Photo Labeled Hat Boxes
Photos are a great way to label the contents of a box. We’ve seen them used for organizing shoes, and this lovely example from Elsie of A Beautiful Mess shows them used for organizing hats:
p.s. find out how she DIY’d her boxes here!

Walk-in closet in a mini bedroom
An old fave from domino. This is such a great idea for a small room with no storage. A loft bed leaves leftover room underneath for a closet system to organize clothes and accessories. Fabric on the loft’s undercarriage and custom curtains dresses things up. Every inch is maximized and the space feels serene and clutter free.
Open Clothes Rack
A fun idea for clothing storage is utilizing an open rack. It could be a nice spot for organizing outfits for the week or for an edited selection of favorite pieces that also serve as eye candy. A little inspiration…
Find garment racks at stores like Ikea, Linens-N-Things, and the Container Store

Beautifully Organized Glassess
Do you have a designated spot for your glasses/sunglasses? While you can certainly just store them in their cases and in a drawer, for those of us though who tend not to use our belongings when they’re hidden away, a good option is to keep them corralled in a tray, which allows them to be out where you can see ‘em and easily accessible. This works whether you have two or three pairs (like me)…
or you have several pairs…
Another option is to hang them. A simple sturdy hanger works great.
Or you can create a DIY organizer using a frame and wire. Find out how to make your own here and here!

Adding Kitchen Storage
If you have insufficient cabinet space, and happen to have an empty expanse of wall, making use of that by adding shelves, is a great way to create additional storage. Kelly of the Glamourai did just that in her kitchen and I love how it turned out:
She used lucite shelves from the Container Store
and lined each with matching pieces, like those lovely aluminum vintage spice canisters. (Find similar ones here and here.)
Have you utilized empty wall space to create extra storage in your kitchen? The cabinet space in our new place is definitely limited, but luckily we do have an empty wall, so we’ll likely be adding one or two shelves as well as a pot rack similar to this one. I’ll share on here once we do!

Beautifully Organized: Lists
I’m one who loves lists (and have a feeling many of you do as well!) so today I want to share with you my round-up of 10 stylish list pads. Whether it’s a to-do list, shopping list, or simply a list of things to remember, it’s nice to organize and mind dump everything onto paper, especially onto pretty paper like this:
1-the long list, 2- to-do adhesive notes, 3- ‘get it done’ notepad, 4- orange zig zag photo pad, 5- striped notepad, 6- oxford pad, 7- peacock pad, 8- happy notes, 9- recycled paper market list , 10-market shopping pad
Tell me, do you love lists? Do you have a favorite list pad for jotting them all down?

Shoes as Works of Art
Love the idea of displaying (and protecting!) an ultra special pair of shoes as a work of art under a glass bell jar..
Do you have a treasured pair you’d consider treating like this?

Classic Pencils
Styled right, a matching cluster of classic pencils can look quite chic on a desk:
Thinking of doing something like that or like this in my new office

A Beautifully Organized Kitchen Cabinet
Love what Callie did in her kitchen. Not only did she beautifully arrange and organize her dish, glass, and serve-ware, she went an extra step by adhering black and gold mums paper from Paper Mojo to the inside of her glass cabinets:
It’s all in the details! By the way, the rest of her home is gorgeous. See it here.
p.s. In case you missed it – along similar lines, another beautifully organized cabinet.

Dream Dressing Room
So much to love about this walk-in closet: the custom built-in wardrobes painted a lovely grey, the floor to ceiling window that allows for abundant natural light, the glamorous chandelier, drapery and seating…
…as well as the little details like the beautiful crystal knobs and built-in natural oak drawer dividers.
Adding this one to my dream home inspiration file!
