Tips To Organize Your Home BY JENNIFER FAUCI
pring cleaning means refreshing your living space with some new home goods purchases and reorganizing your current décor. But cleaning and reorganizing your home is not as daunting as it may seem. According to organizing expert Jill Pollack, doing these simple tasks will prevent you from taking on too much at once and might even make you feel differently about maintaining order at home. The most important thing to start is to create order at the doorway as it’s the first place you come in and last place you leave. “It’s a place for your keys, a coat that is easy to access, so create that system,” said Pollack, adding that double hooks for hats, bags and backpacks is a great idea. Next, get your drawers in order. “Create a life surgery drawer,” said Pollack of organizing the junk drawer that almost everyone has in their home. “You know you need paper clips, hair bands, a section for gum or mints. When you need it, you need it.” As for the closet, if you didn’t wear
Donate your clothes so your closet is more accessible and open. something last spring or summer, chances are you’re not going to wear it, so get rid of it. Pollack recommends investing in felt covered hangers so nothing slips off. “The linen closet is one of the most non-emotional places to do. You need two sets of sheets for every bed, not five. Get rid of old or excess towels
and washcloths (have a nice set of everything and upgrade one in a while) and donate them to dog shelters and homeless shelters.” It’s time to clean out the fridge. Read expiration dates, check for freshness, clean the shelves and start fresh. “The kitchen is the stomach of
the house. Anything you don’t need but is still good, donate,” said Pollack. “Keep the cheeses, meats, dairy and fruit and vegetables in a designated spot for easy access and to know where everything is.” Most importantly, know your storage options as finding a place to put your everyday and seasonal items is crucial when maintaining an open, noncluttered living space. “Bed Bath and Beyond has everything, it’s a one stop shop and they also give you coupons all the time,” said Pollack of where to buy your storage and organizing needs. “The Container Store is a little fancier, but Target, Home Depot and Lowes work as well.” Pollack noted that teacups can be used as jewelry holders and colanders can be used to scoop up kids’ bath toys. “There are so many organization hacks, so assess what your needs are before you buy a bunch of supplies,” she said, emphasizing to go sturdy and strong for storage devices. “You can measure dimensions so you know what will fit and what you need before you go looking for it and don’t waste time.”

Poppy No Welt Full Swivel Chair
nterior designers Mitchell Gold and Bob Williams choose to welcome spring into their homes with an inviting place to sit. The design firm’s new Les Petite Seats are just some of the new designs to celebrate the brand’s 30th anniversary. Less intimidating than a large armchair and more enticing than an end chair, MGBW’s beautiful new petite chairs come in a variety of jewel toned colors that will be a fabulous edition to your living room—or throne room—this season. “When we first started designing chairs, we thought about every view,
since they are often floating in a room,” said Bob Williams. “We love that a chair can be sculptural, like a work of art.” Mitchell Gold added that he “loves the way our new petite chairs allow you to have extra seating, and bring people closer together.” “They’re incredibly comfortable, even though they’re smaller in scale,” said Gold. Visit the Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams showroom at 1900 Northern Blvd., in Manhasset or online at www. mgbwhome.com and pull up a seat with one or more of these beauties to enhance the level of sophistication in your living space.

Eastern Redbud Tree
Forsythia
Spring Is In The Air BY KAREN MUSGRAVE
specialsections@antonmediagroup.com
I
f you have ever traveled down the Northern State Parkway on a warm sunny spring day, you likely noticed the beautiful trees and shrubs bursting with color. Bright yellow blooms and pretty pink and white flowers grace the way as you travel to your destination. You may have even wondered, “What is that beautiful plant?” Those hardy plants are not just for the roadways, you can also enjoy them in your own backyard. Grab a trowel and head to your local garden center and get some inspiration for this season’s spring blooms that is a step outside the box of carnations and marigolds.
Forsythia
One of the most recognizable spring blooming shrubs on Long Island, its long stems produce brilliant yellow flowers. This hardy plant can be used to create a living fence between neighbors or as a specimen along the back of a border planting. Bring the outdoors in by soaking cuttings in a vase indoors to bloom.
Eastern Redbud Tree A spectacular spring bloomer with very showy pinkish purple flowers held tightly on bare branches, the leaves appear after the flowers and have a beautiful heart-like shape. The Eastern redbud is the perfect small ornamental tree for homes of any size.
Dogwood Tree Fothergilla
dogwood Tree Everyone is familiar with the flowering dogwood tree. It is famous for its large yet delicate blooms in spring and excellent wide-spreading form. In the fall, the leaves of the dogwood tree turn a brilliant red. It is known to attract birds, making it a favorite of bird lovers.
Purple leaf Plum A stunning accent tree that resembles a cloud of fragrant spring flowers in spring, deep purple foliage graces the tree well into fall. If you are looking for a tree with leaves other than green, this tree will easily become your favorite.
Fothergilla One of my personal favorite spring bloomers is a plant called Fothergilla. Also known as the bottle-brush plant, fothergilla is an often unknown but really beautiful spring flowering plant. Spikes of fragrant white flowers appear in mid spring followed by bluish green foliage in the summer. The leaves turn a brilliant red in the fall. It is perfect as a standalone plant in the garden, or used as a medium-sized hedge for screening. Spring is in the air, so choose the trees and shrubs that will make every spring one to remember.
