Back To School Organizing

September 4, 2017 by Gosia

[vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]Back To School Organizing: It’s the Labor Day weekend, last chance for a family vacation before the kids are back in school. I really hope all of you had a great summer enjoying many warm days before school starts. Summer was very busy for my business.  I helped so many clients with different organizing services, moving,  packing and unpacking my clients and staging/ decorating service throughout the Tri State Area. I worked in Greenwich, CT, Saddle River, NJ, New York City and other parts of Bergen County and Westchester County.

I feel so blessed that was able to help so many clients. Thanks to my expertise and the right approach, I was able to create a stress-free system, organized and harmonized homes, beautifully staged spaces, all that to benefit my clients and create the best solution for them.

With going back to school, work and after-school activities, I hear from my clients how overwhelmed they often are due to clutter in their home, kids rooms, playroom and closets.

The thought of getting their kids ready for school every day, so often horrifies them.

First of all, please don’t buy anything for your kids anymore until you get their rooms organized and clutter-free.

I know you think it’s impossible but it truly is. It’s always about creating a right system that will work for them.

The most important thing is to decide what to keep, donate, discard and possibly to sell. Organizing and Categorizing is crucial, so you should have at least 3 piles of categories. Don’t be afraid to remove everything from each closet so that you are recreating that space with clothes that you will actually use. If your child doesn’t like it and won’t wear it, please donate it.

Work with your child at the time when you are going through categorizing and organizing.

Ask him/ her if you are not sure about some items.

Work on one space at the time! Next concentrate on drawers one at the time as well.

It’s also a good idea to have a plan about where you want to put all the clothes.

Seasonal items always should be available easier for you and your child. Out of season items, you can put higher since you will not use it at the regular bases.

You will be surprised that with this plan you can easily finish organizing your child closets and rooms. And it’s totally ok to ask your child for help.

You will feel so accomplished and stress-free when you are finally done.

Most important, your family will be so much productive each morning before you get your kids ready for school.

Organized life means a stress-free life![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”455″ img_size=”full”][vc_btn title=”Contact Maggie!” link=”url:http%3A%2F%2Fmaggiesorganizing.com%2Fcontact-maggie%2F|||”][vc_wp_posts number=”10″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Closet Organizing Tips

March 13, 2017 by Gosia

[vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]Closet Organizing Tips: Closet organizing seems to be a huge challenge for many people. I have many clients telling me how difficult it is for them to organize their closets by themselves and having difficulty with finding anything. As a result, you are getting overwhelmed, frustrated and less productive due to clutter inside of your closet. I will provide you with some valuable tips for closet organizing that you can follow. Of course, it will require some time and patience,  but just think about it, you will be able to find everything within seconds.

Before you start organizing your closet, put the timer on and your favorite music as well.  Dedicate half an hour or an hour of your time each day without stopping. You can absolutely do it if you focus!

Also, take few photos before you start working on organizing your closet. You will be amazed at the end when you compare your pics before and after.

Tip #1

Women love shoes and we usually have a lot of them.

When you organize your shoes, only display those that you love and will wear. Go through all them and please let go of those that you know you will never wear again. Leave some room for your favorite shoes and display them but categories. Use shoe containers for shoes that you will wear sometimes, like a special occasion and put them at the very top. That way, you will have a very easy access to your everyday shoes and you will protect others from any dust.

If you don’t have a lot of closet space, use clear containers for out of season shoes. When protected, put them out of sight until that season arrives.  Under-bed containers are also great! As you can see, organizing your closet is happening in your eyes.

Tip # 2

Categorize your clothes by season and color. By doing that, again, you will be able to find everything much faster and without any frustration. For instance, sweaters with sweaters, pants with pants etc plus color coded.  Your everyday clothes should be in front of the closet where you will have an easy access to it. Special occasion clothes, or out of season, you should hang or place in the back of your closet. Just remember to categorize by color as well.

Part of closet organizing is changing your hangers. Velvet hangers are great for all your clothes but very safe for your sweaters as well. If you don’t have a lot of space in your closet, use the type of hanger for 5 pairs of skirts or pants with clips on it.  It will save you a lot of space and will look organized.

Tip #3

If you have enough space for baskets and inserts, use it for your extra storage that you don’t necessarily want to display.  Belts, socks, bras, tank tops etc are just few examples of what you can store inside of them.  I love to use the ones with zippered top to protect your items from any dust. You can purchase them on Amazon but if you have the Home Goods near you and you are lucky enough, you can get them there at much lower cost.

Just remember, give yourself some time on organizing your closet.

Concentrate on one step at the time. One day shoes, second day your tops etc until you reach the end. Take a photo of your finished and organized closet.

How does it feel when you can find everything in your beautifully organized closet?

Love your closet, study it and enjoy it. You will be supervised of how many things you didn’t wear simply because you couldn’t find it.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”396″ img_size=”full”][vc_single_image image=”307″ img_size=”full”][vc_single_image image=”308″ img_size=”full”][vc_btn title=”Contact Maggie!” link=”url:http%3A%2F%2Fmaggiesorganizing.com%2Fcontact-maggie%2F|||”][vc_wp_posts number=”10″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]
