Boston temperatures reached the 80s last week, but I've yet to break out the sundresses and put away the coats. The warm weather wear is still in the basement, while my puffy jackets are taking up space in the closet. I'm making myself tackle the change this weekend, but what motivates you to switch your clothes out for the season?
If you're in the midst of spring cleaning and still have no idea how to organize your jewelry collection, try this tip from Kara Paslay's accessories closet.
Project by: Robert Gil, Casa Kids
Location: Manhattan
Last year I wrote about two common approaches to shared kids' bedrooms: creating one cohesive space for both kids or creating divided, private spaces within a room. Roberto Gil, founder of Casa Kids, gave the best of both worlds to his clients, sisters in downtown Manhttan, with this creatively designed room.
MoreMy bi-fold pantry door is an eyesore. It has a fake woodgrain and blocks the left side of the shelves when it's opened. But it's an unusual size, so finding an off-the-shelf or salvage replacement has been impossible. I thought about converting it à la Jason's closet-door hack, but then I stumbled upon Ashley's attractive solution. While she didn't have a bi-fold to begin with, her door replacement would work for just about any ugly door, including mine.
A den, attic, or even a closet can be turned over and transformed into a brand new workspace with the right pieces. But building out a two-fer — keeping the room functional for its original purpose and adding in a second office zone — well, that's tougher. We've seen it done with bedrooms and kitchens, but never in one of these three spaces.

Size: 264 square feet
Last week we got a full tour of Amy Pigliacampo and her husband Corey Szopinski's home in Echo Park. One of the standout features was their organization, which remained stylish, but super functional. Amy's office, which is both her work studio and closet, is an incredible example of this streamlined collectedness.

The closet in my guest bedroom never hosted much clothing, and I decided it'd be a perfect tucked away spot for sewing and crafting. More
I love before and after projects that involve a good afternoon of organization — no paintbrush, no tools… just some motivation, a vision, and some hard work. More
