As you may have noticed I have struggled with downsizing. Maybe it’s not so much downsizing but the fact that storage area is definitely lacking. I am sure some of you can relate.
I am a very organized person, and I thought that I would share some of my organizational tips with you.
Towels
We have a shelf in the bathroom where I can stack towels up no problem, but it doesn’t leave me much room for anything else. There was this huge space under the shelves and I decided I should utilize it. So instead of stacking our towels, I roll them and put them in a basket. Rolling the towels takes up less space, and it looks fabulous as well.
Sheets
In college watching Martha Stewart one day she taught me a fabulous way to store my sheets! Inside one of the pillowcases from the bed set. I fold the fitted and flat sheets, and pillowcases except for one. That one is used to put all the sheets and the other pillowcases inside. Then I stack all the pillows on top of each other and tie a ribbon around them and create a bow. It makes making beds so much easier around here!
(this picture gives you the idea of what I do….I forgot to take a picture before I made up the air mattresses…sorry)
Baskets
I have baskets in the bathroom, and bedroom…really all over that are filled with items. For instance you can find all of our bandages and first aid stuff in one basket. I find that it makes my life a whole lot easier.
MagnaPods
Is your medicine cabinet a complete disaster area? Mine can be, but
MagnaPods helped me restore organization to my medicine cabinet.
MagnaPods are plastic containers that magnetically adhere to the inside of a medicine cabinet door. Which allows me to store some of my everyday makeup products right there! Plus they have fabulous toothbrush holders. Finally my toothbrush will never come in contact with any one else’s again! The boy informed me that my bobby pins would definitely be going into a
MagnaPod compartment. I guess he is sick of finding them all over.

Did you post this just for me?! I am SO unorganized. My husband tries to keep it all in check, but I'm like a tornado. I lose everything. I tell him that a black hole follows me and sucks everything that I touch. It's awful!
oh my gosh, the magnapods, so smart! happy organizing :-)
Those are awesome tips!! Especially rolling the towels!
I used to roll my towels but then I moved and for some reason started stacking them again-I need to go home tonight and roll them all up!
I love the pillow case/sheet idea! I've never heard of it, but it's something I plan on doing soon!
wow, you're so organized! impressive :) thanks for the beautiful ideas!

I'm pretty much the same way, though my sheets are a mess! I had a whole folding system for them a few years ago that I got away from! You should see our linen nook, it's an organizational wonder =)
