Boston photography: a medley of beautiful shots from around Boston, including an example of Boston’s lovely architecture…a lot of buildings are made from carved stones and are simply stunning. Renovations and restorations of historical buildings help maintain the beauty of Boston: Walking through a Boston park with my family, this view caught my eye- a […]

If you enjoyed some of the ideas from Great Uses For Shoeboxes, How To Organize Your Home With Hooks, and Altoid Tin Crafts and Uses, here is the final installment of how to organize your home with things you already own, and one of my favorites, because shoe organizers (those over the door shoe-holders) are […]
-
These are fantastic ideas! I’ve actually used mine for tags, bows and ribbon during the Christmas season, and my friend uses a little shoe organizer for her toiletries when she travels!
-
What great ideas. I like using one to keep the granola bars and snacks on the inside of the pantry door.
-
You always come up with the cutest ideas. Using the door and the shoe organizer is simply smart.
-
what wonderful ideas thanks for sharing
-
These is a really great idea for creating more organized space when you don’t have a lot of room. I love this!
-
First – I LOVE the new header! So cute!
Next, these are really creative and useful! I never bought shoe holders because I have a shoe rack in my closet, bit I could use them for this! -
Those are some really good ideas! I am going to incorporate some of them into my RV space.
-
Love these tips! I so need to organize our kitchen and bathrooms!
-
Great ideas! Never thought about using these for crafts! We have so many that could use this organizing and would be easier for my girls to grab than opening bin after bin. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
-
video game stuff!!!! that is perfect. if only we had a door in the room we have the wii…another reason to move it into another room just as soon as we can get another tv
-
Wonderful! I use mine to store little items in my coupon stockpile but never thought about it for the kids art supplies. Thanks!
-
OK the craft idea is BRILLIANT! I need to do this. Thanks!
-
Those are some great suggestions! Especially the ones for storing video games and equipment and the one for hats and mittens. I would have never thought of these!
-
What a great idea for saving space. I could use some organizational help.
-
Really cute ideas!
-
Those are great ideas. I have a shoe organizer I use for wallets, belts and scarfs and love it.
-
My wonderful wife exposed me to this usage of shoe organizers nearly 18 years ago… our lives would not have been so full if she had not! I forwarded your article to her.. Thanks for it.
-
I use one inside the closet door for the hats and mittens, but I hadn’t thought about all those art supplies. Great tip!
-
MOMtrepreneur Tip of the Day: 10 great uses for shoe organizers
-
These are really great ideas! I especially like the idea of using them for hair supplies; it seems like I’m forever trying to organize my girls’ hair stuff.
-
Great tips and I also use one for my cloth diaper storage, too!
-
Ahem. You forgot instructables.com/id/VERTICAL-VEGETABLES-quotGrow-upquot-in-a-smal/ and
greenupgrader.com/8460/diy-vertical-herb-garden-with-a-shoe-organizer/ -
Great tips!
-
I love these ideas and am going to incorporate some. Thanks!
-
Great tips!
-
I have been looking for these plastic shoe holders and can’t find any. Do you know of a place I could buy them? If you do, could you send the information to me through my email address.
Thanks,
Evelyn -
Evelyn, just type in “clear shoe holder” on amazon, and it pops right up and they are less than $15 each.
-
Never thought of this for the bathroom closet organizer. I’m trying this…. Thanks
-
SO LOVE THIS POST!!! we have a small apartment, I use them in our closets for undergarments and socks. In my son’s room I use them for art supplies. I wish my basement door wasn’t so tight, I’d love to hang one on there too.
-
That’s SUCH a good idea! I’m going to install one in the office closet for art/school supplies.
-
Those are some good tips. I will have to keep them in mind. Thanks for sharing.
-
This might work in my bathroom, of all places. One of the photos above has toothpaste in it, which gave me the idea. I try out men’s grooming products for my blog and use a ton of product besides. Metro, I suppose, but it’s partly my job. Anyway, I’ve got limited storage space in my bathroom, though the room itself is fairly huge. I could put one of these on the back of the door and organize product by type, or alphabetize! Just had a wonderful epiphany! Thanks for the great suggestion.
-
I need to use one in my pantry as a spice rack – what a great idea!
We are back from our trip to Boston, and we had a wonderful time! We loved it so much we fantasized about moving to Cambridge, our son attending M.I.T., and eating dinner in the North End every weekend. There is lots to share about our Boston travels, and we couldn’t believe how sweet and friendly […]
-
B&B’s are my favorite! Boston’s not too shabby either. Glad you had a good time.
-
I love Boston. I’m glad you had a great time, it’s almost time for us to go back.
-
I have never been to Boston, but it looks beautiful and I am glad you all had a great time. The bed and breakfast looks so quaint and charming. I have never stayed at one, but have always wanted to.
-
I would LOVE to visit Boston — all of the historical sights would be wonderful!
-
Looks like fun!
-
There are some amazing B&Bs here in KS. I adore B&Bs 😀
I dream of visiting Boston someday. I hear it is just gorgeous! You made me want to visit there even more, love the pics! -
Looks fun! Boston is on my list of places to visit someday. I have always been leery of staying at B&B’s, did you end up liking it? I think they are charming but I guess I’m concerned about privacy 🙂
-
That sounds like such a fabulous trip! I can’t wait to see and read more about your adventures!
-
It looks and sounds like y’all had an amazing time.
-
I am so glad you enjoyed my city! I know northeasterners have a reputation for being aloof, but here, I just find that’s not true. And the city if confusing – I always offer help if someone looks lost! Drop me a line any time you’re back in town!
-
We just went on our first family vacation to Boston last week. It was beautiful, but I must do the bed and breakfast thing next time. It looks too cute! Okay, I better get started writing my Boston trip blog post. Happy SITS day!
-
Boston looks beautiful! From the sounds of it you were able to see some of the best attractions the city has to offer. I’m so happy to hear you had a great time!
If you like our past posts on strange and bizarre buildings, you’ll love this new crop- some are just amazing! The Urban Cactus (this unique buildig is pretty cool looking, I would’t mind living here- kind of futuristic): A house for a hobbit? A creature from Alice In Wonderland? Is this house safe to even […]
-
These are insane! Why would you do this?! Building anything isn’t cheap.
-
Love them. I especially like the upside down house, though I don’t think I would care to live in it.
-
They are all pretty crazy, but that first one is really kind of pretty.
-
Those are some crazy looking buildings.
-
Love the Urban cactus
-
The upside down house is just too much, LOL!! I have to admit, I might just adore that Tim Burton style one though. Right up my family’s alley.
-
Wow, I’ve never seen those before. They are kinda freaky!
-
I love pictures like this, it shows that at least there are some creative minds out there. I am always fascinated by what these places look like on the inside.
-
Those are too freakin’ cool – now I want to see the insides!!!
I’m not sure if the cactus one or the heart one are my favorite.
Where do you get these and do you know if you can see the insides??
Thanks for sharing. -
That first one, the cactus is crazy weird!!!!
-
My kids would love the tim burton style one. I actually like the first one except I think you would need one heck of a green thumb and that I don’t have 🙂
-
I love the upside down building.
Kas -
These photos are really amazing!! I would like to know more about them and mostly about the last one..the building in heart shape..where is this and who is the architect?
While my daughter is waaaay past being a toddler, I think that my nieces and nephews could really use this! Thank you for sharing!
This is definitely something everyone with little ones could use. It is great to be able to teach them things and will make going to school a breeze (we hope!) I will look into this, thanks!
What a great tool!
I love programs that really teach educational concepts it makes it so much easier when you have tools
I think my son could benefit greatly from a program like this! He is going to be four in November, but his communication skills could use some serious improvement. Thanks for sharing!!!
Looks like a great tool for your little ones!
Very cool – I am all about teaching at a young age.
Oooh I so have to get this for Landon. He’s older then Little Man and really hasn’t talked yet. But he’s starting to babble more. He’s smart as a whip though. I think he’s just being a brat and not wanting to talk lol.
What an awesome program! I’m glad little man is talking so much better now!
I’m glad you found something that is working for you both!
It is so fun to teach kids this age, they just love to learn.
Looks like fun! =)
(Sweetums made no effort to communicate until she was nearly 2 1/2.)
Little man isn’t much of a talker, so we get excited by any communication we can get…we are so impressed to see him match the colors, though, or fit the puzzles in correctly. It shows us that, silent type that he is, he is also the very smart type 😉
Sounds like a great product. My first son was slow to communicate too.
This looks like such a good learning tool for little ones. Wish I had known about it when my youngest was a few years younger.
My niece could benefit from this… thanks for sharing!
