Reduce, Reuse, Repurpose

Some of the best organizational tools may be right in front of you and you don`t even know it. Repurposing items can be the key to your next organizational job. With a little bit of elbow grease who knows what they could turn into!

(1) Glass Bottles or Jars 
Spray paint old mason jars in a funky design to store and hold all your beauty, makeup or bathroom supplies. 
Even attach them to a plank or wood that can then be hung on the wall. 
Just by adding some labels to old glass bottles, they can become the perfect storage for cooking or baking items.
With a little bit of paint, any old glass jar can be the perfect cute storage solution. 
(2) Aluminum Cans
Turn old aluminum cans on the side, which makes for the perfect storage solution in a home office or front hall. 

Attach the cans to a piece of plywood to create an art area for the little ones of the house.

Think about adding a piece of wallpaper or a coat of paint to the cans to tie them into any part of your home. 
(3) Baskets
Why not hang baskets on the wall for storage and free up some floor space! 
(4) Frames
Take the glass out of an old frame and string some twine or wire across, to make the perfect place to hang necklaces, earrings or other jewelry. 

Remove the glass and screw in some hooks to create  a place to hang your keys. 

Insert a sheet of lined paper in an old frame and use as a dry erase board for memos or shopping lists. 
(5) Pots
Decorating old pots big or small, can make for storage solution in a bathroom, bedroom, living room or home office. Even consider them in the kitchen by the sink to hold your  sponges or other washing items.
