Although my family jokingly mocks my strange attraction to organizing things, I think deep down they appreciate my "mad skills." Every once in a while they'll ask if I can help them organize a closet or craft space, and I ask them to prepare with the following list. I call it my basic recipe for organizing a room. With these few basics, any room can look and feel more organized, and maybe even become more functional (gasp!).
List of types of objects (brushes, paint, etc.)
Size of space available - don't forget to think up! Using wall space can save tons of floor space!
Budget for organizational supplies (paper covered cereal boxes can be great magazine holders if the fancy metal ones are not in the budget...everyone can afford to be organized!)
I bring my laminator, computer and some scrapbook paper to make color coded labels. What real organizing junkie can resist color coding?!?! After a little bit of preparation and a few hours of labor, we turn a cluttered space into an organizational wonder!
I'd love to hear about your tips and tricks!
Suzy
