Very cool!<br /><br />I am definitely a person who has to be constantly vigilant with my organization. Not natural, not a hoarder, really bugged by the mess, but always fighting it. <br /><br />Thanks for the inspiration (and the tips)!<br /><br />~Angela~Angela @ Cottage Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08434781404304589991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7274017083888923216.post-24389434221079670512011-01-17T06:03:43.224-08:002011-01-17T06:03:43.224-08:00All I have to say is "yep, me too!"All I have to say is "yep, me too!"Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08771481228147251991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7274017083888923216.post-37288794339038414802011-01-16T20:52:23.698-08:002011-01-16T20:52:23.698-08:00You and I are kindred spirits in this way.

I have been reworking my whole basement to be a user friendly work environment, but it is a lot of work. The state things were in, was beyond out of control and headed for Hoarders. With the help of Ikea organization, and some innovation it is coming together finally. I still have some more piles to tackle and am tempted to just give the rest away. So glad to know I am not alone!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07765626904389968354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7274017083888923216.post-7208505575157768602011-01-16T20:48:11.146-08:002011-01-16T20:48:11.146-08:00Thanks for sharing Walsh's organizing tips.

Yet things are constantly going from organized to messy to out of control. <br /><br />I cringed when I read "flat surfaces should be clear." But where do you put your PILES then??? I heart piles. <br /><br />I also heart my massive attic and trash bin.

I am struggling to keep up with my quilting obsession and two little kids as well. It is a tough balance to stay on top of everything. At the moment I am working on getting back to having everything in it's place but a major purge must happen! Have you caught Peter's new show on OWN yet?
