Hello hello friends!  I’m sharing some organizing favorites from Pottery Barn with you all today!  Organizing?  Pottery Barn?  This post is a favorite and I haven’t even written it yet. :)

{Travel Jewelry Portfolio}

Whether we’re going on a trip for Spring Break or planning something fun for the summer I’m always thinking about travel this time of year.  I’m excited to share a few of my favorite travel accessories with you!  This travel jewelry portfolio has quickly become my best friend.  So pretty and it comes in several colors.

But the magic happens on the inside.  I love that it has a place for everything!  The top snaps are ring rolls but I don’t wear a lot of rings so I use them to hold my wedding ring, bracelets and larger hoop earrings.  The next zipper pouch is perfect for other bracelets or my watch.

Then it has a bottom earring holder for smaller earrings/studs.

I put my longer earrings in the long pocket on the left side.

But my favorite part is the far right!  I used to put all of my jewelry together in a small make-up bag when I traveled and I hated how my necklaces always got so tangled.  This zipper compartment that holds necklaces is so nice and honestly why I bought this!  I can stack multiple necklaces in each snap and it keeps them separated.  Love that!  Then the whole thing folds up nice and flat and is easy to pack.

I also love these cute Lakshmi cosmetic pouches.  They are so soft and I love the colors/pattern.  Easy to toss in your bag!  I use this larger pouch for all of my labeled travel toiletries.

I have a little organized “travel drawer” in my bathroom where I keep all of these so that packing is simple.

The smaller pouch is perfect for make-up.  I always keep my make-up with me in my carry on when I’m on the plane because if there is ever a luggage mix up or delay at least I’ll have my mascara!  #priorities

My husband and I also both love this black Tech Portfolio.  Perfect to hold the iPad and all other travel accessories.

I like using the top slots for my driver’s license and main credit card when I travel so that they are easy to access.  And of course the iPad is ready for my son on the plane when the whole family is traveling.  Enjoy Kole.  Mom is reading a magazine and then taking a nap.  I miss when my kids were babies, but I do not miss traveling with my kids when they were babies. :)

{Moroccan Woven Baskets/Faux Peony Bundle}

I can’t write an organizing post with items from PB and not talk about baskets.  They are my #1 favorite thing organize with!  And Pottery Barn baskets are my favorite.  I recently bought this set of Moroccan Woven Baskets and love them!  You can see two of them in this picture above (one by my chair and the small basket on my shelf).

The large basket is by my fireplace.

The larger two baskets in this set are perfect for blankets and books, but if you have small children they would also be perfect for corralling toys.  I had toys stashed in baskets all over my house when my kids were younger!  Easy clean-up. :)

{Daytrip Lidded Baskets/Bosworth Printed Wool Rug – BLUE}

The baskets I chose for the openings above our mudroom lockers were one of the first things I purchased when we moved into our new home and I still love them today.  Fun picnic basket style.

I use them to hold our winter accessories!  Perfect spot for them because we don’t have much and only use them once or twice a year.  The basket above my locker and my husband’s is holding our ski pants. :)

But my favorite baskets for organizing are hands down PB’s Savannah Utility baskets.  LOVE these.  I have them all over our house!  I use the larger size in my bathroom built-ins to hold toiletry items we don’t use as often.

Then I have the smaller size on display on the shelf above my bathtub.

This set is empty but that’s what I love about these baskets.  They look great as decor too and work with any color scheme.

I’ve shared this before but they are also the baskets I use in my pantry. :)  I used this small size for a while and then upgraded to the Savannah Lidded Baskets because they are deeper (a rectangle fit) and I can fit more food!  I just keep the lids off and in a separate cupboard if I ever want to use the the baskets a different way.

{Pantry Organization}

Another favorite organizing solution of mine has always been wall organization!  Pinboards especially are my favorite and we have them throughout my home and one in each of my kids’ rooms.

{Similar Galvanized Framed Corkboard}

I bought these pin boards from Pottery Barn for my pantry soon after we moved into our house and have loved having a place to display my kids’ school/art work, thank you notes, wedding invitations, baby announcements, etc.  Having a set place for miscellaneous paper items like this helps keep my kitchen counters and fridge clear and clean!

The PB linen pinboard in my bedroom is another favorite place I display special pictures and cards from my kids.  Items like this are so nice to enjoy when they are grouped together and displayed vs. a pile of clutter sitting on the nightstand.

My happy place. :)

So many fun items from Pottery Barn for organizing!  I’ll link to these items and other favorites below!

{Shouldered Clear Glass Vase}

This has nothing to do with organizing but while we’re talking all things Pottery Barn I recently ordered this Shouldered Clear Glass Vase and couldn’t love it more.  Aren’t these tulips so beautiful in it!?  I keep moving it around my house to different rooms and it looks good in so many spots!  I love vases that are narrow at the top like this because they are easier to fill.

I shared a picture on Instagram tonight and a lot of people mentioned putting a penny in the bottom of the vase to keep the tulips standing straight!  Such a great tip!  I’m excited to try it.  But I have to say that I always love it when tulips start to droop and spill over the sides of the vase.  Perfect imperfection. :)  I’m obsessed with bright pink at the moment and have sprinkled these raspberry faux peonies all over my home too.

I’m ready for Spring!  Sunshine on my face, flowers throughout my home, and of course.. LOTS of organizing.

Bring it on. :)

  1. I love the jewelry travel portfolio! I can’t stand it when my necklaces get tangled with each other too. I wish there’s an inexpensive version though.
