My Favorite Organization Pieces

15 comments
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. :)

How Do You Store Your Accessories?

My coworker and I were walking around the streets by our office the other day and decided to stop by Walgreens, totally forgetting that everything they were selling for the holidays is at least 50% off. I saw this accessory tree with the $9.99 tag, I squinted and thought that if it's part of the 50% holiday items sale, I will get it without getting the go from Ron. I mean, it's going to be $5 and I kind of need it and it was the last one on the shelf. IT WAS MEANT TO BE ;) Before going to bed that night,  Ron looked at it and said, "Lovey, your accessory holder shouldn't be that small, it should be thiiiis *makes a huge air bubble with his hands and arms* big!" LOL He knows me too well!

When I took it out of the box, I was so glad it's very sturdy - no wobbling or anything. So if you live or work close to a Walgreens, check out their holiday aisle and check and see if they still have this available. :)


PS
Thanks to my friend's fiance, J.I., for sending me the black bangle from Hong-Kong! :)
Thanks to my mom for forgetting her chain arm candy, it made the perfect thing to hang from that side of the accessory tree. LOL
