10 simple   frugal ideas to clean and organize your home

I am so glad so many of you are enjoying and benefiting from this series!  You can always go back to the very first post to check out all the ideas but here’s the two that published this week.  Click on the picture to go to the post.

Organizing your clothes in drawers by filing them instead of stacking them

So I thought today I would round up some more repurposing storage ideas and some more ideas for organizing drawers.  Seriously… if you use a lot of coffee creamer, or oats, or large coffee canisters… whatever container you find yourself often tossing out, then get on Pinterest or do a google search for “storing things in xyz” or just search the name.  I think you will find plenty of ideas.

15  Repurposing Organizing Ideas

Happy Clippings has lots of ideas for using those over the door shoe organizers.

Use a towel bar to organize scarves.  Love this idea!

Tuna cans anyone?  Store lots of little things in them.

And I loving this idea for hanging “S hook”s in the closet to hang purses or umbrellas in the closet.

Still trying to put away glass Christmas balls – here’s a cheap way to organize them so they won’t break.
