Get organized
HARDCORE DO IT: Hire a personal organizer to descend upon your disastrous pit of a home and work their Type-A magic. For $50, Jennifer Bardorf of Neat Spaces (617.759.1767; www.neatspaces.biz) will help you sort your piles of papers and oddities, while Sarah Buckwalter and Kate Altieri of Organizing Boston (617.699.1263; www.organizingboston.com) will get you organized and help you with time and financial management.
JUST DO IT: Transform your clutter into serene décor with the Grassy Organizer ($10.50) from Bowl and Board (1354 Beacon Street, Brookline, 617.566.4726; 255 Elm Street, Somerville, 617.661.0350). Or order custom-designed shelves from the Door Store (940 Mass Ave, Cambridge, 617.547.8937).
SCREW IT: More clutter! Pick up adorably kitschy popculture knickknacks from Buckaroo’s Mercantile (5 Brookline Street, Cambridge, 617.492.4792), like an Audrey Hepburn snow globe ($10), pinup girl lanterns ($18), retro cocktail coasters ($14), or a cartoon Jesus ashtray ($14).
