Professional Organizers Blog Carnival - Organizing Outdoor Spaces

Once a month here on Your Organizing Business we feature a collection of blog posts by our readers on a specific topic. Now that the weather’s warming up at last, I think you’ll enjoy this month’s line-up of posts about Organizing Outdoor Spaces.

Be sure to read the posts, leave some comments, and share your favorites on social media – it’s a fun way to get some new organizing ideas and network with your organizing colleagues! Please use the hashtag #POBC in your social media posts.

Thank you for stopping by, and a big thanks to everyone who participated in this Blog Carnival. I hope you’ll join us again next month, when our topic will be Organizing for a New Baby. Please make your submission any time between now and Tuesday, June 7, 2016. Until then, enjoy your outdoor spaces!

A former professional organizer, I now eliminate stress for my clients by hosting, monitoring, and maintaining their WordPress sites so they don’t have to worry about security, downtime or performance issues. When I’m away from my desk, I enjoy reading, photography, watching movies, and cooking.

    Hi Janet, This a great list of resources on organizing the garage. Garage organization is needed for every homeowner. But, it always amazes me how many people don’t think it is a part of the home so they don’t organize it. It tends to be a dropping ground. When they don’t want an item in the house, they drop it in the garage. Thank you for including me in this post.

      I know! It’s so common that one time friends knocked on our door, and when we answered, they said, “Oh, you are home! Where’s your car?” It was in the garage…

      It’s pretty crazy when you figure the cost of owning a garage (20 years ago a realtor told me a house with a garage would run about $5000 more than the same house without – and I’m sure it’s even more now) plus the value of the car(s) that’s being left exposed to extreme temperatures, bad weather, and vandals – and all that for stuff that they probably don’t even need or want anymore?

    Hi Janet,
    Darn, I am sad that I missed this Blog Carnival but maybe it will inspire me to write something anyway. I transformed my garage into an outdoor space to hang out in with friends and I have been getting it ready for some goddess women gatherings this summer. I can’t put my car in there though. I look forward to reading some of these posts to get me inspired. Yay for spring and summer!!

      That sounds wonderful, and a much better use of your garage than storing stuff you need to deal with “some day!” If you decide to blog about your transformed outdoor space, please feel free to come back and leave a link to it here.

    Hey, Janet,
    Very useful. Would definitely share to some of my friends. I’ll be waiting for the for next month’s Baby Organizing.
