However, I love having our household items organized. While I could blow the budget at The Container Store, I have found a free alternative - shoe boxes.
I usually save our empty shoe boxes and have found several ways to use them as organizing tools.
In the top of this closet, a small shoebox holds extra light bulbs while a large one holds appliance instruction manuals and warranty information.
In a boots shoebox in the top of our daughters' closet, hats are stacked.
My older daughter used a shoe box lid along with several empty jewelry boxes to organize some of her jewelry in a drawer.
Card games are corralled in a box in a hallway closet.
Hair brushes and accessories live in a box in the cabinet underneath the bathroom sink.
Is there an inexpensive tool you've found useful for organizing items in your home?
I stock up on the photo boxes when they go on sale at Michaels, and I love the clear rubbermaid containers with lids from the dollar store!
ReplyDeleteYes - those clear containers from the Dollar Store can be used in so many ways!
DeleteI hadn't thought about using shoeboxes like that. What a great idea! Usually, I buy the cheap plastic containers that are the size of shoeboxes and are about $1 each.
ReplyDeleteYou and Aurie think alike! :)
