Our Small Walk-in Closet Design

One criteria for the new addition in our home was a walk-in closet for the master bedroom. The closet space is on the small side (roughly 6′ x 7′) and because it needed to be designed for me and my husband’s clothing, it had to be highly functional. I turned to and partnered with the nice folks at EasyClosets for help designing the perfect system for our closet. Over the phone and online, I worked with an EasyClosets designer to create a custom closet that maximizes storage from floor to ceiling and delivers a super stylish look. Functional and beautiful. Love!

Here’s a look at the overall design. As you can see we utilized several functional storage features including full-extension drawers, double hanging rods and a fabulous slanted shoe shelf. Once I placed the order it only took a few days for the boxes to arrive. Yes, there were quite a few boxes too!

The install was done by my husband. He knocked the whole project out in a weekend. Don’t have the time or not a weekend warrior? No worries, EasyClosets can help find a professional to install it for you.

For a clean look, I selected flat drawer fronts, driftwood finish and modern chrome pulls. I love how it came together and was so excited to start filling it with our shoes clothing and accessories. Next week, I’m going to be sharing more images of our small walk-in closet design. Stay tuned!

happy organizing,

Fresh + Chic Work Spaces

As my own home renovation goes into full swing, I’m finding it harder and harder to keep everything organized. I have to admit it drives me a little crazy to not have spot for everything, but I know it’s for a short period of time. I also think it’s healthy for me to have to let go a little. One small area I’m trying to keep organized is my work space. Although that’s been a struggle to keep neat too! So in the spirit of organized desks, I’m sharing a few fresh and chic work spaces captured by photographer, Hannah Blackmore.

The One Sink Collection by Blanco

Earlier this week I discussed how homeowners are seeking gourmet touches throughout the kitchen. One fixture used on a daily basis and not to be overlooked is the kitchen sink. Kitchen sinks are essentially workstations and must meet a variety of needs. Finding a sink that allows you to customize your workstation based on your needs is hard to find… well, at least until now. BLANCO, German innovator of kitchen sinks and faucets and sponsor of #BlogTourVegas, recently launched the ONE Collection with three new stainless steel sinks and five innovative accessory kits that combine to form unique customized solutions for cooking, organizing and cleaning. The accessories are really what make this sink special and include a magnetic sink caddy for cleaning tools, a workstation to hold knives and utensils, an ash compound cutting board that fits to the sink and protective custom grids.

If you have a family and are worried about keeping knives out of reach, if you are a foodie and you want a cutting board that lets you clean, cut and save space, if you are living in a small metro space and you don’t have counterspace to both clean and prep – there’s a BLANCO ONE sink and accessories kit just for you. – Tim Maicher, Director of Marketing for BLANCO

Ziploop Mobile Shopping Organizer

Whether you are re-decorating your living room, remodeling your kitchen or building from the ground up, house projects produce lots of receipts. Couple that with the purchases you make everyday and it can be hard to keep them all organized. Lucky for us, there’s now Ziploop – an exciting mobile shopping organizer app making paper-free shopping, saving and returns super simple.

Ziploop Mobile Shopping App

In addition to organizing receipts, Ziploop saves reward cards, discounts, and return deadlines (key when purchasing home goods!) allowing you to never miss a sale or discount! For all of you who’ve forgotten to bring a coupon with you to a store, Ziploop has a solution for that too. It gives you the ability to scan store coupons so that they are with you at all times. Brilliant, right? And if that’s not enough functionality for you, Ziploop lets you tag your receipts and rewards under multiple categories you create (i.e. kitchen, bath, gifts, school) so you know exactly what you’ve purchased for that home project, family event or school fundraiser! Love this!

Even if you don’t have a home project, organizing your spending all in one place with Ziploop will reduce the stress of shopping, ensure you receive coupon savings and help you return items with ease.
