Noodles and Boots!

Ok peeps who wants to know how to use swim noodles in their closet!?! When our boots are left laying over with a crease in the leather it puts more wear on the material. Plus lets be honest, its frustrating and takes up more closet space than necessary! They do have boot inserts for this specific frustration, but those can add up and get pricey, so lets use something a little easier on the wallet. (click on the swim noodles button above to go to amazon where you can get the best ones for the price that I have found!) 

Swim noodles!!! 

Place a noodle in one of the boots, with your finger measure down about 1/4 of an inch inside the boot so when you cut the noodle it will not be seen over the top. Than use scissors and cut the noodle. Make sure you make two of them and you are good to go! 

Tip: don't over think it, just use your finger, make a guestimate and cut away! This is supposed to be easy and affordable. So you OCD peeps out there put away your measuring tape! lol! :) 

Cut your Snack Bags as you Eat!

Alright here is the instagram post from today for those who would like to Pin it! If your sick of oily hands and arms when you are trying to dig out your snacks, cut down the bag as you eat them! But make sure not to cut too short cause you need enough room to be able to still fold over the bag and clip it! 

Keeping your Wreaths looking Like New

 Like I promised.. how to store your wreaths to make sure they keep looking like new. One way would be the industrial hooks and balloon bags, but another way would simply be garbage bags and good ole' command sticky hooks. Either place the hook through the plastic bag tie or pull whatever your wreath is hanging from through the slit at the top of the bag and use that to hang. Quick, easy and will save you lots of money. Happy Organizing!

A Little Pantry Lovin'

Your Pantry is the focal point of your kitchen and your life really, especially if you have littles. We all know if we are not preparing something to eat someone is always snacking, so you need to make sure your pantry is in top functionality to keep your life out of chaos~!

Tip 1: Use baskets to put like items such as chips or crackers together- this is an easy quick solution to keep things organized.

Tip 2: Use the two step shelves to create more space. Look how they are giving this pantry so much more space below with cans and sandwich supplies.

Tip 3: Use spinners to create even more space with all your spices.

Tip 4: I always say this... BUT LABEL IT ALL! Anything you put in bins needs a label.

Tip 5: Get a large crate like basket to organize any pet supplies you might need to store in your pantry. Notice how nice it looks at the bottom right hand corner of this beautiful pantry.

Tip 6: Keep your plastic bags contained with this cute rooster storage on this first picture on the left!

Tip 7: Like I posted on instagram, get pieces that make your life easier like this cute, functional over the door shelving used here for littles go-to snacks.

All organization products in this pantry were found on Amazon.com ! If you want direct links to any of them please feel free to email me at yourliferevamped.com ! Happy Organizing!

Above the Pesky Microwave

How do you deal with that awkwardly shaped, small cupboard with a huge chord running though it?! I have two AMAZING solutions just for you!

1- Utilize the space for a medicine cabinet, perfect size and up high out of the reach of littles.

2- Use it for your spices because its right there above the stove most of the time! 

Tip 1: Buy a cabinet organizer as shown below from Amazon or Target. Make sure to measure your space and buy two if they will fit! One on either side of the ginormous chord! LOL! 

Happy Organizing!

Beautiful Office Space

When you work from home, making your space beautiful and funcitonal can be difficult. The only way to make this happen is to assess what you personally need to make it work. Tip 1: Utilize the space and furniture you have, add drawer organizers, bins and boxes. Tip 2: When and if you need to purchase more furniture pieces make sure you get something specifically for what you are needing.  Tip 3: Don't over think it. Make it functional and put everything in a place and keep it there. 

Kids Closet/ Toy Storage

     Who out there has to use their kids closet as a toy storage as well? For Emily we really needed to create some kind of sanity in this space so her littles could utilize both their toys and their clothes and shoes etc. 

Tip 1: Put clothes together according to what they are, such as tanks, long t-shirts, sweatshirts etc.

Tip 2: When you have deep shelves use deep bins, but make sure they are labeled.

Tip 3: Make things accessible, not hard to get too.

Tip 4: Put toys in clear bins so it is easy for your children to see.

Tip 5: Utilize your space correctly, as seen below, we used nails on that long empty wall to hang hats on and got a great inexpensive shoe holder for under the clothes. Once again easy access but put away!

    Make sure when you organize you do it in a way that is most helpful for you! Use my tips but use them in a way that you will keep put together! Some have asked about how littles can get to the books when they are so high? Those are the extra books and than there is a few next to their bed for bedtime stories.. just keeps them put away.
