Some of Liz's tips to help the Mulfords get organized include the following:
- Store picture negatives in an airtight bag in a different place from photo albums, like a parent's basement. If anything happens to the photo album (fire, flood, etc.), the pictures can be reproduced.
- When sorting medicine, check for expiration dates and then sort by use: cold medicines, creams and ointments and bandages, for example.
- Think twice about hanging on to paperbacks. Once read, they are best donated or recycled to a used bookstore.
- Keep a clear bin in the kids' closets for outgrown clothes. Once the clothes have gone through the wash, instead of putting them away, just toss them in the bin.
- Carefully asses the clothes in dresser drawers for things that can go into long-term storage.
- Keep a "to-go" box of important papers (things like birth certificates, marriage license and insurance) that can be grabbed quickly in case of fire. The box can look like an attractive accessory. It should be kept in a convenient spot.
Liz brought in a few key pieces to help this couple get started cleaning up their clutter.
The tall dresser and bookcase have been replaced with this entertainment unit that hides cords and clutter.Gone is the massive desk and in its place is a smaller corner desk that hides components and has a place for supplies.
A built-in storage system will bring order to the closet and eliminate the need for a dresser in the bedroom.
