apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time


Spruce

12-19-spruce logo.jpgThis week we'd sell our first-born (if we had one) for just a little time with Spruce. We live in a small space, we work at home, and we're feeling a distinct lack of organization. The Cure's come and gone, and we really can't wait until the next one in the spring. Does any of this sound familiar?

Rachel Siegel is the founder of Spruce. She's available for private consultations on an hourly basis, whether or not you live in the Bay Area.
 
 

Bay Area resident? Invite her over, tell her what's bugging you, show her your space, and she won't look at you strangely or run off screaming. She'll give you recommendations for how to solve the problem. She'll also make suggestions for her favorite, "Spruce-sanctioned" products and tools and let you know where you can find them.

Live elsewhere? She'll work with you via the virtual world -- phone, fax, email.

Forget the service. I just want a reasonably-priced source for the sort of storage boxes and magazine files in the picture above.

Ditto as jeffnyc - Container Store. Stockholm line:
http://www.containerstore.com/browse/Product.jhtml?CATID=71230&PRODID=10017274

The website has orange, white, brown & black. There are versions with (trendy) lighter blue and striped in the stores.

All of the office-type boxes are here:

Also Target.com has a good selection, including the option to shop by color! They also include Real Simple's line of organizers:
