What are your favorite things that you have bought/used to keep your house organized?

Re: favorite things for organization

I placed a small basket on a ledge next to my front door. When I come home I immediately put my sunglasses and keys into the basket. I always know where they are.
Next to my front door I have a bench with baskets. Shoes go into the baskets. It is also really nice to have a place to sit to take my shoes off.

In my kitchen under my sink I have my trash can. Next to it I have my shredder. I look at mail and throw away what I don't need and shred documents with sensitive info. What I need is a system to get other things to be filed. Those seem to pile on my dining room table.

I just came across this organization site today (tons of lists) for free

We put a wall organizer (got it from Pottery Barn) in our kitchen that has slots for mail, hooks for keys/purses/light jackets, a shelf for wallets and sunglasses, a dry erase weekly menu, and a cork board. It's a life saver!

Thank you for sharing! I love lists and writing everything down...this is perfect for me!


To answer the OP, we just moved in and I've hardly bought anything as far as organiszation goes Chat Icon We have a file folder for all our important papers, we plan on getting a filing cabinet for my school stuff, and we have a bunch of storage bins. We're also very lucky and have alot of storage space in our house.
