{Resolution: Organization} GreyGrey Designs

In honor of my New Year's Resolution to continue on the path to organization now that I have a baby, this week's posts are going to be spent discussing getting organized. A few of my favorite bloggers agreed to help me cover this topic, by sharing where and how they store all their party goods. 
(Plus I love a good behind-the-scenes peak!  Don't you?) 

First up is Brittany of GreyGrey Designs. 
I've been an avid reader of Brittany's blog for a long time. She throws insanely creative parties of all kinds as a a former wedding and event planner turned work-at-home mom. Check it out if you aren't already following along at GreyGrey Designs. 

Brittany was kind enough to share with us where she stores all her goods, and to explain her systems. Here's what Brittany had to say:  

Hi everyone!

This is Brittany from GreyGrey Designs.

I run a boutique party planning business out of my home, and so organization is key for me. 

Luckily, when my husband and I found this house a few years ago, we were shocked at how much additional storage it had. I have claimed the upstairs bonus room closet as my party/miscellaneous closet. It runs the entire length of the room, so this picture is really only half the closet. That room is also our dogs' room. We have a Great Dane. Trust me, they need their own rooms. 

For me, clear Rubbermaid containers are absolutely essential. If you follow my blog, you might see some recognizable pieces from some of my parties!  The top right two containers are fabric. It seems that I have 3 or more yards of fabric leftover from every party I do. I have one for glassware, one for paint, one for crafting tools and art supplies, one for miscellaneous serving pieces, one for ribbon, and even one strictly for feathers. I know, right? It may not look organized to you, but I can find everything I need within a few seconds. 
Now, this room looks like this right now because I am not in party shopping mode at the moment. But, when I am in party-shopping mode, this closet floor will be littered with Hobby Lobby bags!
Hope you enjoyed this peek into the party skeletons in my closet!
