Hello friends!
Our internet at our house has been terrible...slow and barely working.
Gotta love when that happens, right? It sucks actually. A lot. But you knew this.
I still got my post in today for SPD and I decided to switch it up a bit!
Last week it seemed like everywhere I looked (aka read on blogs) there were awesome organizing ideas that made me feel extremely unorganized in our house. I felt like I needed to step up my game a bit ever since I decided I would stay more organized this year (I will keep it, I will keep it...)
So, I did what any logical woman would do....
I went to World Market to stock up on some baskets that I had big plans for.

In our master bedroom we have a walk-in closet, but it is not nearly enough for all my clothes,
and let's not even talk about my poor shoes. I'm 97% sure I have them in our other two guest bedroom closets as well (#girlproblems). I wanted to use the baskets I got to clear up some space in it so not only I could feel more organized, but allow Billy to have more than one teeny tiny section in it!
My inspiration for one basket came from this pin:
Storing flats in a basket...why didn't I think of that?!
Easy and such a cute display!
Obviously there isn't much to this project, but I can't tell you how much better it works for me.
First of all, I ended up throwing out a few pairs of flats that were old and just taking up space because I wasn't wearing them. So I scored some extra space and got rid of some things...progress my friends.
Now-I keep this basket with the flats I wear the most often in a corner in our room by our mirror and I can see/find all of them so easily! It's much easier when pairing outfits and saves time because I don't have to search through our closet (or closets) for that certain pair.
I also kinda sorta love the chalkboard sign (it's always the little details, right?)
Another
idea I had when I saw a wire hanging shelf in World Market was to use it to store my
lightweight scarves. Scarves don't take up a whole lot of room, but when
you have an out of control collection it starts to add up. I love the
look of this basket in our room (goes with our decor well) and it helped
clear up even more space in our closet. Double win.
Since I was on a roll, I decided to clean up my nightstand a bit.
I always like to switch up what I keep on my nightstand...makes it more pretty and fun!
So here's what it looks like at the moment...
The sign is pretty fitting, don't you think? :)
We also have this sunburst mirror (from Target) nearby...

I plan on sharing more of our bedroom (you can see more like the wood plank wall we did: here!)
once we get new bedding, but I'm saving that for the spring!
I've noticed a theme that keeps popping up in my mind after organizing (especially closet related items) is that if I can't see it, I tend to forget I have it. That's how I know both of these baskets and how I'm using them is going to work for me. Sadly I just wish I would've figured this out sooner! I'm sure Billy does too so that he could've had more room all along. ;)
