Friday Favorite: Martha Stewart Pockets for Back To School
When kids head back to school, it’s the perfect time to get your own life organized. The kids start a routine and the calendar fills up—organization and time management become crucial. Here’s an item from Martha Stewart’s line at Staples that can help keep all the school papers organized and off the counter. These Large Shagreen Double Pockets are great for keeping important school papers contained. They come with push pins so you can hang them on a bulletin board or attach them to a wall. You also may want to secure them even more with tack nails they are great to have around for hanging light things on walls. Consider hanging these wall pockets near the entry your kids use. Have them put important papers in them when they return from school. Remember, they are not a dumping ground, they are simply to be used to house current papers 🙂 You can get them right now for 40% off at Staples.

Hello,
What kind of shelf paper would you recommend for kitchen cabinets? Because of health issues I can not lift and pull, I need to be able to slide items. I hope you can help.
If I have an organizer will she climb up on the step stool, eliminate, wipe out and organize the cabinets?
Thanks, Rena
The type of shelf paper you need depends on a few things. There’s shelf paper, shelf liner and contact paper. We can wipe out the cabinets and install it for you. Give us a call at 847-825-8400 and we can schedule and appointment and advise you on what to line the shelves with.
Would an organizer be able to declutter and decorate my bookshelves around my fireplace. I have some books and many decorative items. Some pictures. Not sure how to arrange or what to use.
Yes! We would be happy to declutter your bookshelves. Our organizers are pro’s at making them look decorative, stylish and of course organized 🙂
