It's True! You Can Take the Girl Out of the South, but....

You Can't Take the South Out of the Girl!!!

We have returned from our much anticipated trip to the South and we can't express enough how grateful we are for this experience! Savannah, Tennessee...you are officially the nicest town on the planet!

When Manpacks first asked if we wanted to be a part of their Better Man contest, of course we were thrilled, but to end up with the location and the winner that we did, was a true blessing! However, we would be lying if we didn't say we were a little worried for figuring out the logistics of this project. It's not everyday that the NEAT Method girls aren't near a Container Store!

You see, typically we go into a home, organize the space and then take all of the necessary measurements, counts, space planning ideas and then head to a store that has all of the containers/storage solutions that we could possibly need. In this case, we did it all backwards since the nearest Container Store was two hours away. We picked our favorite storage solutions and crossed our fingers. Overall, we think the results were pretty dang good (if we do say so ourselves!)

Messy Closet, unorganized, lots of clothes, womens clothes

Blair's wife's closet needed some help, especially in the shoe department.

Organized closet, home organization, home, closet, baskets

We stored all of her winter shoes and then added some great racks and baskets for the rest.

unorganized dresser, messy dresser, messy home

This large dresser was a "catch all" for various items.

organized dresser, home organized, brown dresser, wooden dresser

We decided that it would make the perfect place for accessorites and jeans.

mens closet, messy man, unorganized

Blair's closet also had a minor shoe problem.

organized closet, shoe rack, matching hangers

The best solution was an over the door shoe hanger with some great color coordination of the clothes.

unorganized kitchen, book shelves, books, trinkets

This beautiful shelf was used for cookbooks that were in disarray.

organized shelves, books, neat

Just a little magic touch from NEAT :)

Does this look familiar?

Consider choosing the best set and donating the rest!

spices, unorganized spices, kitchen cabinet,

These spices were a little out of control.

organizing tips, spice racks, tiered spice rack, organized

After discarding expired spices and combining doubles, this spice shelf was ready to go!

Kitchen pantry, messy pantry, kitchen food, lots of food

Any finally the ever familiar kitchen pantry!

By moving all children's snacks down and dry foods for cooking higher up, this pantry became a true beauty!

 

Still haven't had enough of our trip?  Check out this video interview of our winner, Blair!

The Real Housewives of NEAT (Part II)

Last week you were first welcomed into Ashley's home with open arms (since she was the oldest). Now, it is time to meet the younger of the NEAT founders. Molly was certainly a little scared of what Ashley may ask her in the interview but as you will see although a little timid at the beginning of the video, Molly was ready to rock by the end.  

**disclaimer** there is some serious white girl dancing in this video - don't say we didn't warn you! And yes, the Ronald McDonald look alike is Molly Graves.

Giddyup! NEAT heads South

models, travel, blondes, luggage

This coming Sunday, NEAT will be packing their bags and heading to Savannah, Tennessee! At the beginning of 2012, we shared that we were a prize for one lucky winner and are so excited that we are finally ready to meet him and his family. In the next week, we will be sharing photos and stories on facebook and twitter so be sure to follow us so you can keep up to date on our crazy shenanigans! We promise, your work week will be a little more entertaining as you follow our experience in Savannah!

P.S. We thought this picture was hilarious - what if we really looked like this traveling!?

The Real Housewives of NEAT!

To all of our loyal fans and followers::

Over the last year we’ve tried our best to entertain you with our projects, tips, tricks and various ORGANIZED obsessions, but we realized we haven’t spent much time introducing you to the girls behind NEAT Method!

Therefore, welcome to our series…The Real Housewives of NEAT! We hope you enjoy getting a glimpse into our lives.

When deciding who would go first, we discussed flipping a coin or having some sort of contest (such as; number of pushups, how many pieces of gum one could chew, or who has more shoes), but instead we just went with the good old age game! Of course, you would never know that she’s older (wink! wink!).  Meet Ashley Murphy!
