✨NEW DESK SETUP sparking joy all day!

Moved a 13” cube unit from my daughter’s room to the double desk. The gratification was instant as my stickers, notebooks, and supplies are now easier to access. Cables are “neatly” nestled in their own cube. Not to mention I am no longer hitting my knees on the printer!

2 cubes are not being used AND THAT’S OK! I’m a huge advocate for getting creative and shopping your home first when organizing. Just like life, you already have everything you need. 😌

What’s your desk setup?! Has it changed? Dm or tag me, I’d love to see it!

I, too, felt I couldn’t organize without the right basket, special bin, perfect container. Those cost money, time to shop it, hours to make the money to save then shop… SO, I never organized.

After editing the items in my cabinet, I found I do not need hooks for mugs, because my mugs now live in a lower cabinet. I do not need shelves inserts for all of my plates, because we have very few every day plates and the stoneware lives in its own cabinet. The only bin used was from my daughter’s sock drawer and now holds the cheese shredder, apple slicer, and mandolin blade. Done and done. There’s always opportunity after editing to add storage product, but honestly,
no new product needed here!

✨PAPELES are like weeds. If you let them grow it’s much harder to get rid of them!

Here is my very old and very flimsy plastic file folder. Bought in college as a good faith adult purchase. A few years later, it doesn’t not hold up nor does it hold very important documents. I invested in a sturdy hanging file folder bin and decided it was all the room I would make for important docs. Making. A boundary like this helps when you want to decrease the amount of documents in your home. It easily houses everything I may need to reference. It’s not pretty but it’s done!

✨Yes, that is a pot holding up the wall on the right. 🤦‍♀️ Do you have an awkward corner cabinet? I have seen some great solutions to the long corner cabinet (lazy Susan’s, turntables, new fangled metal racks that beautifully roll in and out) BUT sometimes all your cabinets need is T.L.C, a little editing and they work just fine. Respect the capacity of your space y’all! ✨✨✨
