    We have a designated hanger for them in our closets. I believe I show it in my closet makeover for my husband. I've also seen people show baskets that they get from the dollar tree and throw them in. Good luck!

    Thanks :) I got the cabinet from BB&B a while back! I'm pretty sure they still have them...

    Ever look back on your older videos and feel that sense of pride when you see how far these videos got you 8 years later?
    You are an amazing person. Keep it up! I love your videos! 👏🏽🙌🏼💗

    thank you :) i believe it was from either walmart or target, but i know they carry similar products at both. good luck!

    I love Kathryn's videos! It's interesting to watch her older ones like this ones.....now she is a Mom of one and soon to be another one. I have learned so much from her videos. My bedroom closet looks amazing and my pantry/laundry room look amazing because of her. I encourage you to watch all of her videos including her Do it on a Dime Family :)

    I saw your video and decided to try the basket idea. And I really liked it! Even though I don't have much stuff, I like having "a home" for everything so that I know where it goes, and I can reach for it right away. It helps me feel like I'm being a good steward of the stuff that I do have. Thanks again for the idea!

  • @DoItOnaDime
    @DoItOnaDime  11 років тому +2

    Having separate baskets for lights and darks work really well for me so it doesn't get full so fast. A laundry room tour is on my list! Thanks for watching!

    Can I just say that your bins make me happy! My husband always says “oh my word, you and your darn bins!! Nobody organizes like that!” Ha! I’ve been using bins for years and years because it feels so clean and less anxiety inducing. Recently he asked me to help him organize his garage. Guess what he said “I can’t believe I’m even asking you this, but I need a bin idea...” 😆 the teaser has become the student!!! Loving your videos thank you!!

    unfortunately i don't. when i lived in spain, i used to go to those cheap stores that were usually owned by people from asia that sold lots of organizing products. i've seen them there before for just a couple of euro. do you have those in finland?

    I loved your laminating tip. I have been using it and I just made some awesome labels for 2 wire baskets I have in my office for photo albums and maps. I printed the labels on some parchment type resume paper, cut them out, wrinkled them up and then lightly singed the edges with a lighter. I laminated them and hung them on the baskets and they look so cool- thanks to you! Love your videos!!

  • @DoItOnaDime

    good job. In my kitchen cabinet I have a couple of those drawer trays..baking spices in one and savory spices in the other. After the jar of spaghetti sauce is gone..and jar is washed out, it is a great size to put dry rice or beans to store.

    Yes I use food cans. Ive used soup tins with the label off for some of my sample perfumes and even some flat mackerel tins (I know it sounds gross, but when they are washed they are fine and not on show) and I use these for Kirby grips and other hair slides:)

      Cheers for the Video clip! Sorry for the intrusion, I am interested in your opinion. Have you researched - Mahorrla Control Clutter Method (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now)? It is a smashing one of a kind product for decluttering your home without the hard work. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my work buddy at very last got excellent success with it.

    Kathryn, you've inspired me, and I've found a few things at my Dollar Tree that are helpful organizing in our house. Have you ever used diaper boxes for organization? There are lot of DIY videos/blog posts on how to cover them with fabric. I haven't tried that yet, but I have used scrapbook paper. Sturdy, no additional cost in our household, and pretty once I put paper on them. I'd love to see a video if you do a project with diaper boxes.

    I recently bought the green square bins that you have in your bath closet. Considering the thickness, I find it a really good item from the Dollar Tree. For this fall, they have brought out the same design but in a deep purple, red and orange colors. And, I bought the larger version for my office cabinets (boss seemed pleased to see things more organized).
    I recall in 1 of your videos you saying to keeps colors the same to give a cohesive look. I'm drawn to the green DT offers. I love it!
