Home Organization Specialist
I was invited once again to be the home organization specialist on KSL Television’s Studio 5 TV Show. The 8 minute show segment focused on the following:
- Items that can be tossed in the kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, family room, and home office of every home.
- How to best organize these rooms with tricks and tools used by trained professional home organizers. (BTW: the products I showcased can be found at your local Bed, Bath and Beyond store.)
As I closed the show I offered a free printable of which you can easily take advantage.

♦ Our printable list of 15 Items To Toss Out Today.
♦ We had 98 entries in our random drawing for two Bed, Bath and Beyond $50 gift cards. On Wednesday, May 13th, my neighbor, Patti Smart, stuck her hand into a large kitchen bowel and pulled out the names of two lucky winners:
- Jenny Hansen Weston of Salt Lake City, UT won by liking us on Facebook.
- Malinda Biesinger of Santa Monica, CA won by entering a comment below.
Congratulations to both Jenny and Malinda!
I have downsized the 60 comments we had on this article post. I left those that might be helpful to you as you continue reading.

I plan/need to purge my office as an adjunct instructor I keep old handouts. I need to purge and let go of them and only keep the digital version.

Living room, I have piles of papers that need to be looked through and filed or shredded

My craft room area really needs some help! I have a lot of scraps of paper that I have saved “just in case I could use it one day.” I am going to start by throwing out any paper scrap that is smaller than about 5 inches.

I have begun working in my hallway linen closets, (there are 2 separate closets), as well as my office space right off the same hall way.
I am going to begin with the excess of sheets, unused bed skirts and pillowcases for both bed and decorative pillows.
Thank you so much! I enjoyed your segment on Studio 5 today brought more inspiration and encouragement to just “Let Go” of all the forgotten things cluttering up our physical and mental space!

My basement is out of control. First thing I’m tossing are the chairs that I was so sure I could DIY into something spectacular, but never had the time (nevermind the fact that I wouldn’t have space for the completed project)!!

Great ideas! Especially the getting rid of duplicate items. I have traveled to Europe numerous times & I can honestly say they don’t collect clutter like us! Americans hold on to many things they don’t need!

Kim. I have never traveled to Europe, but I agree with you…We Americans collect and store WAY more things than we need to function. Thanks for visiting. 🙂 Vicki

We Utahan’s love DIY projects. I’m pleased to hear that you have decided the “chairs project” is one you can let go. 🙂 Vicki

Alisha, I suggest that with paper purging you either: Toss, Shred, or File. I recommend trying to toss or shred at least 50% of the papers you process because statistically we know that we will only EVERY look at about 20% of what we file away for future reference. Glad you are tackling this important project. 🙂 Vicki

My office/craft room is what needs the most help. I plan to start separating out bills, receipts, warranties, etc into, as you say, “toss, shred, or file piles.”

I am going to go through my kitchen cupboards. I loved all your advice on Studio 5!

I liked you on Facebook! 🙂 my bathroom needs some serious decluttering! I an going to toss out all the lotions I never use and old makeup. To simplify, I will eliminate everything I don’t use and keep only the essentials

Thanks for the “15 Items to Toss Out Today”. It gives me a great place to start! Going to start with old bills in my purse and “filing drawer”.

Your ideas and suggestions are always so helpful. Thank you!!! I am excited to start working on the paper piles in my kitchen, and then move to my bedroom and so on…

Just bought one of your printable kits. Looking forward to using it. I have several areas of my home that need organizing, but probably first off is my home office/computer room/library/craft room. 🙂 Thanks for all you do — you’re awesome!

Could really use some help with pictures. Going to order your packet. Great tips.

I have started to go through my whole house, one room at a time. I started to purge scrapbook paper from my craft room to donate. My sewing room is next, do you know of anyone who accepts fabric as a donation? My worst area is my paperwork, love the tip about once it is paid to get rid of it! Will definitely use that tip! Thanks for a chance to win!

I have been doing this for a while, ever since I went to your class. It was awesome! I still need to do more in my bedroom, one of them by gifting things that I have been saving for gifts, but haven’t done so yet

I would love to start with my living room and nursery. I’m pregnant and bringing the babe into a small Los Angeles apartment. The space needs some real organization help.

Can’t wait to simplify & become a minimalist with your tips & expertise!
