Good Monday to you! Are you ready to see some stylish storage? Get ready to be inspired to organize! How do you like this fancy little cabinet? It’s a simple generic set of drawers that’s been dressed up with a fancy stencil. Very clever. |
This is a little vintage side table that’s been painted cream and outfitted as a hanging file folder on rolling casters. |

Paint a wooden shutter a happy color and mount it to a wall as a mail sorter. |
Saucers and teacups make lovely containers for jewelry. If you are like me, it is much easier to keep things organized when they look pretty! |

Create a his-and-hers office by pushing 2 identical desks together in the middle of a room. Have a piece of tinted plexiglass cut and slide between the two desks to create a message board. |
Simple wooden boxes or old dresser drawers can slide easily under your bed for storage with the addition of casters. |

I love this inventive recipe box. Cigar boxes have such interesting graphics – just add an interesting drawer pull and stack a few on a shelf in the kitchen for easy access. |
Save your old paint cans – a little wallpaper or scrapbook paper adds personality and pizazz to storage of pencils, markers, and other office supplies. |

![message center via bhg](https://thedecorologist.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/message-center-via-bhg.jpg) |
Install a peg board and slap some chalkboard paint on the inside of a kitchen cabinet to make a message center that closes to reduce visual clutter. |
Need more room in your closet? Try hanging pegboards on the wall. Add a few hooks where you can hang belts, purses, scarves, etc. Squeeze as much storage out of a small space as you can. |

Create mudroom storage with a simple bench, a few mounted knobs and hooks, and a shelf. A galvanized tray holds shoes beneath the bench, while a galvanized pail holds shoes and boots. |

I have saucers coming out of my ears–I’ll have to try that jewelry storage trick for sure!

I really like the idea of peg board in the closet!!! I can think of all sorts of uses for that. My problem would be getting the pegboard hung.
Oh I LOVE love love these ideas! I so want to do something now. I don’t know what, but something!
