Ohhh and one more thing...Jen, (Can I call you Jen?)<br />Ohhh and one more thing. Your little closet office is ABSOLUTELY dreamy. Just downright incredible. Where did that fabulous wallpaper come from? Was it expensive? Have you done a post on that transformation? I'm guessing the wall hangings came from Ikea? Where do you live?<br />A thousand questions, I know. Just found your blog a few days ago and love it.<br />Tootles!Hollie Carsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02455108347642924923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-44218563555298272832011-01-13T09:17:50.124-06:002011-01-13T09:17:50.124-06:00Thanks Jen for your reply.

We have an extra room for my youngest, but I want them to get used to sharing everything we have. My eldest just turned 4 in December. There is a tiny closet, so I'm chewing on what to do with the system, esp with dresses. I'm definitely going to have my 4 year old start putting her clothes away on her own. I taught her how to put them away yesterday, but I do need the clothes "folder". Thank you for sharing about how you do this with your boys. I'm very impressed! My daughter Laney loved it actually. <br /><br />So, a few questions:<br />-At what age do you start with folding and putting clothes away?<br />-Do you have tall dressers or long wide ones? <br />-If tall, do you have a step-stool for them to get to the taller drawers? <br />-Do any of your boys share a room? <br />-Do you have bunk beds or are they all in one massive room? Hee-hee.<br />-Do you have friends who have girls who do this? <br /><br />Thanks Jen! I love your blog and will be checking it consistenly.Hollie Carsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02455108347642924923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-12093948626908401562011-01-13T09:11:12.956-06:002011-01-13T09:11:12.956-06:00Hi Jen!

They each have their own dresser, jackets are stored in the kitchen/coat cabinet and shoes are in the shoe closet. As far as why we choose dressers over closets, is I think because it's easier for the kids to help put away their clothes and pick out their clothes. Here is a post that we did on their clothing storage system: http://iheartorganizing.blogspot.com/2010/03/march-featured-space-kids-clothing.html<br /><br />We really try to limit how much the kids have for clothing inventory, as their drawers can only hold so much. Here is how we choose to handle their hand-me-downs as well: http://iheartorganizing.blogspot.com/2009/12/you-asked-iheart-answering-kids-clothes.html<br /><br />Hope that helps some! <br /><br />xoxo,<br />JenIHeart Organizinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05084013302005288836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-73515314233410421652011-01-12T16:19:23.908-06:002011-01-12T16:19:23.908-06:00One tip I learned a while back regarding file fold...One tip I learned a while back regarding file folders is make sure the tabs are all in the same spot.

Where do you put your children's outgrown clothes or clothes to be grown into? I buy clothes for the next year when I see sales and stash them away in a storage tub. Our garage is RIDICULOUS and is filled with so many storage tubs. The clothes that are outgrown are for the younger sibling. Ahhh...What to do? I saw that you didn't have any in your garage? Do you keep them in your attic? Get rid of them?Hollie Carsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02455108347642924923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-38893375867040287072011-01-12T11:03:59.420-06:002011-01-12T11:03:59.420-06:00Thank you so much for your tip about the legal siz...Thank you so much for your tip about the legal sized box.
