As the new year approaches, many people make it their goal to get their homes in order. But this is easier said than done! Where do you start when you have accumulated so much stuff? Well, if that’s the case, here you go! Alejandra Costello is a certified personal organizer and has posted a tour of her apartment in Virginia on YouTube. Alejandra uses every inch of this small space. Let’s take a look.
Alejandro started by showing us the kitchen pantry. It’s certainly not your average pantry. She used lazy susans and pull-out baskets. She uses lazy susans and drawers to sort food by category, making each item very easy to find.
Alejandro’s kitchen is an oasis of organization, with dishes and utensils organized and stored in drawers. The cupboards are neatly organized and everything is stacked in place.
Naturally, Alejandro’s home office is an organized oasis. Materials are stored in clear containers, and pegboards hang ribbons and craft materials. Everything has a fixed location and each item is clearly labeled.
Alejandro’s bathroom is full of clever space-saving ideas, such as a shower curtain with built-in pockets for shampoo and other items. It also features a shoe cabinet above the door for storing cosmetics and toiletries.
