Our house is a decent size. Actually, I love my house but for 6 people there are times when it's not the biggest of spaces. I've created some easy ways to make the most of my space. I thought I would share them b/c I love to see how other people organize, store, etc. Excuse the quality of the photos-my camera seems to be acting up???
Photo 1: Shelves added to make up for the loss of pantry space. A must have in my house. We have limited cabinet and pantry space and this has pretty much solved the problem.
Photo 2: Kitchen space is limited so the kids have their own storage.
Photo 3: We have no closets on the main floor
making winter months a bear for coats. Each kid gets a hook so they can easily get to and put away their own coats.
Photo 4: Again, the winter months come with so many things so I got this bin and labeled each drawer for hats, scarves and mittens. This helps us with finding the necessary items on the way out the door.
Photos 5 and 6: I like to think of these two baskets as "organized chaos!". It gives these things a place without making it too complicated or too organized for this mama to keep up with. (I've tried books on a shelf before and it was a constant headache!)
The end! These little strategies have helped in so many ways!
