Until recently, if you looked under my kitchen sink, I would have been super embarrassed. The cleaning supplies were just thrown in after I used them amid trash bags, paper towels, cleaning cloths and sponges. Light bulbs also decorated the space! No wonder I had an excuse not to clean. I wanted my super-organized daughter to start helping in the kitchen more and she pretty much insisted on us doing this DIY project in order for that to happen. Not sure why putting all of my tools for cleaning in one carry all did not occur to me, but this portable DIY cleaning station is definitely the way to go. Get organized and be more motivated to clean up when you have this nifty station to carry around with you in the house.

Back to school at my house used to mean tolerating papers and pens plus the other random odds and ends that the weeks homework required. No one could ever find a pencil, much less a paper clip or binder clips. Scissors ran away and were often never seen or heard from again. If this sounds like your house, check out this DIY homework station and make order of the school chaos. If you have a couple of kids, like me, you are going to wonder how you ever lived without this one. Creative, cool looking and oh so organized.

When we first moved into our house, the linens were folded and put away so neatly, but this certainly did not last long. All of those other things that needed to be stored away ended up in the closet with the towels and sheets and utter chaos ensued. A little thought and labeling go a long way when it comes to great ways to organize. Check out this neat DIY idea for your linen closet and make sure all of your stuff has a home, even behind closed doors.
