Reading Marie Kondo's eloquent book, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing, is what made me realize there were other people out there just as into organizing and giving spaces proper. purpose. Though I have yet to adopt all of her methods, I have adapted so many of them to accommodate where I am in my organizing journey. Seeing as she an amazing new series on Netflix, what better way for YOU to get to know her methods even more than by picking up your very own copy?  

Every drawer could use a little extra help keeping tidy, which is why I have fallen for Target's Interlocking Drawer Organizer Set! They are an incredibly affordable way for you to bring a little extra organization, with customizable features, to your home today! 

With three kids to look after, having to only a push button and watch this magical robot clean my floors is priceless! I use my DEEBOT in between deep cleanings to keep my floors looking clean, and it's also nice to be able to easily run it right before a guest visits. Gotta love those vacuum lines in the carpet! The DEEBOT may be a little pricey (still costs 2-3X less than the competing robot vacuums AND has better reviews, too), but seeing as I use it multiple times a week, it has more than proved its value to my family and me.

Kitchens are the heart of a home where family and friends come together. When having to choose seating for our center island, I knew I needed something that would be beautiful, comfortable, and easy on my budget.  These gorgeous counter height stools from Target's Threshold collection were perfect for what I was looking for, and, thankfully, also stand up great to the wear and tear from my children's daily uses of them, too!

This toilet seat is easy to install and adds an integrated child sized seat to your toilet.  This is may not be the most glamorous of home solutions, but this toilet seat, coupled with a small stool, allows kids have independence when going to the bathroom. Plus, you don't have to have an extra training potty or removable toilet seat hanging around and cluttering up your bathroom. I love simple home items that serve multiple purposes to reduce clutter, and this toilet seat certainly does that!

It's no secret that I love updating my home, but love doing so all while keeping costs low.  I use spray paint for a ton of my "refresh/reuse" projects. From chairs and frames, to exterior light fixtures- yes, even light fixtures, spray paint can go a long way. I used this exact spray paint on my home's exterior light fixtures.  After taking down the weathered, dull fixtures, they were given new life with a little bit of sanding and spraying.  You can see the results of an afternoon's work in my gallery. I even used this spray paint on the front door doorbell for added cohesiveness.  For under $20 and a few hours, lots of revamping was made at such a low cost!

What can I say about these organizational shelves from Target's Room essentials collection? Just that one of these shelves can be found in over half of the rooms in my home! They are inexpensive, great quality, plus, I love the simple design. They are perfect for storing toys, games, or puzzles in a playroom, to bins to hold socks, and jammies in a bedroom closet.  I use the 6-cube and 9-cube shelves in each of my girls' closets, their playroom and the basement.  I also use a variation of this style of shelf for our TV media council.

Pro tip: Use wood glue on the dowel pins when assembling, to add extra sturdiness to the final product.
