Let's get Organized! Ideas {From the Archives}


How about a little round-up of past ideas I have shared on organizing around the home?

In the kids room:


Use vintage suitcases to keep all that fun dress-up organized.

Organize your kids Lego manuals.

In the craftroom:

Empty toilet paper rolls, perfect to organize lace and trims

Make an inspirational cork board using an old frame.

Keep those precious vintage laces and trims tidy in a vintage travel case.

In the office:

Make a weekly color-coded family calendar!
In the bathroom:

Use empty candle jars to organize your make-up.


I'll admit, since we are in this temporary apartment,  I haven't been doing any major organizing, but I do find myself constantly organizing bits and pieces here and there.  

Have fun organizing!

Organizing Lego Manuals

Did I ever tell you my little guy loves Legos?  He sure does.  He can spend hours building and building more.  Some of his results can be pretty darn amazing.  What I don't find amazing are all the Legos spread through out the house.  No-se-rie-no!  But I guess that's a small price to pay (and a lot of complaining to clean up) for letting his imaginations thrive.  Right?  Right.

Like the lego pieces I find all over the place, the lego manuals were also getting out of hand.  I tried keeping them in a clear bag for him, but when ever he took one out, the rest would end up out as well.  Then one day I saw this.   A binder to keep them organized.  Well, now isn't that just a clever idea?  So I got myself working and made one similar.

 
Using an empty large binder and a three hole punch I began my work.


I hole punched each manual and inserted into the folder.   Because some manuals are too thick, I took them apart and hole punched them separately. 


Finally I decorated the outside of the folder with bright Lego colors and labeled it Lego  Manuals.

When my little guy arrived from school he was excited to find this waiting for him on his bed.  And so far, it has gotten a lot of use and I've not seen one manual laying around the house.  Yey!

Hope your week has been good to you so far.
