Get some color in your closet
Closets shouldn't have to rely on colorful clothing to provide charm and cheer. If your closet is big enough, add some punch to a normally drab space by painting the walls or decorating! After all, if it's where you start your day, why not make it pleasing to the eye? Putting some paint on a walk-in closet's walls can really make it an inviting space. Try going with the same paint color as your bedroom or bathroom to spice up your wardrobe space. You can also go lighter or darker, and add a few personal touches so you don't feel like ...

From collection, to closet, to consignment
Ever thought about making money on that unworn coat in your closet? How about those pumps that just never seemed to go with anything? Well, you aren't the only one. Fashion columnist Christina Binkley proves that in a recent Wall Street Journal piece on high-end consignment. "For Sale: Gucci, Prada and Chanel, Never Worn" focuses on splurge-happy socialite Patricia Whitcraft's desire to weed out a few unworn pieces from her Malibu home's closet. These aren't any pieces, though. They're top-of-the-line designer pieces.

Separate your spouse’s stuff!
If you have a spouse and you share a closet, you've probably had the "how are we going to organize our closet?" conversation. (And if not, you may be needing to.) And we don't blame you! Your closet is an important place, and if you don't have a "his" and "hers", getting your things mixed up with your husband's or wife's things can become a gigantic mess. That's why we suggest the number-one step to closet construction be organizing your clothes by gender. Same goes if your children share a closet. This can be a hassle-free way to figure out what ...
Hidden Clutter Secrets
Posted on September 2, 2010 · Leave a CommentUnless you hire a live-in maid, it’s almost impossible to have a spotless, uncluttered home. Between work and other obligations, it’s to be expected that some chores will go by the wayside from time to time. With the long weekend on the horizon, it’s a perfect time to tidy up around the house and get rid of some unwanted clutter. Here are some great tips from Better Homes & Gardens to help you declutter areas in your home.
Limit the amount of visible magazines on your coffee table and end tables. Don’t have your entire magazine subscription spread across the table. One way to decrease magazine clutter is by only displaying recent magazine issues. Box up or recycle outdated magazines.
The same principle applies to bookcases as to coffee tables and end tables. While you may want to display all of the books you’ve accumulated over the years, too many books can be overkill. Not only will removing books unclutter your bookcase, it will allow you to display the attractive architecture of your bookcase.
Remember to utilize baskets whenever you can. Not only can baskets be used to organize items, they can also be used to hide things from plain sight. Baskets are great space-savers that can be used in any room in your home.
To rid your kitchen counters of clutter, try placing small kitchen appliances in cabinets or in the pantry. Removing the appliances will provide you with more available kitchen work space.
