It's official, spring has arrived! In my home spring means organizing. This is the time of year I tackle our unkept closets, clean out the garage and sift through the junk drawer. While all these tasks can sound overwhelming, I secretly love it and breath a sigh of relief when everything's in its proper place.
To help you get a jump start on your spring cleaning, I've scoured some online resources and gathered my favorite home accessories. These products will add organization to your home and life and some will even add a nice design element too.

Having a few "catch all" baskets around the house is a great time saver at clean up time. Carry a basket around with you and toss whatever is out of place inside. Once you have everything picked up, walk from room to room placing items in their proper homes.

Coat closets can go from clean to unruly in a matter of minutes. Tip: Try adding a simple bench inside the closet for shoe storage. I have this particular one in my coat closet and it has made all the difference. Instead of shoes piling up on the floor and never being able to find a matching pair when we were running out of the house, they're neatly placed on the rack and always in view when we need them.

Keeping paperwork from getting out of hand is a common request of the unorganized. I suggest adding a nice filing drawer where you open your mail. Bills and other important documents get filed instantly, things to toss go straight to the trash.
