Store it: The 7 best kitchen cabinet space-savers
Cabinet space-savers group like items together so they are easy to see and reach, and they can also make it easier to visualize the contents of your cabinets at the same time.

Store it: Storage solutions for every room
Once you have the basics of storage down, we can go through your home and office spaces and start applying those basics room-by-room--or if you live in a tiny apartment like me, space-by-space or zone-by-zone. I have many multi-use spaces in my home, so storage solutions are extra important to me. Storage is a topic really close to my heart (very romantic, I know!).
As frequent readers of this site and blog know, and as I explain in this new Guide, I like to attack a challenge from a few different angles, so to compliment the Home Storage Guide, you can also peruse How to Store Everything and Storage 101.

Store It: How to store pots + pans
Pot and pan storage is the worst (followed closely by small appliances) when it comes to kitchen storage and organization. Pots (and pans) are just so heavy and awkward with their handles and tops being crazy, mis-matched sizes. My best advice is to cut down on the number of pots and pans you use. Then, read about how to store them in How to Store Everything (page 2), as well as other hard-to-store products like baseball hats (page 1), wine (page 3) and old photos (page 2).

Organize It: How to Organize a Closet
Sometimes I forget that people reading this site haven't been reading it as long as I have, which means I often forget some of the oldie-but-goodie How To Guides I worte in the very, very beginning. How to Organize a Closet is one such guide, and I just went through and spruced it up a bit. If you're a new reader, this How To will take you step-by-step through the closet organization process (read: declutter, sort, donate, store, maintain). Longtime readers will find some new ideas and resources, too.

Store it: Home storage guide
New on the site this week is a soup-to-nuts storage guide with resources you can apply to any room or space in your home. I'd like to especially highlight the How to Store Everything Guide, which goes through items in your home A-Z, and is updated quite regularly. If you have a particularly useful way you store something, add it to the Organizing Tips section and it may just pop up in this guide.
But back to storage: It really is, to borrow an over-used phrase from race car driving, where the rubber meets the road. Once you've decluttered and purged and cleaned, finding the right storage solutions is the next very important step in keeping your home organized.
