)

These bins are photo bins that my mom needs to go through.  She started to create memory books for each of her kids, the large bin on the bottom holds all of those books.

more craft items and an greeting card box, organized similar to mine

and a special place for games.

Now.. check out the before and after together:

Much better, don’t you think?

May you be a little inspired!
Until next time,
