Get Organized for 2012

We know with the New Year there are a lot of new resolutions to attend to. We asked around and it seems many of you want to start the year off with an organized (and stylish) home. Here are some of our favorite organizing tips and inspirations to get you started in the right direction!

We love using vintage pieces like a locker to house items like books, photo albums and magazines that tend to end up in messy piles if not contained. Add a pop of color with a fresh coat of paint. For those of you who like a rustic look and can tackle a little DIY, these shelves made from wooden palettes are an awesome way to create unique and stylish storage. For quick and easy clean up, use a magnetic strip (from Ikea) to quickly contain metal cars and toys. We love the graphic quality of little vintage toy cars lined up in a child's room! For your craft space, try using a garden storage system with tins and buckets to hold pens, markers and other bits of crafty goodness! And last but not least, don't overlook a piece you might already have. Old wooden crates look fabulous mounted on a wall for a quick and easy display!
