This short video from Slate is probably more funny than practically useful, but I am all for repurposing things you already have, being creative and having a sense of humor. Mother is the mother of organization!
Found this useful piece from Huffington post about making the most of the kitchen space you’ve got. Most of us are not going to have kitchen cupboards like Oprah, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be great anyway.
Woke up this morning with the temperatures far below zero, fantasizing about that first magical jacket-free day we’ll have here in New York City. When otherwise stoned-faced and smartly dressed New Yorkers emerge from their apartments, giddy and un-self consciously, in last years spring fashions, practically skipping down the street.[…]
Who would’ve known the conversation about clutter would make it’s way to the Op-Ed pages of the New York Times.
A very touching article about hoarding and relationships

Liz Savage’s calm, good cheer, insights and natural orderliness turned tasks I had been dreading into projects I could actually accomplish- and sometimes even ones I could enjoy!
Elisheva, Manhattan
“I was awed, I was grateful. Liz was the one. Within two days, she had waded through everything, consulting with me over what to toss and what to file under which category. We came up with dozens…and she created a place for each, writing the headings onto manila folders that she dropped into hanging files in the double-wide, teak-finish filing cabinet I had bought at Ikea five years earlier, but had never made much use of. “
As seen in the New York Times
“We had a large closet in our front hallway that needed some serious attention. After speaking with Liz about our specific needs for the project, she quoted me a very fair and reasonable price and we made it happen. We spent a great afternoon together going through everything and reorganizing. We couldn’t have done it without her.”

Liz is amazing. We met at a time when I was moving apartments and needed to deal with large amounts of clutter in order to make packing, and the overall move, work. She helped guide me through a huge, thorough and complete cleaning and reorganizing process that changed the way I use- and see- my living space. I can now get use of things because I can find them, and also because I have less. She truly helped me shed the unnecessary.

“Liz is a magician. She comes over to a place of chaos, works her magic, and leaves behind order and calm – and me feeling a lot happier.”
