A few suggestions when using modular drawer organizers like the metal mesh ones pictured above:
- Pull everything out of the drawer sorting into prep and serving pieces, editing out anything you don’t use or need.
- Look at what’s left to see what size organizers you’ll need; extra long or wide.
- Using your drawer’s measurements, draw it out on paper to see how many organizers will fit.
- To make it look its best and not cluttered, create a symmetrical pattern.
- For the organizers in the back of the drawer, angle them from back to front for easy access.
- Group things by use to limit searching for things.
- If you have an inch or so left in the back of the drawer, wedge cardboard from a toilet paper or paper towel roll to make it nice and snug.

Although I don’t call myself an eco-organizer, eco-friendly, green, or use any other catchy, popular phrases, I promote a sustainable, ‘living better with less’ lifestyle which is at the heart of environmentalism. I don’t think you have to say you’re something to be it. I’m not into gimmicks, tricks, or one-size-fits-all answers. I help people change the way they see the things in their life; to see them as tools to help live the life they want, not just consuming for consumption’s sake. The term reduce, reuse, recycle is in that order for a reason; recycling isn’t the first step, it’s the last resort. With my process, reduced, conscious consumption is the end result which is the first and most important step to living a more environmentally conscious life (whether you’re looking for that or not).

Now when you communicate with a broker, you can do so by replying to their message via email. You no longer have to log into the site to see their message and respond. You can handle it all through the ease of your email account.
Many of you have requested it and we understand the need for it – you want to be able to respond while on the road, using your phone and your primary means of communication, email. Well, now you can!
You will still have to log in to the site to search for listings and make your initial contact or to see any listings a broker or landlord has sent you. However, once you’ve contacted them or they’ve contacted you, you can respond and communicate by email.
We think this feature will make it even easier to use our site and find your next apartment.
Good luck!
Thanks,
The Naked Apartments Team

Now when you communicate with a renter, you can do so by replying to their message via email. You no longer have to log into the site to see their message and respond. You can handle it all through the ease of your email account.
Many of you have requested it and we understand the need for it – you want to be able to respond while on the road, using your phone and your primary means of communication, email. Well, now you can!
You will still have to log in to the site to search for renters and make your initial contact. Also, if you want to send them new listings after emailing back and forth, you’ll have to log back into the site to do that.
However, once you’ve contacted them or if they’ve contacted you via one of your listings, you can respond and communicate by simply replying to the email that gets sent to you with their message.
In terms of pricing, nothing changes. If a renter contacts you anonymously and you decide to respond to them, you are charged a credit to communicate with them but nothing after that. Also, you’ll still be charged a single credit to search and reach out to a renter.
Good luck!
Thanks,

This particular client came to me as she was re-doing her apartment to make sure she was spending her money wisely and to make sure whatever she did, it was done right the first time.

I love coming up with custom solutions for closets that don’t cost an arm and a leg. This client came to me because she needed to make room in her 2-bedroom apartment for a new baby (due any day!). To do that, this closet needed to hold all her current and off-season clothes, shoes, and bags that were spread out in two closets.

A healthy lifestyle is the key to longevity, optimum weight, abundant energy and balance. By using fruit to satisfy our taste for sweetness, we can leave behind the use of chemical, processed and refined sweeteners. Fruits are easy to digest, are cleansing and cooling and are great for those who are overstressed and overheated from excessive mental strain or hot climates. [Read more →]
