It's officially fall and cooler days are becoming more the norm than the exception, so now is the optimal time to change the season in your closet. At Chaos to Order we suggest that your closet be weeded through twice per year. Weeding out the closet doesn't mean taking a good look around and saying, "Ok, I need it all". It really means picking up each individual piece of clothing and asking, "Do I wear this?" or "When was the last time I wore this?" and "Will I be wearing it this season?" Taking a detailed inventory of every item, including what you have way up on the very top shelf, is crucial to the functionality of your wardrobe. The space in your closet is prime real estate. It's like walking down the aisle in the supermarket, the most valuable space is at eye level. You want the items you're frequently wearing to be right there ready to grab, items you wear infrequently a little harder to reach and what you don't use should be removed. If you need to add any hardware, including shelving, extra hanging space or drawers, ask our friends at Closetworks.com. If you need any of our closet organizing pros to come and whip your closet into shape, schedule an appointment at Chaostoorder.com. Happy organizing!

Some great gadgets from the International Housewares Show
We recently spent the day at the International Housewares Show. We didn't see everything, you'd have to walk over 13 miles to see the entire show! Here are a few items of interest we found:
*Chaos To Order has no financial relationship with any of these companies and did not receive any free product. These items were selected based on vendors we visited at the International Housewares Show.
- Seville Classics: This is a terrific laundry sorter. I'm a huge advocate for having the whole family place their laundry into a common sorter. When the sorter is full, throw in a load. The rod above the bins is an added bonus!
- Sterilite Shelving and Containers: Sterilite will be coming out with a nice line of shelving that's the perfect size to house their containers. The set would be perfect in a garage or a basement. I was not able to find images of it online, but I will keep an eye out to see when they are released. I think many of our clients would find the set useful.
- Spice Device: No more having to grab the set of measuring spoons. Stick the spice device on frequently used spices to quickly measure and add to a recipe!
- Dry Dock: This is a nice big antibacterial
sponge to set your drying dishes on. Rather than using a large dish rack, place them on this Dry Dock and let them dry.
InstaHanger: Here's a cute idea for a foyer, porch or any other area you'd like to have the option of hanging up some extra items. When not in use, it makes a nice decorative frame for photos.
