How to Hold a Successful Garage or Yard Sale

Spring cleaning is in full swing and for many of us that means it’s garage sale season. Hosting a garage or yard sale is the perfect time to edit items from your home that are no longer used or fit your lifestyle. In addition to de-cluttering your home, a garage sale is a great way to make a little extra money.

Holding a garage sale however takes organization and pre-planning. Here are some tips for hosting a successful garage sale:

{images by Thayer Allyson Gowdy via Real Simple}

Select the Right Day & Time.

1. Typically the best months for garage sales are in the spring and summer. Steer clear of holidays and summer vacation months {i.e. July & August}.

2. Saturday is the most popular day for garage sales, but a Friday or Sunday might also work for you. Go with the flow and see what day is trending in your neighborhood.

3. Serious garage sale shoppers get up earlier, so set a start time no later than 8am.

Consider a Multi-family Sale.

1. Inform family and friends about the garage sale and encourage them to participate. Ask them to help out on the day of the sale and assign them a task {cashier, helping customers, keeping merchandise neat}.

2. Let neighbors know about your sale. If they too want to have a garage sale the same day, share marketing efforts {signage, Criagslist posting, etc.}. Muti-family garage sales always pull in more traffic.

Determine, Organize & Price Items to Sell.

1. Schedule a day {or two} to go room by room in your home to de-clutter and make a list of items you would like to sell.

2. Don’t sell items that are damaged beyond repair or have been recalled. In fact it is illegal to resell items that have been recalled – go here for a list of recalled items}.

3. Make a note as to what price you would like to sell the item. If you have no idea how to price an item, you can always look up a similar item on eBay or Criagslist.

4. Set up a holding area for the items you will be selling. Typically this is in the garage, because it eliminates moving the sale items multiple times. You’ll be able to move the items easily out the day of the sale.

5. In the holding area, group sale items into plastic bins {clear ones are best because you can see the contents inside} and boxes. Be sure to label the bin or box  {i.e. toys, DVDs, 0-3 month girls clothing, etc.} and price the items in the grouping the same.

6. Save time by minimizing labeling each item. Instead label the tables, bins or racks {i.e. $5-$10, $1 or Less, $25 or Best Offer}.

Supplies Needed On-site for the Sale.

1. Shopping bags and small boxes to make it easier for customers to take away the goods.

2. Tables, clothing racks and shelves for displaying items.

3. A calculator for adding up sales.

4. Spare light bulbs, batteries and extension cords plugged in to show that items work properly.

5. Tape measure, pens and scissors.

6. Trash can.

7. Paper towels, tissues and hand-sanitizer.

8. Pre-made sticker labels or color coded stickers for pricing items.

9. Newspaper to wrap fragile items.

10. Cash-box, hip-pack or apron with pockets to hold cash and change.

Advertise the Sale.

1. Create a listing one week prior to the sale on Craigslist or a similar on-line site. It’s free!

2. Inquire about placing ads with various local newspapers. Ask how many words, how much it will cost and when you need to submit the information by.

3. When listing your ad, include your big items and/or categories {i.e. 1940s oak dining table, baby gear & clothing}

3. Create signage to be placed at large intersections near your home.

4. Signage should include the date of the sale, your address {cross streets can be helpful too} and the sale hours. Use foam board and make the signs large enough for them to be read easily by drivers.

5. Consider making smaller directional signage if you think people may have difficulties finding your home.

Display items with Style.
1. Remove or cover items in the garage you don’t want to sell.
2. Organize your items and display them in an interesting and easy-to-view format.
3. Use clothing racks {consider renting or borrowing some} to hang items such as dresses, jackets and suits. Group clothing according to size.
4. Place like items together and make signs so customers can easily find what they are looking for {i.e books, housewares, boys clothing - sizes 2T – 3T}

{image via CountryHome}

Managing the Money.

1. Go to the bank ahead of the sale and have between $75 and $100 in small bills {$1s, $5s and a few $10s} and a couple rolls of quarters.

2. Designate a person to handle the cash-box at all times. If this isn’t possible, have one person where an apron or hip-pack to mange the transactions.

3. Have a “Cash Only” rule. It’s no fun to get a bounced check!

Fun for the Kids.

1. Encourage older kids to earn extra cash by selling donuts, bagels or cookies.

2. Set out a box of gently used stuffed animals labeled “FREE – Kids Take One” for customers with  young children. Used stuffed animals are rarely accepted by charities, so this is a great way to pass them along! You will have some very happy, little customers too :)

After the Sale.

1. Do not bring any unsold items back into your home or garage.

2. Immediately after the sale, pack unsold items into your vehicle and drive them to the nearest charity or donation center {be sure to get a receipt for a tax credit}.

3. Place unsold items curbside with a “FREE” sign.

4. Schedule a date and time for one of the local thrift stores to pick up items that are too big for you to hall away {have them leave a receipt for a tax credit}.

5. Remove all posted signs from the neighborhood.

If you don’t have a yard or garage for a traditional sale of this kind, try TagSellIt. It’s a a traditional garage sale in a virtual format.

I don’t tend to host garage sales {too much work, my hubby says}, but I love going to them. Just downloaded the iGarageSale app for my iPhone too. The reviews are glowing.

The Best Ways to Organize Kid Rooms at Centsational Girl

{Designer Katie Ridder}

Much of my organizing & design business focuses on helping young families de-clutter and organize their homes, while still being style-savvy. So naturally I was over-the-moon when Kate  of Centsational Girl asked me to guest blog and give her readers tips on keeping kid rooms organized. Being a stylish & organized mom herself, Kate’s throwing in a couple more tips of her own. Be sure to stop by - 'The Best Ways to Organize Kid Rooms'.

 {images via Polka Dot Peacock}

 

Here’s a more important reason to stop by Kate’s blog. Wanting to ‘fixing up spaces for those who really need it, not those who can afford it’, Kate recently announced she has teamed up with Committee on the Shelterless (or COTS) and has adopted a house in need. The project’s name is the Alma Project. Here is a brief description:

“We called the The Alma Project is the transformation of a fixer upper house into a comfortable functional home for women who desperately need it.  Living inside the Alma House are three single mothers, previously homeless, who reside for free on the condition that they are learning skills, stabilizing their lives, attending counseling, and remain drug and alcohol free.  These mothers are saving their money from their part time jobs and raising their children as best as they can.  They have no time or money to fix up this house.  They are real women with real needs who need real solutions. “ 

If you would like to donate money or materials to this wonderful project, please visit The Alma Project.

Keeping the people of Japan in my prayers,

Simple Steps to Organize a Junk or Desk Drawer with Style

Do you have a drawer in your home that looks like this? Most of us have had a drawer that has gotten a little out-of-control. Organizing a junk drawer is actually quite easy and can typically be done quickly. Whether organizing a drawer that holds odds & end, cosmetics or office supplies, the process is the same.

Here are  simple steps to organize a junk drawer:

Step One - Empty & Edit

First take all the contents out of the drawer and purge. Item by item determine whether or not it is worth storing:

• Toss if broken or expired {recycle when possible}.
• Donate items that are not being used.

Take the opportunity to clean the drawer and line it with fresh paper if applicable.

Step Two - Group
The next step is to arrange items into similar groups based on function and size. When you come across items that don’t belong in the drawer, set aside in a separate group that will need to be returned to the correct place.

Step Three - Contain
Recently a Simplified Bee reader, Jeanette asked for suggestions on organizing a desk or junk drawer in a stylish way. The containers or dividers used and how they are arranged is where the “styling” comes in.

There so many organizing tray and divider options for drawers. Before you purchase any drawer dividers however, measure the drawer {width and height} to know what will fit. Also, keep in mind the sizes and quantities of the items you want to store to ensure you purchase the best option. The Container Store, Ikea, Target or any office supply store are great resources for basic and inexpensive drawer organizing trays like the ones in the desk drawer above via Apartment Therapy.

I love the clean look of these customizable acrylic drawer dividers by LifeStyle Systems. Martha Stewart shows how to install them here.

Styling tip: For an uncluttered look, select a drawer liner in a neutral color and with a simple pattern.

Organizing your junk drawer doesn't have to be expensive. Save money by using everyday items you may already have such as baskets, ice trays and shoe box lids in drawers to help keep items contained.

For long narrow drawers like this one above, a trio of cookie sheets keeps supplies organized.

{image source: BHG}

Muffin pans provide the perfect size compartment for smaller items such as stamps, paper clips and loose change.

{image source: Martha Stewart}

Put your China to good use everyday! Decorative bowls, plates and tea cups make this jewelry drawer colorful and functional.

HGTV had this great deak storage idea that's also inexpensive and eco-friendly. Clean tuna cans and nestle them into a drawer to keep items neatly stored.

Step Four - Arrange

Next arrange each grouping of items into the appropriate container or divider. Keep in mind the idea is to be able to locate items easily and therefore, labeling the compartments may make sense in some cases.

Do you remember the first image of the messy, cluttered drawer? Here it is organized and functioning beautifully. Several containers were used in combination. First the basket {which was originally used} was spray painted a semi-gloss white for a cleaner look. A clear acrylic tray with dividers purchased at Target was added to divide the smaller items. A scalloped white bowl and vintage milk glass mug pulled from the cupboard were the perfect fit for containing iPhone cords and magnets.

Styling tip: If using different style containers & dividers, unify the look by having all the containers in the same color.

Keeping your newly organized drawer beautiful will take some maintenance. If it is a drawer used often, keep an eye on items that are misplaced and edit routinely. If the drawer is used infrequently, add it to your quarterly or bi-annual cleaning schedule so that it doesn’t get overlooked.

Do you have any fun styling tips for organizing drawers?

Happy organizing!

Conquering Clutter: Guidelines to Follow & Questions to Ask When Decluttering

This week I'm taking time to declutter. We all have sentimental items that we cherish and want to store away, but when is it too much? And when is it clutter? Clutter is basically anything that takes up space and isn’t improving or making your life better.  If you have clothing in your closet that you haven’t worn in years, piles of mail on the counter, toys in every corner or trouble finding important documents, it is time for you to think about purging and decluttering your home. For many of my clients letting go of items is the biggest hurdle when organizing their home.

Here are some guidelines and questions you should ask when determining whether to toss/recycle, donate to charity or keep:

Sort. Take one item at a time when determining to keep it or not. While sorting keep in mind that the goal is to purge and reduce the amount of stuff in your home. The best decisions are the ones made quickly.

Question. If you get stuck and can’t decide what to do wit h a particular item, ask yourself clarifying questions including:

• When is the last time you used this item and was it in the last year?
• Is it broken, damaged or the wrong size?
• Does it make you happy or have sentimental value?
• Do you really need this item?

Review. For many of us holding onto clutter is emotional. Our possessions reflect who we are, who we are not and who we wish to be. Emotional attachment to items is something most of us do and the primary reason people hold onto clutter. Pretty Neat suggests that if you can’t make a decision on whether or not to get rid of an item, put it in a review box for a specified period of time. When time is up, it should be easier to make the decision. I would recommend having a limit to how many items can go into the “review box.” It should only be used on very select items and as sparingly as possible. Again the goal is to reduce the clutter in your home and make it more functional and beautiful.

Toss & Recycle. Much of the clutter in your home could actually be trash. Here are some items that are the most obvious to throw away and recycle whenever possible:

• Junk mail, old magazines and newspapers.
• Expired food, make-up and medicine. Check with your local recycling center on how and where to dispose of medications safely. If in California,CALRecycle has list of where to take sharps and medications.
• Clothing that is damage, stained or ripped beyond repair .
• Boxes that are damaged or no longer useful.
• Broken toys, games and electronic equipment.

Donate. An easy way to declutter your home is to donate items you don't use, but are still in good condition. Donating to a family, friends or a local charity is a great place for used clothing, furniture, CDs/DVDs, toys, tools and so much more.

Schedule. Once you have decluttered your home, the best way to keep it that way is to set up a daily and weekly maintenance sessions. Taking fifteen minutes everyday to tackle the mail, put toys away and organize the entry or mudroom. At least once a month file away papers in your inbox, organize the pantry or review your closet for pieces that could be donated.

Are you ready to conquer the clutter in your home? There is no better time than today.

Happy New Year! Happy Organizing!

Book Review: Pretty Neat & Chance to Win $250

When gazing at beautiful images of meticulously organized rooms, color-coded closets and flawless family schedules, does it make you think you are not measuring up? Some suggest at least 80% of of women feel organizationally challenged. Wow. Could this be true? Buttoned Up’s co-founders, Alicia Rockmore & Sarah Welch sadly found this to be the case when interviewing hundreds of women for their new book, Pretty Neat: The Buttoned-Up Way to Get Organized and Let Go of Perfection : Simply put, many thought their “imperfect” ways left them short of the mark organizationally.

In the introduction, Alicia and Sarah state, “Chasing perfection fuels something we call organizational inertia, a type of paralysis that makes it virtually impossible to get started. All too often, the most difficult part of getting organized is knowing where to start. If perfection is the objective, paralysis makes sense. Keeping your house, work and schedule magazine-ready requires a superhuman effort to achieve and constant superhuman vigilance to maintain. The goal of getting organized isn’t necessarily to have everything picture-perfect, but rather to eliminate inefficiency so that you have more time to do what you actually want to do.”

Pretty Neat is just that. The book drives home that getting organized can be approached in a practical way and insists women need to stop holding themselves to ridiculously high standards. Once readers get past these psychological hurdles, the book provides simple solutions for taking control of their time & stuff without having to become anal. Pretty Neat’s collection of road-tested tips from real women show busy people how to:

* Take charge of to-do lists
* Tame inboxes
* Temper toy tsunamis and more!

I love this simple solution found on page 103 for helping reduce clutter in our closets:

Place a large cloth bag or two on the floor of your closet. Each day as you stare at your wardrobe, ask yourself three questions about one piece of clothing, a pair of shoes and an accessory: 1. Is it flattering? 2. Do I love it? 3. Does it represent who I am today? If the answer to any one of these questions is no, put the item in the cloth bay straight away. Don’t rationalize. When the bag is full, take it to Goodwill. Repeat as necessary until your closet only contains clothes, shoes and accessories that you truly love and wear.

Wanna win $250? I would love to here your best organizational tip or shortcut. Share your tip here by commenting on this post no later than December 31st at midnight! The reader who submits the best tip across all participating blogs will win $250.  The winning tip will be selected by Alicia and Sarah of Buttoned Up and announced on January 10th.

Can't wait to hear all of your get tips for getting organized!

Halloween Clean-up & Prepping for Thanksgiving...

Halloween 2010 was especially exciting for us - great weather, fun trick-or-treating and a huge San Francisco Giants win in the World Series!

The festive weekend has us all moving a little slower this morning. And it seems that the day after a big holiday is always filled with mixed emotions:

Sad to see it all go by so quickly.

Happy for it be over.

Bummed about cleaning up.

But, looking forward to the next holiday.

Yes, I've started prepping for Thanksgiving. Above is a sneak peak at the linens, China and place-cards we'll be using this year. Haven't even thought about Thanksgiving or need some inspiration? Here are some fun ideas on setting and decorating your table for Thanksgiving to get you in the mood.

Today I'll be cleaning-up, taking down and storing all the Halloween decorations. What's on your list of things to do?

Step-by-Step: Preparing Your Home & Family for an Earthquake or Disaster

With September being National Emergency Preparedness Month, my local NAPO {National Association of Professional Organizers} hosted a sobering presentation on Earthquake Preparedness by a professional from the USGS. We were told that there is a 62% probability for one or more magnitude 6.7 or greater earthquake will strike the San Francisco Bay Area region from now to 2032. {yikes!} It is also reported that only 57% of people have readiness items set aside in their homes for use in disasters.

But, of course it is not just the people in earthquake country that should be getting their home and family ready in case of an emergency. As we have seen from recent disasters around the world, being unprepared can be devastating. Many put off creating an emergency plan because it seems like such a time intensive and expensive project. The emergency plan checklist by Buttoned Up breaks it down into smaller tasks that can be accomplished in 20-30 minutes increments {download free here}. Using the emergency plan checklist as a guide, below are helpful tips and links to preparing for a catastrophe:

One: Organize Your Emergency Plan

Your family may not be together when a disaster occurs, therefore it's essential to plan in advance how you will communicate and get back together in different scenarios. 

• Establish a contact. Because it may be easier to make an out-of-town call, identify a contact {ideally out-of-state} your family can call and who can also relay information.
• Make a contact list. Provide a list of contact phone numbers to all members of your family. For cell phone users, program that person(s) as "ICE" (In Case of Emergency) in your phone. If you are in an accident, emergency personnel will often check your ICE listings in order to get a hold of someone you know. Also, make sure to let your family and friends know that you’ve listed them as emergency contacts. 
• Subscribe to alert services. Many communities have systems that will send instant text alerts or emails to let you know about such things as bad weather, road closings and local emergencies. To sign up, visit your local Office of Emergency Management website. 
• Establish a meeting place. Select two meeting places in the case your family is separated in an emergency. The first location should be near your home. The second should be out-of-state or further away. Also, review possible evacuation routes available in your area online.
• Learn about school and work plans. Find out what emergency plans are in place for your work and child's school.
• Share the plan. QuickShare My Emergency Information is a form you complete to create an email text that includes basic emergency information you can share your family, friends and neighbors.  It  provides your contact information, emergency contact, out-of-town contact and your neighborhood meeting place. Here is a link.
• Prepare Your Home. Identify items in your home that need to be secured in the case of an earthquake. For complete information on making your home safer visit, Home Quake Safety Toolkit.

Two: Document Your Valuables

To be reimbursed after a catastrophe need a list of the items in your home. Recording with a video or camera the items you would want replaced is a great option. Also, documenting room to room all valuables {artwork, electronics, jewelry, rugs, furniture, clothing, etc.}.  To make the task a little easier, Buttoned Up has created a binder, Valuables.doc that breaks down the big job of making an inventory into eight smaller steps.

The next step is to store the video, photos or list safely with your attorney, accountant or family member.

Three: Get Your Records Ready

One way to organize for an emergency is to create a Home & Life Binder. The binder holds the most critical information for your home and family, so you’re never without it when you really need it. It should be kept in a safe, yet handy place. Assuming you have a computer and printer, creating the binder is a fairly easy DIY project - here's how step-by-step. If you are not the DIY type, the Life.doc by Buttoned Up is an all-in-one binder of forms that makes it easy to keep track of crucial information such as health, finances and life. A CD-ROM with interactive forms in PDF format is provided so you can complete the forms digitally, save them to a computer and email them to others.

Four: Prepare Your Emergency Kit

Ready America, recommends the following items be included in a Basic Emergency Supply Kit:

• Water, one gallon of water per person per day for at least three days, for drinking and sanitation
• Food, at least a three-day supply of non-perishable food {canned & packaged foods - include cooking utensils}
• Battery-powered or hand crank radio and a NOAA Weather Radio with tone alert and extra batteries for both - this one includes a flashlight!
• Flashlight and extra batteries
• First aid kit
• Whistle to signal for help
• Dust mask, to help filter contaminated air and plastic sheeting and duct tape to shelter-in-place
• Moist towelettes, garbage bags and plastic ties for personal sanitation
• Wrench or pliers to turn off utilities
• Manual can opener for food (if kit contains canned food)
• Local maps
• Cell phone with chargers, inverter or solar charger

This is a list of additional items to strongly consider adding to an Emergency Supply Kit:

• Prescription medications and glasses.
• Infant formula and diapers.
• Pet food and extra water for your pet.
• Important family documents such as copies of insurance policies, identification and bank account records in a waterproof, portable container.
• Cash or traveler's checks and change.
• Important family documents such as copies of insurance policies, identification and bank account records in a waterproof, portable container. You can use the EFFAK Emergency Financial First Aid Kit - PDF, 277Kb) developed by Operation Hope, FEMA and Citizen Corps to help you organize your information.
• Emergency reference material such as a first aid book or information from www.ready.gov
• Sleeping bag or warm blanket for each person. Consider additional bedding if you live in a cold-weather climate.
• Complete change of clothing including a long sleeved shirt, long pants and sturdy shoes. Consider additional clothing if you live in a cold-weather climate.
• Household chlorine bleach and medicine dropper – When diluted nine parts water to one part bleach, bleach can be used as a disinfectant. Or in an emergency, you can use it to treat water by using 16 drops of regular household liquid bleach per gallon of water. Do not use scented, color safe or bleaches with added cleaners.
• Fire Extinguisher {get training from your local fire department on how to properly use a fire extinguisher}.
• Matches in a waterproof container.
• Feminine supplies and personal hygiene items.
• Mess kits, paper cups, plates and plastic utensils, paper towels.
• Paper and pencil.
• Comfort items such as books, games, puzzles or other activities for children.

For those in earthquake country, have each member of the family keep sturdy shoes, whistle and a working flashlight next to each bed. The shoes will protect feet in the case of broken glass. Also teach everyone in your household to use  the whistle or knock three times repeatedly if trapped.

Here is a link to purchase  Emergency Kits and other helpful products you may need to complete your survival kit at home. 

Also, find out how to keep food safe during and after and emergency by visiting here.

Five: Discuss Your Plan With Your Family

Set a time to meet with all members of your immediate family and those that live with you to discuss your emergency plan together. Let all know where to find the emergency kit{s}, locate important information and who has the documentation for household valuables.

Is your family ready for a catastrophe? If not don't delay in preparing. Planning for a disaster sounds depressing, but when complete will reduce any anxiety or worry you may be feeling.

Plan ahead and be safe!
