Hometalk is where people share and help with everything home & garden

There's nothing like organization to make a house feel like HOME.

Today, I'm wrapping up the Organization 101 series at Inspiration Cafe. We've spent the past few weeks clearing out the clutter, deciding what to trash, donate or keep. Join me as I share tips on what to do with the "keep" pile. #OrganizedHome

Baskets are wonderful for corralling the clutter.

These bins are an inexpensive alternative to baskets. They can be used anywhere in the home from the pantry to the bathroom.

Being organized and decluttered actually "declutters" my brain! Thanks for sharing your ideas and tips to help those of us who are always planning to get around to it! It is inspiring!

Always great ideas Sharon. Have you ever dreamed of managing a container store so you could play with ideas all day long? I have.

Great post with some wonderful suggestions. I completely agree that you don't have to use a space just the way a builder set it up. We moved our washer and dryer to an underutilized closet upstairs and love having it closer to our bedrooms.

I have some bathroom shelves that are in a bad way. I don't like them as they are but the cupboards they are attached to are all but useless. They are tall, deep and narrow. Am hoping you all can inspire me with ideas to solve this problem.

Sandra, the best way to get help would be to start your own thread (by clicking on the red "post/ask" button at the top right of every page on HT) with photos of the area in question so we can see just what you're working with. Also let us know what type of items you want to utilize the space for.
