how to organize with baskets

June 1, 2017 by lorrin sell 1 Comment

Baskets are the first thing I look for when I am trying to get organized. I mentioned before in my crazy awesome organization ideas post, that I am not an organizational goddess.

That said, I am always on a mission to be more organized.  Knowing how to organize with baskets is crucial to my survival.  Haha!  I love baskets, and I love that most of them hide the junk inside.  

I don’t like being able to see papers, and other random things, even if they are organized.  It looks messy to me.  I have enough mess in my house, trust me- I don’t need to add anymore.

4. Use them in your pantry to organize snacks instead of leaving snacks in the boxes they came in.  This one trick has helped me in a couple of ways.  I always know when we are running low on snacks, and need to replenish. And since the kids never throw away the empty boxes, I’m not constantly annoyed when I notice yet another empty box!

6. Set one by the door in the winter to hold hats and gloves.  That way you’ll always know where they are.  The only downside to this is if you have young children, you may end up with hats and gloves all over the house.  On the other hand, if you have a little one that can’t go far, this may give you something to entertain them!  😉Knowing how to organize with baskets is crucial for our home to stay organized, and not look cluttered.

7. Use them to organize your refrigerator.  It’s funny because I decided to do this maybe a year ago.  I have absolutely no idea how my refrigerator functioned properly before this.  (you can actually get these baskets or similar ones at the Dollar Store.   You can find a whole list of things you should never spend more than a dollar on- here!)

    Your linen closet looks great! My only fear in using baskets is that they allow me to keep more things that I might not need. When I feel that I have to buy more baskets, I’ve learned that I have to first make sure that it’s not just a sign that I need to get rid of “stuff”.
