It seems as though my house is filled with “stuff”! I try to eliminate clutter but no matter how hard I work there’s always little piles of miscellaneous things everywhere! My dad once said “a house without messes is a house not lived in”…I think I’ll run with that one! But even though I try to remember that wise phrase, the piles of “junk” still drive me crazy and I’m always searching for ways to contain my family’s clutter! Because I enjoy collecting (part of my problem!) and recycling…I love to use found containers to hold our things and keep us as organized as possible! Some of my favorites are old serving dishes, trays, and baskets–they not only store items but make even the most ordinary utensils look lovely while keeping them within arms reach. If you don’t have lots of storage space in your home you might not be able to hide clutter in closets…my problem exactly since I hardly have any! (closets not clutter!) Maybe these things should be kept out in the open…organizing them in fun, creative, and unique ways! So go ahead and live it up in your home–just contain your clutter…pretty!
