Brooke and I are very different when it comes to organization/cleaning. Brooke’s closet was always color coded while mine had absolutely no sense of order at all. So, Brooke has always been the first one to tell me I need to get a shoe organizer and better hangers and this thing that makes your clothes smell good… Needless to say, I’m glad one of us has our crap together when it comes to the organizing realm. I’ve always thought it was kind of a hopeless idea to think I would ever love organizing my things, but then I walked into the Container Store. It is amazing. It made me want to literally organize every inch of my living space. They have the most genius ideas that you realize you can’t live without. We picked a few of our favorites to show you here:
Magnetic BulletBoard (can use both pins and magnets) It’s not too big, which we have found to be the problem with most bulletin boards. This one is fun to keep meal plans, grocery lists and random thoughts & pictures on. Great for the home or office.
Information Central Mousepad meets notepad! This is saving me. I am SO much more efficient when I make to do lists. I also tend to be much less forgetful when I have it written down in front of me. Love the dual use of this notepad!
Muffin Mover cute + functional. I have honestly thought about how much this is going to change my life when it comes to storing muffins and cupcakes. Bring on the sugar!
Navy & Ivory Rugby Stripe Bins these are great and fit a ton of stuff inside of them! I love them for filling with throw blankets or putting magazines and books in. They would also make a great little toy bin for kids.
Eagle Creek Blue Pack-It Wallaby Organizer the perfect pack for traveling with your makeup… or if you work in TV… for bringing your makeup to work! It can hold an obscene amount of products, while of course keeping them all organized!
If you live in Utah, the Container Store is opening a brand new location at Fashion Place mall on October 18th. It is going to be amazing! We decided it would be fun to give away a $50 gift card for one of you to spend at the new store! All you have to do is comment below by telling us the word that best describes your organizing style (i.e. messy, scattered, orderly, OCD, etc.)
Thanks for reading and happy organizing!
***Update: As of October 7, 2014 this giveaway is now closed. Congratulations to Turell Woodbury on the $50 gift card, we will be contacting you soon!***
My organizing style: ADHD. I get a great start, get about half done, then totally lose the plot, haha! But I could really use some more organization stuff! 🙂

Messy.
Hi, Britney, we met at Title Boxing last week. Your spot was great. My style of organizing would be a combination of scattered and OCD. What a combo.
Scattered!!
Would like to enter for a chance to win a gift card to the container store. Fingers crossed I will be picked as a winner
I still live with my parents and I buy my own groceries. My mom has probably gave me 2Ft. Of pantry space. Do all my good is a cluttered mess. This gift card might help make 2ft look like 4ft by being organized.
I am a combination of messy and scattered. I would love the Eagle Creek Blue Pack-It Wallaby Organizer for when I travel. It would save me from the craziness of continually rummaging through my suit case to find thing.s

I am O.C. D!!!!!
I am O C D !

I hate clutter, so I am ORDERLY.
Can’t wait to go browse the store.
Thanks for the heads up about it.
Is this how you enter the give away ? Not sure if this was how but super excited for this store,I am ALWAYS looking for organization ideas.
My organizing style is cluttered with a desperate hope to someday be organized! Loved your spot on Channel 2 this morning.
Organized mess
My style is scattered
Wannabe is my organizing word. I really want to be more organized but need help with ideas. Your spot on the news this morning motivated me to really focus on this. Can’t wait until this store opens!
Organized !!!
Fabulous!!

I LOVE LOVE the Container Store from living in D.C. and would sooooo appreciate a gift card! I hope you will pick me….I’m desperate for organization! My house looks like a Michaels or JoAnn store since I worked at both and taught jewelry making. Please pleeeeease help me!
Thanks for your consideration!
Twin Power! (yes, I have a twin sister
OCD – my daughter says she wishes our house was a little messy : )

I used to have everything in its place but then I got married and had twins. Now I think I would describe my organizing style as lived in.
Love your show.

I’m am a DISASTER when it comes to organizing!
At this point, the word that describes my organizational skills is un-organized! We just moved into a new house, and I want to make it the best and keep it that way. I plan to make a trip to the Container Store when it opens, and can’t wait for helpful tips and useful items to do so!!!
Orderly and sometimes scattered. Scattered if I’ve been working and neglect the paperwork. 🙂
My daughter calls my craft room the “CRAP” room if that is any indication of what type of organizer I am. I tell her it is organized chaos. 🙂
My organizing style would be “Homey”…. (If that even a word) lol
*trying* lol
I love organization. Saves me time and money. I’m always looking for ways to contain all the craft supples, gift wrapping supplies and sports equipment.
My organizational style is bipolar. I’ve been accused of being very organized, but don’t look at my desk, or in my closet! The container Store is the one place I could max out a credit card to get those beautiful closets. I would just stare and drool just a little bit. I used to live in California, and right next to The Container Store. I lived in a studio apartment, so every little inch of space needed to be used very well.
Let’s just say that my husband and I have two very different ideas about organization! It is always such a challenge to live, well, in chaos. I love the Container Store because it gives me hope! I’m so happy to finally have one here where I can go ‘meditate’ on making progress. My mantra is – One Project at a Time!
My organizing style is “put it somewhere where I can’t see it”.
MY clothes closet is color-coded-OCD. Every other closet is a hot mess.
My word for what best describes my organizing style is: Comfetish
Because, my home has to be comfortable but my need to have a place for everything and everything in it’s place is a fetish.
What does that mean?
my organizing style is “overflowing-grouping”.
I could use these organization ideas and the items too. I have a room and a desk that need help!
Organized chaos (I know that’s 2 words but it’s the truth!)
PERPETUAL!! DETERMINED!! I motivate myself by imagining two different scenarios: 1) I die, and my kids have to go through all my clutter (as I did after my mother died) , OR, 2) I am moving to a Tiny Home–what would I put in the small circle they allow me to keep? I’ve given away, sold, and thrown out TONS of stuff, and it seems never-ending! But, as a breast cancer survivor, I am acutely aware of the need to lessen the burden of “things,” get what I keep truly organized, and do more LIVING!
My organizing style is probably best described as systematic.
I love the Container Store website — Now that they have a store locally, I am positive I will be such a regular customer, that they will know me by name. I’m looking forward to the store opening.
Out of sight, out of mind. I have to see it to know it needs to be taken care of. That ‘To Do Mousepad’ looks great to me. It might allow me to get things not so cluttered.
If I was the only one living here…OCD, but since I am not, and NOTHING gets put back correctly, it is pretty much nonexistent.
My organization style is what I like to call- split personality! My house is organized, with a place for everything. However my car is a mess! With 3 boys good luck not finding something edible, some type of Lego and someone’s stinky sport socks. I would LOVE this gift card please oh please! 😀
Definitely have to have some sort of order and on the verge of OCD.
Just moved in with my fiancé. He is disorganized and I am OCD.
Orderly
OCD. Haha! Once I start, I see more and more that needs to be organized. I’d love to try out some new organizing items!
Orderly 🙂
Somewhat organized:)
Frustrated!!!!
Semi- organized
Non-existent at home and OCD at work. Very strange!
A work-in-progress! I need to find some new ways to store all of the baby gear as my one year old grows.
Going through my piles of clutter TODAY! It would be fantastic to have some help from THE CONTAINER STORE!
Thanks for your tips today on KUTV2! 🙂
OCD
OCD! But…my husband is very messy!
OCD
orderly, but sometimes organized messes 🙂 depending on my energy level!
Tend to be a pack rat but can still usually find what I’m looking for 🙂
Semi organized
I would have to say messy organized. And man wouldn’t this be the best birthday present ever since they open on my birthday:0) Love you girls.
I have the best intentions to be organized… Maybe a gc to the container store will help! 🙂
My organization style is that I go about 90%, then give up 🙂
Scattered
I like to know where the things I need are at all times ,and that my home is clean. thank your great!
orderly, but less so with my baby around!
OCD
Cluttered. I need lots of help.
I am a piler. Pile one here, one there and once in awhile put it all away and start again! I need the totes I think.
My organizing style is simple so my kids (and husband) can keep it up.
Orderly, but only because of stores like this one!
scattered
I try to be as organized as I can with a house full of kids!
Oops, I didn’t see my first comment so I thought it didn’t work. Sorry!
