If you are one of those people who has the big dream of achieving the ultimate goal of getting organized--maybe I can help!

I am an organizational crazy woman! If things aren't organized around the house, I am out of sorts. Here are a few tips to getting your home and your business organized with baskets:

If you don't have lots of assorted baskets--get some!

You can use these beautiful woven treasures to make your home organized and look good while storing things away within easy reach.

Put your television, VCR, DVD, and universal remote controls inside a small basket. Plop the basket on your sidetable and it looks pretty--but most of all it creates a home for the remotes so they don't turn up missing in action.

Put your coasters in a basket and place on your coffee table. Place crayons, scissors, markers, pens any art supplies your kids may keep in the family room or den inside a pretty basket.

Place larger baskets underneath your end tables or next to the sofa with your favorite magazines and books inside.

If you sew or knit in the family room, put your supplies and latest projects inside a basket for easy access when you feel like working on your craft.

Use a tall, long basket to store your umbrellas in the foyer or mud room.

Hang a wall basket next to the telephone, or near your bill paying center in your home office to keep things such as stamps, outgoing letters, bills and address labels.

Use long and skinny baskets to place a few of your small potted plants on a window sill or on your mantel.

You can find inexpensive larger baskets at your local Walmart for around three dollars. Purchase lots of these and use them for toy boxes, and laundry baskets in each bedroom.

You could also use these in the garage or shed to store outdoor toys. You could also store seasonal accessories such as; gloves, hats, and scarves in a large basket and place inside your coat closet or under a bench in your foyer.

Look around your house and see how you can use baskets to keep your home a little more organized!
