I am trying to revamp my whole house room by room and would like to have someone `hold my hand` so to speak. I don`t want to hire a interior decorator cause i don`t know what their tastes are and how it will impact into my home. I like your color and feel comfortable with you. I am looking for color choice for walls etc. and floor plan that allows for wheelchair accesibity. Then also storage in each room and last but not least the crowning touches of accesories- this is where i struggle the most. I am starting with my sewing, craft, laundry room. Money is limited of course and would like utilize things within my home, so i could photo all the main pieces within my home so you could work them within your design plan right off the bat. I love your blog and look forward to hearing from you.<br />Thanks TracieButtons, Bows 'n morehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17447789603942039727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-84665617143881440942010-12-14T19:42:07.026-06:002010-12-14T19:42:07.026-06:00Question #1: What are your "must" read...Question #1: What are your "must" read blogs, and why? <br /><br />1.Younghouselove - beautiful home set up (clean, nicely finished, airy), fun couple (inspires my r'ship), happy attitude, regular posts, promote lifestyle of function, design and thriftiness<br /><br />2. Iheartorganizing - organisational topics, inspiration, positivity, aspire to home tidiness and your level of motivation in making things happen. Even though I don't want kids I enjoy reading blogs of people who I know have kids but still do things like this (tidy, organised home with focus on attractive set up). I like that I have the option of reading about your kids in a separate area if I want to check in on your cute family, but if I'm just feeling like straight up homewares and organising I can come to this blog.<br /><br />Cupcakesandcashmere.com, theGlamourai.com - fashion, beauty, home decor, positive, stylish.<br /><br />icanhascheezburger.com - cats, funny, nice way to lift spirits at work! <br /><br />BowerPowerBlog - nice projects around the home, focus on demstic goddess/family living without being too family focused... ok that doesn't make sense! <br /><br />Question #2: What is currently your biggest organizing dilemma? What type of advice are you patiently waiting for?<br /><br />1. How to get the motivation to stay on top/tidy<br />2. How to get my partner to get on board with the cleaning and organising (and keeping things that way!)<br />3. How to fit everything into a unit with two people who have their own things (and different hobbies... my craft table often has a guitar case on it) have moved in together! <br /><br />Question #3: Why do you visit IHeart Organizing? What is bringing you back each day?<br /><br />You inspire me to be tidier, more organised and to strive for a balance between tidiness and beauty - you don't just keep your home clean and tidy, you take the time to think out the layout and add accessories. I love it!<br /><br />Question #4: What is missing from IHeart Organizing that you would like to see more of?<br /><br />More frequent posts! Perhaps posting challenges and then use a link party to report back 3 days later? That way we're motivated to get going and we check back in to see how you and others went? Even if it's an area of your own home that you've already don,e you could walk us through the steps then set the challnge to do our own?<br /><br /><br />Question #5: What is something that made you laugh recently? Just because I wanna know!<br />Working at an event last night, wearing the headset and being able to hear the funny things my team were saying to each other while there was a very boring presentation on stage ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-55903644657563194212010-12-13T08:38:22.615-06:002010-12-13T08:38:22.615-06:00Question #1: What are your "must" read...Question #1: What are your "must" read blogs, and why? {don't worry, I won't be offended if I don't top your list, I am still a blogger newbie with oodles to learn!} What is the most important thing you look for in a blog? What are your favorite blog topics? {sorry, I guess that is like three questions in one...}<br /><br />My must-reads are: Chez Larsson, Young House Love, The Lettered Cottage, Lavender and Lillies, Clean Mama, Catholic Icing, It's Not All Flowers and Sausages, The Cornerstone Devotions, Girls in the Beauty Dept. and iHeart Organizing. For real! These I have a ton of blogs in my google reader that I enjoy checking in on, but my favorites have to do with design, style, education and crafts (I'm a Catholic school elementary teacher). My must-reads generally have great photographs, and personality. You start to feel like you know the writer's personality through reading their blog posts daily. I have only been reading iHeart organizing since Nov. 15 and it really is one I check on daily!<br /><br />My favorite blog topics are definitely before-and-afters! On a grand scale (like your gorgeous closet/office) or a mini-scale... (looking at that teacher's before-and-after desk drawer was disturbingly fun for me!) I love organizing before and afters even more than decorating ones. I am partial to classroom before and afters, and how teachers organize the crazy amount of paperwork we have being a teacher. I know you wouldn't have that as a focus but from time to time I'd love to see more. I probably mostly read blogs for inspiration and humor!<br /><br /><br />Question #2: What is currently your biggest organizing dilemma? What type of advice are you patiently waiting for?<br /><br />Paperwork, paperwork, paperwork, at home and at school.<br /><br />Question #3: Why do you visit IHeart Organizing? What is bringing you back each day?<br /><br />I love the projects you work on, including seemingly minor things like a kitchen drawer. I really like the color you use and the humor you show in your writing. <br /><br />Question #4: What is missing from IHeart Organizing that you would like to see more of?<br /><br />I've only been reading for a month so there are still plenty of back-posts for me to read. Just more "simple solutions" and photos, that kind of thing.<br /><br /><br />Question #5: What is something that made you laugh recently?

I think it is some kind of connection, I have 2 boys and I find I usually gravitate to those with boys also. Favourite blog topics are organising, cooking - especially gluten free and parenting<br /><br /><br />Question #2: What is currently your biggest organizing dilemma? What type of advice are you patiently waiting for?<br /><br />Biggest dilemma is the study as it is also my scrapping space, just don't know what to do there. Any advice is great.<br /><br />Question #3: Why do you visit IHeart Organizing? What is bringing you back each day?<br /><br />I love to see what you do with all those boys :) Plus you like to do things frugally and since I don't have a big budget, I love visiting for ideas.<br /><br />Question #4: What is missing from IHeart Organizing that you would like to see more of?<br /><br />more blogs you like to read, places you like to shop<br /><br /><br />Question #5: What is something that made you laugh recently?

What are your favorite blog topics? {sorry, I guess that is like three questions in one...}<br /><br />~~You are one of my Must Reads, why, you give ideas that are achieveable and relatable and I love the before and afters. <br /><br />My good friend Jen's blog www.mamanash.com and a few others with kids similar in age to mine. <br /><br />Question #2: What is currently your biggest organizing dilemma? What type of advice are you patiently waiting for?<br /><br />~~Sadly, I feel like the dilema is everywhere and I have an email from you about how to get started etc... but it's finding the time and then helping my family keep it organized. As far as advice... I don't know. I feel like i have NO sense of style and maybe I just need to take picts of the house and show people I feel have style. Time also isn't my friend, I feel like there's never enough and budget is ZERO. <br /><br />Question #3: Why do you visit IHeart Organizing? What is bringing you back each day?<br /><br />~I visit because I LOVE the content and because I hold out hope that my house might one day look 1/2 as great as yours. <br /><br />Question #4: What is missing from IHeart Organizing that you would like to see more of?<br /><br />~I have no clue on this. I keep thinking you're gonna run out of things to re-do and you keep surprising me. I wonder how you're running the daycare without a basement to access they way you used to :)<br /><br />Question #5: What is something that made you laugh recently? Just because I wanna know!<br /><br />~My kids, they make me laugh daily... my hubby also (who you know) The other day I was venting about how much our house feels always cluttered and messy and not a haven that makes me feel good walking into. He deadpanned me with "Do you want me to take my shirt off?? would that help you?"Amyhttp://www.onesassyfamily.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-81699268312151044312010-12-10T05:34:08.992-06:002010-12-10T05:34:08.992-06:00#1: I mostly follow craft blogs.

Mod Podge Rocks was the gateway craft blog for me, and some other favorites are Dollar Store Crafts, Just Something I Made, and 12 Crafts Till Christmas.<br /><br />#2: Organizing dilemma - no real attic storage and with two little ones, we cycle through cloting sizes quickly with nowhere to store them. I want to hold on to a fair amount of it though may part with a lot just to free up space.<br /><br />#3: I keep coming back because you have a creative DIY flare to your solutions. It's not just "go to the store and buy things".Dawn_Homemadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13372473680470541049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-76630145194138592872010-12-09T00:12:36.450-06:002010-12-09T00:12:36.450-06:00Question #1: yhl, Bower Power, iheart organizing...Question #1: yhl, Bower Power, iheart organizing, $5 Dinners, The Grocery Cart Challenge, I’m an Organizing Junkie, Organizing made Fun, Thrifty Decor Chick, and Centsational Girl. I love any blogs about organizing, homemaking, and saving money. <br /><br />Question #2: Photos. All my digital photos are organized but it’s those old prints from back in the day that are causing me trouble.<br /><br />Question #3: I love how pulled together everything is. You are aware of every detail. Also I love all your checklists and tables!<br /><br />Question #4: Hmm? Your blog is very comprehensive but I would love to see more organizing for others. I know your time is limited with all your family responsibilities but I enjoyed the post about organizing your mom’s bathroom. <br /><br />Question #5: My 2 year old just started stripping down to nothing at the park last week for no apparent reason.

I use google reader and really prefer the one’s where I can see the entire post through the reader without clicking to the actual site (this might be user error). I recently found your blog and I am trying to work my way through you old posts – I love your blog. Others that I try to read ever day are: The Lettered Cottage, House of Smiths, Picky Palate, Pioneer Woman,.<br /><br />#2 – Organizing Dilemma: I have so many! Right now I am trying to find ways to organize mail/financial paperwork (I have tried sooo many systems but all of them have failed!). I really would like input on how people store all of the digital pictures (I download them to my computer and backup discs but really don’t think I am using the best system. I need some ideas and figure bloggers have to have them since you take so many pictures! I would be so happy to see some posts on this!) I love creative ideas on how to organize and store things. Our house is a decent size but we have some small spaces. For instance, my kitchen is on the small size – limited cabinets and even less drawers. I would like ideas on how to store all of my gadgets without having to get rid of too many because I actually use a lot of them!<br /><br />#3- Why I keep coming back: I really enjoy your posts. The ideas I have read so far seem doable. The pictures are great! I really enjoy the reader posts as well. I like to see different ways of doing things – whether they take your ideas and make it work for their space or just provide their solutions.Stacynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-51965605621284991792010-12-08T17:50:20.523-06:002010-12-08T17:50:20.523-06:00Question #1: What are your "must" read...Question #1: What are your "must" read blogs, and why? <br />fashionbombdaily.com A black fashion blog, I've followed for years.

What type of advice are you patiently waiting for?<br />i have a room in my house that has become a catch all room. i'm a newlywed so all the stuff from our parents homes from childhood is just piled in there, highschool stuff, books, magazines, randomness...I just don't know where to start. I'd like to see a list of what you should keep in the longrun, what could be tossed, and a list of organizations that you can donate different items to. <br /><br />Question #3: Why do you visit IHeart Organizing? What is bringing you back each day?<br />Pictures on your site are inspiring. I always want to see what the next project is or how you've helped someone else...maybe you can help me!<br /><br />Question #4: What is missing from IHeart Organizing that you would like to see more of?<br />I'd like to see a blog roll of blogs you read on the side. I found this one through another site (YHL), and I've looked and can't find any up to date organizing blogs. I'm sure you know of some others...<br /><br /><br />Question #5: What is something that made you laugh recently? The south park episode creme fraiche!

Mostly sewing blogs like Twelve crafts till Christmas, Ucreate, Sew Mama Sew, Crap I've Made and yours! All the sewing and crafting stuff NEEDS to be Organized somehow!<br />What is the most important thing you look for in a blog? I look for blogs with good tutorials or instructions on things I may actually have a need for and TIME to do!<br />What are your favorite blog topics? Crafts, Real life stuff (Mom's with kids), blogs that are OK telling real life stories so the rest of us don't feel less than OK!

YOu have beautiful ideas for organizing with style.<br /><br />Question 1 - YoungHouseLove, Centsational Girl, Orangette, Chocolate and Zuchini, Ann's Blog, Nothing but Bonfires and yours too.<br /><br />Question 2 - I am not waiting for anything specific really.Just like to get inspired.<br /><br />Question 3 - I think the writing is fresh and from the heart. The ideas are great. If I didn't live in a rental I'd put more work into my own place, but it's nice to see options on how to organize things or make desks all over the house for future reference.<br /><br />Question 4 - I'd love to see some ideas for small space living. I live in a 600sq ft place and its hard to fit everything in. We have lots of books and magazines and kitchen stuff and it's sometimes hard to figure out what to do with it all as their is not really an assigned pantry in our condo. <br /><br />Question 5 - Watching Dirty Jobs last night.

I picked my faves of each thing I like... you for organizing/home stuff, Nester for crafts,home design, etc, Twilighted for my guilty pleasure of reading fan fic (I can't believe I'm admitting that and not doing this anonymously), and YouCantCallItIt blog for interesting thoughts on naming your children/name trends/etc. But my google reader is filled mostly with home design/crafts/diy blogs and my friends. The ones I love the most are ones that keep it real and attainable, I don't need more outside influence to make myself feel inadequate or like I'm failing.<br /><br />Question #2: How to do it with a 4 yr old and a 2 yr old that think our house is the Thunderdome (they're sweet kids, just not at home!). And most all organizing advice (not here, I just mean in general) is from going to a larger space to a smaller space or making due with small space. I feel embarassed that we almost tripled the size of our home over a year ago... and still almost nothing has a home. There's so many cabinets, closets, rooms, etc... I just can't decide where to put what. So things are getting bad since they don't have a home, we just shove it whereever. I hate it, it makes me so angry with myself! <br /><br />Question #3: The way you present the issue and how to solve it. It's almost like you're here in person showing me, and that's what I need. Now if I could just get you to hold my hand and help me get this organzing DONE around here!<br /><br />Question #4: Gosh I can't think of anything off the top of my head. You're home is in such great order, I think we need to see more B&A's of you doing someone else's space... but I know that requires a business, time and all that (all in due time!). So it's not missing persae, but I'd still love to see your work on someone starting out not as organized :)<br /><br />Question #5: The little one helped me feed the animals this morning... the dog ended up with 2 pieces of food and the cat ended up with a pryamid of food so big you almost couldn't see her bowl! ;PTyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08355333548750405565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-75717553707443242502010-12-08T04:33:13.831-06:002010-12-08T04:33:13.831-06:00Don't have much time, so I'll just answer ...Don't have much time, so I'll just answer the first two...<br /><br />1.

Though many of the topics don't help me much, occasionally I'll see something that gives me a good idea for my own space.Nikki (www.bookpunks.com)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03930429409262902365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-31973254129820713642010-12-08T00:10:31.652-06:002010-12-08T00:10:31.652-06:00My must-read blogs?

Centsational Girl, Making This Home, Small and Chic in C-Ville, iHeart Organizing, Sew Mama Sew, Life in Rehab, Decor8.<br /><br />I love your blog just the way it is - chock full of great info and inspiration. But particularly, iHeart the fact that you are so into organizing that you'd even organize your fridge - and post about it. :)<br /><br />My biggest organizing dilemma? The fact that I can be messy at times. But I already know how to handle that - PUT THINGS AWAY WHEN I"M DONE WITH THEM, darnit!<br /><br />What made me laugh? Tonight? Oh my. The part where I had to use a hairdryer to set up our Christmas tree. Weird, huh? Don't worry, I'll be sure to share that explanation later this week on the blog.Jane @ The Borrowed Abodehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02179561877695781228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-54261919367529222902010-12-07T22:41:20.879-06:002010-12-07T22:41:20.879-06:00Question #1: What are your "must" read...Question #1: What are your "must" read blogs, and why? <br />Too many too list them all! Some of my faves are IHeart Organizing, YHL, Bower Power, The Borrowed Abode, Unclutterer, Get Rich Slowly, A Slob Comes Clean. I mostly like blogs about decorating and organizing I guess!<br /><br />Question #2: What is currently your biggest organizing dilemma? What type of advice are you patiently waiting for?<br /><br />Hmmm, nothing I can think of right now. <br /><br />Question #3: Why do you visit IHeart Organizing? What is bringing you back each day?<br /><br />Things are pretty decluttered and organized around here, but I like getting new ideas for organizing things. I also like that you put the extra effort into making things pretty when you organize them. Your amazing office on YHL was what brought me here, and your recent office posts have also been great! You really have a knack for creating a desk space! I guess I just love seeing how other people cleverly organize things. It inspires me to keep working on my own home. <br /><br />I also really love the fact that you re-organize spaces periodically to make them more useful, like your shoe closet. It used to bug me when I would have to organize a space more than once because it just didn't work quite right the first time around. It made me feel like I just wasn't very good at organizing because I couldn't get it "right" the first time. It's nice to see that someone who is clearly naturally gifted as an organizer like you re-works spaces to get the most out of them!<br /><br />I also love when people send in pics of how they use your suggestions and when they write in for help with an organizing dilemma.<br /><br />Question #4: What is missing from IHeart Organizing that you would like to see more of?<br /><br />I would love to give you some awesome inspiration, but I can't think of anything that's missing. Just keep doing what you do girl! You rock!<br /><br />Question #5: What is something that made you laugh recently? Just because I wanna know!<br /><br />A funny email my friend forwarded to me today with 10 reasons why you shouldn't take your husband shopping!JoDinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-8647515996164881682010-12-07T21:21:34.075-06:002010-12-07T21:21:34.075-06:00**I also love and so appreciate that you comment b...**I also love and so appreciate that you comment back to reader questions!

But if I can't get to them all daily, I MUST read the following (home-paged on the ol' iPad): Young House Love, Centsational Girl, House of Smiths, Peppermint Bliss, Jones Design Co., Made By Girl, Tied with a Bouw, Hesseltime and IHeart Organizing (seriously!!).<br />The most important thing I look for is that they update their blog! I don't mind if it's every other day, but if someone is constantly "taking a break from blogging" I sort of give up. Next, I really only like them if they're creative in their own right. I dislike when some bloggers just post things they've found in magazines and its photo after photo (usually uncredited) of a bedroom or living room (so boring). <br />My fave blog topics are usually before & afters and money savers. I don't particularly like reading about all of the great scores people made at their local thrift store, because most likely they live no where near me. Also, I do usually enjoy true product reviews (not those that you're being paid for, even though I know its all your opinion - it still feels forced).<br /><br />Question #2: My biggest organizing dilemma is coming home from work with mail, groceries, dinner dishes, change of work clothes, load of laundry, primetime tv, paying bills, etc. i.e. My "day in the life of me" has no rhythm or organization.<br />I can't think of anything. I'll let you know if I do! :)<br /><br />Question #3: I really enjoy that your posts are upbeat and friendly. I never feel like you are trying to be better than your readers, but instead you're relating to us. I enjoy how you take the time to organize small things like kitchen drawers - something so small in the big picture, but it makes a difference on a daily basis. I also love your office re-do posts and your Got 10 posts!<br /><br />Question #4: Not too much is missing. I could use some crafting projects, but when I come to an organizing blog, I like that it's about organizing. But, just FYI, I don't mind if you post about topics outside of general organization. :) <br /><br />Question #5: http://damnyouautocorrect.com/Jenn Mnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-92009550399682671262010-12-07T20:56:59.877-06:002010-12-07T20:56:59.877-06:00Question #2: What is currently your biggest organ...Question #2: What is currently your biggest organizing dilemma? What type of advice are you patiently waiting for? Paper work - from kids school stuff to medical info to tax junk all of it drives me crazy and there is no end to it.

I'm new to blogging and totally captured. I like topics concerning home-keeping such as cleaning, organizing and how to make/keep our home beautiful. 5DinnersIn1Hour isn't necessarily one on those topics but it has completely changed my way of providing a good home cooked meal every night with ease.<br />I look for a blogs that are on the above topics that update often with great ideas and photos which is why I love (heart) your blog.<br /><br /><br />Question #2: My current dilemma is organizing my hall only small hall closet and my sons play toys in his closet. I hope to send photos to you once I tackle them but currently working on our bathroom update so it'll be a couple weeks before I can tackle those<br /><br />Question #3: I visit each day to see your new post and to read some older post since I'm new.<br /><br />Question #4: As someone else mentioned, I wouldn't mind seeing more organizing in other homes since yours is so beautiful already. Also I liked when you determine a month to be centered on a certain area of the home. It helps focus my energy.Crystalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-78281525200912397302010-12-07T20:33:12.924-06:002010-12-07T20:33:12.924-06:001.

I look for lots of pictures, words with a bit of humour, something to make me smile and keep reading on. Fav topics are before and afters, organising the house, easy crafts for the seasons (ie: Xmas)<br />2. How to organise my craft room better than just drawers for my zillions of papers, stickers and scrapping supplies. How to organise my jewellery so its all stored neatly and easy for me to accessories.<br />3. I love to visit your blog as you are full of fresh ideas, show real life stories, explain how you organise things so anyone can do it. Personally, giveaways don’t draw me in at all I’m there for you and your ideas, not to win something.<br />4. I’m a sucker for a Before and After!<br />5. Bantering with my friends, they can always put a smile on my face when I need it the most.<br />P.S. Its a family tradition to put on the Mariah Carey Christmas CD every year when putting up the Xmas tree :)Michelle {Jarrah Jungle}https://www.blogger.com/profile/06787886183163179543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-62744832030249475652010-12-07T19:37:08.802-06:002010-12-07T19:37:08.802-06:00Question #1: What are your "must" read...Question #1: What are your "must" read blogs, and why? They are simple and not cluttered, easy to navigate (yours), updated frequently (yours), interesting (yours!)<br /><br /><br />Question #2: What is currently your biggest organizing dilemma? I am very visual and so is my husband so I don't know what to do with the clutter that collects on the counter/table. Things that if I put them away I will forget to do them or that I have them. I have a system for grocery coupons and for our bills but all the other stuff I don't know what to do with! <br /><br />Question #3: Why do you visit IHeart Organizing? Great tips, before and afters and freebies! Inspiration.<br /><br /><br />Question #5: What is something that made you laugh recently? Just because I wanna know!

I love the photos of a room or area of a room before and after. It gives me lots of ideas and it's very inspiring! Especially the ones where you don't spend money- you make over a space using what you already have!<br /><br />Question #4: Not much- I'd love more posts because I love your work.<br /><br /><br />Question #5: The faces my seven week old daughter makes when she's on the potty.
