Organization with items around the house

For this post, I was in the middle of cleaning my entire room because I graduated from college.  While I cleaned, I needed a place to put my piles (bobby pins/hair pins, hair binders, small office supplies, etc), so I used these 3 drawer organizers.  I bought two for school.  I kept one full of small office supplies (see below).  I had erasers, paper clips, tabs, white out, post it notes, and more.  The other two are being used to hold phone charger, pencils, ear phones, and a lot of small items, like cell phone key chains.  

I think you can buy these 3 drawer containers at almost any retail store; I bought mine at Target.  

The desk organizer; holds office supplies.  I used my label maker to make the tabs on each of the drawers.

 I used my other container to hold my hair and beauty supplies.  I used to hold my make up in here, but most of it didn't fit, so I switched to hair binders, face masks, and razor blades for shaving.  

I had this can in my discard pile and realized it is big enough to hold my millions of hair clips AND it fits in the drawer above, so it's easy to find them when I need one.
Yes, this can was a candle holder.

Not that big, but it can hold a lot!

Stationary Organization

Tired of not knowing what to do with all of your stationary or cards?  

Try this:

I was helping a friend get ready to leave for home, they did not want this basket (see below)

I took it, thinking I could use it for something at home.  I decided to use it for my stationary and address book.

I love it because I can separate cards and paper.  It can hold my address book too.  

This is the basket; 2 small spots in front  and 2 larger spots in back.

 I love to be able to have all of my stationary in one place, so I don't have to search for it.  

I do not know where my friend bought the basket, but some possibilities are to check out a local thrift store or a garage sale (or a lot) or maybe a retail store.  

A regular basket will hold stationary just as good as this.
