Open pasta boxes buried in the back, canned goods you don't remember buying, snacks way past the best-by dates. These items lurk in pantries. Organizing it can seem a bit daunting (read: time consuming), but Andrea Fowler, the author behind the lifestyle blog Keeping It Cozy, makes quick work of cleaning out this crowded cupboard. Dump cereal, flour, sugar, rice, and dry beans into large 32-ounce Mason jars ($20.99 for 12; amazon.com) and large glass canisters. Don't have built-in pantry space? "Repurpose an antique cabinet and paint the inside of the door your favorite color," Fowler suggests.
Rather than employ storage baskets and bins around the house to conceal her son's toys, Ashley Leckey Schoenith of Heirloomed blog integrates Wyatt's things in with her personal very neutral, vintage aesthetic. Wooden toys feel more like decor on a bookshelf but are still fun for little hands. With this design strategy, "the house looks like a lived-in home with personality even when his toys are scatted all around," she says.
Get Creative and Get Organized
Free the countertop, the desktop, and other surfaces from paper clutter by fashioning these simple graphic message boards from foam core board, a roll of cork, and embroidery hoops. To make, trace the inner hoops onto the foam core board and onto the cork roll (you'll need the foam core board to provide a sturdy backing for the cork). Then, cut, glue together, and pop the circle into the embroidery hoop. Mask off the design with tape, and paint. Rachel Faucett, the creative mastermind behind Handmade Charlotte and this project used FolkArt craft paints in light blue, white, and yellow. Once dry, pin up pictures, to-do lists, invites and other reminders.
Make Yourself Up in Minutes
If you often find yourself applying makeup in the car or just going with the fresh face (read: no makeup) look because of a lack of time, the beauty junkies behind Girls of Lincoln Park suggest adding Cargo's Color Sticks ($28 each; ulta.com) to your beauty bag. The oil-free cream sticks, available in five shades, blend easily on eyes, cheeks, and lips. "There is nothing better than finding the ultimate multi-use beauty product," says Lauren Nelson, one of the gals behind the blog, who loves that this three-in-one creates a natural glow with one swipe.
