Space Camp’s blog for all things organizing.
Mother’s Day is right around the corner, and since it’s my first year as a mom I decided it would be fun to make a gift guide of what the moms of the world want right now (at least, what I want right now 😜). I hope this helps spark your imagination and make the hardest-working women you know happy and surprised.
Read MoreSpring cleaning has always felt like a double edged sword to me. On one hand, the weather is getting nicer, the days are getting longer, and I finally feel like I have the energy to tackle some projects that have been on my list all winter.
Read MoreI had a baby nearly four months ago and I’m here to tell you, as a new parent, you will use a few things all the time and everything else very few times. Like every person embarking on parenthood, hindsight is always 20/20. I’m here to be your guide and tell you what has been invaluable for me and what I’d definitely recommend skipping.
Read MoreTell me if this happens to you, too: you think of things you want or need throughout the year (or ideas for family and friends), and then when the holidays come around you can’t remember any of it. Welcome to my life, especially as a new mom. In an effort to help you with your holiday shopping (and honestly, help myself too in the process 😜), I’ve written down some things my team and I have been loving and using consistently this year. They aren’t necessarily organizing products, but they are tools to make living easier, better, prettier, or more enjoyable. Let’s go!
Read MoreEven before I had a baby on the way, I used to love to brainstorm about how we’d eventually make space for another person in our small home someday. I’ve always wanted to be a mom, so preparing for this baby has been really exciting. This has been a dream project because I’ve gotten to combine my Space Camp skills with creating a new haven for my baby! If you have a baby on the way, I hope some of the solutions we’ve come up with will help you turn your ideal nursery into a reality (and have fun while you’re doing it).

Read MoreAs someone who has struggled with various degrees of depression and anxiety for the majority of my life, I can tell you firsthand that often it’s a compilation of little changes that makes a huge difference in how you feel. A quiet breakfast with a good book or a slow walk in the park can turn your whole day around. But there’s another magic recipe that can help you tiptoe your way out of a difficult time in your life - organizing your space.
Read MoreSpring is (finally) in full swing here in Los Angeles and that means it’s the perfect time to revamp your wardrobe and give your closet a makeover. Here are our foolproof steps for editing your wardrobe, organizing your closet, and maintaining it for good.

Read MoreI don’t know about you, but time is just flying by this year. May felt like it was approx. one week long. But, I guess we got a lot done that week? Here are a few projects we worked on and fun things we did, hopefully you see something that will help you bring more joy and calm to your life!
Read MoreApril has been a busy month. Here are a few things we were up to!
Read MoreLast week I had the daunting task of traveling to Wichita, KS (where I was born and raised) to help my sister clean out a storage unit full of our childhood stuff. Boxes and bins of photos, video tapes, baby clothes, toys and books. Whew, I’m exhausted just writing about it.
From an organizational perspective, tidying anything that has sentimental value can be difficult. Whether it’s clothing we’ve grown out of, dishes that have cracked (but we used to love), or a couch we spent a decade watching movies on, choosing to part with something that has defined an era of our lives is emotional.
Read MoreThere’s no way around it: moving is stressful. But the good news is that moving to a new home is also an opportunity for a fresh start. Here are our favorite tips to help you manage your move as gracefully and calmly as possible.
If your family or friends are looking for a little more simplicity and organization in their homes, here’s a round up of our favorite tools that will help make the process easy, fun, and beautiful.
Read MoreGetting into the creative zone can be a lot like working out. Just getting your sneakers on is often the biggest hurdle in going for a run. And storing your yoga mat in an easily accessible spot means you’re less likely to skip your practice. Likewise, having your creative space and tools organized and easily accessible is half the battle. But how do you do that without letting the mess take over?
Read MoreIt’s hard to know exactly how to define Bre Chiero. She’s a gifted photographer who’s also an art director and a stylist. When she reached out to me in October of 2020 to schedule a consultation to organize her studio space, I looked up her Hungry Hipsters Instagram account and I was stunned; Bre’s feed is truly a work of art. Her use of color, her intricate flat lays, her unique styling -- I was so incredibly impressed I immediately became a superfan.
Read MoreAlyssa Coscarelli is a lot of things: fashion writer, sunglasses designer, creative consultant (to name a few). But to me, her most defining characteristic is her creativity and how it translates into her signature style. She builds effortless outfits from the most incongruous pieces, and she’s personally inspired me to step outside of my usual jeans/t-shirt/dress box. But while Alyssa may be a mage when it comes to putting together outfits, the clothes don’t appear out of thin air. Sourcing, collecting, and wearing clothing is her job, and while she has a unique ability for accumulating a lot of it, she’s also left with the complicated task of figuring out how to store everything.
