Something about Tupperware makes it so fun to organize!

:::Tip of the Day:::
Each drawer you have can be better organized with boxes & containers! Especially your desk- so when you need to use these items all you have to do is pull out the specific container- keeping your supplies all together, wherever you need them!

"In the kitchen, all packaged foods should get their very own jar with a nice handwritten label. Because cereal boxes are ugly. My favorite jars come already labeled."

~Those who know me well will understand why I highly recommend this article!~

*Also, can be used to store almost anything & in just about every room of the house!
--Cotton swabs, pens & pencils, silverware, toothbrushes, plant food or plants themselves, napkins, push pins, and so many more!

Your inner OCD will thank you.

Have a love for decorative boxes and bins but feel like they don't coordinate enough to be on display? Or have old photo boxes that need a new use?

Don't feel bad about using them to store items you have tucked away! You love them & will get to see them each time you open a certain cabinet or closet door!

Boxes and bins can double as a makeshift drawer on a shelf, an organizer inside of a large drawer to keep items separate, or even in your car to hold CDs if you prefer to keep them in their cases.

A bedroom closet can be more than just clothes storage.

This closet boasts:
- a small bookshelf: keeping dust away and your sleeping quarters less cramped
- pull out wire drawers with room for out of season shoes and accessories
- a shelf that holds two decorative boxes containing sunglasses and easily accessible jewelry (placed so they are easily paired with any outfit while getting ready!)
- the T shirts on the far left are folded and placed so you can view each logo instead of having to pull each one out to choose
- even a shelf with bins that function as extra drawers pace to make use of the closet depth without having to pull items from the front to access those hiding behind them

If you live in a small space, have more jewelry than will fit in your jewelry box, or (like me) have more jewelry than you usually wear but still need a place to keep the spares--- here is an idea for you!

Using a decorative box (a bit larger than a photo box), a repurposed rock collection organizer, some small clear storage containers and leaving some jewelry in the boxes they came in, I have created a way to organize my extra earrings, rings, watch bands and more.

Depending on how often you need to access these items you can either place the box with the lid on or off on a shelf that is easily accessible in any room you prefer!

* Inexpensive Organization Tip of the day!*

Don't have a label maker? Or you do, but you have items that require larger labels for easy viewing? Try duct tape!

Here we used a white colored duct tape to cover up most of the 'noise' on these shoeboxes enabling a cleaner, legible look without having to purchase extra storage boxes.

Plastic bin and drawer storage can be particularly useful under bathroom sinks where like items can be grouped together for easier access.

With everything labeled, and easily viewed through clear storage, you are able to find what you need quickly & easily.

Notice that I have only stacked bins two high. If you stack too many it becomes a hassle to navigate and can be more troublesome than useful!

I have also left space between the bins & the doors for over cabinet storage which can hold hair dryers, and other items that you would use on a more frequent basis or are too bulky to fit into the bins.

This is my ONLY filebox. GASP! I know, seems too good to be true...but with advances in technology we are able to scan and electronically file our paperwork. There are many options including cloud storage, external hard drives, USB storage, or even compact discs.

For documents that are accessible online, or if you like the 'paperless' route with bills & statements, I would highly recommend saving a copy offline for your records. This way you have at least two sources for all important information.

This last piece of advice brings me back to why I still have a file box. Even though there are many ways to digitally store receipts, statements, photos and any other item that can be scanned into your computer, there are still important documents that you should always have a hard copy to fall back on in case of emergency.
- important healthcare information
- social security cards & birth certificates
- wills and other legally binding paperwork
- animal and/ or child adoption paperwork & medical records
- car maintenance history
- warranty information for large purchases

** if you are curious as to whether or not you should keep a hard copy of an item please feel free to contact me!
