Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: Clutter

Wednesday, February 23, 2011


I like stuff. Not just any stuff...pretty stuff. My husband, likes minimalism. Enter tidyness. It's a must in our home. I was recently quoted in The Nest magazine on a quick tip for storing kids books: I stack them like records in vintage drawers so they can flip through them easily. It makes clean up a snap too.  Here's some other ways to de-clutter your digs.

cutlery drawer and knobs

spool jewelry holder

keepsakes

family memories (time capsules)

mason jars for the bits and bobs

twine or yarn holders

practical genius!

Sooo many great ideas, huh? I also keep my boys toys in clear storage containers organized by toy type. It makes for easy clean up and it's easier for my youngest to find what he needs - I mean, he's 2.5; he can't read labels yet.

What's your favorite de-clutter method? xo

    Great ideas. I especially love the cutlery drawer with knobs. I'm storing this idea for when I move into a much smaller place in the next couple of weeks.

    I love the book idea! Will definitely be putting that one to use as my son gets older. And the spool jewelry holder is beautiful! Thanks!

    Such great ideas! I especially like the spool jewelry holders, and the repurposed cutlery drawer. Very smart.
