Is this you? You need the hedge clippers. You go into the garage, step around the recycle bin, then over the cooler, squeeze your leg between a bag of fertilizer and a generator (that isn't used and merely takes up space), and finally reach for the clippers. Maybe your garage needs a clutter intervention!

We have two articles that will give you some ideas if there are any spaces in your home, inside and out, that need a clutter intervention. We hope they inspire you!

We will be closed on Friday July 4th. Happy Birthday, America!

Four Steps for Attacking Garage Organization

  

    

(Family Features) Organizing the garage may be one of the most feared tasks in household history. According to a recent Gladiator GarageWorks survey, nearly three out of four households can only park one car in their two-car garage, illustrating the need for a serious garage intervention.

 

The importance of having a well-organized garage isn't only for improved functionality - it also helps add overall value to a home. More than 80 percent of real estate brokers or agents recently surveyed said that a cluttered, unorganized garage can have a negative impact on a potential home buyer's first impression.

 

Since the garage is often used as the "front door" to homes, having an untidy garage can be very unwelcoming.

 

There are a few steps that can help homeowners prepare for the ultimate battle against clutter and reclaim their space in the garage:

Transform Small Spaces into Charming Places

 

 

(Family Features) In home listings across the country, the word small is often replaced with a far more marketable and appealing word: "charming." But what makes a home charming compared to small? How does a homeowner transition a cramped room into a space with unique and appealing character?

 

Focusing on a few key areas will let you make a big impact in a little space, allowing you to create a charming and memorable environment. For starters, when dealing with a small space, it's important to live clutter free. Make sure that only mandatory items and furniture are in the room.

 

Create special spaces and storage

Lorie Marrero, a certified professional organizer and author of "The Clutter Diet," recommends carefully considering the functions of any space, such as TV viewing, reading or computer use, so that only the items needed for those specific functions are stored there. Understanding how this space is utilized also allows you to establish dedicated zones and supplies for each activity more efficiently.

 

In addition, Marrero notes that creating proper storage is the key to managing and maintaining a clutter-free home. "Even if large closets aren't available, there are a number of versatile and affordable DIY products that help create storage where there wasn't any. ClosetMaid's wide assortment of products can help transform any room of the home simply by allowing people to truly utilize the space they have."
