My Favorite Organization Pieces

Let's get a head start on spring cleaning! Finding functional organization pieces can be hard but if you look in the right places, you might just find what you really need. We are renting a small two-bedroom townhouse in which we are not a huge fans of poking big holes to set up hanging shelves because we'll have to literally pay for them in the future. LOL So as much as possible, we look for pieces to store our stuff that can double as storage and decor or table top surface. Do you have any secrets? Comment to share! :)

Ikea Trones
These sell for $40 for a set of three. We didn't hang ours because we're renting therefore, more holes in the wall equals less deposit back. But I love this because they look very discreet and it's a great space saver!

Stackable Trunk Set
Got mine at this store called Taipan but you can I have seen similar boxes at Wayfair.com, Home Goods, Marshalls and TJ Maxx. These are perfect for the little purses and clutches that I so love!

Watch Box
Ron got ours at eBay. Just like the shoe boxes, it makes everything easy to find and easy to organize.

Clear Shoe Boxes
Got mine at Costco for $18 for a set of 18 boxes however you can find them at the 99 Cent Store. These are great because you can see what pair is inside them and it's easier to decide what to wear.

Stackable Shoe Rack
I loooove these because they are so multi-functional. We use ours for shoes and we use its top for our mail and (sometimes) keys. I am deciding if we should get another one to stack on top of our current two that are stacked together but we'll see. :)

New Kids in Town

Not really kids and not really new in town but I have never introduced them! Two months ago, Ron called me after work to tell me that he got a fish tank. I was so opposed to the idea of having a fish tank. First because we are just renting this townhouse - I'd rather have a huge aquarium in our permanent house than have a little temporary one. Second, I don't want to end up taking care of the little fishies. LOL.

So one Sunday, Ron took me to the fish store where Daniel the fish guy walked me around to show me my our choices and share his recommendations. I picked the Zebra Danio because they're striped and the Black Phantom because it has a cool name. Ron named the zebra ones Khloe and Lamar and the phantom ones Kim and Kanye. He's really supportive of my pop culture favorites!

We're still so obsessed with it and  every morning, when I go downstairs and when I get home, I ALWAYS check if they're all still alive. LOL

Have you guys ever had a pet fish? I actually have when I was 8 (I think) but I dropped it in the sink. LOL
