Organizing

Josh gives me a hard time because it seems that every time I start to clean a room I feel the need to get more storage boxes.  Really, who couldn't use more storage boxes? Besides that, we have an apartment that seems to get smaller every month -having the organized boxes seems to help me function a little better. Plus the things are so darned handy.

First I did some upkeep in the laundry closet.

I'm collecting vintage hankies/scarves and napkins for some future projects. In the meantime they've been living and falling in the closet so it was time to contain them. These sweater boxes are my new favorite size!

Then I moved on to the bathroom. Thanks to couponing I hardly every pay for toothpaste or deodorant  and I pay very little for feminine products and the few over the counter meds we do take. I try to be reasonable about the couponing, but sometimes you have to get the items you don't need right now because they are free and you might need them later. :)  Boxes help with this, because,  unlike the "extreme couponers" I don't have a basement to stockpile things in ....right now.

The black baskets aren't pretty, but they come in packages of two at the dollar store for $1.35 and they work nicely.  They have smaller black baskets (big enough to separate eating utensils into) (packs for 3 for $1.35) that I used to organize hair products and then  Josh's/extra shaving items into -the hair spray and mouse bottles stand up perfectly in them.

Is there something in particular that you like to use or do to organize?
