Who LOVES to organize? Ok ok….I know. It may not be on top of everyone’s list but I think we can all agree that being able to easily find the things we need and living in a space free of clutter can definitely lower the stress levels in this already crazy, fast-paced world of ours. Did you know that unnecessary expenditures related to disorganization (last minute shopping at premium prices, buying duplicates of misplaced items, rush charges, late fees, finance charges, etc.) can cost as much as 15% to 20% of your annual budget? [source] Ouch! I think I’m speaking for the rest of us that we would much rather have that money back in our banks to spend on things we need or enjoy.
I AM one of those people who LOVE LOVE LOVES to organize and it gives me pure joy to arrange and systemize spaces and things. And it’s even more enjoyable when you can have some fun with your space by incorporating some decorative, crafty touches that really push the space to perfection. Sure the process to get there can be somewhat overwhelming at first, but the outcome of a clutter free and appealing space that is ultimately going to save me or my clients’ time and money is beyond worth the challenge.
I thought I’d share with you this week some fun, clever, and quite crafty and affordable organizing tricks ….the ones that might make you go “OOOOH, why didn’t I think of that?!”
