Freshly Pinned: Organization Inspiration
As if I didn’t mention Pinterest enough in my last post, here I am with some additional inspiration found by way of that addictive site. I mean, what would the new year be without visions of becoming ridiculously organized?
Truly, you should see me eyeing corners of our house these days thinking of all the organizing I can do. Since I don’t have the time to get really organized, I thought I would share some of my favorite ideas that I’ve seen around the interwebs.
If I ever have this many rolls of ribbon, I’m in serious trouble. But it would be worth it just so I could hang them like this!

I have bobby pins scattered all over the house. I could honestly buy a new package every couple of months and still not know where to find any. Obviously I need this:

Someone on Pinterest commented that this must be at least a hundred dollars worth of cleaning supplies. But they sure look good, right!?

When I first added our docking station, it looked really good. These days it’s a disaster. Maybe I need to try something like this? If only they would make all devices plug in at the bottom. My BlackBerry plugs in on the side, so it doesn’t line up nicely…

Shoe storage is an ongoing issue in our entry way (I even wrote about it last year). I like how this looks. Do you think the owners actually put their shoes in it?

Oh, and I have one more to include. How cute is this little soap station on a cake stand?

If I could accomplish one of these things this year, I would be happy. What about you?
Loving the shoe organizer cleaning product holder….

I love the green cake plate for the soap storage. That is so stinkin’ cute. I would totally do that, but then my 8 year old wouldn’t be able to reach the soap in the kitchen, and since she helps me do dishes-I am so NOT doing that. LOL. I like the shoe storage you pinned, but I notice that it seems a little shallow for adult shoes. (At least if you have large feet, like my hubby and I do.) I think it would be fun to design and build your own, it is only boxes after all, but I know it still takes a lot of time. I look forward to seeing what you come up with Erin.

I hope I do at least one of these, Toni! But who knows! And yes, I am wondering if the soap storage is more cute than functional. Hmmm…i will have to look for a cake stand at Goodwill!

I was/am that someone who mentioned it must be $100 worth of cleaning supplies. Haha.
I still love the organization of them, though!!

That is a lot of cleaning supplies! I guess I have bunch too, but they are mostly the same I just keep them in the different bathrooms and kitchen. I like that ribbon hanger also. Too bad I have taken all mine off the spools.

I know, it seems like more cleaning supplies than necessary!

Love the cake stand idea. We have such limited counter space, that might help. If I could just sort and organize my wardrobe into its varied sizes I’d be happy. I’m hoping to slowly fit into the smaller stuff, but can’t get rid of the bigger stuff if I plan on more kiddos.

Love the cake stand soap display idea. That would look so much better than the little plastic tray my stuff sits on right now!

I know! I am seriously considering making this. If I can’t find a cake stand, I might go the route of a candleholder and plate glued together…
