I'm just going to preface this by saying, I do not consider myself a cleaning expert, nor do I call myself a clean freak. I still have a lot to learn, but recently, I have discovered some really great cleaning products that, in my book, make a world of difference.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. When we got married, we spent a good chunk of our wedding money on a good vacuum cleaner. I was sick of the ones from my college student apartments that did nothing. I swear I never vacuumed in college. That's really gross and sad and beyond the point... but anyway... so I did my research, talked to friends and family about it and decided to take the plunge and buy a Dyson.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I love it. It works like a charm and I know it will be something that will last for years and years.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the <a href="http://www.dyson.com/vacuums/uprights/dc33/dc33-multi-floor.aspx" target="_blank">one</a> we have:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXsb9o0CQ-ZYhTLAMdyfm3jkriZwbQ56647n_XIltjQrpqzYcKYJNqmjageqqYwkunSEs_o02J7FNijIxct6v2YO_2Y01Qns-yGe9S0uhdHPX2cg5vmCj-i7v_DAYZ6FEde6tuKGT7Vek/s1600/DC33_Multi_Floor_front_gallery.ashx.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="404" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXsb9o0CQ-ZYhTLAMdyfm3jkriZwbQ56647n_XIltjQrpqzYcKYJNqmjageqqYwkunSEs_o02J7FNijIxct6v2YO_2Y01Qns-yGe9S0uhdHPX2cg5vmCj-i7v_DAYZ6FEde6tuKGT7Vek/s640/DC33_Multi_Floor_front_gallery.ashx.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's great and I highly recommend it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
2. As far as mopping goes, I have never been very serious about it. I remember my mom blocking off the kitchen and getting out her sponge mop contraption and a bucket of soapy water and going to town. I'm not really a fan of that. At all. I opt for the <a href="http://www.walmart.com/ip/Swiffer-All-In-One-Power-Mop-Wetjet-Kit-1-ct/1757079#" target="_blank">Swiffer Wet Jet</a>. It's so much easier. I have the really old one. I actually think I took it from my parents' house a long time ago, since obviously my mom likes to do things the hard way! ;)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4adMNaetxHN4yW6HWoXL1jriDFdooeiC5u-vEtxbY4x6b1cPoReYM2TF6LhjJc9UktkoWGv_PJCaYJvNZ3NEol_9gK5-bd82Gi0x2YOw0lrwPJwVM0eb1-2lSQrxIWDr9OpQj8EH9Gvw/s1600/0003700032694_300X300.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4adMNaetxHN4yW6HWoXL1jriDFdooeiC5u-vEtxbY4x6b1cPoReYM2TF6LhjJc9UktkoWGv_PJCaYJvNZ3NEol_9gK5-bd82Gi0x2YOw0lrwPJwVM0eb1-2lSQrxIWDr9OpQj8EH9Gvw/s1600/0003700032694_300X300.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
3. When I discovered these, my feelings about dusting totally changed. This little guy makes it so easy! <a href="http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/115864/Swiffer-Duster/" target="_blank">Swiffer Duster</a>. Get one, buy lots of refills, use it. It will change your life... well at least your dusting life. The dust actually clings to it and you don't feel like you have to vacuum every time you dust or like you are just swirling around a pile of dust on the surface. I got so excited the first time I used one that I literally dusted every inch of molding in our apartment. Obviously, the excitement has worn off, but I still love it.<br />

4. <a href="http://www.mrclean.com/en_US/magic-eraser.do" target="_blank">Mr. Clean Magic Erasers</a>. Best things ever. They really are like magic. I don't understand how they work, I just know that they do. I use them on the grout on our bathroom counters and they are the only things that actually make the grout white again. Also, I used one to clean my white MacBook and the cord. Seriously looks brand new now. I have the bathroom ones and the regular ones.<br />

5. So far, <a href="http://www.drugstore.com/clorox-green-works-natural-glass-and-surface-cleaner/qxp183016" target="_blank">this</a> has been my favorite all-purpose cleaner. I have tried out some other ones and this one smells the best and works most effectively. I love it because it works on every surface, including glass. I have the regular one (the green one), too, because I didn't realize this one was multi-purpose. They are both excellent.<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I try to buy more natural cleaners because I am not a fan of gagging every time I spray a cleaner. I have yet to find a really good tub/shower cleaner yet though that does not choke me! Any suggestions??<br />
<br />
<br />
What are your favorite cleaning products??</div>

Last Christmas, yes almost a year ago (can you believe Christmas is only 3 months away?! Me neither!!), while we were staying with my in-laws I got sick with a really bad sinus infection. It was not fun, but I got to see my mother-in-law's medicine cabinet and I was in awe. She had everything labeled neatly and divided up into categories. It was then that I knew I wanted to do that to our medicine. So now, about 10 months later, I finally have an organized medicine cabinet and I am pretty excited about it!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have this awesome corner cabinet in our kitchen that has doors on both sides. It's about the only cabinet I like in our kitchen. It has always been the home to all of our vitamins and medicine, but it used to be really ugly and look like this:</div>

Washi tape has been really popular lately and there are so many uses for it, as evidenced all over pinterest! I learned about using washi tape for labels from the ever-famous and ever-wonderful <a href="http://iheartorganizing.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">iheartorganizing blog</a>. Such a great idea! They are so easy to remove and change up.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
My categories are:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sleep Aids and Motion Sickness (I realize the way I abbreviated it on the label is kind of funny, but I wanted it to be shorter!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Vitamins (These are the ones we don't use very often, but I can't bring myself to throw them away. YOU should always throw things away that you don't use, though! ;))</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Eyes, Ears, Nose, and Throat</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tissues and Chapstick (We have about a million little packs of tissues and TONS of Chapstick!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fever and Pain</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First Aid</div>

When we moved into our apartment over a year ago, the kitchen and one wall (yes, just one wall) in our bedroom was this hideous green color. Our landlord refused to paint it before we moved in, but agreed to let us paint it ourselves as long as we chose a neutral color so I was determined to paint ASAP. We painted the kitchen before we even moved in, I could not deal with that being green. </div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
However, our bedroom looked like this for about 8 months:</div>

I could not stand it any longer, so we finally painted it a nice neutral grey and I am a lot happier with it! It really opens up the space and makes it so much lighter and airy! We replaced our bedding because it had gotten all bleach-stained from the products we use on our face at night. We got some nice white crisp bedding from Target that I love! My sister made us some new Euro shams and curtains, while I sat there and tried to help. I am lucky to have such a crafty sister. We also hung some prints that a friend gave us for a wedding present. Aren't they so cool?? I love them! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It looks so much better, but it still doesn't look finished to me!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are just a few more changes I would like to make.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm thinking some fun throw pillows, painting the dark wood nightstand a pretty coral color, maybe giving the book case a little remodel, and possibly doing a collage over the bed with the drawings in the center.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Stay tuned for some bedroom updates very soon!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Be sure to let me know if you have any suggestions or any ideas of where I can find some awesome pillows! I cannot find any that I absolutely love!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

This post is obviously a little different than the typical Pretty in Place post, but I thought it would be a fun one! I always like to read these on other blogs. I guess I am just nosy like that. Hopefully, you are too. I know my neices always love to know what is in my purse.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Right now, I am carrying my Grandma's somewhat vintage Dooney and I love it! </div>

<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Here's the breakdown:</div>
<div align="center">
1. I try to keep my coupons in my purse so I always have them when I'm out and about.</div>
<div align="center">
2. My FAV kind of pen. I write the best with it. </div>
<div align="center">
3. My sunnies.</div>
<div align="center">
4. My itty bitty wallet. I used to have a massive one and I am very happy with my down-sized version now (no room for extra junk!).</div>
<div align="center">
5. Gum, candy mints, mints (this is one of the reasons my neices like my purse!).</div>
<div align="center">
6. A makeup bag stocked with all of the necessities, you know.</div>
<div align="center">
7. One of those Colgate Wisp things. They are pretty sweet.</div>
<div align="center">
8. Advil: my medicine of choice at all times. Gotta have it. I just refill that little one with my big one from Costco. That's how serious I am about Advil.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
To break it down EVEN further:</div>

<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
1. Cutest little mini tweezers ever. Essential. </div>
<div align="center">
2. Extra hair ties.</div>
<div align="center">
3. Bobby pins. You never know when you might need one. Oh, and if you are in the market for some new bobby pins, Sally's has the best ones ever! I didn't believe it either until I tried them. They are perfect.</div>
<div align="center">
4. Blotting sheets. These are probably 5 years old, they look like they have been through a lot, and that's because they have.</div>
<div align="center">
5. I used to have twice as many lip products in my purse and realized it was getting ridiculous. Burt's Bees, Aquaphor, MAC lipgloss, and Buxom. All favorites of mine. If you have not tried the Buxom one, go out and get one now. It's the best. Mine is in the color Sandy. (Ok, this is really why my neices like my purse so much. The second I walk in, Livvy, the three-year-old says, "I have some lipgloss?!" She is quite the girly-girl.)</div>
<div align="center">
6. I am a hand sanitizer freak.</div>
<div align="center">
7. This is a rose water facial spray. I got it in my Birchbox and carry it in my purse for when my face gets dry.</div>
<div align="center">
8. Lotion. When you live in Utah, this is a must!</div>
<div align="center">

For me, the way I store my makeup affects every single day. There is not really a day that goes by that I don't use my makeup. If you know me though, you know I love to sleep, which means that I usually don't have a lot of time to get ready in the mornings or to put things away.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
When we first got married, I did my makeup in our room on the floor using the mirror on the door. I stored my makeup in <a href="http://www.target.com/sb/baskets-bins-containers-storage-organization-home/plastic-totes/-/N-5xto7Z5xpwc#navigation=true&Nao=30&viewType=medium&sortBy=bestselling&isleaf=true&navigationPath=5xto7Z5xpwc&parentCategoryId=9976184&RatingFacet=0&customPrice=false&categoryId=4242&facetedValue=/-/N-5xto7Z5xpwc" target="_blank">this</a>:</div>

It worked decently well, until I started collecting more makeup. It would take me 10 minutes to put my makeup away because it was like putting a puzzle together. So, a lot of times I wouldn't have time and it would end up all over the bedroom floor. My husband was not a fan of this. So, then I started doing it in the bathroom, using this container still. Well, then my makeup just ended up all over the bathroom! Not good.</div>

I found <a href="http://www.muji.us/store/storage/acrylic-cases/acrylic-case-5-drawers.html" target="_blank">this</a> beauty.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is perfect for storing makeup! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The drawers are very shallow, so you can see everything perfectly. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There are enough drawers that you can divide everything up by category.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It looks a lot cleaner and sleek so I am fine with storing it on my bathroom counter.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It takes 2 seconds to put everything away and my husband is pretty happy with that. :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you are lucky enough to have a makeup drawer, I would recommend a drawer divider that fits the dimensions of the drawer and is shallow enough that you can lay out all of your makeup and not have to double things up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One like <a href="http://www.containerstore.com/shop/bath/cosmeticsOrganizers/drawerOrganizers?productId=10028115&N=71793&Nao=0" target="_blank">this</a> would be perfect:</div>

One downside to this storage container is that the drawers are too shallow for a couple of my products. So, I just put them in a small bin in the medicine cabinet right above it. </div>

<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #535353;">1. Fall is my favorite time of the year! I love the crisp air, the changing leaves, and most importantly fall fashion! Boots are my favorite thing ever. I already have a new pair for this year, it's so hard not to wear them now. Boots in 90 degree weather are okay, right??</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #535353;">2. I'm a night owl and have really bad insomnia. I can't remember the last time I went to bed before midnight, unless I was really sick.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #535353;">3. I am really weird about my feet when I sleep. I absolutely CANNOT sleep in socks under any circumstance, but I can't sleep without my feet under the blankets. I always feel like something is going to come and bite my toes off or something. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #535353;">4. I love pretty much any chick flick in the history of mankind, no matter how cheesy and I strongly dislike boy movies (I'm lucky my husband likes chick flicks, too and don't worry, I still see some boy movies with him!).</span></span></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #535353;">5. In the 5th grade, my teacher passed out my cursive writing assignment for my classmates to trace. They all found out it was mine and pretty much hated me for it. It was a huge deal at the time and I cried about it. I cried a lot when I was younger, actually. I guess I was a little dramatic. My husband still thinks I am.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #535353;">6. I love talking on the phone. My old roommates used to make fun of me because every time I walked in the door I had my phone attached to my ear. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #535353;">8. I don't like sports. Playing them, watching them, watching my husband play them on XBOX, watching ESPN. Any of it. I don't like it.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><div>
1. Cake or Pie? </div>

Pie. My mom's coconut cream pie. It tastes like heaven. I wish it didn't take her 6 hours to make so she would make it more often. That's why I can't wait for Thanksgiving.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
2. Best gift you have ever received? </div>

That's a hard one. Probably my DSLR from my in-laws because it has made me want to take more pictures!</div>

7. If you could go on a dream date (think Bachelor/Bachelorette style) where would you go? What would you do?</div>
<div>
Oh wow. Well, of course we would have a private plane. So, first we would fly to London and see the sights and go on a shopping spree, then we would head over to Italy and eat some delicious authentic Italian food and gelato. THEN, after that, we would finish off in some exotic place with a beach and get couples massages and go horse back riding on the beach. It would definitely be an overnight date.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
8. Favorite, can’t live without, beauty product?</div>

Just one? This is hard. I guess my Colorescience Mineral Foundation. I love it.</div>

Although we don't have any drawers in our bathroom, we are fortunate to have a large medicine cabinet over our sinks that stores so many things!</div>
<div align="center">
I love having a medicine cabinet to store our bathroom products because they are shallow and you can see everything really well.</div>
<div align="center">
We use them to store our everyday, most-used products. To see how we store the rest of our bathroom products, see our <a href="http://prettyinplace.blogspot.com/2012/08/day-3-bathroom-cabinets-before-after.html" target="_blank">bathroom cabinet post</a>!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I took these "before" pictures a few months ago, so the products we have may be different in the "after" pictures. Here is the process I went through to accomplish the end result.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
1. I took everything out of the cabinet, section by section and cleaned thoroughly with a warm damp cloth.</div>
<div align="center">
2. I made a plan of where to put each thing that would make the most sense.</div>
<div align="center">
3. I put the organizers where they should go and put all of the products back in, with the labels in the front and made sure I could see everything.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
It all works like a charm now!</div>
<div align="center">

In the middle section:</div>

I used one of the smaller clear dividers we had (I found those at Ross a while back for $1.99 each!) to store our toothpaste and other "mouth products."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then, I moved the white plastic container from my side to this section to hold my makeup primers, setting sprays, and other makeup that would not fit in my makeup holder (a makeup storage post is coming soon!). I store my makeup brush cleaners next to those (did you know baby shampoo works well to clean your brushes?! So much cheaper than the cleaners made for that!) </div>

I love how it turned out! It is so much easier for me to put things away after I use them when I know that they have a place and that it looks so much better!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If we had this medicine cabinet in a more permanent home that we owned, I would definitely add some fun patterned paper to the back walls and maybe even a little chalk board paint to the back of the doors! :)</div>

Does anyone actually use medicine cabinets for medicine anymore??</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know my grandparents did, but I can't imagine wasting prime bathroom storage space on medicine! Maybe if we had a bigger bathroom...</div>

Last day of the challenge! </div>

Maybe there will be more "7 Spots in 7 Days" Challenges in the future!</div>

<div align="center">
Anyway, today's project is not that great, to be honest.</div>
<div align="center">
I just wanted to get our TV cabinet in order and it really did not take much to make it look a lot better.</div>

I added some baskets that we already had to hold all of the Wii and XBOX controllers and random parts and pieces. Are you so surprised I didn't label them?! Yeah, me too. I figured you can tell because I put the Wii Games with the Wii basket and the XBOX ones with the XBOX game.</div>

First step is always to purge! Get rid of anything that you have not worn in the past year and anything that is damaged or too worn to recover. Then, get to work!</div>

For the top shelf, I color coordinated my sweaters, separated my leggings/tights and belts and put them in bins, and then separated my bottoms with the most worn ones the closest to the middle.</div>

I searched high and low for some cute bins in the right size. I originally bought the white lacey ones that I have in the linen closet for my closet, but they were not tall enough and that really bothered me. So, I put them to good use in the linen closet.</div>

This seems really simple to organize. You buy one of those little divider things and you just use it... right?! Well, not so fast. I bought one of those trusty little trays right after I got married and this is how my drawer has looked for the past year:<br />
</div>
<div align="center">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidUW-OLhGHz3OqyXlhSxDKM3omu0DVESillrFj6pMGmkRnGox4EKy1kd-43KcKMeo-Ix6pr3FwYw-7T36rUUKb4VaGyFiwox5bQcvq5GVRrawvkcxn403mn25GGrmf1gCQdRRm6QrLOSE/s1600/Silverware+Drawer+002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidUW-OLhGHz3OqyXlhSxDKM3omu0DVESillrFj6pMGmkRnGox4EKy1kd-43KcKMeo-Ix6pr3FwYw-7T36rUUKb4VaGyFiwox5bQcvq5GVRrawvkcxn403mn25GGrmf1gCQdRRm6QrLOSE/s640/Silverware+Drawer+002.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
A giant mess.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
You have to buy the RIGHT kind of divider. DO NOT get the kind with the little slots at the bottom that the silverware can slide through. It will pretty much ruin your life. Not really. But, you get the point. It won't be good.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
So, I finally got this one and I am a much happier camper!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2Vaj6ug2Ds9AaZjqEMkGTYxmpRVOLEMrwCZP23vsaVQxoZ9PIy7rWQFMrBMK8YhX6c2eS8F_WQfe4vfgPw-gXKE_hMSJyLHVjdAglb5R5tJCJQwC9vnUPZeVhAQYOVGLfuQxR6VSAAbw/s1600/Silverware+Drawer+011.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2Vaj6ug2Ds9AaZjqEMkGTYxmpRVOLEMrwCZP23vsaVQxoZ9PIy7rWQFMrBMK8YhX6c2eS8F_WQfe4vfgPw-gXKE_hMSJyLHVjdAglb5R5tJCJQwC9vnUPZeVhAQYOVGLfuQxR6VSAAbw/s640/Silverware+Drawer+011.JPG" width="426" /></a></div>
<br />
I added some fun patterned scrapbook paper that I already had, removed some of the random items that had ended up in there, threw away the random take-out plasticware, and arranged the silverware in a better way.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKth9poxCHKM-1-KxaynxGhQhLzA79VPa1HGKXCjTJhYm3kkmr9O7UQiv2U60OSfoI64xtZ3rvZwWYwIzMu6CxMKoqVr1jYKFA2Z_NTD0shUpgEoFg0JJRquG4DqPkGM8GiUJufmF2aWQ/s1600/Silverware+Drawer+B&A.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="304" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKth9poxCHKM-1-KxaynxGhQhLzA79VPa1HGKXCjTJhYm3kkmr9O7UQiv2U60OSfoI64xtZ3rvZwWYwIzMu6CxMKoqVr1jYKFA2Z_NTD0shUpgEoFg0JJRquG4DqPkGM8GiUJufmF2aWQ/s640/Silverware+Drawer+B&A.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
These simple changes made a huge difference.<br />
<br />
I put serving spoons in the top section in the back, because I don't use them very often. Then, I separated the large and small forks and spoons and put them in the first 2 sectioons. Then, regular knives and steak knives go in the last 2 sections.<br />
<br />

<br />
I also store some sticky notes, scissors, dry erase markers (we have a dry erase board/cork board on the wall next to our fridge), and my favorite pens in the front of the drawer.<br />
<br />

Doesn't this sound like an exciting post??<br />
Not really.<br />
<br />
I wish my refrigerator looked like this:<br />

I just made a few simple changes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added a snack bin. No, we don't have children. Yes, we are 5 years old.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I tried to group everything by category.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Drinks go on the top shelf.</div>

Cheeses and raw garlic go in the deli drawer.<br />
<br />

<br />
Eggs and a random leftover fit perfectly on this little shelf.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Then, meat and some berries go on the bottom shelf. I am going to try to rinse and store fruit like this from now. I think it will cut down on messes and save a lot of time.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And, of course fruits and veggies go in the crisper drawers.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have become a label freak. I love labels. Rule of thumb: Label everything you possibly can with really cute labels and it is bound to look pretty!<br />
<br />
Eventually, I would like to invest in some nice glass storage containers, as well as some glass pitchers to store milk and juice. I also saw a bunch of refrigerator bins at Bed, Bath, and Beyond today that would work really well, but they were really expensive. I could probably find some cheaper somewhere else, but for now, I am happy with using all of these things that I already had!<br />
<br />
Do you have any refrigerator organization tips that would be helpful?? </div>

I am not going to lie, this was not a quick project. I have been working all day on this, but I am so excited to post about it! I used a couple of pinterest ideas I have been wanting to try. They were cheap, but NOT quick. I had to take not 1, but 2 trips to Lowes today. I hate going to Lowes. I always feel like a fish out of water there. I should not have worn my pink pants today. I'll just leave it at that.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Our bathroom has been so hard for me to organize for several reasons:<br />
1. We only have cabinets. No drawers. Drawers are easier to use to organize small things like makeup, face products, hair stuff, etc.<br />
2. I am obsessed with all things beauty. Makeup, skincare, hair, nails, etc. Therefore, I have TOO much of all of it. <br />
3. Using the vertical space in the cabinets has been a challenge. <br />
4. I have just kept putting it off!<br />
<br />
I think I finally have a system that works now!<br />

I used <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/43206477646053865/" target="_blank">this</a> and <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/43206477645761453/" target="_blank">this</a> from pinterest on the doors on my side of the sink to store bobby pins and my most used curling irons (yes, I have 3 most used ones...

I used command strips to attach everything so it will not leave holes or marks. By the way, if you are going to attempt this, BEG the guy at Lowes to cut the PVC pipes for you. I am still sore. The guy told me they were only allowed to make one cut per pipe and to buy a cheap hacksaw and that it would cut like "butter." LIES. ALL LIES. It was really hard. Clay even helped me and it was hard to get the cuts straight, so mine are very imperfect, but they get the job done. Here's the aftermath in our living room:<br />

I bought a cute wire basket at TJ Maxx for $7 to hold extra rolls of toilet paper and then used my favorite labels to label the bins on Clay's side of the sink (even though it's basically all my stuff, don't worry he has his stuff in the medicine cabinet, which I will post in another post!)<br />

For "my side," I got 3 little bins from Wal-mart to hold hair accessories, used a "lazy susan" my parents gave me a while ago for lotions and a basket I already had for brushes, velcro rollers, my straightener, combs, and my hair dryer.<br />

This was A LOT of work. I'm exhausted. I'm ready to eat some dinner, cuddle with my husband and watch some Desperate Housewives. I'll be back tomorrow with my Fridge organization.<br />
<br />
Hope everyone has a great weekend!<br />

Welcome to my linen closet, the hardest spot in my apartment to photograph! There is a wall about 3 feet across from it, so I could not get a good picture of the whole thing! But, I managed to organize it today! :)<br />

I am pretty happy with how it turned out. I bought some new labels (yes, I got go back to Staples and swoon over the Martha Stewart line!), a few bins from Target, and threw out some of our nasty bleach stained towels from 5 years ago and I have a whole new linen closet! It only took about 15 minutes. Seriously, how easy is that?! I love projects like that, where they are quick and easy, but make such a huge difference!<br />

Dresser drawers. Essential to store underwear, socks, under shirts, T-shirts, gym clothes, PJ's... but not my favorite storage option. They always get dishoveled because the things you wear most stay on the top and then everything underneath you never see and eventually everything just ends up in a wad. At least, that is how my husband's drawers usually end up. Oh and my favorite is when the socks get stuck in that space behind the drawer. That is always fun. Anyway...</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Here are my tips to avoid disasters with drawers:</div>
<div align="center">
1. Purge often. Get rid of anything with holes, stains, anything that is stretched out, anything that you haven't worn in a year, that one sock (because the dryer ate the other one). You know, just simplify.</div>
<div align="center">
2. Categorize and color coordinate. It makes life a lot easier. </div>
<div align="center">
3. Drawer dividers. My new best friend.</div>

They work wonders. They are perfect for dividing wide drawers to store small things like socks and underwear. </div>
<div align="center">
4. I just found <a href="http://www.darkroomanddearly.com/2012/03/diy-organized-t-shirt-drawers.html" target="_blank">this</a> tip on pinterest and it has changed my life. Okay, not really, but it has made it a lot easier to keep things looking neat.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Mine turned out like this:</div>
<div align="center">
The top drawer just has 3 dividers with underwear and socks... so I did not take pictures of those :)</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
The second drawer has my tank tops, cap sleeves, T-shirts, and PJ shirts. All categorized by style and color, with the long sleeves in the back.</div>

I recently came across the blog, <a href="http://abowlfulloflemons.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">A bowl full of lemons</a>,on pinterest and fell in love. On the blog, they have a <a href="http://abowlfulloflemons.blogspot.com/p/21-day-challenge.html" target="_blank">21 Day Organizing Challenge</a> and I decided I was going to take the challenge! The challenge lists one space to organize each day for 21 days. I read the list and realized I didn't have half of the spaces that were listed in our little 2-bedroom apartment. Then, a couple days later, my friend Ali came up with the idea to do "7 Spots in 7 Days," and so this little challenge was born! <br />
<br />
Here's the deal: my husband knows I have a hard time with consistence. He is the most disciplined person ever, but I, on the other hand struggle to stick to a plan. I KNOW I can do 7 days though. That's only a week. I can do it.<br />
<br />
I am going to lay some ground rules:<br />
1. Don't make it harder than it needs to be. Keep it simple and don't make it too time consuming. Let's get real here, no one wants to spend ALL DAY organizing one little space (Okay, maybe I do, but not most people). <br />
2. Stick to a schedule and make someone hold you accountable. (Clay, this means you.)<br />
3. Have fun with it and get creative! <br />
<br />
Alright, let's get to it. Here are the "spots" I am going to organize in the next 7 days:<br />
Day 1: Dresser Drawers<br />
Day 2: Linen Closet<br />
Day 3: Bathroom Cabinets<br />
Day 4: Refrigerator<br />
Day 5: Silverware Drawer<br />
Day 6: My Closet<br />
Day 7: Entertainment Center<br />
<br />
I am going to be posting what I have done for the next 7 days. <br />
We'll see how it goes!</div>

I was able to move the small appliances that were cluttering it up to another cabinet and move my cleaners from the pantry under here. It looks so much better! There is even a little growing room to store more paper towels! That makes a crazy girl happy. :)</div>

An important part of organizing is utilizing your natural routine to create spaces that make putting things away easier. You want your system to work with you, not against you. It should not be hard to put things away, if you have the right set up. </div>

For example, in our bedroom, I have created a little "get pretty" station on my dresser, where I keep my most worn jewelry and perfumes. </div>

The egg crate works great to store my everyday earrings, rings, watch, and bracelett when I take them off at night. I used to always lose earrings because I would take them off at random places and forget where I put them, now I always put them on this little crate and know exactly where they are in the morning! It works out perfectly!</div>

This is also where we store our tools (what little tools we have!), our vacuum, and a laundry basket.</div>

The top shelf holds our laundry detergent, dryer cloths, cleaners, and paper products. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On the second shelf, I keep all of our snacks, with individual bars and snacks in the smaller basket and large bags of chips in the larger basket. The clear containers are great for nuts, cereals, and crackers. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The bottom shelf is where I store all of our "cooking foods" and the 3-tiered shelf works great to see all of our cans and bottles.</div>

My favorite part is the labels! I love them! They are chalkboard paper from the Martha Stewart office collection at Staples. An organizer's dream. Really, the whole line is so cute! They are stickers, so I stuck them to black cardstock and cut around the labels, then I used a small hole punch on each side, wrote on them with chalk and tied them to the baskets with red and white striped baker's twine. It was kind of a process, but totally worth it in the end!</div>

I really wish I could have taken a before picture! It was all just shoved onto the shelves and I couldn't see anything. It is a lot more functional now! Not to mention, the labels really help my husband to put things back in the right places! ;)</div>

Hi, I'm Haley! I am a newly married, recent college grad looking to embark on a new adventure. I have always had a passion for organizing and making things pretty. As a child, I actually enjoyed cleaning my room and organizing my things. I have color-coordinated my closet since I was tall enough to hang my own clothes. I organized old school papers in bright colored Lisa Frank folders. I had the neatest binder at school. I would go to my friend's houses and want to refold all of their clothes because they were just shoved into drawers. My parents would get me to help them organize their own closet, the pantry, the kitchen and even the garage. </div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
I love knowing where everything is and making sure everything has a "home." Since I have gotten married and now have my own space that I can decorate and organize, I have taken it to a whole new level and have realized even more how much I love to organize and beautify my home. So, I have decided to start a professional organizing business and this is where I will showcase my projects, my successes and my failures. I still have a lot to learn, but I am hoping that in some small way, I can inspire and help other people to get organized and to live life more orderly with a little less stress!</div>
