Organization Inspiration: DIY Clutter Killers

[Image from 10 Organizing Tips from Chez Larsson on Apartment Therapy.]

Like you, I'm determined to make the mythical organized home of my dreams a reality this year. I won't do it by shopping for expensive and unnecessary storage supplies. Instead, I'll be thrifty and creative. Expect more DIY organization and inspiration and tutorials throughout the year.

Upcycled Mason Jar Storage

[From Etsy]

Chalkboard paint and thrifted mason jars make an amazing organization system for crafters and artists. Every item you need is clearly visible and accessible.

Revamped Vintage Suitcases

[From Etsy]

Consider vintage suitcases for storage. They have great visual impact and are easily found for low prices at thrift store and flea markets. I use one for my everyday sewing supplies and one for my drawing supplies. I'll collect and revamp more soon.

DIY Task Boards

[ From Etsy]

Small chalkboards make excellent "daily goal" and "task" boards in your office. Make your own with chalkboard paint or look out for small ones when thrifting. Perhaps you can fashion a clock on one from old clock parts or a kit.

Tidy Sewing Case

[From Katrespaperie]

Just a little inspiration for storing craft supplies neatly. When your craft supply case looks this neat and lovely, you'll be motivated to keep it that way!

Neat Wall Displays

[From Frecklewonder]

I love everything about this display of vintage ads: the wall color, the ads, the neat frame job. This inspires me to get to work framing my collection of vintage ads and other odd collected bits.

Current Organization Progress: Last night I stayed up late to put things back where they belong. Clutter forms so easy when you're busy and live in a small apartment! I'm going to examine where this clutter forms and work on these problems areas for the rest of the week.
