Organized Sale?

Don't ask me why, but an organized home sale is getting me really excited. 
Shopping for beautiful storage and containers is my kind of eye candy. 

Here are my favorites.....all on sale!


I just love the handle on these storage boxes. I think they would be great up high in a closet.



These long rectangular totes are perfect for my laundry room. I may also use one as a summer sandal & flip flop holder to fit inside a small closet. 

My teen is in desperate need of this shower organizer. Her lotions and potions are all over the place. 

Not to mention this waterproof device. Yes, she has tunes in the shower! Luckily, I don't mind her music.


I think these project containers will be great for organizing my things before we move. 


But this may be my favorite part of the sale....OFFICE ORGANIZATION. I need this the most. I know it is not exciting, but I think the gray boxes will be perfect to hide all my uglies in the office. 


Storage Boxes/ Rectangular Tote/ Shower Caddy/ Craft Storage/ Office Storage

I'm excited, this sale is just the push I need to get going. Back to school is right around the corner and I want to be organized. Do you have a system that works for your stuff? Do share.
Don't forget to enter my giveaway
Have a great weekend....I'll miss you.

Can You Fit a Car Into Your Garage?


When we bought our first home, we had a small detached garage. To access it, you needed to drive down an alley....we never put a car into it. In fact, there were several strong wind situations that I thought for sure, would put our sad little garage out of it's misery. We moved.
Not this garage...but very similar
Next, we went to London. When we moved to out to Ascott, we had a 1 1/2  car garage that we used to store many of our things. New Jersey was the next stop where we bought a much smaller version of the house you see in my header (pre-renovation). The former version had a 2 car garage that was made for small cars....I almost never parked inside that one.

NOT MY GARAGE, but you get the idea.
...and NOW, we have a 3-car garage that I always park in (1 bay). The second bay, where my husband parks, is not quite as accessible. It is cleared for the winter, however in good-weather months...not so much. Here is a picture I took of the 3rd bay when I was refinishing my china hutch.


There are so many "potential" projects waiting for me in all that "stuff". Now, at this very moment, you can't get any cars into any of the bays' because my shelving for the Spring Into Action challenge is spread out over the entire space! Which got me to thinking.......why doesn't my garage look like this?


Or this?


If my tools looked like this, I could find them sooner and save so much time!


This was an extremely long way of asking you creative people....can you fit a car into your garage?
