• Great Tips to Organize Kid’s Room

  Date: 2012.02.02 | Category: Subtle Screamer, Tips | Response: 0

  My aunt was asking me if I came across a site with heated mattress pads because she knows I love looking at home stores and interior designed homes. I was not a great help for her but we carried a conversation about visiting sites about interior design. Site with home photos are pleasing to the eyes plus I get so much ideas in decorating and organizing. Pinterest has been a great help in pinning all these photos plus you can track where you found the picture because it includes the website where you pinned the photo. Anyway, we still don’t have our own home but I love getting tips and ideas in organizing especially if it’s about the kid’s place.

  

  1. Take a child’s eye view.

  2. Bring the child into the process.

  3. Sort, store and simplify.

  4. Contain, corral and control.

  5. Make it easier to put away, harder to get out.

  6. Organize bottom to top.

  7. Label, label, label.

  8. Build a maintenance routine.

• Hanging Up the Clothes on the Clothesline

  Date: 2011.12.13 | Category: Tips | Response: 0

  There are ways to pin up or hang clothes on the clothesline or clothing racks for that matter. I particularly love using clothing hangers when I dry clothes outdoors. I never like doing the laundry but when I am doing it, I am very particular with a few things in mind.

  • I usually use plastic hangers when I hang skirts and pants. I use really sturdy wooden hangers on delicate clothing.
  • I hang t-shirts by folding the hem a little over the line and pinning on at each end.
  • To prevent clothes pin imprints on clothing, I usually try to pin the clothes in discreet locations.
  • I usually hang socks by the toes, bras by the hook end, and I fold the waistband of underpants over the line and I pin either side onto the line and I find folding handkerchiefs in half over the line and pinning at each end make it less wrinkled and sometimes I don’t need to iron them anymore.
  • I usually use clothing hangers to dresses especially the delicate ones.
  • I usually hang towels, blankets, pillow cases and the likes by grabbing the middle part at pinning each end safely.

  I hope these tips help you as much as they have been helping me (whenever I do the laundry — which is very rare nowadays).
