My mom has been here since Sunday and she is an organizing machine.

I wish I could say I was better at it, but I am not.

Although my home is very clean, don’t open a drawer.

I like things organized but I am horrible at keeping them that way.

I have to dig myself out of my cluttered closets and drawers about every three months.

I finally think I have found my problem, I need more organizing tools! 

We have spent the last two days planning and purchasing everything to get me organized.

We started in Emory’s room.

Since we live in a 900 sq. ft two bedroom condo, her bedroom doubles as a play room.

Toy storage is a huge issue.

Yesterday we purchased this Expedit bookcase from Ikea.

It looks great and provides an easy and accessible way for Emory to get her toys.

I am also amazed at how many toys it ended up holding.

  

We made a quick stop at HomeGoods today and found the perfect items to accessorize the top of the bookcase. I can’t wait to style it!

My mom is on a role and I don’t want to stop her!

Since Sunday she has tackled:

Go Mom go!

Here is a picture from last night at 10:30 pm.

Yes, that is my bedroom.

Ahh, scary!

I can’t wait to enjoy all my newly organized spaces.

So, the big question…

Do you like to organize? Or do you close your eyes and shut the drawer?

Things have been a little stressful over here lately.

I spent yesterday in the hospital with a not-so-happy ending 🙁

I am fine, just have a broken heart.

These light and cheerful interiors from Muse Interiors are just what I needed.

Aren’t they beautiful?

It seems like every time I find the perfect throw, it comes with a hefty price tag.

What is the deal with $300.00 throws?

Fortunately, I have come across some stylin throws at affordable prices and I thought I would share them with you!

This multicolored zigzag throw design by Tracy Hutson is $25.30 on QVC.

I love love love it!

Jonathan Adler has a fantastic line on HSN for making his designs accessible for us regular folk 🙂

This greek key number is only $59.95!

And I am obsessed with his green hollywood throw for selling for $49.95.

It also comes in blue!

I couldn’t leave all you pink lovers out.

This pink Herringbone zigzag throw from Linens-N-Things is $35.99.

Do you know of any affordable throws to add to the mix?
