Many years ago a teacher told me that you could steam out a dent in a piece of wood (one where the wood fibers had been compressed, not a where they had been removed) using a wet rag and an iron. This technique was meant for unfinished wood, but unfortunately, most of the wood we deal with in our homes has some sort of finish on it.

Increase your productivity with these email management tips - Memphis Business Journal. Today, there are so many methods of electronic communication available to computer users, but in the Corporate World, email is still king. The prevalence of email at work presents several challenges in trying to remain productive. Oftentimes, it seems like we are faced with email messages coming in almost every minute.

This type of inefficiency, coupled with a high rate of incoming messages, can lead to some fairly frustrating moments with one’s computer.

Decorate. 31 DAYS TO AN ORGANIZED HOME. My Laundry room is also my main entry, so it has to be tidy. Which means my laundry room closet was a natural place to store all of the un-pretties: tools, cleaning products, board games, flash lights, chicken feed....anything I didn't have a spot for and didn't wan to look at. And because I don't have a craft room, I was trying to store craft stuff in there too. It was a mess.
I don't normally like to show "before" pictures because, well, they aren't pretty and I like my blog to be full of pretty things. But here we go: The closet was such a mess that I sometimes didn't even want to try to put things back once I had taken them out. I contemplated taking the craft stuff out of the closet so that there would be room for all the miscellany that belongs there, but I decided instead to put up shelves for the miscellany and dedicate the closet entirely to crafts. (The crafts closet will be a post all it's own, once it's done. Here's a what the laundry room looked like before the new shelves: Sneak Peek- Library.

My kitchen pantry is the subject of this weeks obsession: Pantry Organization. I like my pantry to be “merchandised” like a corner store.

A space to inspire me to whip up a yummy treat or grab a quick snack. Note: if you would like to tour my Midnight Beach Kitchen, check it out HERE. Here are a few views from outside the pantry. First of all, you must be able to see well in your pantry. Another essential ingredient for a great pantry is an electrical outlet. An extension cord taped down taut keeps the ever useful toaster oven hidden out of sight in the pantry as well. I like to keep chip bags, bottles and other not uniformed packaging in larger bins or baskets. The popcorn machine is neither rarely used or light, BUT when we had it with in easy reach, we ate 3X as much popcorn. I love these bushel baskets I picked up at a yard sale. Tips for and OCD Organized Kitchen | Burlap & Denim.
