A pretty little organization tip with style

Some of you know that I decided to take an organizational class in January.  I am a bit on the random organization side.  I know where everything is, but I just have it in random stacks.  Mr. Walsky calls it absurd chaos, and I like to call it creative and unique.  

Well, the first day they gave us link to look at organization ideas, and I couldn't get past the first picture!  Sterilite containers!  After that, I was pretty much done.  I had learned all I wanted from the course.  This is why....  

Notice the pretty white bow bins and the ugly plain red bins!


Seriously!!!  I have used these containers for years and hated the holes.  Who would have ever thought to put a cute little bow through the holes? 

 I LOVE it!  So this is what I have been doing every day to my reading leveled books, and changing out my bins.  I am loving the ribbon and the polka dots.  I actually just bought some pink and black zebra striped ribbon for my room next year!

Why didn't I ever do this before.  The room is looking so cute with bows tied to everything.  The reading section just looks so much more stylish.

I guess I have to take the course over again....Maybe I will actually learn clutter control and not be overwhelmed with cute little decorative suggestions on how to make my clutter bins more attractive.  At least at home I am pretty, creative, and unique chaotic clutterfied!

  8. I am actually switching classrooms this summer and when I was packing my current room up I realized I had about a dozen of these baskets. I will totally be going to buy ribbon. Before I had color coded labels on my basket to group my books. Now I get to use cute ribbon! Thanks.
