@@sharonshmuel3386 SMART!
Some good ideas here I’ve never thought of. Usually these videos are just a rehash of ideas that have been around for years, this is so refreshing
Oh yay! love hearing that!!
Everyone claims to have unique or different solutions, it was refreshing that you actually did! Also appreciate your suggestion to purge what you don't need to keep. Thank you also for listing the products you use! You have a beautiful home.🌻
So glad you found the video helpful and refreshing!!
If you keep your board games in the box and they stay in good shape, they are an investment. I’ve sold board games from when my kids were young at auction for hundreds of dollars, but it has to be complete, box included. Earlier versions of Clue, for example, are worth a good deal of money.
Totally depends on your interests! I don't typically hold onto things for resale value necessarily although I know lots of things years down the road may be considered a collectors item. It's all about making things functional for you, your family and aligning with your goals!
I bought all of mine from thrift stores. I was born in the 80s and notice a lot of the "new" games at the thrift are so cheaply made. I think that if they were so valuable, people would have been snapping them up to resell.
@@lauralaforge558 Like I said, they have to be in good shape, and it depends on the game. If they’ve changed the graphics, as they have in Clue and Life, that makes a difference. Monopoly pieces are no longer metal, and very early dice were still made from ivory. The first versions of Cards Against Humanity are going to be worth a fortune someday. I sold a Batman comic book from the 80s and paid for my son’s first year of college.
We find that the boxes just generally DON'T stay in good shape, so it doesn't make a lot of sense for us to keep them (with occasional exceptions).
Rachel Ramey YES! That is one of the reason I decided to purge. Previously I had duct taped the corners that had come apart. I was like, how ridiculous, in retrospect.
I just came across you on my UA-cam videos. I’m very inspired! One of the things that I use the photo organizers for is I made up first aid kits for both of my vehicles and put them in the glove box. They fit beautifully. For The medicines I just put in little small Ziploc bags like eight migraine tablets, eight Gaviscon, a Band-Aid or two, things like that because then you don’t have to worry about stuff being outdated because you have a whole bottle you forgot about. If you have to throw away just a few if they become outdated it doesn’t hurt as badly. Of course check it periodically and restock. Also if we are traveling somewhere I can grab that out throw it in my purse and bring it up to the hotel room with us.
Thank you so much! I love that you are a photo organizer fan as well! I have them in my car too!! 🙈Great tips, and I really like the idea of taking it traveling as well! Sounds like we have similar organizing styles. 💙
The hangers for storing backpacks is genius! The clear pockets to apply to container to save instructions/recipe is a really good one!
Glad you like the ideas and found them to be unique!! ✨
@@SophisticatedOrganization I am binge watching yours and Cleaning Therapy UA-cam videos before I head back to re-organizing my bedroom.
@@dees3364 LOVE hearing that!!
The board games decanted!!!
I plan to use those clear pockets on file folders I give my clients! Putting them on the containers though - brilliant!
You could also use plastic chain links to get more than one backpack, or tote in each space. Have a hardware store cut about a foot, or two of plastic chain, loop one end of it over the top of your hanger, then hang additional backpacks, or totes farther down on the rings. You could easily fit two, or three items this way, which would leave you additional rod space for something else. I do my clothes this way, and typically get 2-3 shirts in a single spot on my clothes rod. Makes a huge difference in your space!
Genius! Thanks for sharing that idea!!
@@SophisticatedOrganization-you’re welcome! I learned that trick from Pinterest when my daughter went off to college. I was searching space saving ideas for her dorm room. It helped a lot! I’ve also used soda can tabs with my hangers, because I have the slim velvet hangers. Those hangers are great space savers, as well.
Be sure to use a heavy duty hanger if you hang more than one backpack
I wish I had so many gift cards that I actually needed an organizer for them. 🐱🐱🐱
Hahah well we actually need to use ours!! 🙈
@@SophisticatedOrganization Send them my way! Ha ha! Just kidding. Lol 😆
I watched a lot of organization videos but your tips are by far the best I have seen! Thank you very much!
Wow, what a compliment!! Thank you!
Totally agree!
Yes! Exactly! Me too!
Thank you! Such a smooth and pleasant presentation! You didn’t yell at us like some others and yet you were informative. Great!
I appreciate that!
I agree, as well, you are engaging and to the point w/out being clipped in your delivery.
I like the idea with the mesh bags and the swimsuits. I only own 3 but it would be great to put the 2 piece suits in the same bag. I have craft mesh bags that i purchased in a dollar store.
Also for the drawer organizers, I use shelf liners with the grips to hold them in place. I also purchased this at my local dollar store.
Also the clear mini organizers are good for organizing jewelry, pins, rings, bracelets, etc. I bought these in the same dollar store.
I do the same thing with the gift cards too! I just store them in a pencil case box as well as business cards. I just don't use dividers to organize them because I usually try to use the gift cards and don't let them accumulate. My business cards I just use a couple of binder clips and toss them inside the box.
Yes, I'm the organizer in the family and the only minimalist too. Getting rid of the excess/unwanted helps me keep up with my organization.
Smart idea!! Shelf liners work too! Depending on the types of drawers you have if you want to cover up the bottom, shelf liners can be a great option! You have so many great ideas! Happy to see a fellow organizing lover!
I LOVE the idea of the zipper pouches. They are exactly perfect for cross stitch or embroidery projects. And for small sewing projects and quilt block storage! I can purchase "project bags" for anywhere from $18-$35, but these are see through and sturdy - and so much more reasonably priced! Thank you for the wonderful idea. :)
I totally agree! Glad you enjoyed!
Hi, Sophie! You have a lot of practical ways of organizing with things we have already. I dont know why but having an organized house makes me happy and have been helping friends out since the beginning of the pandemic, which is a complement. I wanted to share a tip for storing bedding in small spaces. I'm constantly changing my color schemes a lot. So, I went to Walmart and bought Hefty 10 Jumbo 2.5 gallon bags and put my pillow cases, shams, fitted sheets,and flat sheets all in one bag according to colors. Then, I used a permanent marker of what contents are in it and file organized it. That way, when I'm switching the bedding out, I'll know what will belong in the labeled bag. Of course, I wash them first, fold them and put them away inside my little ottoman bench . For much larger items, such as, comforters, I bought those vacuum bags you suck the air out and store them under my bed. I live in the desert and also acts as another aid to pollen,dust,dirt,and dog/cat hair as well. Hopefully, this will help out another person! Thanks again, 😊
That is so great! That sounds like such a great way to do it, thank you so much for sharing with me and others who may see your comment!
@@SophisticatedOrganization You're welcome! Thank you for replying back. Wishing you and family a Merry Christmas!
Oh that's a good idea 👍
@@susanlynn6545 Awesome and thank you for your comment!
Love this! I used a metal file organizer to store my cutting boards up right in the cabinet. 💜
Thank you! Another great idea!! Love that 💙
Oh, you mean like the boards for a die cutting machine? Even if you didn't this idea sounds great to me. I have C plates and B plates and shims which I all stuff into an A4 bag right now.
Great idea!
@@VioletJoy 👍
@@Myeverydaywifelife Hey, I just looked up your channel. 🙂
I use a product similar to museum gel called “Party tack” and it comes in handy for so many things. Especially ill fitting candles in candle holders, and those pictures that never seem to stay level. I make a small bead to wrap around candles and a small bead at the bottom back of any wall art keeps it level.
Love that you use something similar!
Where do you purchase either of those items?
@@frankiev1682 party tack used to be sold in stores where party goods are sold, like paper plates and balloons. Usually in that area.
I’ve known about museum putty for years but never knew where to look for it. But the gel sounds better and party tack is worth exploring too.
The board game idea is GENUIS
So glad you enjoyed it!
Hanging the tote bags is a great idea, thanks 👍 an added suggestion... Try multi hangers and you can hang the bags three or four downwards, it'd save more room 😉 and take advantage of vertical space, I do that with my clothes 💜
The sticky pockets on your canisters is an awesome idea 👍
An added idea to keep drawer organizers in place is to simply put a non skid cupboard liner in the bottom 😉
And as for gift cards, business cards, greeting cards, I store mine in a small binder. For the small cards ie: gift or business, I use the page protectors for collecting game cards, mine have 9 pockets per sheet, so if I use both sides I fit 18. And I use top loading page protectors for scrap booking, to store and sort greeting cards.
It's really nice to share ideas on different ways to organize, I'm glad I found your channel 😊
Hello. In this FABULOUS video you show a small sized business card holder which is 100% clear and has a tab you can label. However the link takes you to the size for the greeting cards. Could you possibly share the link to this smaller size which is good for business cards? The other link, which is for gift cards/business cards only offers an A-Z tab system - but I group by category and so want to make my own label. Thank you so very much!
Using S hooks ,are also good for hanging purses
Another great idea!! Thanks for sharing!
Great idea for the flip flops! I normally recommend Magazine holders or over the door shoe bags but that was a useful idea!
Great idea!!
I see the comments made about wasting resources and buying new plastic. Is a valid point.
I suggest that if you want to save the environment, want to reduce space needed to store games, AND you are not wanting to resell the games, you could make use of containers that you get with other products you purchase.
I have noticed that many products now come in resealable bags or plastic containers. Some but not all re recylable. Although they are not clear or uniform, they could be covered with other material and labeled. You do not have to have everything match exactly or be uniform in size to be functional, and to reduce the space it takes.
Alternatively, could sew together a similar storage container, using used clothing and even recycled zippers.
Of course is time consuming and requires commitment to reuse things, save pieces of material or parts of clothing...but is doable!
I am older and wish I had thought of these ideas sooner. In theory, can save the environment without using new products, but a younger person who sticks with an organization system could conceivably SAVE resources. Because what happens to the old game in a box?
Monopoly is a classic! Why buy a new one because the box got smelly in the basement when you were holding onto it for your grandkids? We need to take care of our stuff to share instead of buying the newest and latest. Buy one at a thrift store and put it in a container and pass it on ...back to the thrift store. ...or give it away. If someone donated Monopoly, Clue, Battleship ( I am dating myself, but the idea applies to or other toys that are valuable) and took care of everything and it was ALREADY organized...I would take it!
And we need to teach this to our children.
Great ideas and points! Thanks for sharing!
This is the first video I see of you and I’m instantly in love with your ideas! 😍 of course I subscribed (sorry if I made some faults, I’m from Belgium and I understand English good, but writing or speaking is a bit difficult)
Oh and so many videos! I feel like I found a good Netflix serie that I can bingewatch because all the episodes are already online! 😍😍
Oh thank you so much! No your English is great!! Thank you for watching 💗
Love this!! It is like a Netflix show you can binge watch!
Your English is great! Welcome!
You did an excellent job with the English 😘
You’re the kind of person I would never tire of spending my entire days with
aww thanks so much!
Those mesh bags would also be great for packing kids' outfits for camp. I know some people use ziploc bags, but I like the idea of mesh better.
Love that idea for camp!!
As an organizer, I have to say that what happens to plastic bags over the years is something you don't want to use for permanent solutions. It gets oily. Staples and paperclips tend to rust.
I’d get something with a water proof lining incase of accidents, swapping out muddy clothes, etc. I love the mesh idea for clothes, but I know my daughter would come home with a plastic bag from school if her soiled clothes would get everything wet.
The mesh is great especially is you can use the mesh bags in the laundry. So often on trips you don't have a mesh bag to use in the washing machine
I’ve never subscribed to a channel so fast in my entire life omg
Wow what a compliment!!
I have different sizes plastic boxes all around the house, in my purse, in my car, everywhere. It’s most comfortable organizers ever!
Love that!
Fantastic ideas here. Usually I watch videos like this and feel like I’m already doing most of the things recommended or they aren’t realistic. This had some things that were new to me. Thank you!
Awesome! Thank you! Love that you found new things!
I need a friend like you who will come over to my house, get frustrated with my mess, and organize everything!! 😅
On my way!! 😉
Me too. If you love to organize then my place would be a blast. Lol.
Amazing! we are idea twins lol. I've used almost all the methods for years. Unbelievable and cool. you even made me comment for the first time in years. Truly refreshing. Cheers!
Love, love, LOVE the tip for instructions on the food storage containers!!! You wouldn’t believe the various methods I’ve used😳😵💫
Amazon here I come🤩
Yay! So happy you feel it might help you!
I’m not a professional organizer, but I enjoy organizing things. Out of all my searching over the years, the tips you shared, other than the museum gel, I’ve never heard of or thought about. Thank you for sharing! I’m now a subscriber :)
Glad it was helpful! Thank you so much for subscribing! I really appreciate it 💗
The pouches for games is a total game changer. I try ziplock bags but the kids have trouble with them and so they never get shut. Omg...puzzles! I'm excited!
And the photo organizers.
Subscribed!
Oh you will love this so much more than the ziplocks! Photo organizers can be great for small little kids puzzles too!
@@SophisticatedOrganization yes! 8m getting some! Thanks so much!
When my kids were young and I had dozens of puzzles, I would flip them when new and put the same letter on each piece. It made sorting the play room so much faster.
@@dawndowdakin797 that's an awesome idea!
I truly enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing. Your videos bring me so much joy!!
Hi Sophie, This show was wonderful. I learned lots of useful ideas. Thanks much.
You are so welcome!
Im in the process of organizing my whole home. I just finished my kitchen. Unreal what I threw away! I subscribed. Thank you for all the great tips! On to watch some more of your videos! Thank you!❤️
Awesome! Thank you!
I'm a new subscriber. I've never heard of museum putty or gel before, so that's my favorite tip!
Yay happy you found something new and I really appreciate you subscribing!!
Yes. That was new for me too.
I live in earthquake country so I keep putty on hand all the time!
It’s amazing stuff- even helps in normal situations- messy dusting, slammed doors.... in a display case
Where can I buy museum putty and jell?? Thanks!! Never heard of this either!!
Loved the bag organisation idea. So simple yet so innovative and functional.. ❤️
Thank you so much 😊
Love the self-adhesive pockets on the canisters. Great tip! Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Such great ideas! I particularly love the board game storage bags!
Thanks so much! 😊
Just WOW! I am so inspired!! Thank you!
Awesome! Thank you!
It is so nice to see actual new ideas for organization, thank you!
Oh yay! Love that some of them were new for you!
I am an organizer, and I learned a couple of things!
Oh yay, that makes me so happy to hear!
First time watching your channel just to see if there was really an idea I hadn't seen or considered and you did not disappoint! After seeing the zipper pouches, I feel so validated for putting puzzles into freezer bags with the zipper closure. Yours are just next level with actual zippers that are sturdy enough to stand up and be easily filed.
That is so great to hear!! Welcome and I am glad you were already doing something similar! You will love the pouches I used, next level up from a ziplock for sure 😀
I love that idea of adding the pockets for product information. I bought some right away. As a matter of fact, I bought several items. These are things I’ve never seen on other organizer shows and I watch a lot of them!
Hello! Just came across this video today! I love this idea too! How are they working for you? Does the adhesive last a long time? I always wash my containers before refilling them so I was wondering if the adhesive is strong. I hand wash my containers but since these pockets are not meant for this purpose I'm not sure about their durability 🤔. Please let me know if you can, I'd really appreciate it 🙏😊
Love all these hacks! Please keep sharing!
So glad you enjoyed! 💗
Command hooks are great for the car to keep cords from falling onto the ground or getting wrecked in the seat track. I also use them for hanging masks on when not in use. I also have these little magnet things I bought on Amazon. One side sticks to the car dash/console surface and the other side clips onto the end of the cord. That way when I unplug my phone I can just stick the end of the cord back where it goes. It has saved me from constantly replacing my car charging cords.
That’s an awesome tip!!
I’ve been hanging my back pack like this for 35 years, didn’t know it’s was cool. Sorry I didn’t learn anything new , I’m happy you’re helping people out, so grate job .
Looks like you are ahead of the trend 😉 I appreciate you watching anyway!
Sophie, you have so many great ideas in this video!!! I love the museum gel, board game bags, and the small photo boxes. Great video!
Thanks so much! 😊
I just love all of these ideas!!!Bravo!!!
Thank you! 😊
I just found you on UA-cam . I absolutely loved this video. I have never heard of any of these hacks and plan on using several of them. Thanks for the good ideas. Hope to see some others.
Glad it was helpful!
I love the little shelf you put inside your door in the kitchen. Good idea to hang it up higher so you don't lose cabinet space. Just happened to come across your video. Liked and subscribed!
Thank you so much! I appreciate you subscribing!! 💓
@@SophisticatedOrganization-does the sticky back of the shelf, leave any residue when you remove them? I want to suggest this idea for my daughter, but she lives in an apartment, so she’d need to remove them when she moves out.
How are Canadians handling the extreme form of bondage by being forced to remain home unless government approved? This is a crime against humanty.
This is my favorite storage idea!
@@maryhuse3391 not the place for this type of message.
I’m so glad to discover you. You had new ideas I hadn’t seen before and you make it all look exciting!!
Yay! Thank you!
This is really thinking outside the box! Love your ideas 😊
I definitely plan on trying the museum gel first! ✅ Thank you for the great tips! Also, I love your sweater...😍
Museum gel is the best!! Aww thanks, it’s so old!! 😂🙈
Great tips! I use file organisers to store serving trays & baking trays. Loved your mesh bag idea for bathers- clever, this I am doing tomorrow 😁. Other favourites for me are hanging backpacks & sticky pockets for food container. Perfect 👏
Glad it was helpful!
The shoe hack is brilliant
Glad you liked that one!
Very useful and excellent ideas. You’re right, there were quite a few I’ve never heard before. I especially like the game storage! Thanks for sharing.
That makes me so happy! Thank you for watching!
I love the idea of digitizing business cards! I am going to order Museum Gel too.
Thank you so much for watching! Glad you enjoyed the ideas!
Really great info. Esp for us organizational addicts. I just brought a roll of draw liner for the very same reason!!! love the letter sorter for shoe organization. That would be an option for my clients. Thanks Sophie
Glad it was helpful! Letter sorters are such a great option! I've used it with clients who have small closets before and they love it!
To help stop containers from sliding around you can attach cabinet door and drawer bumpers. They are small, clear and adhesive backed. I really like the medicine storage idea. I’m going to try that weekend as I already have a few extra photo storage boxes. Great video!
That's a great idea!
I love your ideas! They are very original and I haven’t heard some of them before! Excellent ideas are used in my own home. Thank you!
Thanks so much! 😊
These are great tips! Yesterday I spent the whole day putting thick packaging tape all over the dividers that continuously slide around. Drives me nuts! Putty is a great idea! Just subscribed. Looking forward to learning more from you! Thankyou for all your tips a d love your presentation! Bravo!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you so much for subscribing and watching ❤
I am 100% ordering some museum gel!! It drives me crazy when my bins slide around- thank you for sharing this solution!! 💕 great video!!
You will love it! Works so well!!
Lots of fresh ideas. Love them.
Glad you like them!
OMG! The game organizer!! I am definitely trying that! I am so tired of the boxes collapsing in the closet! Thank you for this video!
Yay!! 💙 You are so welcome!
Great ideas
Thank you! 😊
Never heard of museum gel before. I'll have to have a look out for it!
Hope you enjoy it!!
In earthquake country (e.g. San Francisco bay area), you learn about Museum Gel and Putty as a child. Same for cabinet latches and furniture straps. I really like the suggestion of using it to still a drawer organizer. Clever.
Simple organization is the key! 😌 Thanks for the tips.
Exactly!! 🙌🏼
Love the games-in-pouch ideas!!
Glad you like them!
I found that I have Space & the back wall of my closet so I have command hooks mounted and I hang my large handbags on them. They're completely out of the way and easily accessible
Thats a really great solution too! Command hooks are the best!
Oh i love photo organizers. I use it a million wats. Especially nice for jewelry and it’s ready to go when I travel and I don’t worry about losing pieces because it snaps close
What a great idea!!
I’m excited to figure out what I can contain in my photo boxes. Loved that idea!
Wonderful! Enjoy!!
I love the way you used the file folder organizers!! I’m definitely going to do this. Thanks so much for sharing!!
😊💚😊💚
Yay! Thank you!
I stick instructions on the inside of the lid. I can’t stand seeing anything on the outside. I must be the only person who doesn’t even like labeling my containers. Looks too busy and I can see it’s pasta/rice, etc. without needing a label. I also have to OXO containers. I love them.
You aren't the only one! Everyone has different preferences! But agreed that the OXO containers are great!
YES! On the inside of the lid. My oatmeal is like that & I thought the same thing when I saw it.
Agree. Labelling storage containers with pasta etc or beverage jars with Tea/Coffee on them is tacky. You never see it in high end homes.
I cut out and slide the instructions inside the container against the outside then pour in the product. Anything stuck to the out side is just a magnet for grime. The only things I label is 'like' items (types of flour for example) that might be difficult to identify by just looking.
New subbie here!!! I love these ideas and will be using a few when I move to my new place. Thank you for sharing.
Awesome! Thank you! Really appreciate you subscribing!
I like the bamboo drawer organizers :)
The best!
oooooohhhhhh I'm so glad I found your channel! Amazing organizational hacks that are actually doable!
Yay! Thank you!
Love the backpack tip. My daughter turned 14 and we recently renovated her room. She was a superstar at decluttering her little kid stuff and keeping only special items. We are still working on organizing everything and these tips will really help.
I love hearing that!! That’s wonderful she was able to declutter so much. Glad these tips were helpful ☺️
Hi. I stumbled onto your video. I stayed, watched and loved your tips and have become your newest subscriber. Thanks so much. 😊
Awww thank YOU so much!! Welcome 👋
I love how u explain everything, simple and easy to understand :)
Happy to hear that!
I was looking for inspiration for my current storage and organisation issue and came across this video. I AM IN LOVE 🥰 I will be implementing all of these ideas and binging all your other vids. I’m now a subscriber for life!!! 💙 thank you so much 😊 love from Katie in Australia 🇦🇺
I'm so glad! WOW such a compliment thanks Katie!!
Looks good. But for me, if I create cool systems they work best when I live alone.
Fair enough!
Hello! I’m new here 🙂 Thank you for the game storage idea! We have several games taking up so much space. I’m going to try this at home and in our trailer. Thanks!
Welcome!! It will save SO much space!! hope it helps out 💗
Yes! Great idea!!! We have so many board games and all the boxes are in various stages of brokenness and we’re packing up the house to move.
Some great new ideas, love repurposing my office supplies for storing sandles.
Yes!! Thank you for watching!
Thank you for all the awesome organization tips! 🥰
Any time!
...Some of these are really good ideas, thank you. But since I am so " Old School" ( I am in my 60's ) I find technology getting too intrusive...I think if people spend money on a Business Card, I wont just throw it away....It seems in this day and age, its become a " Disposable Culture".... People need to realize this, and not go too far with AI, and such.....It is not good. Technology can be used for ' good" , however I see so much that is taking away from our Human- ness.
Totally fair! I do agree that it is much more of a "disposable culture" I try to keep the mentality that I don't want to hold onto something for guilt either (i.e. holding onto it because someone spent money on), but I do understand wanting to have a physical copy and not wanting to trust/use technology for everything!
@@SophisticatedOrganization I agree with both of you. In the case of business cards, though, I find digitizing them helps me form relationships with the person. By adding the information to my phone’s contacts I can have it with me at all times and add notes with key points from conversations we’ve had so even if I met a person once a long time ago I can remember to ask about family members, follow up on their professional life or just remember their interests. I can even connect to their social media profile and add a picture of them to the contact so I can recognize them faster in person. This really personalizes the conversations and makes most people feel important (which makes them enjoy talking to you). I wouldn’t be able to carry all of that information with me if I settled for a box of cards.
@@Ineverusemychannel- I do the same thing! You could also scan them into your computer.
@@Ineverusemychannel aaa
@@Ineverusemychannel that's a lovely habit, I think that would help both personal and business relationships. That social media idea, I should try bcz I'm very bad with names/faces... Can't recognize a person on the street even if I've had a conversation with them, in a different setting. I do try to pay attention! 🤷🙂
One of the most practical organizing videos ever. I have one for you! I bought plain, white slap bracelets from Oriental Trading to organize vinyl rolls in my craft room, but they didn't work for me...BUT...now I roll my hubby's and my underwear and tuck them into our drawers like tidy little buritos!
Thank you Susan!! Genius idea! Did you ever find a good solution for organizing your vinyl rolls? When we move I am hoping to have a nice little craft set up 😊
@@SophisticatedOrganization I took all of my 12x12 vinyl sheets and lay them flat in a scrapbook keeper. The rolls of scrap commercial vinyl that I have are just stored in one of those collapsible storage bins that's very heavy duty and perched high on top the entertainment center in my craft room. I can't even get to it right now because my shoulders are in need of artificial replacements and I can't lift my arms over my head. It's a good thing I don't use it very often. Someday I will find a better solution.
@@PKEDRM That is exactly what I do with my 12x12s too. Sorry to hear about the shoulders! I am going to do a bit of brainstorming when I have to space to have a craft area and will be sure to share what I come up with!
@@SophisticatedOrganization thanks for the sympathy. It is a familiar issue for me: 2 artificial hips and one knee so far. I am a relatively curvy girl with bad joints!🤣 Pretty soon all my metal parts will outweigh the bones...
Great ideas! Thank you!💕
Glad you like them!
Great ideas! Thanks! I am definitely going to use some of them. I enjoy being organized and I was inspired by your video.
Awesome! Thank you!
You have your organization 💯, love your style.
I appreciate that!
I love your organization tips. I noticed that when you were showing your game drawer, I had a tip you might like for playing cards. Dollar tree clear soap boxes holds a pack of playing cards perfectly 😊
LOVE THAT!! Thanks so much for sharing!
This is one if the best videos I've seen! I especially love the board game idea. Brilliant!
Wow, thanks!
Hey everyone! Let me know which organizing hack you will be giving a try!
I'm not easily impressed, but I loved this video and I'm definitely happy I found you! :) I need those small photo boxes nowwwwww
I love the zipper pouches to keep games neatly in a drawer instead of piled up on a shelf :) Going to do that!
I am going to try the board game, the gift card, and the bathing suit/lingerie organization first. I need the entire list, but "baby steps," right?? :)

I have kids so you know all their game boxes have been stomped on and ruined and taped back together. Now I see your zipper pouches could work for a lot of their games, even the ones with boards... thanks!
Great video! I use cosmetic zipper pouches from the thrift stores for so many things (first aid, electronics, crafts, camping stuff). I was thinking about games too but was a little hesitant to purge all the boxes as there would be no going back. My mom kind of poo-poo'd the idea. But now I have new resolve to do that lol.
Metal file organizers for sandals is something I definitely need to do. While I was watching your vid, I thought that for people who need their swim suits that organized, some kind of grid organizer may work as well (me, I throw them in packing cubes).
I use cambro containers like restaurants do. I considered Oxo and have many other Oxo products but decided on cambros. Only negative thing about them is the square ones I like only come in 2qt and 4qt.
Hi Laura! I totally agree, it is a little scary to let go of the boxes but it feels so much better doing it, at least for me! Love that idea on the swimsuits!
Just found your channel. So excited as organizing is my passion.❤️❤️
Oh yay, then you are in the right place!! Welcome 😊
The games! Genius! Doing that one TODAY!!!!
Yay!!
I have all my gift cards in a small wallet I always keep in my car so I have them when I need them. I also keep all my coupons in a file folder that stays in the pocket of the passenger seat back of my car.
That's a great idea!
Where did find the photo boxes? I have an idea for them that would work for me so much!
Linked in the description box!
You have them on sale at Michaels quite often in multiple sizes...but check out occasionally Dollar Tree too.
@@lili721 ok I will. Thank you 😊
Love them all!
Thanks for watching!!
I love the draw string bags in the drawers in going to try x
Thank you, hope you enjoy!!
Girl, how many swimsuits do you own???
Haha too many! I got rid of some since filming this as a part of the #sophisticateddeclutter !
Ha and my suit needs a trash bag size for this old gals suites. 🤪
I am the same way!
I have one swimsuit and one bikini swimwear... Totally enough for me! :O :D
IKR! I was thinking the same thing about the clutches and flip flops. I have one clutch and two pairs of flip flops/sandals
