Alright, all morning we are showing you ways to declutter and organize your house. I'm
actually very organized, just for the record. Are you?
Yeah I am, it's kind of scary. I am too, sometimes.
A little pathetic. Fox 5's Shally Zomorodi in Leucadia this morning
giving us tips for the bathroom. Oh good!
Hey, good morning everyone! Yes, yes, yes we are in the bathroom right now but not for
the reasons you may think. We're actually decluttering your home today. We're invading
the home of Lisa Knight who lives in Leucadia and we've done your closet this morning. It
looks beautiful. Yes, thank you, I'm enjoying it immensely.
And now we are in your bathroom. Now you have quite a few challenges with keeping your home
clean. Tell me about that. I own Orange Salon in Leucadia and I'm just
about to open another salon and so I'm constantly busy but I'm a little bit *** about my house
too (pardon the pun with the bathroom), but I do like to keep every drawer really tidy
but I have a teenage daughter -- nail polish everywhere, hands on the mirror, each drawer
is so cluttered with hair dryers, brushes, combs, makeup, everywhere.
Okay, so we have Kathi Burns. We can let you go now and let Kathi do her magic. So Kathi
Burns for Add Space To Your Life, she's the founder. She's like the organizing fairy,
magic...I can't even. Let me get up and talk to you Kathi. Okay, tell me a little bit about...this
is like one of the rooms in everybody's home, I mean it's dirty. You open up the drawers
like at parties, you're like ooh this person's bathroom is dirty.
...and especially with the teenage daughter because teenage daughters don't like to put
things away necessarily. Okay, so what are some things that we can
do? Well my favorite number one trick always is
to use these three drawer bins. We always need more drawers it seems like in a bathroom.
So take for instance we have pain relief, antacids, medicines and it's all right here
stacked so it gives us more shelf space. No matter what bathroom there is, this will always
fit underneath the sink somewhere. How much does something like this cost Kathi?
$7 and it's made by Sterilite. I love it, I use it all the time, pretty much in any
bathroom because we all need drawers. You could do like eyes, lips, and ears, you could
do whatever category you need. Either way you get three categories that are itemized
and organized. I love it!
Love that, right? The second conundrum that I see all the time in bathrooms is the travel
supplies. Okay, everybody always has these little freebies right and have a thousand
of these and they're scattered everywhere. So you keep a little shoebox, I use the plastic
shoebox for this all the time. You see it says "Toiletries," the toiletry bag or actually
the travel bag sits right on top so as she gets ready to go and travel she can just look
in there, refill it and she's set to go. And because it's such a small space you can keep
your collection under control. You know how much you have and you don't want any more
than one shoebox. And these shoeboxes can't be that expensive?
$.99 cents. You're kidding.
$.99 cents if you know where to go. $1.98 at the very most.
I love it. Labeled and all? Labeled and all. Well this helps for the daughter.
The labeling helps her know what's supposed to go where. Next up we have the vitamins
that everybody takes so they're in the drawer right there. And then make up, and nail polish.
Nail polish is general spread all over the house so she has one area to put it in, it's
all good. All in these little containers. So coming
up in the next hour, Kathi, we are going to go into the room...I think one of the hardest
rooms to organize. I've been trying to organize my kitchen, your kitchen, all of our kitchens
-- for years. So we're going to go into there and do that and also you're going to talk
about your new book that's coming out. Allright, that's all coming up in our next hour. We'll
see you then!
