It's all lovely! Thanks for sharing all your great ideas and I'm looking forward to the 'new' room reveal! Living in a very small rental for a little while and space is an issue. I had some of those wire baskets from the Container store. My sheets are in them, under the bed.

Love your post today and the open shelves. I do the same type of storage, use a baby dresser for storage and and tv stand as buffet the bottom has glass doors and I store my table top items for the seasons in there.

P. S. I would love to have a 2,000 sq. ft. house to get organized in! Mine is about 1100 sq. ft. Walk-in closets–are you kidding?? My bedrooms are the size of a somewhat spacious walk-in closet. You can imagine how big the actual closets are, right? End of rant. I'd probably have twice as much stuff if I lived in a 2000 sq.ft. house instead of an 1,100 sq. ft. one, right?

Here's what I have trouble storing: extra sheets, blankets and quilts and bathroom items like extra toothpaste and cotton balls, and dental floss and epson salts, etc., etc. My bathroom is small and has pretty good under-sink cabinet storage, but never enough room for towels. And my bathroom has no place for an armoire or even a small table. I have taken one whole shelf in my bedroom closet for extra sheets, but it's higher than I can reach so not terribly convenient. When I look at your lovely open shelves I think, "But she doesn't HAVE much!" Yikes! And my dishes would never look that pretty on open shelves in the kitchen unless I got rid of half of them, which I can't do because I use them all!

Am I hopeless or what? Do I need to build on to the house? Anyway, do you think I'm just resistant to change? Or possibly a negative person?? Maybe just very disorganized! But that's because I don't have room to organize anything! Any suggestions besides "get rid of half that stuff, Mom!" (daughter)

I live with my family in a small 2,000 sq. ft. 1950's California Ranch style home. No walk in closets or kitchen pantries here. Lack of storage space has always been a big challenge living in this home. I'm always editing what we have to make things fit. One good decision I made a long time ago was to live with only the pieces I loved but they had to be functional and fit the space too! Once I zeroed in on my style, I've been very careful to only buy furniture that provides storage, like an entry table that has doors, side tables with drawers, coffee table with drawers, china cabinets or armoires. It's been tricky but I've learned to use the space I have more efficiently, and to me, in a more purposeful and beautiful way.
