Great ideas! Just moved into a bigger place and am looking for ways to organize it… I’d like more for the bathroom and kitchen though, since those tend to have the most things in our house.
I saw a post on pinterest about using a shower caddy with cups (like the kind you’d keep pens & pencils in) and putting small things in then and then hanging the shower caddy.. seems like a great idea!
These things are especially hard though if you live in an apartment like I do and can’t just start building shelves anywhere you feel like it.
Have any apartment organizing tips?

these aren’t very helpful. They’re either extremely time consuming or doesn’t really save that much space
guest
Oh I really like these ideas.
guest
wow the keys look really cute!! I do the same with cables and charging devices. For example the things belonging to the blue camera get blue nailpolish, things that beong to my phone purple, etc.
guest
LOVE this!
I’m addicted to shelves. haha They’re awesome and can be put almost anywhere!
guest
The nail polish thing works until you have to turn the keys in! Does remover work on keys?
@nepenthium@xanga - Oooh stop being a sourpuss. It’s not about saving space, it’s about being organized. You get out of life what you put into it.
