Today's Show & Tell Tuesday link up is on the topic of organization. Living in a small space certainly reduces clutter, yet there is always still stuff to clean up & organize here. Today, I will show a just a few ways I like to keep things organized.
I bought this magazine last fall while in the states & enjoy looking through these type magazines for inspiration. I would encourage you to do the same!
This is an advertisement from a store in Bogota. They also advertise organizational containers at this time of year. After Christmas is a great time to organize, throw away, & streamline papers, & donate things.
These are my favorite, most often used, & practical organizational tool I have. These are all empty lemonade containers (which we use a lot of!) that I use to organize art & office supplies. Basically, clear containers seem to be a great way for organizing most things, whether it be office or beauty supplies, or food items.
It is a super handy way to keep things separated. I don't have a label machine, but it is pretty clear how I have things organized.
A peek into my closet...these are bins I bought to organize make-up & hair supplies. Of course, if you have drawers in your bathroom, that would be a great place for these things too, I just don't have that here. Drawers are great, but usually do need some sort of organizer inside of it if you are putting little things in there. I particularly am a big fan of drawers in kitchen cabinets.
This is a small rack that I use for most of my jewelry. I am not sure what this was originally designed for, but I like using it for my bracelets & shorter necklaces. I keep earrings in a separate tupperware-like container.
I keep my longer necklaces on an over the door hook that hangs in my closet. These are too long to fit on the previous jewelry container.
My scarves all hang on a plastic hanger in my closet.
While in the states, I bought a cheap pair of shower hooks (maybe for just a $1.00) & put them on a plastic hanger.
It has been a great scarf hanger....easy to see what I have, easy to remove, & easy to return to its place (which is a key point in organization!)
In our den, we have 2 storage cubes. I am also a fan of something that does double duty. These storage cubes have lids & inside contains our throw blankets, & a few misc. electronic things. They serve as a foot rest & tables for drinks, etc. These are also great because they can fold down, so they are easy to move. We had a coffee table/storage bench we used in Memphis & really liked it too. It is on loan to our niece now.
This is just a small glimpse into organization tips from the Bridges home. Neither Avery nor myself are extreme on neatness all the time, but we do like a clean house with clean lines. We are use to living in a small space, so it has trained us to be organized & clean in many ways. I hope you've found something helpful & would love to hear any of your organizational tips too!
