Happy New Year everyone, here’s my FIRST post of 2021!

I want to first start by saying, I struggled with this tool I’m also raving about because my apartment just had to be different.

What I’m using to organize my laundry room AND underneath my kitchen sink is an Elfa system from the Container Store. If you don’t know, Elfa, is one of TC's tried and true products. The particular product I used is my absolute favorite because its MADE FOR small apartments. Its genius in its set up, break down, and customization. Find more information about Elfa here!

I’ll share more about why I struggled to install this easy and inexpensive organization tool.

I wanted to create a system that was easy, efficient, and could stand the test of time. With my cleaning products underneath my kitchen sink and my laundry detergent sitting on top of my broiler, I knew the perfect solution was the use vertical space.

A lot of professional organizers and interior decorators stress the use of vertical space, especially smaller spaces like apartments. Its actually one of the only viable options to “create space“ and make it function. Often people opt for non-mounted shelving which IS the logical option.

Except I take it another small but logical step further with removing things off the floor. Rather than floor shelves, mounting your shelves creates a more spacious and less clutter feel in the room.

Understandably, non-renters who have concerns about receiving their deposit back would rather not puncture any serious holes in their walls. While some landlords offer flexibility and are a bit more lenient with modifications to the space.


That’s why this tool is a perfect solution to create space without cluttering the space.

Our laundry room is pretty straight forward, there’s detergent, basket for dirty clothes, and back of door rack for broom and iron board which still needs a home. One thing I really wanted to create with our new Elfa Door Rack were homes for items that didn’t quite have one. Like our masks, fly swatter, and new collection of travel hand sanitizers.

This system can be used for a wardrobe and your accessories or a utility closet and electronics, the possibilities are endless.

She then began designing headbands and hair accessories. She was discovering her inner designer which was the beginning of "Make it Happen". She grew up in a very creative household where her parents promoted and delved in the arts themselves. With the support and help from them she began a line of headbands, bangles, hair bows, and feather earrings. She sold her pieces at street festivals and markets in Philadelphia. In 2010 she moved back to New York, settling into Brooklyn for the next three years. Since she began her journey as a jewelry designer, she has built a following throughout New York City. Charmed Feathers has been sold at shops in Philadelphia, New Jersey, New York, Maryland, and D.C. CF has also been sold in France and Canada. "The guidelines I follows are adapted from my family and into my designs. Myfather is a man that does not fear color, and Charmed Feathers accessories are always colorful and vibrant. My mother is a woman who taught me to be myself and to not follow the crowd. I like to believe that being true to yourself is as natural as you can get". -Rebekah Christie In 2012 she attended the Art Institute of New York majoring in Fashion Merchandise and Marketing.
