Get Organised — If you can’t hide it, display it!

Nov 282011
 

Every home has items that are essen­tial in terms of every­day liv­ing, but are unfor­tu­nately a nec­es­sary evil.  I’m talk­ing about the pen & scrap piece of paper you need when you have to write down a num­ber in a hurry; the notepad for those gro­cery items and the never-ending To-do lists; and the list goes on.  More often than not it ends up in a ‘high traf­fic’ zone sim­ply because that is where you need it, right?

So, if you can’t hide it, dis­play it!

Get Organised

With 2 full-time uni­ver­sity stu­dents in the house and 2 more enrolling next year, hav­ing every­thing organ­ised is an absolute must for me.  Ever since I can remem­ber I have col­lected boxes, crates and tins in all shapes and sizes which has all stood me in good stead over the years.  You can leave them as-is if you favour a vin­tage look, or cover it with any­thing from beau­ti­ful wrap­ping paper to mock leather — the pos­si­bil­i­ties are lit­er­ally endless.

Our ear­lier post on get­ting organ­ised had such an amaz­ing response from you guys that we’ve decided to make it a reg­u­lar fea­ture on our blog.  Let us know what you think and share some of your own ideas!
