Read MoreMy husband and I love to get away for a week or two each year, typically picking a condo on a beautiful Florida beach as our destination. Over the years we’ve stayed at many different places and I’ve always enjoyed looking at how each place is arranged and decorated and how storage needs are handled within the footprint of these smaller spaces. As an organizer I can't help noticing what flows efficiently and what doesn’t and I often find myself doing some rearranging of a chair for a better view or changing the placement of things in the kitchen cabinets to work better for my food storage and preparation methods during our stay.
Read MoreIf you’ve ever wanted to see what homes In your neighborhood or a far away destination look like on the inside, go to a site like realtor.com to indulge those desires. From expensive homes to modest, beach homes to those in the mountains, large to small, condos, townhomes, single family homes and more, you can search for things such as location, price and size, to see how people organize their spaces. Since these are homes people really live in, you will get many practical ideas and evaluate what you think works and what doesn’t and why. Some homes are professionally staged to sell. Do their interiors look more appealing to you? Why? I hope this method will help you learn more about what you like and might want to use in your own home and help inspire you to take your next steps in creating a beautifully organized home.

What do you feel as you walk through a model home and why? What do you like? Can you take some of those ideas and use them in your home? I hope you will find some inspiration that will refresh you and that you’ll hopefully be able to use in some of your home spaces.
