Home Office Essentials

by Tazim Damji

Home Office Essentials

Despite having an online business and only working with people virtually, I do like to have all the essentials in my home office—physically. Here's a secret to start off the post: I really like paper. I've tried to go paperless, and still do scan in everything important, but I find that things stick in my mind more when I write them down. Every single instrument or product I use in my home office is carefully chosen. I have an open-concept living room/home office/dining room so there's no ...

Home Organizing: Everything in its Place Thanks to @Rubbermaid All-Access Storage Containers

by Tazim Damji

home organizing

These Rubbermaid  All-Access Storage Containers that I was sent have been helping me stay organized, because I can see everything I'm storing. Starting in one area of the home and removing everything that doesn't belong there or we don't want to have there works well—so long as everything you remove has a place to go. Everything in its place Living in a small space, having a spot for everything is crucial so that your home doesn't end up looking cluttered. In small spaces, hiding places to ...

IOGEAR's Extended Capacity microSDXC/SDXC portable device benefits Susan G. Komen for the Cure. I was sent a pretty pink card reader/writer from Overstock.com recently.

How Would I DIY? Wooden China Cabinet

by Tazim Damji

china cabinet

When looking for a piece of furniture for the Ultimate Upcycle Challenge , I came across this amazing credenza. Unfortunately, it was a little bit too big for the challenge, so it remained at the Vancouver ReStore, waiting for someone else to DIY it up. What potential, though. . .what would you do with this piece and how would you use it?  ...

The Organized Home Inspired by Pottery Barn

by Tazim Damji

kitchen organization

Okay, I admit it –I've jumped right in to the fall season, which (I know) hasn't technically begun, according to the calendar. When one week it's 30 to 35 degrees (celsius) and days later it is in the low 20s or mid teens, you know that fall has begun weather-wise. I'm fine with the weather change, though I will miss the amount of sunshine that summer brings to otherwise hyper-drenched rainy Vancouver. Still, show me the new home decor offerings for the season and I'll take fall–rain and all! ...

Small Office/Home Office – Using Summer’s Downtime to GET ORGANIZED!

by Tazim Damji

before office

We are approaching mid-summer and I always find that this is a good time to review of few things in the office so that I can ramp up in the fall.  On a quiet Friday afternoon, take the time to review what is working and what is not: are there piles of papers stacked on your desk…on a cabinet or maybe on the floor? Have you let all those samples pile up in the corner? Look on your computer’s desktop: do you have random files just floating around? Or did you download the pictures from your phone ...

Best of IKEA: Home Organization Products

by Greg

slom jar ikea

In the last ten years, we've moved around a lot. Each time we pack up and go, a process of elimination ensues: this means that only the best things survive. Here's a collection of ten IKEA home organizational products, most of which we've been using for over 10 years! 1 SLOM Jars If you were vegan in the nineties in the mid-west, you bought stuff in bulk from weird stores with hippy-names, or oriental markets with labels written in Chinese. When you brought it all home it would pile up ...

Shoe & Boot Holder from Real Simple

by Tazim Damji

fabric

The Shoe and Boot Organizer from Real Simple hangs from a closet rod and would be great to use in the front entrance or in a bedroom closet. The material of this organizer is really nice, much better than other shoe organizers I have (that have a few tears in them). I like the colour combination! This hanging organizer is great because it can be used for shoes and tall boots, too. Not only that, but there are so many other things—like linens, belts, hats . . . I am using mine for ...

3-Piece Trunk Organizer from Real Simple

by Tazim Damji

trunk organizer

 The Real Simple 3-Piece Trunk Organizer comes with a 4-sectioned container, with movable sections. I like this unit because it has handles and mesh pockets on the sides. There is tons of room to put in several bags of groceries or other things you may need to transport. The set also containers a cooler bag with a zipper. On a hot day, or after several stops between the grocery store and home, some food tends to melt or go soft, so this cooler bag would come in very handy. There is also a single ...
