Energize and Organize: Multi-Purpose, Affordable Storage Containers, Part 2

Happy First Day of Spring!  :-)

​Multi-purpose photo boxes
Photo storage boxes are great for organizing more than photos! These inexpensive, versatile tools can be used to store crafts, office supplies, jewelry, small toys, bathroom doo-dads, and so much more. For under $5 each, these boxes are an organizing best-buy. Label them clearly with a label maker or Sharpie pen.

Vertical space-savers
Over-the-door pocket organizers — usually reserved for shoe storage — are wonderfully versatile. Choose clutter-hiding canvas or easy-to-see-through clear vinyl, depending upon your needs.

• Kids' room:  Hang one in a kid’s room to store Barbie and her accessories or toy cars and trucks. 
• Baby changing table:  Mount one on the wall near the baby’s changing table to hold powder, diapers, and other necessities. 
• Gift wrapping station:  Set up a gift wrapping station with ribbons, bows, tags, tissue, cards, and tape.
• Pantry:  Keep one on the back of the pantry door to hold spice packets, Jello boxes, or kitchen gadgets.
• Bedroom closet:  Use them in your bedroom closet to hold folded clothing like sweaters and T-shirts, or stash accessories like purses, belts, and hats. Get shoes off the floor by popping them into a narrower version of this organizer that holds ten pairs.  Likewise, hanging sweater organizers can keep much-needed items at your fingertips.
• Entryway closet:  They work wonders in an entryway closet. Keep small outerwear — such as hats, mittens, baseball caps, sunscreen, camera, dog leash, binoculars, and umbrellas ready to grab on the way out the door.
