Happy Friday, friends, and cheers to the weekend. It is Friday, right?! I’m still in that strange vortex of time… with Sloan’s last days of break this week, I’ve been straddling work and time with her.
I’ve also been glued to my phone, getting updates and news from my friends and family in Los Angeles. Fortunately, they are all safe right now, but scary seeing how quickly things change. It’s truly devastating, and so surreal that we’re watching snow fall, while they’re watching their community burn.
I’ve been sharing places to donate on my Instagram Story, so you can find that HERE if you’re looking to help, too.
Today we’re chatting all things organization… there’s nothing like the fresh start of a new year to purge and clean! I’m always so motivated to organize in January, so in case you’re feeling the same urge, here’s some inspiration from our spaces, on a good day anyway, ha!
Kitchen & Pantry Organization //
We started decanting our dry foods a few years ago, and I’ll never go back! As long as you have good-quality containers, the food lasts so much longer than when left in their original packaging!
Plus, it makes it so simple to see what you’re running low on, and it prevents me from overbuying.

By having snacks on display and so visible, the kids are able to easily grab-and-go, and you aren’t left with expired food hiding in the back of drawers and cabinets. And believe it or not, removing product from the package creates so much more space… there’s a lot of wasted space in snack boxes!

Did you know The Home Edit has a huge line of products at Walmart?! AND, they’re pretty much identical to their products sold at The Container Store! We chose those more affordable options when possible, but for some items we had to splurge a little more to fit the space best (like these deep bins and woven baskets).

My favorite part of this pantry is having the counter space for appliances… which means I get to tuck them away, but they’re still plugged and ready to use.
Keurig Coffee Maker | Set of Coffee Mugs | Toaster | Shallow Lazy Susan | Shelf Riser
These lazy Susans are the hardest-working organizing products in our house… they allow you to keep items in a compact spot, and nothing gets lost in the back! We use them in the pantry, medicine cabinet, fridge, under the bathroom sink, and more!

Our kitchen drawers got some love from The Home Edit drawer bins from Walmart, they are seriously the biggest bang for your organizing buck!
I love that they’re deeper than usual dividers, allowing you to take advantage of all the vertical space in a drawer. They are also sized perfectly for the products we tend to keep in each room of the house. Just arrange them like a puzzle to best fit your drawer and needs.
I resisted adding these Ziploc bag containers for years, assuming they were the same as keeping the box. I was wrong, friends. This system is so much better! Plus, it just makes me happy every time I open the drawer!
The same goes with spices… getting them out of their mismatched containers made a huge difference!

Bathroom Organization //
Here are The Home Edit drawer dividers in the bathroom… it’s crazy how perfectly they fit all our drawers! I have my makeup separated by category in a system that makes sense to me. Plus, can you imagine the mess if none of this was separated?!

I didn’t zhuzh or clean up these drawers for the photos… this is genuinely how they look everyday now that they’ve been organized right!

And of course the shower shelves I fell in love with last year (they even made my Sugarplum Favorite Things list HERE!). They truly work miracles at corraling all the clutter in your shower or bathtub… they stick to just about every surface and the price is great!

Closet Organization //
We have a big closet, but since we don’t have bedroom dressers or much bathroom storage, literally everything we both wear for all season goes in this one space. Keeping it purged and organized is key for my sanity… and creativity!

Office Organization //
Okay, so my office isn’t all that organized, but I do have the drawer dividers giving me a little sanity! I truly use them everywhere!
Does your New Year include major organizing and purging? Science proves our minds are less stressed and more at ease when our homes are free from clutter! It can be overwhelming to think of organizing your entire house, but when broken down into small spaces one at a time, it’s easier to manage.
And even the smallest organizing project can bring peace and a sense of accomplishment. Seriously, try adding these baskets with two rolls of paper to the back of your toilet and see how accomplished you feel, ha!

I would love ideas for under sink storage/organization for both kitchen and bathroom. Mine are a disaster even with a few bins and baskets.
Hi Claire! What about these under-sink organizers from the post: https://urlgeni.us/amzn/under-sink-drawers
And like sunscreen, the best organization pieces are the ones you’ll actually use… so my advice is find the pieces/system that works for you and stick to it!!! I try hard not to let my spaces get out of control with “stuff’!
