Merry Christmas to you and your family... I hope everyone had a fun-filled and safe holiday!
Back to biz over here. Although I LOVE Christmas the amount of stuff my family accumulates in one single day is both silly and sinful at the same time.
The days after a holiday and in particular Christmas has me asking how am I ever going to get back to neutral? It's a crazy disorganized mess over here. And I'll be honest I like my churches gothic, my wine red and my house somewhat organized.
So I thought maybe there are some others out there who feel the same way so I thought I'd gather a few stylish storage options out there for us who want to get it together before the new year hits us:)
And actually whether you celebrate Christmas or not the new year is a good time to get organized. Am I right?

Thanks for reading!! xoxo
GO EAGLES!!! AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL!!!
Hi Stephanie! You and I are kindred spirits -- my house has already been undecorated and Christmas stuff is put away. I'm busy trying to redesign our mudroom because I hate the way it looks and I need more storage! And, yes, I've used 1-800-Junk before. They are a little pricey. After that, I did some research on my local dump yard -- and the next time I needed to dump stuff, I did it myself. It's actually an eye-opener of disgusting waste and not a pretty place to go (don't go alone fyi!).
ReplyDeleteI have Expedit shelving all over my house. Seriously, it's an obsession. Love the stuff!
ReplyDeleteI think I've used 1-800-junk in the past but have had better luck going through Angie's List for good recommendations.
I'm with you on the whole purging thing, by the way. I'll need an 18 wheeler to haul away all the stuff in my house right now. It's crazy!
Happy New Year, friend!! :)
Love this post. Very inspiring with some great eye candy and ideas too! Happy New Year!
