Greetings!       
  
We've had a very long and snowy winter this year in Boston, but Spring is around the corner.

And Spring is the theme of this Neat Sheet. I'm sharing my tips to refresh and reorganize your home, and get you organized to travel.

Enjoy,

My family has spent a lot of time at home over the last two months, and many areas need some help. Here's a round up of organizing ideas for those spring trouble spots:

Get Organized to Get Out! The Best Travel Tips

At this time of year I'm thinking about spring and summer getaways. 

Here's a collection of my favorite travel tips:

Organizing Garden Tools

This week I helped a client (a landscape designer) to organize her garden tools and supplies! It was such a treat to think past the snow and towards gardening.

 

Top tips for organizing garden things:

  • Use your vertical space. This client had a small section of the basement for her garden supplies, but she used the wall space efficiently: she had one rack for long handled tools, and was planning to purchase 2 smaller racks to hold hand tools.
  • Hooks also help maximize wall space. I loved how this client used a hook, cinch strap and zip ties to keep her favorite hose organized for the winter. 
  • Use bins to corral small items. We used plastic and metal bins to keep gloves, hose parts, and seed packets organized. 
  • Label the bins for easy reference. 
  • Only keep what you really use. Broken tools and planters need to go or be recycled.
