Speaking of organizing, my husband and I talked about cleaning up our closet again. A quick glance inside our master closet will show rows of trinkets and gadgets like DSLR, his camera lenses, small cash box, my accessories, a talking Barney doll and some papers from the bank. This closet is for our clothes by the way so imagine my disgust everytime I have to sort through these things so I can find something to wear. Inspired by a TV show last night, we decided to use plastic storage boxes for each items and then put all the boxes on the bottom left side of the closet. My mission is to make our closet look as if a personal organizer came in and re-arranged all our stuff. I’m interested on those big boxes that has small individual boxes inside so you can separate the items according to use. I’m very excited with this small project because now, I can finally segregate my husband’s stuff from mine.
When you have a toddler, it’s just natural that the state of your house would be, more often than not, in chaos. Not only with toddlers but if you’re anything like me and my husband, you’d fill your house with any type of knick-knacks, “collectibles”, freebies, old furniture, books, cds and cassette tapes (because you can’t let go of the past) and other more junk that you can ever think of. This is why I’m a fan of the TV show “Clean House” because of their organization tips. I also try to read online about de-cluttering articles so I can put order in our chaotic house. One tip that I’ve been practicing for some time now is the use of storage boxes. I saw a company selling acid free and water resistant storage boxes which I hope can stand the test of time (or at least a couple of years). This is exactly what I need because I have tons of paperwork from old work and projects that I’d like to protect them from moisture and other elements. I also like the idea of using garage storage boxes to store old stuff that you just can’t let go of yet. And if I have my way, I’d probably buy those space-saver, under the bed boxes for storing items that you want to have access quickly. Just make sure you label each boxes so you’d know exactly where to find what you’re looking for. I tend to go crazy packing things in boxes that when the time comes that I need to get something, I end up opening all of them.
