Guest Picks: Places to Put Things
Everybody needs a place to put their things before drifting off to sleep. These wire wall baskets are perfect next to children's beds (especially bunk beds) and are great for gathering bedtime stories, favorite stuffed animals or even a bottle of water for that "I'm thirsty" trick.
This bookshelf is anything but boring, and yet it's totally functional. The design is great, and the functionality is perfect.
Even cables need a home. I love the simple look of this cable box that serves a really good purpose that is often overlooked.
Laundry looks much better in a stylish basket than crumpled up on the floor. I think I might actually look forward to doing the laundry when something this pretty is involved.
This wall organizer definitely offers a place for everything. I love the different shapes and slots that offer functionality, a really great design and a look that can be re-created over and again by simply switching out the contents.
This box is great for storing a number of things, but I love the great design best. No matter what you stuff inside, you won't want to stuff this box inside the closet because it is such a great display piece.
Sometimes the truth is that you just need boxes to store blankets, winter clothes, old yearbooks and so on. But why not add a bit of fun to your storage room, closet or shelf with these really fun cardboard storage trunks?
There is always a ball or something that needs to be caught. Metal baskets on wheels are the perfect catchalls for sports equipment or anything that manages to fill your garage or activity area.
The best storage pieces are multifunctional. A footstool is a pretty great thing, but it is an even greater thing to have when you can open it up and store blankets, pillows and toys on the inside.
To get rid of visual clutter in your kitchen or pantry, these glass jars work wonders. They are great for gathering all sorts of food.
One thing that always needs organizing is gift-wrapping supplies (especially after the holidays, ahem). This nifty little cart makes room for all your supplies, and better yet, it can be wheeled to your wrapping location of choice.
Jewelry looks even better when it is organized and visible. This Hanging Cloud jewelry stand is so cute. It is sure to make your baubles sparkle and shine even more.
Even things on your kitchen counters need a proper place. These canisters are great for containing all sorts of things while siting neatly on the countertop.
Let's face it: If you have little ones, then you probably have Legos. And if you have Legos, then you likely have them everywhere. These oversize Lego containers are great for keeping all the little pieces in place and also have a great look about them.
I think these modular drawer organizers just might be the answer to everyone's problematic junk drawers. It's amazing how cleaning out one drawer can feel like you just changed your life.
I find I'm happiest when even my papers have a place of their own. I love folders, but I love folders that have sub-folders more. I love folders that have sub-folders that have inspirational quotes on the front even more. This one has it all.
If you are serious about everything in its place, then chances are you don't care for just tossing things into your bag. This bag-in-a-bag organizer is genius. Little things don't get lost. Everything is easy to access and quick to find.
Coats, bags, hats and scarves all have a pretty place to go on these colorful hooks.
We all have little bits and bobs, and those are the hardest pieces to find places for. This cubby organizer works great for just that.Next: Top 10 Unsung Organizing Tools
