Show Us Your Life: Organizational Tips

I don't always, but this week I decided to link up at Kelly's Korner for her...

Show Us Your Life: How You Stay Organized

I'ts funny because if you had walked into me and my sister's room in high school then you would never have guessed that we would grow up to be organizational queens. I LOVE to organize and repurpose things in homes to freshen and change them without actually purchasing anything.

#1 Tip: Baskets &/or Tubs

I love baskets. They hold everything include all those little knick- knacks that have no home but you don't want them to be seen by everyone who comes in your home. I actually bought a cube shelf at Ikea last summer that I turned on it's side put my TV on it and baskets in each hole to pajamas, tank tops, books, movies, and lot's of other stuff. It allows me to only have one dresser and free up space for crafting :)

#2: Organize your Closet by Color

I know this sounds crazy but it's amazing how easy it is to put clothes away and keep your closet looking neat. It also makes it easy to find what your looking for if your in hurry. I also recommend shoe organizers. I have all of my nice shoes in shoe cube organizer's and my flip flops in a basket. This allows me to see what I have and again makes your closet appealing to the eye.

#3: Mini organizers

I'm not sure what they are called but they are the notecard size pendaflex style folders. I actually got this idea from my sister. I have slots for everything and it keeps my purse so much more organized. For example, I have a pocket for gift cards, personal receipts, work receipts, church receipts, coupons/discount codes, checkbook, deposit slips, etc. When you have something quick like this to pull out when your shopping, it keeps from losing things as well as your purse from looking like a disaster like mine tends to get.

What tips do you have to keep your home organized?
