Brook has an exceptionally organized, delightfully kid-friendly craft room, and she has graciously allowed us to take a peek inside, down to the last detail. More
Sometimes there is just not enough space - or money! With an upcoming wedding and two blending households of avid readers into a one bedroom condo (plus one curious object collector - me), we've got books and baubles coming out of our ears. This office area is one of my least favorite places in our home due its lack of light and wall space restrictions, so it was time for a cheap and quick fixer-upper! More
Most of us would jump at the chance to work from home and such was the case for my wife and I — two engineers with a cat for comic relief. To work efficiently however, our sad put-it-all-in-the-corner computer space was going to need a major upgrade. See how we converted this room into a home office outfitted with all the space and functionality necessary to get things done. More
Last month I challenged myself to clear off my desk every night at the end of my work day. I'd found, like many people who work from home, that work can easily spill into the whole day.

After purging the things we don't need, we're now setting out to tame the ones we do. These are some of my favorite elements for keeping our studio manageable! More

This home office project is a great example of how with simple organization and renovation techniques you can completely change the style and give a space a fresh and modern makeover. See the transformation after the jump... More

As much as I laugh at the episode of 30 Rock where Liz Lemon is carrying multiple bags from the Container Store and declaring how neat she's going to be and how wonderful that will make her, it's true that accomplishing a big organizational project feels really good. A few months ago I succeeded in installing a closet system, and here's a bit of what I can share about the process. More
One strategy for preventing the loss of portable devices like the iPad or smartphones around the house is designating a "landing station". Most people just drop their phones and tablets on their desk or kitchen counter, but setting up a specific spot with a holder is a better idea if you've got a habit of always misplacing your device even though you swear, "I put it right here"...
