It’s fun scrolling through Pinterest looking at glamour closets of stars like Khloe Kardashian. How cool would it be to have a room dedicated to your shoe, purse or jewelry collection (even if you’re jewelry is more costume than real)? 

While you may dream of such luxuries, you have waaaaay too many practical needs to deal with first.

Your son is demanding a new bookbag. Your daughter wants to buy a hot new prom dress she saw at the mall. “It’s…

Are you tired of your “walk in closet?” Is it hard to claw your way into it because your clothes are jammed in like sardines? Is your garage a cluttered disaster-area with heaps of little-used storage containers, sporting equipment the kids haven’t pulled out for years and holiday lights – half of which don’t work? Is your laundry room a source of constant frustration? Mixed up piles of dirty and clean clothes eating up the floor. No…

Are your clothes jammed in your closet like sardines? Is finding the right outfit a pain?

When I launched this blog in mid April I had to ask myself if I was nuts for writing articles on two blogs per week (this home organization blog and my News from the Block remodeling blog), but I felt there was a gap on the Internet for information which focused on tips, tricks and comparisons of professional organization systems.

Yes – there…

“Are you crazy?” my friend Ron (and business partner of mine) said to me. “Writing two blogs at the same time, you’ve got to be nuts!”

Well Ron just might be on to something here. Yes I am a passionate guy and when I get into something I become a learning and growing fanatic. Reading, writing with the occasional speaking engagements sprinkled in have been the creative outlets for this learning over the last 30 years of my life. 

So at this point…
