Ideas & Inspiration

Some fun organizing tips!

April 5, 2012 By Living Solutions Interior Design

 I don’t know if any of you caught it, but on Saturday evening, HGTV aired a special called “CLEAN FREAKS.” It was fabulous!!! 

Host Sabrina Soto toured the nation for the most organized people and shared some of their tips. I heard about it earlier in the day from Jen at iheartorganizing because she was one of the featured organizers! Today I thought I’d share a few of my favorite tips from the show…

~ Using a paper towel roll holder for storing bangles and bracelets ~

~ Using rubber bands wrapped around the edges of your plastic hangers to make the hanger “non-slip” instead of purchasing expensive non-slip hangers ~

Rubberbands around plastic hangers = non-slip hangers

~Using a wine rack for towel or magazine storage {or other fun crafty things!} ~

Wine rack as yarn storage. Brilliant idea, though I'd have to reserve some slots for actual wine!

~ Using a peg board for just about anything…craft supplies, jewelry, etc. ~

~ Using velcro strips for picture hanging ~

Velcro Brand Removable Picture Hangers, 3-Inch x 1-Inch strips, White, 6 sets (91650), for hanging curtains on French Doors?
So your pictures won’t get knocked crooked!

~ Using a “Wanted” board or something like it to wrangle lost items from the laundry ~

Not an organizing tip, but a great one, nonetheless! 

~ An in-ground trampoline ~

A sunken trampoline like this one by Sixx Design takes care of most of the safety issues that plagued trampolines in the past. (via sixxdesign.com)

unless otherwise noted.

 If you happened to see it this weekend, what did you like best? Any other great organizing tips? I’m still working on organizing our home one step at a time! Hopefully I’ll get around to sharing some of my progress soon!
