These acrylic drawer dividers are one of those organizing products I use over and over again. They stay in place, adjust to fit different drawers, and come in multiple heights and lengths, so they work well beyond the kitchen. Think dresser drawers, bathroom drawers, office drawers, junk drawers, and just about anywhere that needs a little separation.

Expandable bamboo utensil organizer that adjusts to fit both smaller and wider drawers. I’m showing it in two different drawer sizes so you can see how the compact and expanded fit look. Even with expandable and adjustable items, always remember to measure your drawers first.

This royal craft one comes in black, white and bamboo. I’m linking the exact one, the little rubber feet I use so it doesn’t slip around and a few other options, including an acrylic one if that’s more your style.

Sometimes it’s the smallest kitchen upgrades that make the biggest difference. These salt and pepper shakers are functional, beautiful, and look great left out on the counter.

I also love that they come with three different hole sizes, because not every seasoning needs the same pour.

#LTKHome #LTKU #LTKfoodie

Just a collection of decorative bowls I think are absolutely beautiful. Some would make great fruit bowls, some are perfect for styling shelves or tables, and a few are pretty enough to stand on their own.

Acrylic drawers are my go to for organizing bathroom cabinets and making us of vertical space.
Linking a few of my favorites

Don’t underestimate what a few small wood accents can do in a home with cooler tones. They add warmth, texture, and that collected feeling without having to change anything major. Linking a few pretty wood boxes and accents with the same feel.

#LTKHome #LTKU

A little kitchen counter refresh with pieces I already had, plus a few new finds. I linked the exact lamp and vase, the same landscape print in a different frame, and similar options for the board and fruit bowl that would give the same warm, collected look.

#LTKHome #LTKSeasonal #LTKOver40

A pantry refresh using a mix of Amazon and The Container Store products to create clear categories, better visibility, and easier access to everyday items.

I linked the bins, baskets, turntables, and pantry organizers used to help make the space feel calmer and easier to maintain.

#LTKHome #LTKU #LTKmomlife

I went to Target for actual necessities and saw this Hearth & Hand tea kettle. I don’t usually buy colored kitchen pieces, but this green is so pretty in person. I love a mostly neutral kitchen with little touches of blue or green, and this feels like a good way to do that. It comes in creamy white and gold as well if color is not your thing. I kind of think I need to go back for it.

Not every closet comes with great shoe storage, but that doesn’t mean your shoes need to live in a floor pile. I like using stackable drop front bins for shoes you want protected, shoe towers when you have vertical space, and simple shelves when you want something easy to see and maintain. These options are all renter friendly as well. Organizer tip: If you’re really tight on space, place one shoe facing forward and the other facing backward. It takes up less room than storing pairs side by side.

#LTKHome #LTKU

As a professional organizer, there are certain closet products I find myself reaching for again and again.

A few favorites from client projects and my own home: slim hangers, drop-front shoe boxes, purse organizers, open-front bins, drawer dividers, shoe storage, and closet system pieces that actually earn their space.

#LTKHome #LTKmomlife

These faux ranunculus stems are so pretty in person, and I love that they don’t have that plastic look. Soft, full, and really easy to style in a simple vase. I used two bunches here for a fuller look with this vase.

Linking the stems and vase here.

#LTKHome

These Target vases have just the right amount of softness. Neutral, simple, and a subtle touch of femininity without feeling overly sweet.

#LTKHome

Linen closet reset with a much calmer ending.

We simplified the categories, folded towels so they were easier to see, and added better containment for the smaller bathroom extras that always seem to multiply.

Small closet, big difference.

Linked a few organizing favorites that help make linen closets easier to maintain.

#LTKOver40 #LTKmomlife #LTKHome

Pantry shelves are so much easier to use when you can actually see what’s hiding in the back.

These black expandable 3 tier shelf risers are one of those simple products that make cans, jars, syrups, and smaller pantry items feel way less chaotic. I like them because they adjust to the shelf width and create height without needing a full pantry makeover.

I also used metal pantry baskets to corral the overflow and keep categories together, because loose pantry items love to wander off and start their own little clutter community.

Linked the shelf risers and a few of my favorite pantry baskets here.

Baby closets can get emotional fast. The tiny clothes, the next sizes, the “I can’t believe they already outgrew this” pile.

For this reset, I kept it simple with a few bins to separate what fits now, what’s coming next, and what’s worth saving. I also added a few baby closet favorites I’d use for this kind of space, like soft bins, drawer dividers, labels, and slim hangers.

#LTKHome #LTKmomlife #LTKBaby

A few Amazon faux stems and florals I’d use for simple home styling. These add softness, texture, and a little life to vases, shelves, entryways, bathrooms, and all those spots that need something pretty without committing to fresh flowers every week.

#LTKHome #LTKSeasonal #LTKmomlife

Spice cabinets are one of those spaces where the right product actually makes a huge difference.

For most cabinets, a simple three tier spice rack is enough to help you see what’s hiding in the back instead of buying your third paprika like it’s a family tradition.

I used a mix of acrylic tiered risers and adjustable bamboo spice racks in these client spaces, depending on the cabinet and the look we wanted.

The matching spice jars are definitely not required, but they do level everything up. And honestly, they can make spices easier to see because the packaging isn’t visually yelling at you anymore. You’re just looking at clean labels, which makes grabbing what you need so much easier.

That said, spice jars only make sense if you’re willing to keep up with them. If refilling jars sounds like a personal attack, skip them and go with a tiered rack. You’ll still get a much more functional cabinet.

Linked a few of my go to spice cabinet or drawer favorites here.

I posted the runner rug on its own, but this is the full bathroom direction I’m loving.

Warm wood, soft white towels, vintage style art, amber bottles, oil rubbed bronze, a washable runner, and a little greenery. It feels calm and collected without looking too perfect.

Basically the bathroom mood board that convinced me I might need to decorate my own bathroom now.

Linking the Amazon bathroom decor finds here.

#LTKHome #LTKmomlife #LTKOver40

Second try for my bathroom rug was the winner. I ordered one before this and had to return it.

This is the beige/blue in the 2 x 6 size for our double sink, and the colors are even prettier in person. It has soft blue, beige, and a little rust in it, so it feels warm without being too busy.

The first rug I tried had way too much rubber on the back, and I don’t love washing rugs like that. This one is thin, soft, washable, and has enough grip to stay put without that heavy rubber backing.

Basically, nonslip without feeling like I’m putting a yoga mat in my washing machine…. which by the way is really bad for your washer and dryer as it starts to break down.

I liked it so much I’m ordering more, and bonus, it’s on sale right now!

This garage got a full reset.

We sorted through everything, decluttered what no longer needed to stay, and moved items back to the places where they actually belonged.

Appliances and seasonal serving pieces came back inside the house, while garage and outdoor items, like bug spray and extra supplies, moved out of the laundry room and into the garage.

We reused bins she already had, added a few of my favorite Container Store multipurpose bins, and labeled the categories with my Brother P touch label maker so everything is easier to find.

We also mapped out bike storage for the wall, which is one of those small changes that makes a huge difference in a garage.

Used items and similar are linked below

#LTKHome #LTKSeasonal #LTKOver40

This laundry room just needed better zones. We moved a few things that made more sense somewhere else, grouped the laundry items together, and used clear bins, labels, and turntables so everything is easier to find and put back.

Linking the exact products I used, including the label maker and a few similar options if you’re trying to make your laundry room feel less like a catchall and more like an actual working space.

#LTKHome #LTKOver40 #LTKmomlife

Small pantry makeover using mostly acrylic bins, per my client’s request, with a few simple canisters mixed in for the items that made sense.

We kept this one budget-friendly, functional, and easy to maintain. Nothing overly complicated, just clear categories, better visibility, and a pantry that feels calmer every time she opens the door.

#LTKHome #LTKfoodie #LTKmomlife

Helped a client decorate her loft area. We used this Amazon duvet cover in my client’s loft bedroom, and I loved it so much I have the same one on my own bed. Linking the exact duvet plus similar pillows and accents to get the look.

#LTKHome #LTKmomlife

Budget friendly under stairs closet upgrade using basic wire shelving and simple bins.

This client was organizing several areas of her home, so we needed a solution that made sense for the space and the budget. Since this closet is mostly hidden storage, function mattered more than fancy.

The 12 inch wire shelves worked well here because the closet was narrow, and the deeper, prettier options would have taken up too much space.

Everything is now off the floor, easier to see, and grouped by category. Not every organizing solution has to be “dream pantry” pretty. Sometimes it just needs to work.

Linking the shelving and storage bins here.

These are one of my favorite go-to organizers for creating a snack drawer, and they’re currently BOGO during The Container Store’s big sale. They come in different sizes, so you can piece them together based on your drawer instead of trying to force one giant organizer to work.

Perfect for snacks, tea bags, bars, pouches, little treats, and all the random “mom, do we have any more?” things.

Linking the ones I used here.

#LTKmomlife #LTKHome #LTKSaleAlert

Lazy Susans are one of those organizing products I reach for constantly because they actually make sense.

They work in pantries, cabinets, under sinks, bathroom closets, craft spaces, and pretty much any awkward corner where things like to disappear forever.

I love them because they make everything easier to see and reach, without having to dig through a whole shelf like you’re searching for buried treasure.

Linking a few of my go-to options here, including clear, divided, and higher-sided styles depending on the space.

#LTKHome #LTKOver40 #LTKmomlife

This IKEA PAX wardrobe made such a difference in her closet.

Everything has a clearer home, the space looks so much more pulled together, and the best part is that it’s been easier for her to keep organized.

#LTKHome #LTKmomlife #LTKmorningroutine

One of my favorite multipurpose bins for real storage spaces.

These come in different sizes and work in so many areas: laundry rooms, garages, offices, playrooms, closets, and random household overflow zones.

They’re sturdy, simple, and actually useful when you need things neatly contained but still visible. They just recently added colored ones as well. You can buy them separately or a package and they are on sale at the moment.

#LTKHome #LTKstorytime #LTKSaleAlert

Entryway decor finds for a warm, pulled together first impression.

I love a simple console table, arched mirror, textured basket, lamp, greenery, and a catchall bowl for keys or little everyday items.

Pretty, practical, and not so styled that you’re afraid to actually use it.

#LTKHome #LTKSeasonal

A few purse hanger options for closets when you have more bags than shelf space.

I used acrylic purse hangers in a client’s closet, and when I went back for a refresh, I was so happy to see that little awkward spot was still working really well for her. I like the acrylic style because they support the straps nicely and keep bags easier to see and grab, but I’m linking a few different hanging options depending on your closet setup.

Great for closets, small spaces, or any spot where the purses keep ending up in a pile.

Linking these exact hangers as well as a few more great options

#LTKHome #LTKstorytime #LTKmomlife

Art supplies, games, puzzles, and all the little pieces finally have a place to land.

For this closet, we used clear bins, simple labels, and easy categories so the kids can actually see what’s in here and help put things back. Linking a few of my favorite storage pieces for art supplies, games, and playroom closets.

#LTKmomlife #LTKHome #LTKKids

A few elevated kitchen organization finds for when you want your space to feel more polished, intentional, and easier to use.

Think beyond the basic bin: pretty spice storage, drawer organizers, wood turntables, clear storage, and those small details that make everyday kitchen routines feel smoother.

You do not need every pretty organizing product to have a functional kitchen, but when the right pieces fit your space, they can make the whole kitchen feel calmer and more pulled together.

#LTKmomlife #LTKfoodie #LTKHome

Another under sink reset using two of my favorite simple organizing staples: clear pull out drawers and open bins.

They’re affordable, easy to use, and they make these awkward little cabinets so much easier to maintain.

I use these all the time because they work in bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, and pretty much anywhere you need a little more structure without overcomplicating it.

The black drawer organizer is on sale right now too!!
