It's the new year and now's the time to reorganize or get organized. Clean out your closet - donate that top you haven't worn in over a year. Clean out your files - shred old documents. Donate books to your local library to clear out clutter from your bookshelf. Organize your junk drawer, you might find something that you misplaced months ago. You and your home will fill so much better after you do so; trust me!
I like to use mason jars for organizing around the house; I love them! I use them for multiple purposes: pencil holder, scissor holder, rubber bands holder, bath salts holder; you name it. I like to purchase mine from the Dollar Tree and I know you can get them in bulk at Costco or Smart & Final.
Here are some great organizing photos I found online
Leave a comment and share some of your organizing tips!

Cheers to a successful year of decorating, learning, and growing.
I'm so proud of what I was able to accomplish this year. Looking forward to new prospects in 2014.

This was a D.I.Y impulse project. For a very long time I used one of my tacky dining room chairs as the desk chair. I recently painted my desk (another D.I.Y project that I will post separately) and the one thing missing was its own chair. I went to a local thrift store and found this awesome wood chair for only $5.98! I loved the contemporary look and style. I painted the chair in a eggshell white and found a really nice navy and gold print fabric at JoAnn's fabric; another steal as I got 40% off on the fabric.
I sanded and painted the wood. I re-upholstered the seating thanks to my new handy dandy staple gun ( I love that thing!) I now have a nice chair to compliment the desk and complete the look of the space.
Before!
