What better way to have fun organizing than incorporating your own decorative flair to the project along with a little DIY? I am so inspired by the new show on Style Network, The Amandas!!! Love it!! I came home from Hobby Lobby about 1pm and less than 2 hours later this is what I have so far!! Read below for a few tips and details…

Office Organizing Project, The Suburban Diary

First of all, I purchased the rack from Home Depot and assembled it yesterday. The remaining materials were all purchased from my local Hobby Lobby (unfortunately this was not the week for wood and metal to be on sale), but I had to buy it while I’m motivated! Secondly, I knew that I would buy it and start on it right away, otherwise I would procrastinate and it would sit in my closet forever waiting for its debut!! Haha! Lastly, this is where I will start and who knows if this is what it will look like as time goes on… I’ve read that you need to experiment and be open to changing in order for the organization system to be functional for you. Also do not to put lids on your storage- they only serve as a barrier between you and staying organized! PS. This is not my craft area, but I put the kids paint in here so it would be close to their new easel I have downstairs!!

For you DIY Lovers… Consider using Mason Jars for organizing, Old Vegetable Cans can be kept plain or wrapped in Scrapbook Paper, or wrap Shoe Boxes…

The most important thing about organizing to me is making it functional and beautiful! If you enjoy looking at it, you will be more likely to keep it organized- Consider it a part of your Home’s Decor! We have to LIVE in our houses, so make them functional, livable and enjoyable!

Organize, Organize, Organize… One Project at a Time!
