A Bedroom Makeover In Organizational Style

Cyndi Seidler — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 06:47:24 +0000

This project was a labor of love, and this already organized vintage-styled bedroom went through an evolution of being a MORE organized bedroom, with many re-decorating touches all over.

It all started in one of the clothes closets. A new solution for the accumulated collection of scarves was needed. So, using two long towel racks side-by-side, the scarves were draped over the rods along the inside wall of the small walk-in closet

Interior Decorators vs. Professional Organizers

Cyndi Seidler — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 21:21:40 +0000

I want to clarify the difference between an interior designer and an interior decorator. They both do mostly the same thing - design new spaces - however it's the Designer who has a college degree and studied about architecture. Whereas, the Decorator doesn't require a college degree to practice decorating,, and typically gains there skills from an already inherent knack and personal study (just like a professional organizer!).

Seasons In Your Clothes Closet

Cyndi Seidler — Sat, 12 Nov 2011 20:09:10 +0000

'Tis the season to be ... jolly about having an organized closet! Huh? Don't have one of those? Or maybe you have one, but aren't so jolly because the season changed on you, and now you need to access a whole different set of clothing?

For me, I solved the seasonal clothes "musical chairs" dilemma by having two closets - one consisting mostly of clothes for cooler weather; the other for warmer weather. One closet is a walk-in and the other is a reach-in. However, I know that everyone doesn't have two clothes closets in their bedroom. So, we manage with other solutions.

Getting Organized for the Holidays

Cyndi Seidler — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 02:31:59 +0000

Get organized this year (and every year) by organizing some holiday tasks in advance and establishing "zones" for your holiday tasks. You may also need to prepare your home for guests, therefore get ready to set the stage for your home to be guest-ready (just like home staging!). Overall, getting organized for the holidays means being prepared. And being prepared involves several aspects unique to the holiday season.

Organize Your Home Decorating Project

Cyndi Seidler — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 18:59:01 +0000

Beginning to embark on your decorating or remodeling adventure can hold all the excitement as creating your dream vacation trip. At least, during the visionary stage, that is. After that, the excitement can often get curtailed when you become overwhelmed with dozens of choices, mounting expense receipts, and the various contractors hired to a task on the project.

Organize and Customize a Home Office

Cyndi Seidler — Wed, 13 Jul 2011 21:22:01 +0000

An office in the home should be more than a place you work in - it should be a place you LOVE to be in, as well.

My own home office was a bit stuffy when I first set it up after moving in to my house. The walls were all white, my file cabinets were an "office" gray, I had very little "color" or decor items in it, and there was a homely shelf unit sitting in plain view. Dull, dull, dull. Since I knew I was going to spend a better part of my day in this space, it became important for me to spiff it up a bit.

Car Organization Made Easy

Cyndi Seidler — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 20:47:13 +0000

Getting in a tidy car feels as good as entering a tidy room, and visa versa - getting into a messy car feels as bad as entering a messy room.

I find it interesting that some of my friends who have tidy homes are not necessarily the same about their cars. One would think that the habit of tidiness is something that would spill over into other areas of that person's livingness or living spaces. And, a car is one of those living spaces. However, I don't find that the tidy habits at home are always applied to the car.
