Hi there-
Not sure if this fits exactly in this category, but thought I'd give it a try.
I am really struggling with the disorganization of my house. I have never been a great housekeeper but I do feel there is an organized one inside just waiting to burst out, just not sure how to get started. So aside from having someone come in and do it for me, I need to make little steps.
The first one that I feel I need to address is the doorway situation. My kids are little (2yrs and 6mths) so it's not even like I have all the school stuff to deal with yet, but I do have tons of bball hats, shoes, jackets, and soon winter coats and mittens to contend with. They have no home and it is making me crazy!! Plus my husband has several bball caps as well. They just litter the doorway area.
Any suggestions for organizing this without spending a ton of money? I have my eye on a storage bench from Pottery Barn but I'm hesitant because I don't know anything about the quality of their furniture and because we are trying to save our pennies so we can move next year.
On another storage note: do you know where I can find the smaller sterilite storage boxes that snap shut just in front. I see them often at kids' offices to store little matchbox cars or the Little People. I have looked at Target. Would I find these more at a craft store?
Sorry for the long post. Just need to get the organizing thing going here.
Thanks for your thought!
