As we’ve grown into the renovation project that is our home, the process of decluttering, reorganizing, and adding storage has been never ending. One year in (what, what!?) and I’ve started feeling major burnout so when the big kids’ rooms were ready to move into, I made zero progress in getting things functional for them. So I did what any sane person that’s feeling stuck should do… call in the experts! Luckily our friend Ashley had recently started a new business called Finding Order and was available for new projects. So I messaged and asked if she would help me take Espen and Tilly’s (basically) non-existent closets (we’re talking ikea clothing racks and piles of stacked clothing) and turn them into an actual functional closet. She said YES (PTL) and even wound up having time to spruce up Griffin and Poppy’s closet too!
Totally obsessed with the result and also feeling refreshed enough to tackle a few other organizational projects before (hopefully) hiring Finding Order again to help with the pantry! (What do you say, Ashley!?)
Will be sharing before and afters on stories today if you’re into that. Also, linked everything I could find, below… most is from Target!
ESPEN’S CLOSET:
- hanging cubbies
- cubbies, bins, and hairpin legs (you can easily add to the cubbies!)
- top shelf bins (big + small)
- curtains
- bin labels
- take it easy banner (lots of other cute tapestry options!)
Also purchased this label maker after seeing labels on the kids’ shelves. Amazing.
TILLY’S CLOSET:
- striped baskets
- top shelf bins (big + small)
- cubbies, bins, and legs (you can easily add to the cubbies!)
- bin labels
- curtains (in rose)
- bin dividers
- smiley face banner (lots of other cute tapestry options!)
- dirty laundry bin
Griffin + Poppy Closet:
- curtains
- hanging shelves and drawers (small + big)
- green laundry basket ($4!)
- top shelf bins (big + small)
- bin labels
Next area in need of organizing is our kitchen… Found these bins (above) to store lunchbox and play doh stuff.
…And our tech rolling bin needs a good declutter sesh!
What is your next organizational project!?
Don’t forget to follow Ashley @finding.order for all the tips or (better yet) if you are local, hire her to come help you!

This was so fun!! Can’t wait for the pantry !
