Organizing your Home

      A good friend of mine says that one of the top ten reasons to sell your home is when you have accumulated so much stuff that you simply can not find anything any longer. Now I am happy to help anyone sell their home Charlottesville. I am a REALTOR, it's what I do. But assuming you don't, and there are those who abhor the thought of moving with the same shivering her-bee-gee-bees that one feels when finding a large and hairy spider in the shower. So for those who are not looking to pack up and move and yet need help being organized, I offer the following.

     "The goal of being organized," declares Brenna Peyton, owner of One Organized Girl in Charlottesville, "is easy retrieval of stored items and easy clean up of your home in general. If your system is too complicated, it can be worse than having no system at all."

     Peyton goes on to lay out several golden rules for maintaining usable organization and retrievability including: 

     1. Keep it simple - the system and the type of storage should be easy to understand and flexible

     2. For garages, attics, sheds and any other place that people don't see, use sealable containers - if you don't want the space seen, you shouldn't see the stored items when you are in there. 

     3. Open box shelving can be used in spaces where you want people to be. Use of baskets can hide those things that you don't want easily seen while still providing an easy view when you need something.
