A Tisket, A Basket

Growing up, I always dreamed of living in a house with stairs that I could play on. Now that I have my very own house, with my very own stairs, I was always carrying things up the stairs, and down the stairs, and up the stairs, and down the stairs, and up the stairs, and...well, you get the picture! Until I found these cute little white baskets from Ikea.

Now I like to keep one of these handy baskets at the bottom of the stairs in my house. It holds all kinds of miscellaneous items that I'm eventually going to carry upstairs and put away. I like to keep one at the top of the stairs too, to carry things back down the stairs when I'm ready.

The beauty of this system is, my things look very neat and contained while I'm waiting to return them to their everyday homes. And perhaps the biggest plus of all is, I'm no longer carrying things up and down the stairs one hundred times a day - and this gives me more time to play!

Happy organizing, saving time, & playing on stairs ; )

Welcome!

Lemonade, daisies, lazy Sunday afternoons...these images all conjure up feelings of peace and tranquility for me. I think we’d all like a little more peace and tranquility in our lives. Our days are filled with so much activity that sometimes creating a home that is functional and orderly can feel like a never-ending task. Never fear...you’re fairy organizer is here! Let me wave my organizing wand, and together we'll create a beautiful home that's transformed into the haven you’ve always dreamed of.

Happy organizing!
