Are you still on an organizing kick?  Or are you starting to lose steam?  Sometimes I lose my momentum when I get stuck with not having the right storage tools or accessories to get my project area actually organized.  So with that in mind – I went out and found eight great organization basics! 

Love this set of four canisters!  Perfect for the pantry and you can’t beat the price.

Set of 4 Canisters from Crate & Barrel – $12.95

These bright folders will have your papers under control in no time!

Love this sleek little basket.  Designed for CD’s but I can see it holding a lot of things!  And the price is right!

If you are low on cabinet space – cabinet organizers can really change your life.  We used these in our first kitchen apartment when we got married and it was a god send!

3-Piece Dinnerware Organizer from The Container Store – $9.99

Let’s say you need to get your bills under control – this paper organizer might be just the ticket!

I'm going shopping in a few weeks for organization supplies for our kitchen (once it is done). I cannot wait.

We are definitely going to need some pantry cabinet organizers in our tall cabinet. Then some utensil organizers as well. We have food canisters here, but I want some new ones that will hold long pasta.

I love those folders - so bright and colorful. They make organizing fun.

Baskets are always my go-to organizational tools!

I used to work for the Container Store and it made me so excited about organizing. Something about seeing a perfect container for a certain item really makes you want to put everything in it's proper place!

Sadly, I no longer work for the Container Store. And my apartment shows the consequences.

Baskets are my new favorite organizational tool. But, what really made a different years ago was buying some (cheap) plastic shoebox (or slightly larger) sized containers.

I sorted them into things like Sick (filled with Dayquil capsuls, thermometer, pocket kleenex, cough drops, etc. Travel (travel sized containers, empty or filled, etc.) Hair - seriously, how many scrunchies do I need? Office - Supplies unlimited. Computer - now all trashed, but it held floppies, cds, zip disks, network dongles, driver disks, spare parts, etc.

I'm doing okay, but I need to get going again.
Thanks for the inspiration :)
