AND MAKE IT ATTRACTIVE, PLEASE... Shelterness I envy the linear thinking group, the left brainers, the organized. It pains me that organization comes so naturally to some and gives me a headache Capone.mtsu.edu Were I more left brained My garage would be neat as a pin don't they look happy? My closet would be color coordinated Homedit The spices in my kitchen would be fresh and cleverly displayed The Kitchen I'd be able to find my shoes.... I actually come from a long line of the left brained My sisters are very left brained I am one of seven six are organized, tidy, efficient (some are a little anal - in a good way of course) then there is me left brain challenged... I actually took a fun test to determine the degree of left or right brain dominance 19 questions My score was 16 to 3 in favor of the right (click on the link above to take the test yourself) We all have two hemispheres to our brains, right? One side is supposed to be more dominant My husband scored 11 left and 8 right. He's left hemisphere dominant, but a lot more balanced... I'm more 'right brain took over and is holding left brain hostage' I wish I were more left brained I'm always looking for solutions to the things my brain refuses to come up with by itself like organizing my pantry... Remodelaholic or my paperwork.... I Dream of Clean When it comes to storage and organization I really have only one criteria (besides that it works, of course) Please make it attractive... like this DIY Dry EraseTo Do list from Eighteen25. Eighteen 25 So, I'm making this for myself, because something hanging on the wall is a lot less likely to be misplaced - like the grocery list I was looking for today... (thank Heaven for the cloud where my calendar hangs out until I need it...) It looks fairly simple: Print out a 'things to do' sheet, put it behind glass. Use as a dry erase surface. A few DE pens.... voila! Such a clever idea. You can make it as large or small as you need... Why didn't I think of that? As storage goes, classic is best. Even for the things you really need to have at hand but can't stand to see Just Something I Made Cords are a pet peeve of mine. I'm always losing them because I can't stand to see them, so I put them in a drawer somewhere.... or a storage box or basket...somewhere safe which I promptly forget... This jar and a box of labels will keep them together in a sort of cute way The same thing goes for those small travel sized shampoos, conditioners, toothpastes and lotions. Pull it out to counter top for house guests to use freely! For the Love of a House They are also super cute to use as canisters very attractive for storing flour, sugar, etc. (and I wouldn't be your very good friend if I didn't tell you where to get these great jars... a true classic design that has been around 70+ years... here or here or here or here) and the little scoops? here Serving plates and platters you say? I have a lot of these for entertaining and they take up a lot of cabinet space due to their size So I love this platter rack taking up no more space than that between wall studs and attractive too (minus the wallpaper) Better Homes and Gardens It would be a fairly easy job for a handyman to put together! I must put this on my list for my 'someday' kitchen remodel.. Country Living same idea, here on the side of an island. For the things that need to be close at hand and usually hang out in clutter on your countertops Homestead Revival corral them with an attractive basket. Not everything can be behind doors in a kitchen. And that's where I get a little crazy. Kitchen has clutter! Open shelves are convenient, but only work if it looks like this.... Better Homes and Gardens And this works because its tidy, clean, uniform and uncluttered If you do have mismatched items, you can always add attractive storage with baskets. Brabourne Farm As long as they are very similar and tidy, baskets add texture and warmth Plate storage can be behind doors, on open shelves, or in racks. I'm really happy these dish racks seem to be making a comeback Content in a Cottage Dust Jacket Attic Forever Cottage It seems as far as open shelving goes white is right Even if it is a little cluttered, it isn't as noticeable Decor Happy Justine Taylor I recently changed to all white dinnerware after living with a mish mash of assorted plates, bowls and mugs. Romantiskahem It's a little drop of serenity in my crazy world. kind of like this kitchen... Favim Small appliances are another pesky kitchen necessity they are NOT attractive I realize their necessity and I realize there are some we use daily and its a huge pain to repeatedly pull them out and put them back Houzz but a kitchen looks so much bigger and attractive when they are out of sight. Houzz An appliance garage is a great answer to countertop clutter because I firmly believe a truly beautiful kitchen has empty counter tops... I currently have no storage for cook books in my kitchen. I have a box of recipes books in the garage that I never see. I'm quite sure my family would starve if not for my ipad and Pinterest If I had a cabinet end bookcase like this my family would eat better. a clever message board cupboard with key storage (and with a plug included - a charging station?) would conquer the 'drop everything at the front door' clutter but I think this one is truly genius! narrow storage for mops, brooms, and cleaning supplies I hate how they look so they always end up in the garage... I love the smart use of over the fridge storage for pans and trays Family Handyman because another storage problem for me is trays, cookie sheets, racks and muffin pans While we are still in the kitchen, here are a few more storage ideas From Crate and Barrel - refrigerator organizers my fridge NEVER looks like this... tall uniform storage canisters I'd be tempted to keep the doors open just to show how organized I was (check Ikea for similar canisters) House of Smiths this is a girl after my own heart.. Wallpaper, or paint, to make it look nice inside, too. Clear storage - no guessing From the Kitchen to the Bedroom I'm always assuming everyone else's closet has tidy shoe storage except mine Brittany Blum with tidy clear boxes, stacked neatly or built in shelving Brittany Blum or in boxes of the non see-through variety with little snapshots of the shoes on the front for quick selection... its definitely more attractive than a bunch of jumbled shoes in a heap on the closet floor this is definitely more attractive than that... The Container Store But my favorite are the clear boxes above stackable, and no photos needed, available from the container store. Still speaking of closets, these baskets provide great, attractive storage for handbags, scarves, mittens, and other miscellany. here is where I completely fall apart. Keeping the insides of cupboards and drawers organized and attractive I really want my bathroom cabinets to look like this brilliant, organized and so pretty I've always hated that cavernous under sink space and shelves this pretty do not need cupboard doors once again, uniformity creates a visually calm space If you have the space and the budget, California Closets will make sure you have a space for every little thing in your closets life... beautifully... or you may opt for the DIY route but you and your clothes will be much happier with a little organization in your life... I really do need to get a handle on my linen closet. So many mismatched towels and sheets and tablecloths I'm quite sure I'd be much happier to open the door to this Martha Stewart Makes me want to go run out and buy matching linens I bet Martha has a very well balanced brain - 50/50 right and left. How else could she be organized and detail oriented and yet so creative And then there's paperwork Paperwork should be ruled a dirty word and used as an expletive A Bowl Full of Lemons this is where the left brained excel... but the right brained make it look nice... Apartment Therapy Better Homes and Gardens storage components are available from Ikea Ikea and before you go, had to share just a couple more storage/organizational ideas I love this DIY ribbon storage rack Craft Magazine I also think this is a great storage idea - a pants hanger Creating Keepsakes Creative Organizing and the tags on these binders are adorable and genius! Exchange Kodak So thanks for listening to me rave about left brain, right brain and my pet peeves in organization and storage I truly hope you found some ideas you could use I know I did! I Heart Organizing and both my left and right brain really like this one! but the next one is sheer genius... Chalkboard paint on cabinet and drawers fronts in the garage so you know where everything is! However you choose to organize, remember to keep it aesthetically pleasing, too its part of your home, make it beautiful! Storage Geek Best wishes! from the left brain challenged... I think I should start a club!
