It's that time of year again! People are loading up the truck and moving to new places and new spaces. I want to thank my friend Monica Ricci for showcasing our SpaceScaping® Kitchen Organizing System in her blog today! This is a product I developed after working on many move-in jobs with clients with boxes and boxes of kitchen stuff to unpack. The labels help you save time by planning your kitchen before unpacking everything and changing your mind... and then they help you find things faster temporarily until you get used to the new space. Monica advocates using them permanently on the INSIDE of the cabinets, so that others who might be cleaning or sharing your kitchen space can refer to the labels when putting things away. Great strategy!
In celebration of our appearance on Monica's blog, I will be giving away 3 sets of the SpaceScaping® Kitchen Organizing System labels to our readers! To enter, just comment here, and I will pick the winners by random number drawing on July 2nd. (one entry per person, please!)
I look forward to announcing the winners next week!












I just remodeled my Kitchen and with kids ranging in ages 8-13 helping put dishes away, my dishes are now a disaster waiting to happen. I need a system to help all of us put things away in the right place.
Thanks for holding this contest!!

What a good idea! I'm sure the labels would be a great help.

I love your website and great tips. We're moving 3 kids and a dog in a few weeks, your labels would be an amazing help.

I have purchased the Simple Division® Garment Organizers
and love them; especially for my husband's side of the closet. I can't wait to get my hands on the SpaceScaping® Kitchen Organizing System. I know that I will win one. I love being organized.

I'm actually moving this weekend and the first week of July, including all new furniture. It's a nerve wracking process but being organized has really helped me keep things moving AND keepmy sanity!

Personlly, I have found it easier to photograph the interior of the cabinet and tape the photo to the inside door.
I love your closet hanger organizers. I have the luxury of having a cleaning woman to do my laundry and put my clothes away, I tagged the closet pole organizers, in English and Spanish and wow! It's amazing, she can put the clothes away in the proper sections and I can find them.
Look for me to blog about this in the next week or two at my blog.

I'm not moving, but I could sure use some better organization in my kitchen!

Hi Lori: I saw this product some time ago, and thought it was wonderful and the price VERY reasonable, but I don't have any plans to move, so I passed it by. After reading Monica's post, however, I'm seeing this product in a totally different light. I have a roommate with two teen-age children that NEVER put anything back in the same place twice. This product would be perfect for my CURRENT situation, and I don't even have to move to use it! I can see how this would be good for MOST families that would like the kids to help around the house a little more. And now that I think about it, I'm going to get one for my daughter so she can encourage her husband to put things back where they belong!!
Thanks!

Would love to win this...we just moved into our new home and am amazed how much stuff was in storage! I see a yard sale in our future...

I am in the middle of a nightmare kitchen remodel (my happy hubby is insisting on doing it himself) and these could really be a lifesaver!! Thanks for all you do to help us improve our homes and lives!!

I'm a REALTOR, and am always looking for good ideas for gifts for my clients. This looks like it would make a great house-warming present, but I'd like to try it myself first, so winning a set would be perfect! Do you offer bulk discounts?!

I love the labels. I ordered them the first time I saw them. I am always looking for things. I would love to win so I can give these to my daughter. Thanks so much for sharing.

My husband and I will be moving early in August. This will be our first move, so any help organizing our things would be greatly appreciated!

I liked your article about using hanging bags to organize thin objects. We're moving in August, so the organizing system would be really useful!

I think the kitchen organization system is a wonderful idea. My family's excuse is they don't know where anything goes so they leave it for mom to do. If I won, I could re-organize and my family would have to help because now there would be no excuse about not knowing where items went.

I just moved 3 months ago into a temporary apartment, and will be moving again in 4 months into a permanent townhouse. This system would certainly come in handy!

I did a DIY version of this when I moved house in December (I've only recently discovered your site, via a cyber-friend who is a PO)and it really helped me to plan in advance. Now I'd like to have a permanent system in place so that other people using the kitchen can find things and put them away too!

I'm not moving, but I could sure use some better organization in my kitchen! We have people over all the time. I do have two friends that are moving and will suggest they use them.
Posted by: Pam | July 01, 2008 at 10:02 AM
I think this is a great site and a great contest! I move in 4 weeks! i could really use this for organizing my stuff.

I have moved to a new place and still have a disaster. I will love to win!
