Home Organization & Storage Ideas

Happy Tuesday! Just a quick note to say that I haven't disappeared, but I've been out of town and am currently tackling a to-do list that feels seven miles long and am buried in school work and prepping for Benjamin's baptism this coming weekend. I'll be back to posting in a day or two with lots to share from Canadian Thanksgiving and a few other projects I'm working on, but for now will be getting the rest of my life in order.

In the mean time, here's a few recently pinned images I've filed under "home organization." Since I'm busy busy with organizing, I thought they would be quite fitting.

To see more of my pinspirations, follow me on pinterest here.

I have a huge supply of cupcake wrappers, and think I might try to do something like this in my kitchen someplace. Even if it is tucked in a cupboard, I think it looks awesome.
I love this use of space for undersink cleaning supply storage, originally from Apartment Therapy.

Catherine from Cat On A Limb turned a six-pack into a storage caddy. How cute is that?

I love the idea of using binder clips in this way.

And I think this easy DIY jewellery display/storage idea is great.

And more jewellery storage, originally courtesy of YHL. This would be great wall decor in a big walk-in closet or dressing room (neither of which I have, of course, but I still think it is great).

Leave it to Martha Stewart to make a medicine cabinet look so pretty inside.

And this is Martha Stewart's towel-bar-turned-pot-lid storage idea.
BHG's kitchen organization solution.
And I adore this clever and useful display from Liz Marie Blog. Currently I am designing a simple dressing room for someone, and just might have to create something inspired by this.

With all that inspiration, it's back to some organization and other stuff for me.

Come back soon - and, if you left a comment over the weekend and haven't heard from me, know that I LOVED hearing from you (comments always make me happy) and look forward to responding really soon.

  12. Doesn't Martha just always have the solutions!?!? She drives me crazy! Wishing I could have jewelry display like that - instead it's all crammed into a box and I never wear it because I forget what I have! Oh well. Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier. liz
