John’s Spring Organization Tips Featured in May 2014 Real Simple Magazine

Real Simple Magazine features John Trosko of OrganizingLA in the May 2014 issue, available on newstands now.

The Editors at Real Simple Magazine contacted John last January to work on a fun decluttering story for their May 2014 issue. They asked him to imagine that if he was given $500 for an average home—and tell them the must-haves he would buy to declutter, and how would he use each.

For the story, John used a mix of organizational products from different stores including Muji, CB2, Better Office, Uline and Bed, Bath and Beyond. Along with our expertise in "31 Days To Get Organized Now" we worked alongside professional organizing colleagues Beth Zeigler (Bneato, Los Angeles), Stacey Platt (Dwell Well, New York City) and Barbara Reich (Resourceful Consultants, New York City).

The May issue of Real Simple Magazine full of "must-haves and ingenious ideas for every room in the house" is available on newsstands now. We're not able to link to the article online at this time.
