DIY 363: Organize and Hide Clutter

My husband plays guitar, and I love it. What I am not fond of is the messy-mess his this-and-thats make of the living room. Since I would never discourage his hobby by moving him into a back room (where~by the way~I couldn’t enjoy his renditions of AC/DC’s “Rock n Roll Ain’t Noise Pollution”), I would rather contain his papers and small equipment in a neat package.

I literally measured the pile and went shopping. I found a box at a cute resale/antique shop in my neighborhood called Everything Goes. The box is so unassuming it sits right where the mess was before and looks great!

I hope you are having a wonderful Summer so far!

Until Tomorrow~Sarah

Organize and Hide a Mess in your Home:

  1. Limit to one subject per container. That way, picking up and keeping organized is quick and easy.
  2. Measure clutter to determine what size box. A flexible tape measure works best, but anything will do (even a piece of string!) And, be sure to tuck the measurements in your purse so you can refer to it at a moment’s notice while out and about.
  3. Find a box with handles. This helps when it’s time to move for dusting or to just get out of the way.
  4. Clutter contained. Ahhhh!
