I was recently invited by a producer at ABC 4 to appear as the organizing expert on the GOOD THINGS UTAH morning show. The TV segment objective was to help their viewers understand how to organize their homes in preparation for the upcoming winter months. I chose to focus on three areas of interest:

1. Groom the Garage
2. Swap-Out Clothing
3. Create an Organized Entry Closet

I promised the show’s viewers a list of the all products I used as winter organizing storage solutions on the show.  Every one of these great products came from my local LOWES store. Read on to watch the video and find the products I recommended with buying links for each.

4 Quick Tips to Keep a Bedroom Tidy Once It’s Organized

As you decluttered and then organized your child’s bedroom initially, you focused on less-is-more and understood that every item in your child’s room should have a designated home. You used bookshelves, clear containers, baskets, and under-the-bed storage bins to help your child understand that every item in their room had a GOOD designated landing place.

Today I was contacted by TLC’s Hoarding: Buried Alive TV production coordinator, Nicki Marko, to participate in an episode to be taped in Salt Lake City. She invited me to be the professional organizing expert on an upcoming episode focusing on three brothers living in the downtown Salt Lake City area. The show would provide me with 6 additional helpers whom I would train and supervise, but I would be THE organizer in charge. The show’s goal was for my crew to clear out and declutter the kitchen and the two bedrooms which had accumulated stuff piled 5 feet up. The rest of the home was in the same disrepair, but the show would focus on clearing only the kitchen and two bedrooms because two of the three brothers were currently sleeping on the kitchen floor.
