Hi, everyone. My name is Jamie Hoard. I am the founder of quarterly Professional Organizing
And today we're in the real simple home giving you an inside look of the spaces that we organize
So right now we're in the master bathroom and in the bathroom
you want to make sure you're putting your daily used items in prime real estate
So some good prime real estate areas are behind the mirror and any top drawers
So behind the mirror here, we have our mouth care and our makeup
We use some of our favorite acrylic organizers from the container store to separate out each category
We've also labeled each one. So that's super easy to put back
And then in our lower drawers here, we created a fun little hair accessory draw
It's got our headbands and our hair ties. And in the lower drawer
we have our back sock items. So we've got backup shower, backup soap and backup oral and face care
Along with our travel bags. We also use some of our favorite organizers here
the like it bricks from the container store and they come with little dividers uh that you can separate out small categories
So that's it for the master bath. Let's head to the front closet
Ok. So here we have the front closet which we turned into a utility and cleaning closet
There was no system uh in this closet before. So we had these shelves installed
They are the alpha shelves from the container store which we love
Uh They're super flexible and easily adjustable, uh especially if you rent or have a growing family
As you'll see here, this wall has a lot of panels. So a good solution for a wall that has panels is to implement
a utility track. That way you can just take the items off whenever you need access to them
Uh We love keeping the floor as clear as possible. So using hooks on walls or doors
whenever possible, when things are just landing on the floor, it becomes a landing spot and creates clutter
Uh We also love to organize heavier items down low to lighter items up top
So down low, we've got our arm and hammer cat litter and our trash bags up to our cleaning supplies
Uh paper goods up to our utility and tools which are less often used
We of course, always love to label as well. Our favorite label maker is the Brother PTO Cube Plus
And here we've used their larger labels and that's it for the utility closet
Now, we'll head over to the laundry closet. So here we have the laundry closet
It's not surprising to see wasted space above the washer and dryer
So once again, we installed the container source alpha system, we made sure to position the first shelf so that it doesn't interfere with this
lazy season. On this lazy season, we put uh, items that are used often like the arm and hammer and the dryer balls
And then on the shelves, we separated the linens by what bed they go to
So we've got the twin bed, the master bed, the guest linens and an extra comforter
And the system is super easy to install yourself, which is another big reason why we love it
And lastly, we're using one of our favorite hooks here that holds both the ironing board and the iron
That's it for the laundry room. Now, let's head into the kitchen to show you the pantry in the fridge
Ok. So here we've got the pantry, which are these two cabinets here
And at quarterly, we have an 11 step process that we go through in any space
So if you're tackling a space on your own, it's always best to start with a blank slate
So pull everything out, know that it's going to get worse before it gets better sort into piles of lights with likes and then determine
what you no longer need or no longer love. And when it comes to a pantry
make sure you're checking expiration dates and getting rid of those expired items
So when you're placing items back into the space, it starts to get a little strategic
So you want to determine uh what's prime real estate and what's not prime real estate
uh easily accessible areas should be the items you're grabbing most often and then not prime real estate areas can be items like back
stock or overflow. So down here we use larger bins to store larger items like uh snack bags
breakfast items like cereal, oatmeal and then the shelf that's more at eye level
We use clear bins and these bins come in all different sizes
So you can really maximize your space. Uh up high. We use some of our favorite lazy Susans
This is our favorite bamboo one. And here we've got our favorite divided lazy season to store uh grab and go snack bars
and a pie. We've got baking items. We also use bins of pie
That way you can easily pull down, grab what you need, stick back up and the shelf's always staying neat and tidy
It's super important to label in a kitchen and a pantry uh because this is a space that everyone in the household uses
Uh So everyone should be on the same page now where to find an item and nowhere to put it back
Also, keep in mind if you want Children to access their snacks
keeping those items down low where they can grab them. We used our favorite bin clip labels here to label the baskets and
that's our pantry. Be sure to check out for more inspiration and tips
