“I thought these might be handy to organize your tools,”  I said

“Um, well, every time I need a screwdriver or the pliers, I have to take everything out, dig around, then pile everything back in…”

“You’re right, there is a lot of S T U F F,” he agreed

“Do you need 127 wrenches?” I asked

Without digging through 127 wrenches…

Note: Organization products can be pricey, especially at specialty stores.  I bought these plastic bins and containers in the housewares section of Olde Time Pottery.  They are low priced and the tall food bins really work well for slim cabinet spaces.

Okay, 1 cabinet down, 10 closets, and 17 cabinets to go!

How are your New Year’s resolutions coming along?

    Good job! Hard to get started on these projects, but once you do – quite addictive! Do you have five below stores? they sell great sets of containers for five bucks! 🙂

    This is great! A post for your masculine followers. I actually have most of my stuff on the counter of my garage cabinet. I had intended to sort it and put it away…
