Organization

Spring cleaning and organizing is going on over at Thrifty Decor Chick , so in the spirit of organizing I'll share with you a few things that I have done. Above you see a laundry basket that I have covered with fabric to match my bathroom curtains. I just made basically the same bag that came on the laundry hamper and then attached it to the already existing laundry bag.

When we moved into the house we're in now we remodeled the bathroom and it didn't have quite enough storage for my taste, so when I saw this hutch in an antique mall I decided it would do the trick. I added more of the fabric I used for the laundry hamper for the windows to the hutch. You'll see below that when the hutch doors are open everything is neat and tidy in baskets that have blue and white striped liners. I bought those cute baskets at Target. I actually bought a lot of those baskets and used them to organize my lingerie drawer in my dresser, seperating socks, undies, & slips, etc.

In the corner of the counter I use another one of those baskets to keep my makeup and I always cover it with a clean white wash cloth, which I use and replace daily. I probably have fifty of those wash cloths.

Here in the entry of my home is a small table which houses a pretty box to collect the mail my husband rarely reads, l.ol. My keys hang directly above. Believe me, this has been a life saver, because before I had this system, I was always losing my keys.

Below you can see how pretty that box that holds the mail is when it's closed.

Here's another good place to store magazines, in this beautiful ottoman. I love ottomans because I love putting my feet up. This one just happens to be a storage ottoman.
