MOTHER'S DAY IS COMING SOON


Mother's Day is right around the corner and now is the perfect time to plan the perfect gift for your mom. Not sure where to begin? Whether it's accessorizing a closet or revitalizing a room, ECO-NIZE can help you with the the gift of organization which will delight the special woman in your life. Consider these ideas - from functional to fabulous.

REVITALIZE HER ROOM
This fabulous walk-in closet displays her wardrobe in high fashion. A hutch with drawers and shelves can hide or highlight keepsakes. Architectural details and a popular mocha finish compliment the décor.

ACCESSORIZE HER CLOSET
She will see who is the fairest of them all with this pull-out, full-length mirror. Tucks away neatly in the closet. And you can show mom that you treasure her with a velvet-lined jewelry tray for organizing her treasured jewels.

CLOSET ORGANIZING TIPS

Your bedroom provides a peaceful place to start and end each day. The key to preserving this sanctuary is to have a place for everything and keep it organized. It may seem like a daunting task but with the right storage system and these inspiring ideas, you can transform an inefficient space to an organized oasis.

Deciding what to wear is more fun than ever in this deluxe dressing room. A space for two designed with two finishes in Chateau and Maple welcomes suits, sweaters, blouses, and bags--anything you need to store on the go. Rows of racks proudly display a selection of shoes. Steal a "me" moment--reflect on a mirror or unwind on a bench after a busy day.

Eco-nize can take your reach-in closet from baseline to brilliant. It hides, hangs, and holds in so fine-a-fashion that you may be tempted to leave the doors open. A hutch tucked inside the closet space takes away the need for a bulky bureau in your room. Sturdy shelves store stacks of sweaters neatly. In rich mahagony finish, this classic closet is a welcome start, even on a Monday morning.



FOUR EASY TIPS TO ORGANIZE YOUR CLOSET

Take inventory: Use a checklist to think about the items that need to be stored or removed. Ask yourself:
How frequently is it used?
How many items need to be accommodated?
Is there a more appropriate place for it?
Is it time to dispose of it?
Remove the extras. Reduce visual clutter and gain more space by removing items you rarely or never wear because they don't fit, aren't comfortable, or are out of style. Sort them in four boxes: belongs elsewhere; give away or sell; not ready to get rid of, and trash. Date the not ready to get rid of box and look through it a few months to determine if the clothes still should be saved.

Group like items together - Shirts or blouses all in one area, skirts or pants in another. Use double-hung racks, one at waist height and one at eye level, to separate attire and maximize hanging space. Having designated areas for your items means you will always know where to put them away and where to find them the next time.

Keep objects close at hand if they are worn often. Save time looking for your favorite clothes and accessories by putting them in a place that's easy to reach. Designate your top shelf for storing items used infrequently.

SPRING CLEANING--GARAGES

Now that the weather is breaking, it is a great time get outside and see what has happend in the cold garage all winter long.







Hardworking and multipurpose, the garage is an extension of the home, a transition place to the great outdoors, and oh yeah, a place to park the car. It can also become a domestic dumping ground. With these simple tips, you can transform an untidy garage into an organized, efficient and enjoyable space.

SET UP A PLACE TO ESCAPE
Designate a space for a passion station and make this the heart of your hobby area. In this ECO-NIZE gardening center, the work surface is kept clear by storing small tools and supplies on slatted walls. Hooks, racks and baskets of different sizes hold just about everything and rearrange with a snap. Deep, beech wood drawers stow gloves and gardening gear.

TIPS FOR TACKLING THE GARAGE
Keep awkward seasonal tools nearby. Rakes, shovels, folding chairs- hang or hook these often used items on the walls nearest the garage door to lessen the likelihood that you'll ding your cars by dragging things along the length of your stalls.
Layer items by hazard and by height. Store children's items close to the ground, with things you'll need to share at mid-level. Stow "adult" items-chemicals, breakables, or sharp tools-overhead and behind lockable cabinet doors if necessary.
Designate a space for smooth transitions. Typically with one free hand as you enter/ leave your home, easy access to everyday items is essential. Use hooks for hanging coats and keys, pull-out baskets to see what you have, and surfaces such as adjustable shelves for setting shoes or groceries.

Dedicate a day to divide and conquer clutter. Park curbside so you can move all garage contents to the driveway. Then as a family effort, divide items by zones: indoor-outdoor transition, household overflow, large/long/long term, everyday yard gear, and hobbies.
