Beautifully Organized

I often find myself dreaming that everything in my home had a place. A perfectly organized, completely efficient little place. While M loves to have his stuff right where he can see it, I like things to be in reach, but hidden away. I'm trying to find the perfect balance, while lusting after closets, nooks, and offices like these...

I love the idea of turning a guest room closet into a bedroom. Guest rooms are so great to have, and needed, but it is unfortunate to have to do without some workspace, this room is the perfect balance! When guests come over, all you have to do is close the curtain.

It's amazing what a couple bins, baskets, jars, and other organizing mechanisms can do for a space, and how little they cost. This week I transformed a shelving unit with organizer boxes from Ikea. They are white with silver accents and look far more expensive that the $5 per set I spend in them.
