All About Baskets
Hey PHA, I’m going through my home and notice I have baskets ALL over the place. Do you have any great ideas what I should do with them?
Thanks, Clutter Queen (aka CQ)
Hi CQ… thanks for asking!
Baskets are a great idea for attractively storing some of your items that need to be organized while they’re out in the open so you can live in a room that functions well. For instance, that basket in the picture originally held extra rolls of toilet paper in my bathroom when I lived in Florida. Now, it holds cooking magazines and newspaper articles until I have time to read and scan things I want to keep. 
Many times when I’m working with my moving organizing clients, we will use baskets by the front door to hold shoes, or in hall closets for gloves/scarves/hats, etc. Baskets are also very handy in kitchen cabinets to hold vitamins and medicines (on high shelves when there are young children in the home!) Depending on size, they are great to corral makeup brushes, or hair brushes… even on your desk to hold all your pens & pencils.
If you have a basket small enough, it can be used as a serving piece for crackers or bread sticks when entertaining… I myself use a small flowerpot to make the table-scape more interesting.
Think out of the box for creative re-use of any household item… it’s good for the environment and saves you money at the same time!!
And, don’t forget, PHA is running a special through February 14th… mention this blog post and you can receive 10% off a four-hour organizing session!
Happy Organizing!!
