Pretty Little Green Things

We had house guests last week and inevitably our apartment ends up a bit of a mess from the extra people and activity.  So we spent part of Sunday organizing – something that always makes me feel refreshed and clear headed after I’m done.  We live in a pretty small apartment, so a well planned and practical organization strategy is key to maintaining a neat home.  There are a few areas that I’ve nailed said strategy and a few that, well, could use a bit of help (ahem, bookshelf).  Even though we’re past spring cleaning, what house couldn’t use a bit of method to reign in the madness?  I put together eco-friendly home organization tools to help you gather, arrange and simplify your life, all while being chic and green.
