PERSONAL SPACES

Does your child’s bedroom look like this? Or more like this View image. A new company, Personal Spaces, (214.261.1000) run by former Container Store staffers, has put together some summertime organizing tips for our blog readers. Personal Spaces is a new division of Delivery LTD., a respected moving and storage resource for interior decorators in Dallas. For tips, click below:

* Make your kids’ rooms easy for them to clean, not you. Give them a hook to hang their backpack on, and put it close to where they study.

* Vertical stackers, just like the ones you use at the office, will keep their desks neat.

* Make a pizza date with your kids once a month to go through their rooms and organize. Let them pick the music.

* Get a container to store games in. Once all those handles and cords are out of the way, everything looks so much neater.

* If you only do one thing, this should be it: Buy an iPod. CDs are hard to organize and take up a lot of room. Compare the size of an IPod that holds
5,000 songs to the mess that 300 plastic CD cases can make.
