UHGGGH!
I am in the home stretch of organizing month! Do you ever start a project and then just a little over half way through you just want it to be done? Well that is what I am feeling about organize month.... but I know I will be happier, more efficient, and at peace when all of it is done! SO... onward with my decor cabinet.
At the top of my stairs I have two runs of cabinets. This is a lot of storage! I will not have 1/2 this much in my new house, but for now it has really gotten it's use. But the problem is that as I cycle things in and out... they don't always get put back neatly!
Every time I opened the uppers I was afraid some thing would fall on me!
I took everything out and threw away anything that was half used, like candles, or extremely broken. Except for this vase... I just could seem to throw it away! When I shop I buy multiples of everything! Those glass candle holders are from the dollar store and I have used them for so many different things!
All like things are next to each other!
I put all the bulky glass cylinders and bowls on the lower roll out shelves. I then organized my collection of vase fillers. They were spread out in various containers, I just didn't bother to clean when I was done with them! Laziness does not make for easy organization!
Now I feel like I am ready to decorate for spring... just wish it was more spring like weather here in Nor Cal! Rain, rain, and rain is the forecast for the rest of the week! A good week to organize in doors I guess!

Hi everyone! I'm Kelli from The Turquoise Piano. Thanks, Tiffany for letting me share my totally profound organizing tip today (okay, it really is the simplest thing ever). You may not even think this is an actual organization tip. Oh, but it is.
Make. Your. Bed. Every day. Not only does this one simple thing start my day off on the right foot, it actually motivates me to keep the rest of the house clean. When my bed is made, I make sure my makeup is put away after I use it and the dishes are in the dishwasher instead of on the counter. And there's just something calming about a freshly made bed.

You've kinda inspired me.. I want my supply cabinet to look like that.. but I don't want to do it. *sigh:)
I have the same type of cabinet with all my vases, etc in it..and you have inspired me to get rid of the junk and organize...upcoming neighborhood yard sale coming up so a great time to do that!...Cabinet looks great!
You must be done by now? Think of how easy it will be for you to pack and move....you already got rid of the stuff you don't use. This has been a great series.
No comment.
JK. You've done it again! Such a nice collection of vases and fillers.
You will be so happy once it's all done! Organizing and de-cluttering is so worth it. I read an article a couple years ago that really changed the way I think about STUFF in my house. Without sounding too corny, it was life changing!
Tiffany you're making my head hurt :) I just love your spunk and fire! It's just like Colin Cowie says "darling it doesn't cost anything to be neat." Have a great day my buddy!!
I love your decor cabinet! I need to organize my things all in one spot, right now they are spread out all over, some in the laundry room, the linen closet, pantry, butler's pantry, kitchen counter...

That cabinet looks great! So much easier to find things!
Storing like items with like is a perfect solution when you have many of each. Kelli's tip on making the bed is so true - makes a huge difference to one's day and mindset.
I'm afraid I need an organizing year...a month is not near long enough to sort out my messes. You do a great job!
I've loved this series. What a great feeling it must be to have everything organized. You are inspiring!
