How tidy is your living space?
If you’re anything like the average person, chances are you have a drawer or cupboard filled with mismatched items, from rubber bands to old business cards.
It’s a common scenario: many of us spend an entire day cleaning our homes, only to find them cluttered again a week later.
And let’s not forget those among us who find it hard to part with items, contributing to a bit of a hoarding issue.
This scenario, I believe, is quite familiar to a majority of Americans.
Achieving the status of ‘America’s Most Organized Home’ is no small achievement.
For the neat freaks among us, or those simply looking to improve their organizational skills, this home is a dream come true.
The video tour of this house is a testament to how a tidy, organized space can be achieved with less effort than one might think.
Meet Alejandra Costello, a Certified Professional Organizer, who shares her expertise on her YouTube channel and through webinars, teaching people how to organize not just their living spaces but their lives as well.
Despite living in a modestly-sized condo, Alejandra demonstrates how a few simple organizational techniques can make any home feel spacious and welcoming.
Upon entering her cozy abode, Alejandra begins the tour with her kitchen, focusing on the pantry.
She showcases shelves organized with lazy susans, dry goods containers, and pull-out drawers, items not typically stored in a pantry.
“I love this pantry,” she declares, highlighting the endless possibilities within such a space.
To elevate her pantry’s organization, Alejandra incorporates labels, ensuring everything has its place.
This system is especially handy when replenishing stocks or when hosting guests, as it makes finding and replacing items a breeze.
She delves deeper into her pantry organization techniques in her video, sharing insights that transform a simple storage area into an organizational marvel.
Ever dealt with a silverware tray that slides to the back of the drawer?
Alejandra has a solution: a drawer divider that keeps everything in place.
This simple fix, along with other kitchen organization tips she shares, like maximizing cupboard space and decluttering the fridge door, showcases her knack for creating order in the most common areas of disarray.
Next, Alejandra takes us to her home office, which doubles as a craft space.
She expresses her dislike for clutter, especially loose papers.
By ensuring everything “has a home,” she keeps her office clutter-free, which she believes not only tidies the space but also boosts productivity.
Her office is a testament to the effectiveness of a good filing system.
The closet, often a battleground for organization, is another area Alejandra tackles with finesse.
In her small living space, the closet is crucial for storing clothes, shoes, and even jewelry.
By using pull-out drawers and clothing dividers, she maintains a neat and orderly closet, reminiscent of a well-organized retail store.
Alejandra doesn’t stop at the interior; she extends her organizational prowess to the linen closet and even outdoor spaces.
Repurposing items for storage, like using a hanging shoe organizer for makeup, and utilizing clear plastic containers for medicines and cleaning supplies, she demonstrates that every inch of space, if used wisely, can contribute to a clutter-free and organized home.
Her video tour, filled with dozens of practical tips, is not just a guide but an inspiration for anyone looking to declutter and organize their living space.
