Is your closet a nightmare? When you open your wardrobe do you do so very carefully to avoid being buried in a sea of stuff? If you need some help organizing your things, opt for bins. I use them for everything from book storage to magazines, socks, slippers, toys, mittens, you name it I store it in a bin of some shape and size. I found some handmade bins (also called fabric baskets or storage buckets) that I like that I want to share if you only imagine plastic or wicker — bins have come a long way! See for yourself…

Do you use bins? Where? For what items? Do you have favorite bins and if so, where did you find yours? I used them for my hair dryer and hot rollers in the bathroom, for my socks in the closet, for books in my cabinet and for magazines in my living room. In the entryway I have a bin where I keep my mittens.

Happy Friday and have a wonderful weekend!

  2. A great assortment. Here are a couple more storage bins that I wrote about a few weeks ago – two or three are also Etsy discoveries. http://bit.ly/apx27S

  3. I keep have bins in my closet for swimsuits, bras, undies, socks and scarves. I also use them in the bathroom for medicines, beauty products, and small appliances (think hairdryers and curling irons). in my office I have a bin for extra computer cables, and extention cords. It comes in really handy.
    Most of my bins came from Target. They are really simple with a clean color pallet of brown and tan, they go great in my house.

    Storage sacs are the best. I recently bought one from Henry Road – http://henryroad.com/storage-sac.html, which I have used to store some of my craft bits and bobs. Might just have to purchase another one – as there are some cool ones above.

  7. HUGE fan of bins now that I have a baby. (10 month old)
    Bins are used for: diaper storage (upstairs and down), toys, books, magazines, bathroom supplies to keep them ‘neatly’ on the counter, but not under the sink (which the baby can get to)
