Brownies and Zucchini

Remember when I showed you all this super cool de-clutter and organize calendar for 2012?  Well, I’ve started to do it, and I thought I’d turn it in to a bit of a series.  I’m not going to blog about every single task – because honestly, who wants to know that I dusted my cupboards – but I will share the more interesting ones.  The tasks that are fun, new, organization techniques, or that have particularly good before and after photos.

January 2, 2012 – Set up Donation Station

If you click on the link to the “donation station” above, you will get a better idea of what this is, but I will also explain.  Basically, this is a set of boxes that are meant to keep “transient” items while they await their placement.  This includes things that need to be donated, returned, mailed, etc.

My version is not exactly how it is shown in the example, but it works for me – and it uses all things that I already had on hand!

The starting point is this hanging sweater holder in a closet

Then I put in some bins

Then I labeled those bins

Looks good to me!

We’ll see how well this gets used throughout the year!

There isn’t much there yet, but hopefully in the future it will make it easy to find all of my organization related posts!
