Many people tell me they find organizing and styling a space intimidating. When I ask why, most of the time I am met with three answers.
1. Everything I like looks so expensive and I am on a limited budget.
2. I have no idea where to start.
3. I started buying items for storage, and I am not sure where they would be best utilized.
This doesnt have to be expensive, overwhelming or scary. Pick a small space that you use a lot and want to be functional. That is where you start. That is where you focus your energy and whatever you have that you love and want to showcase.
In my kitchen, I bake. I also cook, but I love to bake (just ask my skinny wardrobe - if you can find it in the back of my closet). I wanted to make the most use of a spice rack I had that was largely collecting dust. I typically use premixed spices, and the ones I buy in bulk are kept in magnetic jars outside my cupboards. So, time for a good wash and repurpose!! I use most of the jars for things like cream of tartar and various sprinkles. There are a few spices I had excess of that occupy the last jars in the rack. They are organized, clean, easy to find and use. It's a perfect solution for items typically lost at the back of a cupboard in plastic bulk bags.
There are so many different uses for every day items found in your home or office. Getting organized doesn't have to mean stress and expense!
