Organization is Key

We all know how amazing the Container Store is, but here are a few things you may not know they offer:

• Free closet design.  You can call to make an appointment and all they need are the measurements of your closet.  They digitally design your space depending on your needs and budget.  You can choose the finishes and accessories.  The shelves are removable so you can always reconfigure the space (something uncommon for most customized closet design).  Let them design your master closet or even office space!

• Cord control.  Cord Control contains all your cable wires/cords and extension cords in a sleek little box.  Use it in your office or under your cable box.

• Large white bins.  Unlike the traditional black or silver plastic containers for storage in your garage, they brighten up the space.  You can even purchase plastic sticky labels that can be written on with a dry-erase marker.  If everything has a labeled home, there's definitely a higher chance it will get put away!

Blogs I Love: Shop Sweet Things

At the moment, I'm loving the blog Shop Sweet Things.  With the holidays right around the corner, I'm on the prowl for fun, original gift ideas for family and friends, and Shop Sweet Things is a wonderful resource.  I especially enjoy the "Sweet Things Under $20" feature.  Can I help it if I see a few things for myself?

I've been hunting for a new iPhone cover and, lucky me, I found a post entitled, "16 Eye-Candy Cases to Dress-Up Your New iPhone 5."  OK, so I still have an iPhone 4, but I'm sure I can find iPhone 4 versions of at least a few of these adorable cases.  My favorite is the striped iPhone case that can be found on Etsy.
