Organizing is one of my favorite things.
Even if it’s not my idea and one I’ve found elsewhere, I have a sense of satisfaction knowing things are clean and in their space. Everything has its own space.
It’s even more important the smaller your space is. And I know the budget is a concern. Nonetheless, keeping an organized home is a must.
Spring is almost upon us and those around me are getting ready for Spring Break and with that the swimsuit season. This is the time that they are calling “shredding season” and they begin to eat better and workout.
I don’t know about you, but I have a ton of jewelry. Great jewelry.
And I wear the same jewelry every day.
Why? Because it is organized but in a bin so I have to dig everything out in order to figure out what to wear!
My next project will be organizing my jewelry in a way that it is displayed so that it is easier to get to.
I want to be able to simply go look and grab what I want without digging or untangling.
Is that so much to ask?
You know I am all about organization and everything is in its place!
So, I’ve looked high and low. And in my research, I found some really great ideas and have compiled them here to help others who have the same dilemma.
There are some I chose not to include. If it didn’t hang necklaces to keep them from knotting, I won’t use it.
Whether your budget is big or small, I’ve got ideas for EVERYONE! I am undecided which to choose at this point, so you all help me decide by telling me your favorite!! I can’t wait to hear your thoughts!

As you already know if you read my blog, I am an avid organizer. I like everything to have a place and everything to be in its place. I am always looking for ideas I’ve not thought of. Bedroom organization is helpful to save time, have more productive mornings and is important if you have limited space.
Obviously keeping an organized fridge will save you time. Time from looking and digging. It will also save you money. Lost items in the fridge get forgotten and go bad, thus wasting money. But that search time also wastes energy. We all hate throwing money away.
Truth be told, the dollar store is one of my favorite stores. Whether it is Family Dollar in Greenville SC, or Florida, your nearest Family Dollar has great stuff! Before going to a pricier retailer, you should always hit up your local dollar store first. I am not a super cheap person either. But why would anybody pay full price for everyday items that you can get for cheap?! They have many amazing items for your home, crafts, and so much more from the dollar store. And everything is just a dollar.
I am an organizer at heart. It actually comes very naturally to me. I like everything to have a place and everything to be in its place. One of my favorite organizers is the magazine holder. I incorporate them into every room of the house.
I’ve compiled my favorite magazine holder organizing options for you to peruse and incorporate into your home. Remember, you can get them in many different styles. They not only organize but can add a little style to your decor. Let me know which you like!

This is one of my favorites! If you are like me, you too probably have a lot of water bottles. This is a simple, effective, and inexpensive!
Organize styling tools under your sink or in the linen closet with a magazine holder. Store curling irons, hair straighteners, even dryers. Just be sure to let it cool first.
This is another favorite! No need to buy expensive clear refrigerator holders. Just grab clear magazine holders for simple and effective organization!
Modems and routers are definitely not visually appealing. Simply hide in a magazine holder either upright or laying on it’s side (wooden ones look like a shelf!). Easy and effective way to hide them.
