The Sorted Home

📸 Time for a digital declutter! 🧹✨

Is your photos app bursting at the seams? Don’t let those blurry shots and accidental screenshots hog all the space! 🚫🗑️

During this project, we deleted:
• screenshots 📃
• past decor ideas 🖼️
• duplicates 👯
• near duplicates where no one was looking 👀
• quick videos with no content 🎥

We also moved all recipe ideas to the notes app and deleted them from the photos app!!!

Your future self (and your phone storage) will thank you! 🙌

Recently finished this book and wanted to share! It has some easy steps to take that can help you stay more organized. I found that I use and often suggest many of the tactics 🤷🏻‍♀️

When you maintain your space, the extra steps to cleaning are not quite so daunting!!

Some easy steps to help minimize the clutter:
1. Remove the trash - keep a small trash can in your room if that helps you dispose of it immediately
2. Keep a laundry basket in your room and toss dirty clothes in there right away
3. Keep a “No food in the bedroom” rule so dishes aren’t piling up. If you like a glass of water during the night, be sure to bring it back to the kitchen each morning

I recently had the opportunity to speak to Sherman Public Library patrons about Creating Your Photo Legacy. I always love talking to people about the importance of sharing your life story and the photos that accompany it!!

I love all that the Chatham Area Public Library offers!!! You can also mail your glasses on your own to be donated to Latin America, but I’ll be buzzing by the library to drop mine off!

We hope you had a great time watching the solar eclipse! If you're wondering what to do with your solar eclipse glasses, we have a suggestion. We have set up a collection bin at the front desk, where you can donate your glasses. The glasses will be sent to Latin America and used to view the next eclipse in October 2024. Thank you for your contribution!

Congratulations to !!! How good does it feel to have that stuff out of your home??!!

Thanks all for participating in the March Madness decluttering challenge! It’s a great time of year for basketball and giving your home a little refresh!!

What story do your photos tell of your life? Are your photos tossed in boxes or stuck on a device? Megan Johnson from The Sorted Home will show you how to create a photo legacy so that you can enjoy and share these memories with loved ones now and generations to come.

🍸Does the thought of untangling your cocktail collection drive you to pour yourself a drink? Tired of trying to impress your guests with a chaotic display?

🍾 Shake things up by adding a bar cart, stylish glass holders, or neatly arranged bottles to your mixology game!

🐶 Do you have a fluffy companion causing chaos at home? Feeling like their toys, collars, leashes, and treats are taking over your space?

Here are some paw-some ways to get things in order:
🦴 Use baskets to help keep like-items in one space
🦴 Keep the items you use daily out and easily available

📦 Planning a move or thinking of downsizing?

Here are six nifty tips to make your transition a breeze:
1 - Start early, don't want to feel rushed
2 - Declutter; start with duplicates or similar items
3 - Donate/give away, better to do before you move vs. extra cost and labor of moving it
4 - Keep sentimental items, but remember that memories can exist beyond your possession of these items, so it's good to cull your collection
5 - Consider the space in your new home; don't overfill it!
6 - Reach out to me, a professional organizer! :)

Oh, and guess what? I've got your back with my moving assistance service! I'll have you feeling right at home in no time, tackling unpacking and organizing with a strategic flair from the get-go.

1️⃣ Acrylic bins are a great way to store and display items in a chic and modern way. They come in a variety of sizes and shapes to fit all of your storage needs.

2️⃣ Baskets, on the other hand, are perfect for storing items that need to be easily accessible, such as blankets, magazines, and toys. They also add a cozy touch to any room.

3️⃣ Drawer systems are a great way to maximize storage space in your home. With customizable compartments, you can easily store and organize all of your items.

No matter your sorting needs, I'm here to help you achieve the organized and clutter-free home you deserve. Try out these three sorting systems today and see the difference it makes in your home!

👰🏼‍♀💍Attention all brides-to-be!

With February being National Wedding Month, it's time to start organizing and sorting your wedding decor. We love to help you stay organized and make your life easier, so we've put together some tips!

✨ First things first, grab some storage bins and immediately place your decor in them. For even more organization, use clear bins’, and painter's tape to identify each bin and what's inside.

✨Organize your items by category and where they will be used (ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, etc.) and keep them in the appropriate bin.

✨ When it comes to storing your decor, we recommend keeping it in an area or room that is readily accessible but not in the main space of your home, if possible. This will help keep your space clutter-free and allow for easy access when it's time to start decorating.

✨ Don't forget to create an inventory list to keep track of what you have. We suggest keeping a digital and physical copy of your inventory that you can share with others and bring to your wedding.

With these tips, you'll be able to stay organized and stress-free on your big day.

We know that keeping your space organized can be a challenge. One of the biggest culprits can be bulky sweaters that take up valuable closet space.

But fear not – we have found three ways to use your space best while keeping your cozy knits at arm's reach.

1️⃣ The first option is to neatly fold your sweaters and stack them on a shelf. This method is perfect if you have limited hanging space or want to keep your sweaters from getting stretched out on hangers.

2️⃣ If you have the available space, hanging your sweaters can be a great way to keep them wrinkle-free and easily accessible. Just be sure to use high-quality hangers that won't damage your knits.

3️⃣ Finally, storing your sweaters in a drawer can be a space-saving solution, especially if you have a large collection. Use drawer dividers or fold them in a specific way to keep them organized and easy to find.

No matter which method you choose, we’re here to help you make the most of your space while keeping your sweaters in top condition. Happy organizing!
