working at work.

my day job has several perks [pet friendly: family oriented, literally: unlimited snacks, waters, coffee: comfy.modern work seats: fun colored binders] but the best thing about my job is.. i can organize. our office has lots of papers: blueprints: binders: files: emails: design samples: etc. which all should be kept in an orderly fashion. recently, i went through some of my office [it's also the blueprint: design sample room] and glamoured it, in an organized sense.

once again, i pulled everything off the shelves and put back as needed. there were a few cardboard boxes i tossed, but everything else found a place in the provided space.

i used office nails + hammer to hang up all color: wood samples on a side of our blueprint desk.

shelf i: wood samples, shelf ii: carpet samples, shelf iii: tile + ceiling samples.

too many clothes? never.

have you ever heard of the 1 year clothing rule? ....if you don't wear it in one year, toss [[ideally donate or take to your local consignment shop. louisvillians, i love sassy fox upscale consignment]]. well, i don't necessarily follow that to a T. many of my clothes are between 2-5 years old and i keep them because on occasion i pull something out to make a classic look..different. in a fashion sense, 'what goes around, comes around'. sure, my closet is full, but keeping it color coordinated and most items hung (tshirts, jeans, and gym shorts are folded), it's easy to evaluate my daily options. 

c.organized had the pleasure of working in a beautiful closet that just needed touch up ideas for storing lots of clothes: shoes: beauty supplies: purses. the process i find easiest is to take everything off the shelves/racks, determine what goes back in, and start placing in the appropriate place. easier said than done? (no worries, we can help!) if you have one rack (like my closet), i organize by color, then by clothing type. this closet had multiple racks, so was sorted by type of clothing (ie- pants, short sleeves, long sleeves, dresses), then by color. once again, not much was thrown or donated. 

although it would be nice, we don't need a carrie bradshaw closet to make our beautiful clothes: purses: shoes feel right at home.

inaugural project

where's a more lovely place to begin my first project than the parents beautiful southern indiana home? my answer: no where.

my mom + dad are quite the entertainers throughout the year, so having a guest room ready for occupancy is important to them. this particular room + closet had been a catch all for shopping bags: baby toys: blankets/sheets: books. throughout this project i didn't remove any significant items from the room, but merely put them away in an orderly manner.
