One of my biggest issues is organization. I need big time help in that area. Organization is one of my main goals on this journey. I have got to be more organized. I need to see what we have and what we need. There have been times when I really needed something that I knew we had, but I couldn't find it. So what would I do? I would go buy more. Big money waster and also a time waster (all that time I would spend looking for the lost items).
Our home is a 1400 sq foot brick rancher built in the late 70's, we have no space. I am constantly trying to find ways to create storage. When I saw this on Pinterest, I thought it was genius. Someone, much more clever than I, put one of those hideous hanging shoe racks in a closet and used it for storage. I have seen these hundreds of times in the stores and all I ever saw was a shoe rack, which is why I LOVE Pinterest.
I got my hanging shoe racks at Wal-Mart for $5.87 each. If you are lucky you may be able to snag one at a yard sale or your local Goodwill for less. I hadn't seen any at our Goodwill and I felt like they were reasonably priced at Wal-Mart.
P.S. - If you noticed I have multiple of one item (I am a former extreme couponer, still have a big stock pile and I would like to get back into it soon)
Happy organizing!
Hi, Kim! Another great organizing tool I saw on pinterest was rods (like the shower curtain rods, but in different sizes. I forget what they are specifically called though). You can use them in numerous ways for organizing.
ReplyDeleteI think I have seen the one you are talking about! Sometimes I just don't know what I did without Pinterest all those years. Such great ideas on that site

Hope to see you next week :)
Thanks for stopping by. I stopped couponing after my son was diagnosed with infantile spasms (seizure disorder), too much to keep up with at that time. Now that he is better and off meds I'm trying to get back into it.
