Emily is Jared’s sister. You’d never be able to tell since they look nothing alike, have a completely different sense of humor, and both hate Kansas. Okay. I’m kidding. They look VERY much alike, have the exact same sense of humor, and both adore their homestate. I love Emily. She is closer to my age than Jared is. She takes my side and we can pick on Jared together. We like to shop together at antique stores and Hobby Lobby and Old Navy and Maurices. She does my nails (she is a nail technician) and my girls nails. She is one of the most sharing and giving people I know, she opens her home to us when we go back to visit. (which can’t be easy with my 3 messy kiddos.) Emily just had her first baby a few months ago, and now I get to share the bond of motherhood with her. It’s great. Sister-in-laws are the bomb, and I don’t even care if saying “the bomb” is totally uncool now. We get to see her and her sweet family in less than 2 weeks now, I am excited. So onto the guest post. When we stayed with Emily last, I noticed she had her desk in the guest room closet. I thought this was brilliant. Save space, and look organized at the same time! Here you go:

How to Make the Most Out of Your Space

Whether you live in an apartment, house, condo or cardboard box, space is usually an issue. My husband, my extremely cute baby, and I live in a decent size house, yet we still run out of room. My options were to either make my husband move out, or figure out a different way to come up with space. I decided that the closet in our spare bedroom was just wasted space- no one stays in that room or hangs anything up, so why not put it to use? Closets can make awesome offices/workspaces. I turned this closet into my scrapbook-ers paradise. You can put a small desk in the closet, and arrange all of your items in baskets or boxes on the closet shelves. It made so much more room AND my husband still gets to live here.  Its a win-win situation.
