reorganized.

I love to reorganize. So after a trip to Target and TJMaxx, I added some more storage cubes from the ITSO line and a few more baskets. I like the versatility of this storage system. We have moved it around a few different ways. The storage drawers are great and hold a lot of toys. It is a little tricky to put together; but it is worth it.


I also picked up these Large baskets.{Circo} They are really cute. I love the polka-dots inside the pink baskets. The blue baskets are striped inside. They hold so many items. I placed a Fisher Price Little People Castle in one of the pink baskets and there is even more room left.
I found these "Art" and "Craft" buckets style baskets at TJMaxx. I filled them with stickers, paper, crayons, ect.
And my favorite find:
I found this laundry basket on the $ aisle at Target. It was only $2.50. I know...isn't it great?! {Even Benjamin likes it! haha} This basket has so many possibles. I did actually use it for a load of laundry, today. But, I may find another function for it. What would you use it for?

I am in LOVE with the big damask basket!!!!! I'm totally checking our Target just in case I missed it! LOVE IT! I wish I had the organization gene! Thanks for sharing.

I NEED those bins. How cute is that!!! Also I would use that laundry basket just for cuteness. :) It might even make doing laundry a little more fun. I'm going to have to get over to T town and get me one.

I love all the organizers you have, but I really love that laundary basket for $2.50, wow! It would go great in my laundary room! I hope they have some at my Target!

You found some great items for organizing. I need to get some more bins for all of the toys, puzzles, games, etc.

I'm so excited. I ran to target today and scored two laundary baskets like yours! I am going to be re-doing the laundary room this year and have been collecting things to use. My colors are black, white, and green. These are perfect. I am using one to hold the clothes, etc. that I put on Craigslist. It will go in a closet. I even came home and wanted to do laundary! Thanks for sharing!!!

I LOVE the damask basket and the storage you found at TJ Maxx. I have three children and am in desperate need of more storage-you have inspired me!

We have a laundry basket like that (except it's a turtle from Ikea) anyway, we use it for "balls". Yeah, really should minimize the number of balls we have!

LOVE it! You could totally flip that thing over (depending on how sturdy the bottom is) and use it as a cute side-table with a white/black/any fun color (red, pink, green) chair ... or just use it as the cute laundry basket it is! I just did a very SMALL version of this in my closet - with a white basket with the SAME lining as the damask on the big basket! (our bedroom is black and white) but I put all my scarves and leggings in it b/c they were driving me NUTS getting all tangled up and mixed up in a drawer. Sounds like I need less scarves and leggings ... nah a girl can never have too many, just like shoes!!! LOVE your reorganization, doesn't it just feel SO good!!!

I saw that hamper at Target too. Sadly enough the boys were driving me insane and I left it behind. I may have to go back and see if they are still around.

Jen @ tatertotsandjello.com said...

You lucky girl!!! I have been to 4 Targets looking for the pop up bags that match that laundry basket. But they didn't have any laundry baskets with that print. I love it!

Looks great!!!

I love the colors and designs of the baskets. Not only are they decorative but functionable.
Great job!
I love your tips.
I have to be organized. We very busy and if I don't put appointments on the calendar well, it's not pretty.
Today, I forgot that I had a doctor's appt on Wed. Ugh!
Have a great weekend.
