31-year-old Alejandra Costello from Washington, DC, offers tips and tricks on how to organize your house best. You will clearly see from the pictures of her house that there is a place for everything and everything in its place. I've never seen anyone being such a "neat freak." But at least, she knows where all of her stuff is.
Neat freak: Professional organizer Alejandra Costello showed off her home in a recent video
Spick and span: The 31-year-old lives in a condo with her husband in the Washington, DC area
Immaculate: She proudly showed off the pantry in her kitchen, which is meticulously organized
Nothing mixed up: Her spices and vitamins sit on separate lazy Susans, which are labeled
Label queen: Her cans all face outward, and dry goods are stored in air-tight containers with changeable chalkboard labels
Type A: She even has a separate tea container where her teas can be divided by type
Every detail: To stop her silverware from shifting when she opens the drawer, she installed a drawer divider
All tucked away: She added two-level shelves to her cabinet in order to store more plates and bowls; she also keeps pictures and magnets on sheet metal inside the cabinet
Smart move: Her pans are stacked vertically so they are easier to pull out
So clean: Alejandra's home office also serves as her personal craft room
All visible: Crafting supplies are stored in clear containers, with some items hanging from a peg board
Brilliant: Storing ribbons in a peg board makes them easy to pull and cut, while color-coded file folders ensures everything is easy to find

Colorful: Alejandra has a rack for wrapping paper
and spots for files and folders
Reminders! She also has separate compartments for mail so she doesn't forget about anything
Sections: Pens, pencils, highlighters, sticky notes, rubber bands, and glue all have their own spots
Maxing out the space: In her closet, Alejandra has a pull-out drawer for her jewelry that can be hidden under her clothes
Tips and tricks: She hangs long necklaces from hooks, which prevents them from getting tangled
All the details: She also separates her clothes into categories and separates them with labels
Eye-catching: Color-coded clips on the hangers help her see quickly what type of clothing she's looking at
Recycling: She uses a towel rack to hang scarves on one end of her closet
Put it away: Alejandra noted that bathrooms can have lots of clutter, so she keeps hair accessories and make-up hanging on the back of her door
More space: She also has a storage-enhanced shower curtain liner for extra soap and hair brushes
Just grab it: Inside her medicine cabinet, she hung sheet metal — which allows her to store her most-used items on magnets
Favorite spot: Alejandra loves her linen closet, where she has medicine and sunscreen neatly put away in clear bins
Making the most of it: She and her husband turned their sunroom into a garage-like room for storing more stuff
DIY girl: Sports equipment is kept in a cage made out of bungee cords for easy access
