How to Organize Your Home

Looking for ideas for how to organize your home?

Want to see how actual people (not professional organizers or stylists) organize their stuff?

You've come to the right place!

When we moved into our current house a few years ago, I was determined to figure out how to organize our whole home.

For good.

On this page, I'm going to show you what I did to make our home more organized.

As we settled into our new space, I took lots of pictures of the organizing solutions we put together.

Most of the ideas I used are pretty simple. We rent our home, so we can't make a lot of changes. And, because we're renting, I didn't want to invest a lot of time and money into storage solutions we wouldn't be able to take with us.

The biggest improvements came when I started decluttering. After things were semi-decluttered, I started to focus on organizing the stuff we had left.

So, on this page, you'll be able to see links to all of the projects I've done on Organizing Moms over the years.

As our family has changed (gotten older!), some of our organizing methods have changed too.

Even though we may have moved on from some of our previous organizing solutions, I'm putting them up on this page in hopes that they may help someone else who's looking for ideas.
