If we had to pick just one room in the house to declutter it would be the bedroom! Your bedroom is a place of peace and rest so bringing clutter into this space stains the energy in the room.
So when Homes & Gardens told us they were working on a story on decluttering the bedroom, we were very eager to share our number one rule when it comes to bedroom organization.

We take a deeper dive in a previous blog post. Take a look at our step-by-step guide below.
The holidays are stressful - schedules are packed, guests and in and out, the volume of items in the home multiply - so we always suggest doing a little decluttering before the craziness begins to gain some extra mental and physical space.
We recently spoke with Homes & Gardens about some of our holiday decluttering suggestions.
Other spaces to declutter before guests arrive
We always make sure our guest rooms and bathrooms are ready for guests. We remove any items that have accumulated in these spaces - like that pile of summer clothes on the bed that we haven’t put away yet or any used and/or expired toiletries in the bathroom.
When to toss items can be a controversial topic when it comes to decluttering. Everyone has a different opinion on when things to be replaced.
We shared our recommendations with Reader’s Digest about when to replace houshold items including bathmats, doormats, bed pillows and curtains.

Clients, friends, family (and even strangers) all tell us that they don’t know where to start when it comes to organizing their spaces or they are overwhelmed half way through the project and abandon it.
We get it. It’s a daunting task.
But it’s important not to tackle too much at once - stick to one manageable space at a time.
We recently spoke to Realtor.com and discussed the best organizing projects to tackle based on how much time you have.

How long have you had your business?
I started Tidy Nest with my business (and life partner) in early 2019 so Tidy Nest is three years old. But I have been organizing for as long as I can remember. When I was a child, I would find enjoyment organizing my mom’s coupons, my barbie doll clothes, tupperware containers, etc. In highschool and college, I was super active and had to juggle a demanding schedule so I really honed my time management skills at that stage of my life. Right out of college I started my career in PR and Marketing for real estate brokers in New York City - at my busiest I was coordinating PR and marketing efforts for 85 brokers at one of the top real estate firms in NYC, needless to say I needed to be incredibly organized. As a hobby, I would help my friends and family move, organize their closets, plan their vacations, etc. Order, productivity and organization have always been part of my life.
If you could have any celebrity client, who would it be?I think it would be Martha Stewart - she's the queen of all things organization so if I could get her stamp of approval that's like receiving the highest honor.
What’s your favorite dish at a local restaurant?
I'd say the sole or mussels at Luc's. I order either at least once a week.
What is your favorite splurge?
I tend to justify many "splurges" when traveling. If I can pay extra to cut a line, have a private tour or board a flight first, I will!
Do you have a favorite “hidden gem”?
I don't think I can call this a hidden gem anymore since it has won "best breakfast in CT" but Kitchen Little in Mystic, CT is one of my favorite places. We've been going there for years and no matter how long we're away Jimmy (the owner) still welcomes us with a giant hug.
What is your favorite way to spend a Sunday?
We are usually with clients on Sundays but if I have the day off then it usually starts with breakfast at Rosie in New Canaan followed by spending time at home with our three kitties...inevitably I'm organizing some space in my home, working on a puzzle or spending time in my garden.
What makes you happy?
It sounds cliche but my work makes me happy. There’s real joy in helping to eliminate stress and chaos for our clients - especially since there’s so much of that going around these days. I particularly like the challenge of meeting each of their unique needs with systems that work for their specific lives. We are able to give our clients back their time and create a sense of peace in their spaces - that makes me very happy.
On a non-work level, spending time outdoors with friends and family and traveling as much as possible brings me a lot of joy.
HGTV published “15 Ways to Organize Your Makeup and Beauty Supplies”. One of Shannon’s favorite ways to store makeup and beauty supplies was featured in the article (see slide 8).
Modular System
Keep all your makeup and beauty products in one place without hogging all the bathroom drawers.
It seems like the Original Beauty Box no longer has a website - a great alternative is The Container Store’s Acrylic Modular Makeup System.

“I first hired Tidy Nest to help my basement. The experience of working with them was beyond my expectation. They were meticulous, thoughtful and patient. I have since hired them for three more major projects (including my restaurant) and the results were all the same- fabulous. They gave me back my soaces in a way I could have never envisioned.”
