Organizing

You can even color code them!

It's all about being proactive and setting yourself up for success.

Fill your home with LEGO furniture.

This item makes cleanup a breeze.

With a little creativity, it's possible to dispose of your old undies in a sustainable way.

This inexpensive item will keep everything exactly where it should be.

Decluttering after something would have been used — but wasn't — is the best way to answer the question of whether you'll need something one day.

The in-store shops are perfect for those looking to make this winter (and beyond) a little more green.

Even if you're not an avid labeler, you can borrow this habit to save you money and frustration in a few specific areas in the kitchen.

Most of my bathroom bottles are about the same size as spice jars — so it made perfect sense!

Is there anything you can’t get at the buy-in-bulk giant?

Too many cookbooks is never enough. Now, where to put them?

That you haven't thought of yet.

It holds SO many masks and requires no tools to install.

Because running out would be such a headache.

You won't believe how long it lasts.

Welcome back to our tour of the city… looking for good ideas that are RIGHT under our noses. This week I got to visit Hands at home. Yes, that’s right, Hands has a lovely small apartment in the West Village where all the magic happens. In this visit Hands shows me great, space saving dish rack that has made her space work so well in the sink department. Originally a great IKEA design, I’ve now been able to find a few spin-off since the Swedish Giant discontinued the design.

Vertical storage is the way to go.

Even if you don’t feel the same drive to organize your home each menstrual cycle, it’s a perfect time to take stock of what’s working in your life.

However much you might get done in bursts of inspiration, it's helpful to remember that routine decluttering efforts are just as important when it comes to maintaining a sense of order.

This towel holder won't leave you hanging.

Even though the mess is contained, it has the potential effect that any mess can have on your psyche.

It’s great for dorm rooms, nurseries, bedrooms, and home offices, and can be used in the living room, too!

Whether it’s due to a nonexistent pantry or linen closet, a super narrow entryway, or minimal kitchen drawers, most homes present organizational challenges. The solve? Creativity... and some top-notch products.

And cleaned up my cabinets!

We know you want it.

Who says a vanity mirror is only for the bathroom?

We're loving this airy new color.

Your floors will be sparkling in no time.

Including a $10 pick from IKEA!

Say good-bye to clutter!

This weekend's project is not only going to leave you with potentially $50 more than you would have had, it will also help you make your kitchen more organized.

No bins, no extra clutter!

They're basically magic.

How you do this can be as quick and simple as a drop-off at a charity shop, or as detailed and fruitful as making for-sale listings for all of your stuff in good shape.

I remember the good old days when two-day shipping really meant two-day shipping. Not anymore.

Welcome back to One Good Thing back in my kitchen! This week I want to share a little change I made in my composting ritual that has made my life better – I’ve traded in my stainless steel composting bucket that sat on the floor for a neat and tidy countertop composter from JosephJoseph.

Organization experts agree: Everyone needs a storage solution for this one common problem.

Today, practice this quick routine that you can re-enact anytime you're feeling like clutter is getting out of control.

Welcome back to One Good Thing!!! I’m excited as ever this week because it’s FALL (and I love fall), and we’re rolling into our new season of OGTs, AND this one was so successful that my daughter stole all the props to build this into her own bathroom. It’s the best vote I could get.What is it that I’m talking about? I’m talking about taking tension rod hacks to the next level with a BIG DADDY TENSION ROD with which to make your shower storage even better.

This year, we’re on a mission to help you tackle spring cleaning on your time. Each weekday until April 13, we’ll guide you through a plan to clean and organize different areas of your home, but you’ll have the flexibility to choose exactly what to work on and how long you have to dedicate to the job. This is it! Our final spring cleaning mission.

Get everything in order and keep it that way.

Decluttering your summer stuff means setting up a house that's ready for all the fall festivities.

Because "Does this spark joy?" doesn't work for everyone.

Tip #1 is controversial, but it's so soothing.

Hint: It involves sparking joy.

It was a tiny change in the grand scheme of things, but the impact was immediate.

Just when I thought I couldn’t possibly learn anything more from the decluttering expert, Marie Kondo dropped her new Netflix show.

This may be the secret to finally getting the home you've always wanted.

The easiest way to manage all the stuff that comes with getting back into a routine? Have less of it.

Just fold and store!

These smart strategies can make even the most chaotic linen closet look a little less cluttered.

Your freezer will feel organized in no time.

Yep, my kitchen has eight Lazy Susans in rotation (pun intended). Here are some of my favorite uses for turntables that might help organize your space, too. 

It's more beautiful than some of my furniture, and shockingly easy to store when not in use.

Does your house get disorderly because people live there? Or because you actually have an underlying clutter problem that makes it unrealistic to keep everything in its place? Here's how to tell the difference.

Once you move in to a new place and set up your kitchen, the spaces you've designated for things tend to stay pretty much the same. Let's change that.

While you can’t simply increase your place’s square footage to ensure that all of your things have a home, you can get creative.

They can work in your home, too!

This "necessary" paper clutter is still clutter. Here's how to halt the cycle and reclaim your space — and money.

See ya later, small space clutter.

Make your home feel like a home away from home.

Plus, I have five tips (that I learned the hard way) for implementing the “10 things” rule in your own home.

Have you ever had guests over and then for some reason needed to move a piece of furniture, like the ottoman or an armchair? You hope nobody notices the crumbs and missing LEGO bricks, but still blow your own cover by apologizing for the mess. It’s the housekeeping equivalent of getting caught with your pants down.

Because every dorm can use some stylish storage.

It keeps my phone scratch-free, too!

These minimalist principles can help you enhance the life you’re already living (yes, even if you want to own more than 10 pairs of shoes... for each season)

Say goodbye to the days of stale snacks!

After this quick project, Michelle's former junk drawer is now more aptly named a "utility drawer."

These woven beauties never go out of style!

Pipes can't get in the way of this sturdy rack.
