Organize your guest room!

by Filed Under: Holiday, Organization

With Christmas coming this week, I wanted to share my favorite tips for preparing a guest room on a budget.  These are quick tips (all take minutes or seconds to prepare) with big impact.  Enjoy time with your family!

PRODUCTS MENTIONED:
Mattress Topper (very good deal right now!)
Luggage rack
Our new headboard

RECIPE FOR MUSTY TOWELS:
Sprinkle 1/3 cup of baking soda into drum/on towels
Add 1/2 cup of distilled white vinegar to fabric softener well (or during the rinse cycle if an older machine)
Wash on hot
The vinegar acts as a softener and the baking soda neutralizes odors.  It seems counterproductive, but many times towels smell because of soap build up in them.  You will LOVE how neutral they smell after this treatment.  Add essential oil to the load if you wish.

If you aren’t using under the bed storage for projects and in-flux work, what are you waiting for?!  These three containers are the best around for creating more space and keeping your LIVING space organized.

PRODUCT SOURCES:
Shoe organizer ($2), inventory changes frequently, usually between $2-5
Teal/black tote ($5): Five Below, in-store
Storage with wheels ($10), usually best found in-store, here is an online option.  It’s not the exact one I have but the price point is great!

We bought a new house! (and sold our house fast)

by Filed Under: Money Saving, Organization

We bought a new house similar to these Okanagan Valley Homes! In my New House and Moving series I’ll be sharing how we sold our home quickly (in just three days), tips for moving on a budget, how to move into a new home, and how to get organized quickly using systems that work with your family’s needs.

It’s usually very tricky for people to buy and sell houses so I know that a lot of you will be able to get a lot of help from our experience so that’s why I wanted to share it with you. It was a pretty stressful process but I love our new house. I had been looking at some houses for sale columbia il but we needed to find a house in a different location for a few different reasons. I finally found the perfect house in the perfect location and we decided to put an offer in! Luckily it got accepted!!!

Surprisingly, one of the most difficult parts of the process is actually arranging for a moving company to move our stuff out! High-quality moving companies like Big T Moving & Delivery are booked for months in advance so it can be tricky getting someone who can work on such short notice if you don’t contact them quickly.

Another important thing to remember is that you need to budget for every little thing to avoid over spending. Remember to take into account things like the realtor’s fee or the moving company price in order to keep on budget, Anyway, I’m giving too much away!

I hope you enjoy this video and I can’t wait to share this next adventure with you!
