49 Everyday Items To Help Organize, Declutter and Simplify Your Home & Life

If you're like me, you desire to have an organized home and thrive in such an environment. My dream would be that every single item in my home would have it's place, along with specific spaces designated for those items you use almost everyday and are frequently moved, such as keys, purses, wallets, jewelry etc. Yes, this is still a dream, but each day it becomes closer to reality.

I'm always on the look out for helpful hints on how to make my life more organized, and even better when I find ways of doing it in a greener way! No running here and there and buying this and that. Just using things I find around my home. My husband happened upon an awesome post from Twisted Sifter with just such easy, green ideas that I just had to share with you! I take no credit for coming up with any of these ideas, but I'm sure going to make use of many of them indeed. Hope you enjoy and can take away some useful ideas as well!

 If you have other, creative, green ways to organize, declutter and/or simplify life, please share it with me and other GG readers and comment below! Enjoy and happy organizing!
