There's just something so satisfying about watching a messy, disorganized room transform into a functional, stylish space. So it's no surprise that I tore through the latest home organization show on Netflix: Get Organized with The Home Edit. I was already familiar with (and a fan of) The Home Edit, the organization company founded by Clea Shearer and Joanna Teplin, and their products for organizing your pantry (like this lazy Susan). But when I watched the show, I was surprised to see that their organization tips extended past the pantry and into the refrigerator. The Best Ways to Organize Your Pantry, Freezer & Fridge While I like to think my refrigerator is organized, after watching this show I realize that there's massive room for change. And the easiest way to improve the function and flow of my refrigerator is getting storage bins.
