HOW TO ORGANIZE SMALL TOYS

For Christmas, I got my nephew a Snap Circuit Jr.  It is a pretty cool toy that lets the little one conduct electricity based experiments.  It is recommended by The National Parenting Center-Seal of Approval, Dr. Toy 100 Best Children's Products and Dr. Toy Best Educational Products.  Really amazing toy for only $25.  The thing about this toy is that each piece is labeled and each piece is equally important than the other piece.  Translation: You can't lose a piece. Initially, we put the little pieces in a bin, but that didn't work since it meant picking out each piece manually to see the label and it was a bit much of work.

SEWING KIT ORGANIZER

I love this Dumpling Place in Midtown Manhattan named Rickshaw.  I always eat there whenever I'm in the area.  They have these tiny containers that holds the sauces and I took some home and re-purposed them for my sewing kit. They're perfect in holding buttons, pins and little bits and pieces.

UPHOLSTERED STOOLS

Today, I decided to do a simple DIY project.  I have two of these leather bar stools for my kitchen.  It has a very simple design and it's very modern.  I got it when I moved to my apartment 2 years ago, but now I feel its too hard and cold!

ENTRYWAY SOLUTION

I have clutter issues. My husband doesn't. We live in a small 490 square feet apartment in NY and space is a problem.  Our space does not allow us to have a console table since we don't really have an entry way or a hall.  So, my husband developed the habit of emptying all his pocket contents on the only side table we have and I hate it because he dumps everything there!

SPRING CLEANING THE CLOSET

I just finished spring cleaning my closet (yes only now! arghh).  It is already June and all but the weather here in NY seems to take its own course and chooses to fluctuate every single day so it wasn't until this weekend that I decided to really go through my closet.
