Made it to the weekend! I hope yours is going well so far! San Diego finally got some sun (still cold!) but so nice to see our blue sky again. We snapped these pics at a Bar Mitzvah we recently attended for one of Kole’s close friends. We had such a good time! The ceremony was beautiful and the party after was so much fun.

We even had El with us for part of the time (she was home for Spring Break!). I never got a pic of Kole and his friends in their cute little suits. They were living their best lives! Ha. Addison has been planning school events and performing in two different plays (Rent and Mama Mia) so she has been so busy. I loved that El got to see her performances.. timing was in our  favor! Plus it just felt so good having her home for a week and hearing all 3 of my kids talking and laughing. Now that El isn’t living at home I completely understand why my mom gets so happy every time her kids are all together. There is nothing like it. :)

{natural wrap table lamps}

In other home news I found some cute lamps for Ad’s room! Love the rattan wrap and touch of gold and the cute shades.

This pic was from last year and not too much has changed. I got mostly done with this space and then couldn’t find lamps I loved (these are from our guest room) or anything for over her bed and then we got busy and my attention turned to other projects and I never finished her room!

{jovie woven floor mirror/cora side table}

I found the perfect floor mirror for her room (tent sale!) so I ordered it and then got motivated to finish her space! The cute little end table is for my bedroom. :)

I’ll take some updated pics when it’s done. Might be nice if I can finish it before she graduates from high school in a year.. ha.

{rattan plant stand/outdoor serving tray/black planter (on sale!)}

Two other recent favorites! I found these cute teak plant stands at Anthro and almost ordered them but kept looking and found this plant stand (that I like even more) for just $13! The outdoor serving tray is so beautiful, great quality and also a good price. Both so good!

1- eyelet dinner plates   2-brass candlesticks

3-flower nesting bowls   4- bunny bowl   5- medium black vase

Speaking of Anthro.. these are the items I did order! Many are on sale this weekend. I couldn’t resist the cute white eyelet plates. So excited to decorate my Easter table with them! (They come in dessert plates too!)

{1- eyelet crop top   2-skinny flare jeans}

25% off at Madewell this weekend and these jeans have amazing reviews! I’m excited to try them. The eyelet top comes in white too.. so cute for spring! The strange thing is that I can only see the white here at Nordstrom. The olive is mostly sold out there, but on sale here at Madewell. I wanted the olive so happy it’s on sale! Also speaking of Madewell favorites.. I haven’t taken a pic yet to share but for Christmas I got this leather overnight travel bag and LOVE it. It’s so beautiful and the perfect size for quick weekend trips. I’ve always been a huge fan of Madewell bags. The low key style and quality and size.. just my favorite. :)

1- wrap floral dress   2- short sleeve dress   3- rattan basket

4-bunny serving tray   5-slide sandal   6-large round serving tray

1-floor lamp   2- mango wood cheese board   3- serving bowl

4-azam mirror   5- throw   6 –pleat vase

Love these all so much. I have the serving boards (as you know!) and they are my most used pair. I have the serving bowl too and use it all the time. The throw is gorgeous for spring and comes in lots of colors!

1-comforter & shams set   2- large round serving tray

3- round serving board   4- arch mirror   5- celine throw

More Nordstrom Home favorites in my home! I don’t have the mirrors (but almost identical in my bedroom). The other items are long time favorites! I just pulled this celine throw out too and it’s so beautiful for spring. It also comes in other colors.

1- strappy slide sandal   2- cutout sandal   3- braided sandal

4-buckle slide sandal   5- quincy sandal

6-lucca slide sandal   7- ankle strap sandal   8- deacon sandal

If you’re looking for cute sandals at a lower price point check out Target! They have so many cute options! Almost identical to some of the Nordstrom sandals.

So many cute items! I tend to gravitate towards neutrals (or green!) but who can resist all of the fun, bright colors when it’s spring!? Such a happy season. Hang in there if it’s still cold where you live!

Sunny days are coming.

:)

*affiliate links used – carrot vase and Easter Ideas

I hope you’re having a good week so far! It’s going by so quickly. We’ve had a lot going on with the kids and a lot of rain. I’m so excited for sunny, warm days! I’m also excited for Sprig Break and Easter. Hopefully they will both be accompanied by sunny, warm days. :)

You might remember in the Fall when I experimented with using mini pumpkins as a vase filler. I loved the way it turned out and it was such fun seasonal decor that I decided to try something similar for Easter. Instead of pumpkins I used carrots! I present to you.. my carrot vase. :) Kind of cute, right? Or is it just weird? Ha ha. My kids thought it was a little weird but I’m a fan. :)

It took TWO minutes to put this together. Probably why I love it so much! I arranged my flowers in the center of this glass vase and then just dumped a few bags of mini carrots around the stems. The carrots slid in so easily! Then when I got to the top of the vase I just set a few individual carrots inside to fill all the way to the top of the vase. Then add your water! What’s up, Doc? Easy and done.

{glass vase/set of two woven trays/small marble bunny/similar wood bunny/small sage green vase/tulips – pack of 20}

I set it on my island as a cute little arrangement with my tulips (of course I did). Love this for Easter decor! It would also be fun as a centerpiece for an Easter table for dinner. Another idea is using several small vases in the middle of the table with carrots and flowers. Any flowers obviously work, but adding some orange is especially fun. :) I made this last week because I wanted to see how long it lasted. It looked beautiful for about 5 days and then it was time to change the water. I just dumped the carrots out then because I wasn’t sure if they would last longer, but I think they would have (they looked fine!). It would just take some work emptying the carrots and setting them aside so you could dump the water and then fill the carrots back in around the flower stems again.

Ideas like this with real items/food are better for short term decorating, but such a simple and inexpensive way to add some fun to your Easter table/decor!

{white porcelain serving platters}

Speaking of carrots. :) Here are a few other fun ideas for Easter I’ve shared in the past! I can’t wait to make this again. Just like the carrot vase it takes no time and is so cute. Below are a few other fun ways to serve food and snacks for Spring/Easter get togethers.

{white porcelain serving platters}

{simple 4-piece serving set}

Easter candy is my favorite and never lasts long around here. Give me a Cadbury Egg and some Chicks, Ducks & Bunnies and I’m set for breakfast lunch and dinner. Oh don’t forget a Coke Zero! A little sad but true. :)

{similar cheese board}

Remember this fun bunny platter? My kids loved this one. Definitely going to have to make it again this year!

{floral food server }

{kora vase}

Another fun and easy Easter idea is hanging eggs from tall faux flowers. I’ve done this for years and makes such a beautiful display!

Another easy table centerpiece idea.

{wool jute rug/dining room mirrors/olive tree/basket}

This was my Easter table decor last year.

{olive branches/white vase}

{similar sitting bunny/similar standing bunny}

These two always make an appearance somewhere. :)

{woven serving basket/frida vase/real touch white tulip/small marble bunny/similar wood bunny}

How is your week going!? It is pretty dreary in CA right now with all of this rain. Can you be grateful for something and hate it at the same time? Ha. I’m sure many of you are tired of cold and gloomy weather too and ready for sunshine! I have been doing a little spring decorating here and there and while I don’t have one room that’s totally finished yet, these small pops of spring are definitely improving my mood! It all started with a few black trays and tulips.

{extra long woven basket tray/preserved moss (similar options here & here/eggs here/here/here/similar wooden bunny here & here/puff sleeve floral top/mother roller wide leg jeans/similar necklace/similar sandals/black hanover pendants}

Then I pulled out the speckled eggs and wood bunnies (no going back now).

{roll arm couch}

Then I added a few new pillows in the rotation. (Sorry for the cell phone pics with bad lighting!)

{blocked woven pillow/patchwork pillow}

Nothing says spring like a good floral print. :)

{woven block print pillow/euro decorative pillow/windowpane pillow/stripe pattern pillow}

This large green euro pillow is about to be replaced with this windowpane pillow that’s coming. It sold out and I’ve been watching for it to come back in stock!

{textural woven throw pillow/pink throw blanket/wool jute rug}

{82″ artificial olive tree/iron planter with stand}

I ordered this cute olive tree a while back because I wanted something skinny for this spot.  Then I bought this planter to elevate it, but I’m going to make the tree even higher by stacking it inside of the pot too. On the to-do list for next week.

I love this skinny tree! It’s very realistic and perfect for any cozy corner.

{celia tray here & here/Simplicity/AD at 100/abstract gold link/ceramic vase/horizontal landscape canvas/small rounded box/large rounded box}

I’m slowly bringing in sage green and soft pinks. It’s working well with black decor I already had up for winter. Love these rounded sage boxes too!

{ivory leather storage boxes/fern leaf in pot/tappered jar/display easel}

{eileen coffee table/brass lanterns/flameless candles/brass arched mantel mirror/soapstone link/down to earth/made for living/live beautiful/patina farm}

{mix of pink peonies (these & these)/black terracotta planter/hatch object/handwoven serving tray}

I pulled my pink peonies out which is always a mood booster! Then I ordered this black planter for them and the size is perfect. This handwoven tray you’ve seen rotate all around my house for years is on sale right now for just $24! So good.

{woven diamond throw pillow/woven plaid throw pillow}

{Santorini Urn/similar faux cherry blossoms/large oval leather tray/wood chain link/Dreary Abstract Landscape Canvas/gold candle holders/battery operated candles}

I decorated my console table the same as I had it last spring (still in love with this canvas!).

{large oval leather tray/wood chain link}

But I did swap the bowl I originally had here for this pretty sage leather tray. I love the way the green tray pulls out greens in the art.

{gold candle holders/battery operated candles}

These gold candle holders are so beautiful and a great price. Perfect size for my long time favorite battery operated candles. :)

{aged iron bowl/similar black board here & here}/eggs here/here/here}

I added some Easter eggs in the kitchen. Because why not?

{woven seagrass window tray}

{similar black pitcher/seagrass pitcher/large mango wood cheese board/marble & wood serving board/platters & boards/savor/minka textured pot/dinnerware/marble top servers/wood bunny serving board/similar scallop dishes/similar cake stand}

Then I added a wooden bunny to my shelves.

{wood bunny serving board}

He’s cute on my shelf and cute serving crackers and cheese!

These two needed a friend.

It might be gloomy and rainy outside, but some early spring decorating definitely brought a little sunshine inside.

I’ll take it.

*affiliate links used – Easter decor tray

{extra long woven basket tray}

Want to add some Easter decor to your home without going over the top? Not that anything is wrong with over the top. :) I’m sharing a fun Easter decor tray today that will help bring some sunshine and spring into your home! I recently bought this beautiful woven tray and was so excited to decorate with it for spring! I ordered it on-line and loved it even more when it arrived in person. It sat on my table and for a week with me thinking about what I wanted to do with it. The possibilities are endless! So many fun options were swirling through my head.

I decided that for now I wanted to use it to bring some seasonal decor into my home so I filled it with this preserved moss (similar options here & here).

{woven circle tray/eggs here/here/here/similar wooden bunny here & here – more options are at the bottom of this post!}

Then I pulled out my basket of eggs and my wooden Easter bunnies.

I added my bunnies in the middle and sprinkled some eggs around them and done!

Easy and stylish Easter decor. I tried adding faux flowers and a few other things but I just kept coming back to this look. Simple always wins for me! Less visual clutter and I like to see the greenery.

{puff sleeve floral top/mother roller wide leg jeans/similar necklace/similar sandals/black hanover pendants}

Do the pose and jeans look familiar? :) Easy way to share both the decor and this cute new spring top I’m loving! Jeans have been on repeat for a week.

{Amarolo Narrow Console Table}

Remember this pretty narrow console table I put behind my couch last summer?

I have loved having it as a place to set drinks and snacks at night and also as another fun spot in this space to decorate and add some personality!

It’s the perfect spot for my Easter decor tray. :) Really this tray would look cute on any table and it would make a perfect centerpiece for Easter dinner!

Bunnies approve of this message.

Below are some other fun options for bunnies and speckled eggs!

1-wood easter bunny   2-lying easter bunny   3-woven sitting bunny   4-handcrafted standing bunny

5-sitting bunny   6-lying handcrafted bunny   7- wood sitting bunny   8-wood standing bunny

1-marble eggs   2-blue speckled eggs   3-pastel green eggs

4-egg set   5- yellow and green eggs   6-pastel speckled eggs

7-natural speckled eggs   8-faux blue eggs

Thank you for all of the sweet birthday wishes over the weekend!

I felt very loved and have fun things scheduled all week with friends to prolong the celebration.

I’m tricky like that. :)

Kenny’s gift this year was a winner.

Coupons that were branded with a lovely photo of him and redeemable for all sorts of things like one day of listening to a podcast about feelings, kitchen clean-up with no complaints, one set of blog services, watching one horrible Netflix series that we’ve seen 100 times (I get decision fatigue at night and prefer to watch the same things over and over while I work..ha), one argument concession even if he’s right (he’s never right), one day of excessive compliments, one week of no nicknames (the teasing never ends), and the last coupon said it was good for whatever I want! My mind immediately went to decor.. a new console table for the entry!? A new light fixture for the living room!? But then I started to think BIGGER.

What about 1,000 more of each of these coupons duplicated?

I’m tricky like that.

{cassidy denim jumpsuit/initial pendant necklace/similar ankle strap sandal}

Happy Saturday! 3 things! 1 – I’ve got a GOOD but quick round-up of some weekend favorites and sales for you. 2 – I’m wearing a jumpsuit in this pic and still trying to decide if it’s the cutest outfit ever or a complete disaster. And 3 – it’s March 11th and I’m 46 years old today. 46! I really don’t know how that’s possible since I was just turning 19 about 20 minutes ago, but I have to say that I’m ok with it. I might not feel ok about it at 50 (let’s re-evaluate then because it feels like 50 might be a hard one!), but 46? All good. Honestly I have loved my 40’s! This past year has been a little harder with Ellie moving out and talking all things college with Addison knowing that she’s next. Some days I let it get to me and just feel sad. I can feel the tide turning and the change coming that is life after all of my kids move out. But I heard the phrase somewhere the other day “the best is yet to come” and I decided that is going to be my new mantra. The best is yet to come. No more looking back and feeling sad that certain times or phases of life are coming to an end. There is SO MUCH to look forward to. What exactly am I looking forward to? I don’t totally know yet. Ha. But the best is yet to come so I’m going to be excited for it.

Also I think I love the jumpsuit. :)

JUMPSUIT OPTIONS:

Really I’m just so grateful for these 4 loves of my life along with all of my other family, good friends and all of YOU. Feeling very blessed this year and excited to spend the weekend celebrating!

{tondo rectangle serving board/woven serving basket/frida vase/real touch white tulip/small marble bunny/similar wood bunny}

{small sage green vase/small tulips – pack of 20}

Ok.. back to our regularly scheduled program. :) This is a quick round-up because I’ve been working on some fun posts for next week! Really feeling all things SPRING around here! Before my sale/favorites round-up I wanted to share another fun tulip option! The tulips on the left I’ve shared before. They are stunning and so realistic. I’m also in love with the less expensive tulips on the right! They are smaller and the stems are a brighter green. Also so good! They are incredibly soft to touch and easy to bend and manipulate so you can make them look very realistic too. Perfect for this cute sage green vase! I love it so much I bought two! One for my living groom and one for the nightstand in my bedroom. You can’t beat the price on the small tulips either. I have one pack of 20 in this vase for just $20! Score.

1- purple tulips   2-coral tulips

3-yellow tulips   4- white tulips

They come in other colors too! I’ve shared these before in this collage, but wanted to show a pic of them in person. So good.

1-small white vase   2-green vase   3- carved vase

4-round vase   5- small textured vase   6-small terracotta vase

Other small vase options that would work great with the Amazon tulips. :)

1-pillowcase set   2-textured comforter   3-quilt sham   4-euro throw pillow

5- waffle weave comforter   6-oversized bed throw   7- stripe pillow

8-gingham pillow   9- sheet set   10-oversized throw   11-flannel quilt

Since we’re talking Target I wanted to mention a sale going on just through Saturday. ALL bedding is 20% off! I think bathroom rugs and towels are too. I’m so ready to give my bedroom a spring re-fresh! It’s still decked in forest green from the holidays. I’ll definitely be checking out this sale before it ends. This pretty throw is my inspiration piece! Clearly I’m not straying too far from the green family. ;)

1-bunny bowl   2-  flower nesting bowls

CUTEST stuff popping up in Anthro for spring! I’ve had this bunny and these flower bowls in my cart for a week now! I’m actually glad I waited because LTK is doing a sale this weekend. If you want 20% off all of this cute Anthro stuff (and lots of other favorites I’ve mentioned before!) head to over to my LTK shop in the app. To get the 20% off you have to shop on your phone through the LTK app using my code it will give you.

These are my favorites from PB that are on sale this weekend! I have and love most of these items.

1-rafia tray   2- wood cheese board

3-chunky handwoven rug   4-handwoven serving tray

Such good prices on these favorites! The rug is a slightly different version of the rug I have in my family room. Looks so beautiful!

1- top handle rattan bag   2- straw tote   3- island key backpack

4-straw handbag   5-straw clutch   6- beach tote

7- straw shoulder bag   8- woven straw tote   9- straw basket bag

I love picking up a new straw bag for the spring/summer! These are my favorites I’ve seen so far. Perfect for trips, pool time, beach time and every day running around.

1- moxie rug   2-augustine rug   3- callahan rug

4- bullock rug   5-nash rug   6-ahern rug

Signing off with some fun indoor/outdoor rug options! I need to decorate my front porch but it has been too cold and raining non-stop! As soon as I see the sun again I need to do some serious sweeping and decorating.

It’s supposed to rain tomorrow though so I think I’ll stay warm inside by the fire and eat cake instead.

I was right. The best IS yet to come.

;)

{mother roller wide leg jeans/puff sleeve sweater/similar open toe booties here & here}/woven tray/easter egg options/black hanover pendants}

It’s a new week! Let’s make it a good one and kick things off with a little spring decor. Who’s ready!? I know I am. Easter eggs are out (cute egg options here!) and I am so ready for sunshine and spring! My kitchen looks clean, but don’t be deceived. I took these pics on a cloudy day while my decor closet was half way organized and there were random items up and down my hallways and flooding my entry, office and dining room. My kitchen was the ONLY clean spot in my house. Just wanted to keep it real. Organized closet is hopefully coming soon. :) (On an unrelated side note.. how cute are these jeans!? An early birthday splurge. They are so cute and flattering if you need a new pair!)

{drifter black wood round board/tondo lazy susan/tondo round serving board/tondo rectangle serving board/similar black board with round handle here & here}

Let’s chat about adding black to your spring decor. I’ve been adding more black into my decor this past year and I have to say that I am LOVING it. Have you ever noticed how black just sort of grounds your space? It makes a statement and adds some depth and drama to any room. It’s so easy to bring a little black into your decorating if you haven’t already and want to start! Accessories are a great way to slowly add black and see how it changes the look and feel of your space. These are 4 black kitchen trays I’m loving that you’ll see popping up in my spring decorating this year. They are perfect for decor and serving food if you are entertaining!

{drifter black wood round board/tondo lazy susan}

This drifter board is so cool. It has some color variation (a charred look) and isn’t completely flat. You can still set items on it but it has just enough movement to give it texture. It would be great in the kitchen but also on a coffee, entry, or dining table. You can never go wrong with a good lazy susan! I use my marble lazy susan every day so I’m excited to have a black option too!

{tondo round serving board}

Fun pizza paddle board!

{tondo rectangle serving board/similar black board with round handle here & here}

The rectangle boards are my favorite. I bought the large board in my hometown at a fun decor store so I linked similar options. I love the size but it always felt a little too big for my kitchen island so I ordered this tondo board that is just a little shorter and wider and it’s perfect!

Just the right size to hold a fun little spring arrangement. :)

{woven serving basket/frida vase/real touch white tulip/small marble bunny/similar wood bunny}

I moved my tulips over from the dining room table and added this fun serving basket with lemons. LOVE a bowl of lemons this time of year! That pop of yellow just makes everything happy.

Also how cute is this little marble bunny!? He would look great on top of a stack of books styled on a shelf too. There are some things in life I just can’t pass up. A spring bowl of lemons and a marble bunny would definitely make that list. :)  (Here are some other fun bunny options I’ve seen popping up in stores!)

This is the same arrangement styled on the round drifter board.

And here it is on the tondo lazy susan. Just wanted to share a few fun options!

Add some black to your decor with all the fun spring colors this year!

Or don’t. :) Do whatever you want in your house. That’s the best part about decorating isn’t it!? Life can be heavy but decorating is FUN. Style your house in a way that makes you happy.

But adding some black, a bowl full of lemons and a mini marble bunny can’t hurt.

;)

Happy Sunday! I hope you are enjoying the weekend! It has been a little busy for us with the usual weekend activities plus Kenny had back surgery Thursday and is in recovery mode. It was a minor surgery and he is doing great! But I’ve definitely been a little distracted. The hardest part with my husband when it comes to stuff like this is keeping him from heading to the gym thinking he’s 100% on day two. He does not like to slow down! Lucky for him he has me here to monitor his every move. ;)

I have a fun round-up of favorites today and more fun things coming this week! I started decorating for spring! Have you started yet? Pulling apart my decor closet inspired a little re-fresh and it has been fun organizing my decor items and decorating on the side as I go! I ordered the beautiful tree above to go on my porch – two of them actually! They are stunning and so realistic. I’m excited to put away the winter trees and add some life to my porch. Now we just need the sunshine! It has been so cold lately!

{rib crop turtleneck/vintage wide leg jeans/similar rag & bone sneaker}

If you missed my last fashion post it’s full of favorites I’ve been wearing lately! I have definitely had my warmest sweaters on repeat.

{we the free perfect tee/colette cropped wide leg pants/large belt bag/similar open toe booties/chain bracelet set}

These cropped pants are going to be spring staples for me as soon as it warms up around here. You can see all of the other clothes I’m loving here!

I thought it would be fun at the end of each month to share the things YOU are loving the most from the blog. These are your February favorites! You all have great taste. ;)

These are fun items I ordered from Amazon in February! I already shared the cute lightweight joggers. The screen cleaner, mascara, hair finishing stick, drawer dividers and museum putty (to hold things like organizers in place) are staples I order and then re-order often. I’m excited to try the boot shapers! I’ll share a pic of how they look/work soon. I’m hoping to go through all of my shoes this week. I need to donate a few pairs and get them straightened. The rain has been endless although I’m not complaining.. we need it! We just also needed another umbrella. :) The hook hangers are going to be just what I need to hold my purse in my car and these pretty branches will be perfect for a small vase. Addison needed a few new hangers and that wraps up our Amazon buys for February! All good things.

He’s lucky I love him. :)

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Well hello! Long time no post. :) Crickets have been chirping on the blog lately because the stomach flu hit our house. NOT good! First Addison, then me, then as soon as I was starting to feel better Kenny got sick. I’m not going to lie.. it was rough. Ha. Kole is the last man standing. Fingers crossed we are out of the woods and he doesn’t get sick! We’ve all had enough saltine crackers and Pedialyte to last a life time. Last year I got food poisoning over President’s Day weekend and landed in the ER so clearly the long February weekend is not my friend! I’m hoping you had a better week!

Our house was basically a disaster while we were sick so Friday I spent some time putting it all back together. I snapped these pics quickly with my cell phone after because it was the most productive thing I had done in a while and it felt so good. Clearly I haven’t been out much lately! So here are some bad lighting cell pics to say hey.. the house is picked up and I’m back. :)

I don’t think I ever shared how I styled things after the holidays and wasn’t planning on it since I’m going to change things up soon for spring, but here we are. I’ll leave some of these pillows up and add a few florals. Things are looking a little “fallish” with all neutrals right now so I’m excited to bring in some color!

{block woven square pillow/reed striped lumbar pillow}

I’m loving this large block woven square pillow! It’s not the softest to lay on, but I love the texture and pattern. Every other pillow is soft so we’re more than set on pillows to lay on. :) The reed striped lumbar is a long time favorite and comes in other colors.

{linen textured pillow/striped square throw pillow}

These linen textured pillows are so beautiful and come in lots of colors. I’ve shared them before and have them in pink too! Great neutrals to toss in with any patterns. Time to put my winter tree pillow away!

I’m excited to share some organizing progress I’ve made here and there along with a few organizers from Wayfair I’ve been loving lately!

Over the past few years I’ve added more dishes to my collection, and when I was going through my kitchen during “kitchen week” of our organizing challenge, I knew I needed to figure out a solution for how to store them. I wanted to keep them all in the same cupboard but I was running out of room. I looked on line at Wayfair (they have so many great organizing solutions I’ve used throughout my home over the years!) and landed on these cabinet shelf helpers.

I’m obsessed! They have been a perfect solution.

They are sturdy, they look great, and they add an extra level of storage. I had most of these dishes stacked high on top of each other before, but aside from running out of room it was difficult for Kole to get plates out. Not a problem anymore!

I loved them so much, I ordered more and added these white shelf helpers to the cupboard that holds our drinking glasses. They are a perfect fit with this slender cupboard and added so much vertical storage!

I basically added two extra shelves. So nice when you’re short on space! Now I want to put these in every cupboard in my kitchen.

I did a quick clean out of the cupboards and drawers in my butler’s pantry and styled the shelves. That always feels good!

This wood-top stackable kitchen rack is another great option. I’ve had a few of these for years and have been using one on Kole’s bathroom counter for extra storage. I love the look of it, so aside from using it inside of pantries or cupboards, it also works well on a countertop to help free up space. I’m using it to hold a few smaller items in this cupboard at the moment. I got rid of everything I wasn’t using in these cupboards and it feels so good to have less!

This adjustable lid holder from Wayfair is another long time favorite! I’ve loved storing my pan lids in this cupboard. I only use them once in a while and it frees up so much space for my pots and pans.

My pantry is one spot I stay on top of, but I took 20 minutes to check expiration dates, toss a few older items, and straighten out some of the serving items I store here.

You all know I love OXO storage containers for food, and Wayfair has a huge selection of sizes. I’ve ordered several on line from Wayfair throughout the years to hold more food or replace older containers. They are hands down my #1 pantry staple!

I also love this turntable with adjustable dividers! You could use it in a bathroom also, but I’ve been using it in my pantry to hold oils and sticky items that I don’t like to store in my baskets.

It’s large and a little more heavy duty than most turntables and perfect for a pantry or for under a kitchen or bathroom sink.

When the pantry and fridge are clean and organized, it makes a huge difference for me mentally! Those are two spots I work hard to keep clean, and good organizers really help. So does having a husband and kids who put things away where they go. After years of nagging, I think we are (for the most part) there. In those two spots anyway!

Let’s not get too excited. Ha.

Last but not least, these are long time favorite baskets from Wayfair that I love for organizing! They are a perfect size (tall but not too tall!) to use inside of closets and cupboards for storage. I have these baskets in my master closet.

I have these baskets in my girls’ closets and in a few bathrooms. I also love the handles on all of these baskets because they are perfect to hold a label clip!

You’ll be seeing more of both of these baskets in future posts. :)

Those are a few organizers I’ve been loving lately and below I rounded up even more organizers I love from Wayfair. They are all so good! Want to know the real secret to getting organized?

Pair each of these items I’ve shared today with a little bit of consistent nagging and you will be set for life.
