Deco Edge Merino Wool Bottle Bag curated on LTK

This year, we had the incredible opportunity to transform the pantry in the 2025 St. Margaret’s Guild Decorators’ Show House into an Entertaining Pantry that truly shines and we're crazy about all of the details. From custom artwork to meticulously organized spaces, every element was designed to inspire. If you haven't had the chance to experience this space and the entire property in person, there's still time! The Show House is open through Sunday, May 11. Don't miss the opportunity to explore this beautifully reimagined home. A heartfelt thank you to our amazing in-kind sponsors who helped bring this vision to life: 2025 In-Kind Sponsors: @prioritypaintingindy @sherwinwilliams @kristy_stafford @jessicagreenartwork @foundry317 @parksidelinen @jennieggerdesigns Soft Goods Studio @meghanbarich_creativity and @less_is_maura @shelfgenieindy @heysouthernskyphoto DecoratorsShowHouse TheBaerMinimalist EntertainingPantry IndianapolisDesign HomeOrganization ShowHouseIndy

🧸 $24 BILLION.

That’s how much families spend annually on toys. Parents drop about $240/year, and grandparents? $500.
Meanwhile, 20–30% of toys are never even played with. 😳

Let that sink in.

We’re not anti-toy, but when every toy has a place and a purpose, the overwhelm drops and playtime becomes intentional.

Here are a few ways to keep it simple and joyful:

✨ Try toy rotation: Store 2/3rds of your child’s toys in bins and rotate them every few weeks (or months). It keeps things fresh and encourages deeper play.

✨ Involve your kids: Before birthdays or holidays, let them help choose toys to “bless another child.” And don’t be above bribing your kiddos to say “no gifts” in their invite. There are lots of different ways to incentivize this.

✨ Donate intentionally: Not sure where to take those gently used toys? We’ve got you covered with The Baer Minimalist Donation Guide—a go-to list of local organizations that welcome your donations with open arms.

✨ With the holidays just around the corner, consider chatting with your broader family about specific things that would enrich your child’s play. Consider group gifts (we are upgrading bikes this year) and experience gifts!

Mahjong has taken Zionsville by storm, so we knew it was only a matter of time before we got to organize a Mahj storage space in a lucky client’s home. This custom Elfa system was originally created to store craft supplies, but with a little magic we carved out a whole section for 🀄️ storage.

The tiles, the racks, the mats….its all so darn pretty! Curious to try your hand at this ancient game, come visit @meetatmahj for their classes and open play. Now open in the village!

Spooky season is upon us! If you've got a space that just keeps haunting you, you're in the right place!

Let's clear the skeletons in your closet in the best way by booking a FREE consult with us today!

Week six of the school year is underway and if your house is anything like ours the electronics (and the precious papers) have taken over every inch of counter space! 😂

We love how this luxe leather bin with a clutch organizer tucked inside keeps everything hidden and fully charged, while allowing the beauty of our client’s countertops to shine.

Curious what our favorite organizing tools are? We've linked them all for your over on @ltk

What's better than a perfectly organized closet?

This one is easy on the eyes and visually leaves you never second guessing where that favorite top of yours is!

Keep swiping to see how we maxed out every inch in this space!

No matter the size, we're up for the challenge of making your space work for you and not against you!

These shoe organizers are a total game changer if you find yourself like several of us with a slight shoe addiction!

Tricky wire shelves have met their match with this combo and baskets and bins!

We've made it easy for you and linked all of our favorites over on @ltk

So tell us, what's your dream pantry look like?

It's snack-thirty!

Here's your reminder to get your pantry in order now that school is back in session you'll thank yourself for knowing how well stocked your snacks are for after school hunger or to keep lunches stocked!

We've linked up all of our pantry favorites over on @shop.ltk

This space is giving us a case of the Monday blues in all of the best ways 😍

The kids are back in school… now it’s time to refresh the spaces that have been driving you just a little crazy all summer.

This closet went from mess to yes! —and we can’t stop staring 😍

If you’ve been dreaming of a tidy space that actually works for your life, we’re here to help.

📩 Send us a message or head to link in bio to book your own refresh!

We just can't get over this space! These bins not only provide function and organization but also add a pop of color and texture to this adorable playroom. And the best part? Some of the labels include pictures to help even the littlest ones put things back where they belong.

Ready to transform your space? Check out our favorites linked in our @ltk and if you need some help with the heavy lifting and where exactly to begin? We're always happy to step in, books are still open and there's a blank space waiting for your name!

Let’s take a peek behind those cabinets! 👀

This space went from catch-all chaos to beautifully organized bliss (because, hey, we’ve all got a space or three like that 😉).

Here’s your friendly reminder: Owning less is waaay easier than organizing more! It all starts with a little edit and a lot of love. If cutting the clutter and minimizing is on your Fall to-do list, we’re here to make it happen—cheering you on every step of the way!

📅 Ready to turn your messy spaces into magic? Reach out to us today!

The power of a refresh! 💪🏼

Question: Once great systems are in place, things totally stay organized, right?!

Answer: Sometimes! Certain spaces require more daily maintenance than others (think pantries, mudrooms, bedroom closets), which is why we offer refresh sessions to clients! A quarterly reset allows us to come in and optimize, edit, refresh labels, and get your home feeling as good as it did on Day One.

If your home is begging for a refresh, we’d love to help!

Closet dreams unlocked!

We gave our client’s drawers the LUXE EDIT treatment, and now every belt, legging, and layer has a perfectly organized home. 😍 Color-coordinated, streamlined, and oh-so-satisfying!

Luxe Edit Collab with @the_styleriot

Another LUXE Edit makeover we can’t get over—shoe edition!

@thecontainerstore recently revamped their drop-front shoe boxes and we are going gaga for them! If you want to protect your shoes, but also want to SEE your collection, these are beyond perfect for your space.

With a magnetic closure, they are so easy to use! And they come in two sizes, making them perfect for both men's and women's shoes.

Who’s ready to step up their closet game? Come have some fun with us and @the_styleriot!

When the @showhouseindy wrapped, I found that I was itching to do a project in our home. I had been collecting some really meaningful pieces of art and also felt excited to lighten up the paint color in our family room.

In true “If you Give a Mouse a Cookie” fashion, painting led to adding in wainscoting, which led to hiring @indyartinstallers to professionally hang this fun collection (because you can’t just throw a nail in wainscoting).

Add some battery operated sconces from @pookylightsus and I’d say, we’ve just refreshed my new favorite room in the house!!

And while you're here, a couple of tips to keep in mind when prepping and refreshing spaces for play:

☀️ Less is more
☀️ Keep toys in rotation
☀️ Easy systems
☀️ Autonomy to create

Cue the confetti! 🎉

We've given these bathroom storage spaces a fabulous refresh! By introducing clear bins and our trusty label maker, every item now has its own happy place, making daily routines a breeze.

And here's a thought—while tidying up, why not spread the joy? Consider donating unused toiletries to organizations like @outreach_indy, which supports youth experiencing homelessness through their efforts.

Tangled cords, meet your match!

You know we can't resist a moment to bring out the label maker 😉 Can you even imagine being able to find exactly what you're looking for in your tech drawer?

These boots were made for walking... and storing in style! 👢

As we transition into warmer months, it's time to give your beloved boots a well-deserved rest. To keep them standing tall and ready for their next adventure, consider these storage tips:

Boot Shapers: Our favorite boot shapers are linked on our LTK page, offering a simple solution to maintain your boots' shape.

DIY Solutions: For a budget-friendly alternative, roll up a magazine to provide the support needed to prevent creases.
By taking these steps, you'll ensure your boots remain in tip-top condition, making the seasonal switch a breeze.

This beautiful McKenzie Pierrot Homes stunner in @holliday_farms showcases a small marketing moment from @thebaerminimalist and we are just thrilled to be here. ;)

Everything about The Adelaide Model is thoughtfully designed and effortlessly timeless, from the arched doorways to the intricate marble backsplashes to the fixtures throughout. And ohmygosh, storage abounds.

We loved being invited to showcase our luxury liners inside this pantry cabinet - from textured, to clear to ultra-thin, there is something invaluable about protecting your cabinetry investment from the elements (we are looking at you, oil spills, water leaks and snacky crumbs).

There is so much beauty throughout this house and we hope a lucky buyer finds their perfect home during one of the upcoming weekend open houses! (And let’s hear it for these adorable custom 🏠 🍪- genius)!

That’s a wrap on the 2025 @showhouseindy and I am beyond grateful for the support and encouragement received over the last several months as this year’s Entertaining Pantry went from mood board to finished space.

We had the opportunity to highlight the work and wares of incredibly talented in-kind sponsors, and were embraced by the design community when we were awarded 1st Place for a Supporting Area.

I’m especially grateful to the St Margaret’s Guild who gives of their time to make this opportunity possible and the passion that they have for supporting @eskenazihealth - the impact is seen throughout this community year after year. It is a gift to be a part of such a special project each and every year.

Let’s meet some of our incredible Team!!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Amanda and Christie are two organizers that consistently show up and make BIG changes in our client’s lives. Always with smiles a mile wide, they are integral to the TBM team.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Amanda (left) has stepped into the Lead Organizer role over the last year and I learn something from her during each and every project. She doesn’t shy away from any space, but her favorites happen to be kitchen and pantries. And she is darn good at them too!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And then we have @wise.thrifts (right), whose passion for fashion elevates our services in a major way. If you want to know whether an item should go to our friends at @thetoggeryresale or is better suited to be donated, Christie will break it down for us. She LOVES drawer dividers in closets to create boundaries...and we love a good boundary when organizing.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m so grateful to have these two on the team and can’t wait to introduce you to the rest of our fabulous TBM organizers!

A wrapping + craft room dream come true! 🎁🎨

This space went from a solo setup to a perfectly shared station—because creativity runs in the family! ✂️ We took an existing Container Store ELFA unit and doubled it up so both mom and daughter have their own dedicated zones.

Now, wrapping gifts and creating masterpieces can happen side by side in an organized, functional space!

Who's ready to cut the clutter and create a system that works for you? 🙌

Fine art in a pantry...that is a MAJOR yes for @jessicagreenartwork It was so much fun utilizing the @showhouseindy Artist Program this year to connect with Jessica and have these commissioned pieces created specifically for our space.

A stunning large-scale oil painting, inspired by an elegant table setting, serves as the centerpiece of our Entertaining Pantry. But that’s not all—seven mini paintings are playfully nestled among the shelves, almost like little labels. Can you spot all seven?

While all of these paintings have sold, there are several beautiful pieces from local artists available throughout the home. Come visit this weekend and you might just find a piece that calls your name!!

And if you are as crazy about @jessicagreenartwork as we are, you can find her at the Broad Ripple Art Fair on May 17 - 18.

A heartfelt thank you to all of our amazing in-kind sponsors who helped bring this vision to life:

Fabulous photos from @heysouthernskyphoto!! Goodness gracious, you always knock it out of the park!

This year’s transformation of the historic Baxter House into a showcase of design was truly special. How charming is this custom café curtain? Courtesy of @jennieggerdesigns Soft Goods Studio! It was an experience we will never forget! We can’t wait for you to see it in person!

Since 1907, the St. Margaret’s Hospital Guild has raised over $14 million to support Eskenazi Health. This year’s event benefited the John & Kathy Ackerman Mental Health Professional Development Center at the Sandra Eskenazi Mental Health Center, aiming to enhance mental health services in our community.

The event runs through May 11 — if you’re looking for Mother’s Day plans, we’ve got you covered!
