TeamSugar member HarmonyFrance set out a few months ago to make a complete change to her living space. She was tired of her disorganized, messy, and jumbled home. Well, it's been a long journey, but she's made some incredible progress. Take, for example her "landing strip," which used to be covered with mail, keys, and assorted detritus in a big messy pile.

Here's what it used to look like:

To see what it looks like after some diligent work, just read more.

So lovely! This seems like a much more welcome way to come home at the end of the day, don't you think? Let's take a closer look at how she's organized things.

If, like HarmonyFrance, you've made some small (or big!) changes at your house, month, you should show off all of your home updates in my group on TeamSugar called Su Casa. What changes are you making?

    That is a wonderful piece of furniture, and I love the mix of classic and modern.

    Thanks everyone! Yes bella the before mess was unbearable. I was just so busy. I really had to streamline my life. The Apartment Therapy cure definitely helped. I just have to make time for decluttering or it takes over. It's a constant job!

    This landing strip actually serves as my vanity too. All my make-up, lotions, and perfumes are in the top drawer. It works SO well. Our bathroom is really small, so it's nice to have my own area to get ready. Smiling Thanks for posting casa! It's so motivational. hmmmm...maybe I'll work on my Living Room a little tonight!

    Great job! I'm inspired but now I just need the right furniture to make it happen. My desk looks the same as your before sometimes.

    You should be so proud of yourself. This looks great. And you know what? Give yourself the time to put things away. The longer and more continuously you use your system, the easier it gets. I've had a few friends who laugh at me and my kitchen organization - until they saw how quickly and stress free my cooking and clean up is. Me? I just enjoy the convenience. One less thing to fret about.
