Organizing your Dresser

Andrea's method of folding from Simple Organized Living, and the Pinspiration for this post

My daughter tells me everyday that her room is clean.  Clean??...that's a little bit of an exaggeration if I ever heard one.  My idea of clean and her idea of clean are definitely NOT the same.  I consider clean to be tidy, dusted, vacuumed, bed made, etc.  Her idea of clean, as long as I can see the whole floor and she can run a vacuum we're good.  Since school is starting soon, I thought I should get a go at her drawers and figure out what fits and what doesn't.  A spring cleaning of sorts but in the summer.  I firmly believe if you are going to buy new items to go into your home, you must get rid of the same amount of old, if not more.  There are a few exceptions, but this is generally the case.  I came across this Pin on Pinterest and was Pinspired to fix my daughters drawers.  It comes from Simply Organized Living.  Andrea from over at SOLiving is living her dream by organizing for a living and blogging about it...how wonderful for her to live her dream!  Even more wonderful is that she shares her how to's on her blog/vlog for all of us to learn and use....Thank you Andrea!!!


Here is what I found when I opened my daughter's pajama drawer.  Here is our before:

Folded, but really squished in there and hard to find what you want to wear

Yes, it is mid summer here at home, but my daughter still wears her winter pajamas.  (Someone please tell my husband he can make it less frigid in our home, my electric bill will thank you)  Pajamas take up a lot of space.

And our after:

Nice, neat and easy to find what you want to wear.  We even matched bottoms to tops across from each other!

I didn't get a before for the T-shirts, let's just say they were not neat and organized.  Here is the after though:

Beautifully organized, we love it!  Thanks Andrea!!!

My daughter says she likes "this way very much because I can see all of my shirts and I don't have to dig in them to find the one I want."

Let's see how long this will last.  

Yup, that's Pinteresting!
