Another easy organize fix

                

   Simple Human makes a lot of great products including this stainless steel grocery bag holder. This is a simple solution to those bags being stuffed and stored all over the place. This is also one of those things I always saw and thought about getting but never have- until now.

                                       
My pantry shouldn't be allowed to be called just that...its a very, very small closet in our kitchen! My husband and I always shove the grocery bags in the corner as you can see. 

The grocery bag holder comes with really strong adhesive already placed on the top and bottom of it. All you have to do its peel it off and it mounts right on to your closet- I even installed it myself! Hahaha! It fits right on the inside of the closet door. I bought it at Bed Bath and Beyond. Its only $9.99 and about $8 with the 20% off coupon.

Industrial wire toy storage I love!

  I knew I had to order this for Max's room as soon as I laid eyes on it! His room is modern so it actually added to the look of his room. I love the industrial, raw look of it.


  I was worried it wouldn't fit many toys, but it does hold a lot. This is a piece he will have forever. Its very masculine and not childish at all. Later in life, he can use it for DVDs, magazines, books, Cd's...the possibilities are endless for this storage unit. I truly love it! It looks so cool in his room. I purchased it from Restoration Hardware Baby & Child.

 I'm considering buying the matching piece below since its on sale as well. I love how it mounts on the wall because Max's room is very small and we have limited space remaining.

Another embarrassing before- but a nicely organized after!

            Not too bad- but definitely not organized

Max's drawer before adding drawer dividers

Max's drawer after adding Good Grips drawer dividers

I told you I'd be posting another drawer today! This is an easy fix for a messy drawer. No matter how many times I refold the clothes in the drawers, they keep getting messy! I have seen this product again and again and finally bought them. I'm so happy I did because the drawers look great and it will be much easier finding Max's clothes.  I separated short sleeved tees, long sleeved tees and his sweats. I did 2 of his drawers and now I'm addicted! I want them for all of the kids drawers!



Purchased at Bed Bath & Beyond

I should have done this years ago! Before & after pics

I should be ashamed!


  This is a shot of Max's sock/underwear/hat drawer. This was on my organization must - along with many other drawers in my house! I bought Good Grips expandable drawer dividers at Bed Bath & Beyond for $19.99 (less with 20% off coupon). I wanted to buy them since having Chloe 4 years ago but never did.



   They are super easy to install...took 2 seconds.


  Look at  the results! I want to do every drawer in the house! Doing another drawer of his tomorrow...pics to follow!
