First you have to make up your mind to throw away (or give away) whatever that you don't need...my theory is whatever I haven't been used for over 2 years are whatever I do not need any more unless you have enough storage space.
Kitchen stuffs always in Kitchen
Toilet stuffs always stored in toilet
Design an area or cabinet for kids stuff
Keepsake items packed in a box placed under the bed
Books..according to the size and topic such as cook book in one end and child care on the other end of the book shelf
Underwear: make boxes in different sizes to separate underpant, bras, socks, underwear in the drawer
one drawyer for all underwear for my son, one drawer for home clothing/sleepwear and so on
one layer of shoes rack for my son's shoes, one layer of shoes rack for work shoes and so on
Kids stuffs are more difficult what I am now doing is:
- 3 layer stackable container for his old toys have them catagorized such as Thomas Train, Learning Game, car etc
- new toys and his favourite in a 3 layer easy access opened cabinet
- one magazine hold to hold recycle paper for painting and drawing, activities books and drawing tools
- Stationary in a plastic box
To much to talk about home organizing, let me know if you have question on particular area. :mrgreen:
The most important is to educate all your family member to put things right away after used.
Once the house is being organized it is a lot easy for you the keep it tidy and neat.
