If you selected “Other” above, please elaborate:Dollar store - quite a lot! Probably the place I get things most for organizing.
Describe an organizing product, resource, book, video, or other solution that you bought but never used—at least not for the purpose for which you purchased it.Baskets that hang off a shelf to provide storage space under it. They just never seemed to work out right - wrong size, cupboard door wouldn't sit right, things on the shelf they hang off of getting in the way, etc. The fit of the was just a *little* off everywhere I tried them.
For which collections or categories of stuff do you find it difficult to obtain or employ organizing and storage solutions, and why?Drawer organizers seem to be a tough one for me sometimes - getting them to fit the drawer well and getting all the stuff to fit in them well can be very frustrating. I'm a little picky I guess but it sometimes takes me a while to find something "just right" - or close to it anyways. But I do eventually!
What’s your personal favorite inexpensive or free organizing solution? We’d love to hear about furniture, shipping boxes, food containers, craft supplies, or other unlikely items that you’ve ingeniously repurposed to hold your stuff.1) Sometimes my drawer organizers are great but they slide back in the drawer when it gets pulled in and out because it may not be the full depth of the drawer so I put empty paper towel or toilet paper rolls behind them to keep them pushed forward.
2) I also have used the cardboard dividers from boxes of wine to divide my dresser drawers up (I roll tank tops and fit them in the sections in my dresser).
