Do you have organization on the brain like I do?  January is a fresh start, and the closets would like a fresh start too!  Not to mention the kids toys, the pantry, the laundry room and the list goes on.  One of my favorite places to go when I’m feeling the itch to purge and re-organize is The Container Store.  It’s like Target on crack!  The options are beyond what you can even imagine.  So, I thought I’d show you a few things that I love from this store and a few things that are on my wish list.

(1)  So, I love the colored storage boxes with labels.  I’ve printed labels out so they stay uniform and looking nice.  The kids always know where to put their toys and things.  I got mine at Ikea, but they look really similar.

(2)  This is on my wish list.  I love the poppy colors.  I’m thinking I would use these flatter boxes to store artwork and projects that come home from school.  I hate clutter like no one’s business.

(3)  Another wish list item…storage has to functional, but you don’t want your home to look like a 1st grade classroom.  I love the nautical inspiration here and I would totally use this to put all our blankets.

(4)  Simple natural fiber baskets.  I feel like I have a million of these, but there’s never enough.  They look nice on shelves and fit all the ugly stuff like wii remotes and movie cases.

(5)  A hands down favorite.  My laundry room is filled with these.  It’s hard to see, but these plastic baskets have handles on the front.  I’ve organized all my supplies, like bathroom cleaning, floor cleaning/dusting, laundry cleaning, etc.  So each ‘theme’ has it’s own basket…making it quick to grab it from the shelf and take it to the area that needs cleaning without having to go back for things I forgot.

(6)  Big ol’ plastic stackables.  I like these for my kids’ shoes.  They each have one and they can toss them in and no one ever has to look for matching shoes.  Oh and I have one for the backpacks too.  All hidden away inside the closet!
