Have you ever looked at someone's website and decided you should be friends? Or found yourself incredibly envious because they are doing everything you dream of doing... You want to be arch enemies, but meet them and realize they are the nicest thing EVER! That's Aby. Promise me that once you visit her website you won't abandon me... #makenewfriendsbutkeeptheoldoneissilverandtheothergold:)
The 2010 Los Angeles NAPO Organizing Awards... Aby was my roomie and winner of BEST ORGANIZING BLOG, we're pictured with my chica Deborah Shearer of Organize.com. Here's a post on the Organizing Awards and another when Aby was a guest on The O Myth! And I almost forgot... Aby did a guest post a while back on Scrapbook Organizing. #loveher #toldyouso
Ok.Ok... I'll stop gushing over Aby and let you take a peek into her home office!
A Sneak Peek into the home of Professional Organizer Aby Garvey of Edwardsville, Illinois, owner of simplify 101.
HER ORGANIZED SPACE: Home Office
HER ORGANIZING TIPS:
1) The more you love how an organized space looks the more motivated you will be to keep it organized! Infuse your organized spaces with creative, personal touches. Use containers you love. Add elements that make your space look and feel like you. You’ll be happier and more productive.
2) Don’t spend time searching for the perfect organizing system. Instead, give a system a try and then tweak it until it works great for you.
3) Remember that being organized is a combination of organizing projects and organized habits.During the project phase you sort, declutter, select storage and set up your organizing systems. To stay organized, you need to develop the habits necessary to use your new system consistently and effectively.
HER ORGANIZING STYLE: Creative and eclectic! And I have a thing metal buckets.

Lovely, calming space. I want that desk! Although my office is well organized, it isn't very attractive. I aspire to Abyness.
