Spring cleaning (or spring hiding, if you prefer)

March is here, and the long-standing tradition of “spring cleaning” will soon be upon us. A place for everything, and everything in its place, they say. But what about the little items that always seem to be without a proper home?

I’m currently working on a furniture project for a client who is begging for functional storage by her doors. Everyone can relate to an entryway cluttered with shoes, bicycle helmets, keys, pet leashes, books, packages to mail…. (should we go on?)

An entry console table is a nice option for the particularly tidy folk, but sometimes the space–and our lifestyles–call for a nice, big, accomdating chest. After purusing some of my favorite furniture makers, I thought I’d share my fabulous findings with you.

Whether you’re spring cleaning or spring hiding, consider an entry piece to help house those wandering odds and ends.

Accessories with Storage

We all want accessories in our home that both look good and are functional. Stylish magazine holders can add great texture and color to a room. Jewelry boxes or trees on your bathroom countertop would be a great accessory for any girl. Roll up some bright colored bath towels, placing them in baskets or trunks in your bathroom or use them for blankets in your family/TV room. Store your DVD’s in a basket verses metal stands.

What wE Love Now

I want to feature this week Lexington’s Twilight Bay Collection. An inspired interpretation of French and American styling, Twilight Bay makes a fresh design statement in three unique finishes – Chestnut, Antique Linen and Driftwood. Lexington.com

With this line they have executed unique, updated, and fresh quality pieces. This finish is extraordinary. Further, the storage capabilities are function and fashion.

The Harley Cabinet is 32½W x 87H x 20D in. What a distinctive and exciting way to provide yourself with extra closet space. Towels, shoes, linens … the list is endless.

The Halsey Bunching chests, for once, supply enough storage to really organize and break down all of your accessories. Does your husband come home every night and lay his keys, wallet, change on the night stand or the kitchen counter? This piece provides enough storage to completely compartmentalize. A place for your things scarves, belts, sunglasses, stationary, remote controls … just a few ideas. A space for everything that you never have a place for!

The Olivia Tray Table, finally a piece both stylized and useful. This piece provides pull out trays for your glass/cup of coffee while the other shelves are used to intentionally store and display items. This allows you to place your things systematically without always having to shift items around in order to make your furniture functional – You can actually use it!!!

I am so excited about these pieces!!!

Beyond Utility Utility Rooms

Why not make your utility room something you enjoy going into to spend time?

Utility Rooms can be areas for many home functions. You can have a place to drop your jacket, shoes, skis, or a place to do your laundry, ironing, sewing, painting, crafts, or do your household accounting. Think about the things you have to do at home that you would love to have a more functional work space in which to implement and plan from. What are the specific tasks? Those are the things you can plan your utility area around.
This is an area you can do unique features in that will just make you smile! You can be a little out of the box in this area! Paint the space your favorite color, feature pictures of fun events, calendar of family or personal schedules, vacations etc. Just make this a place you really enjoy spending time or passing through.
Give us a call if you would like to have Utility put back in your Utility Room! Make us your Master of Organization Coach! After all, you deserve to have it the way you want it!

What wE Love Now!

Organizing is the act of rearranging elements following one or more rules.
Anything is commonly considered organized when it looks like everything has a correct order or placement. But it’s only ultimately organized if any element has no difference on time taken to find it. In that sense, organizing can also be defined as to place different objects in logical arrangement for better searching.
Organization in your space doesn’t have to be defined or boxed in. For instance, if your home has a modern flow you typically live minimally. All things have its space for presentation. Clean lines and no clutter. Personal belongings typically are stored out of sight, sometimes in creative capacities.


Other spaces for a lady who is Urban Minded, but is not interested in the perfection that often comes with a modern environment, there are other appearances of organization. A fluffy couch with a quilt draped over it, books intentionally stacked on a coffee table with a tea cup by its side will look intentional.


Choose your design style to support your realistic lifestyle.
