Simple but Stylish Storage Solutions

Every January I get the itch to clean something out and get organized. If you are like me, you enjoy the thought of "starting over" in January! The library has two books that were published in 2010 that can help you get a handle on organizing your storage spaces. The first book is Storage With Style published by Better Homes & Gardens. Most people know that storage and organization are universal problems for every household, whether you live in one room or six. Successful storage solutions are great ways to keep your home organized and tidy, and this book offers ides for every room, from kitchens and living rooms to bathrooms, bedrooms, home offices and (my favorite :) craft rooms. The book covers simple portable storage ideas, as well as built-in pieces, and shows how to incorporate the ideas into every home's decor. The second book is What's a Disorganized Person to Do? by Stacey Platt. This book offers hundres of solutions for you to gain control of clutter in the house and office, from quick-fixes to hour-long projects, including organizing e-mails to sorting through the area beneath the bathroom sink. This book is more focused towards the very "clutter-prone" person, as it does a great job of explaining how to complete the basic de-clutter process. These books are just two of the many, useful, storage and organizational solution books the library has available for check-out.
