You may have read on my blog before, here and here that I am still trying to recover from an upstairs bathroom flood, which caused a waterfall in my living room for over 5 1/2 hours, just 5-days before Christmas last year. On top of this monumental disaster, I am trying to de-clutter and re-organize my home. I live in the house I grew up in with my daughter Rory. So, after 42-years and 4-generations, there is LOTS of work to be done around here.
Pinterest is an amazing source for organizational tips and tricks. I am gathering quite a collection of Pins on my Pinterest Board. I thought I would share a few of those Pins with you, and I hope you will SHARE This Post with others too!

Thanks for the Pin! I can’t stand messy junk drawers either… LOL 🙂
These are fabulous ideas! I LOVE the altoid tin repurposing. How smart is that?
I know! I love to use small tins for that kind of stuff. I even have one in the glove compartment of my truck. 🙂
Lorelai, these are fantastic! I didn’t know you were such a thrifty organizer. I also wasn’t aware of your ‘flood’ issue. Oh my goodness, I can’t even imagine.
I am going to use several of these ideas. Thanks for sharing.
I’m glad you found these fantastic! I actually thought about you, Regina, while I preparing the post and how your Inn is at the Lake…how would that nifty towel rack work for you? And please, share this with your friends! 🙂
Thanks for sharing! Those are really great tips! I know my daughter can def use the Flip-Flop one! I could use the pool, mint tins, gift wrap ideas for sure. Another thing our family does is we have 1 big gift bag n store all other sized bags in it- that we have used over the years- regifting the gift bag! It’s fun to find a bag for any occassion! 🙂
Excellent idea! I save gift bags for later use too. 🙂

I love organizing! 🙂
A great organizing post! Love the shoes Letter Organizers, except we are dealing here more with heavy boots than with flip-flops :(. So many nice ideas, thank you for sharing!
Hopefully you found some that will work for you! 🙂
These are all some great tips and a few of them have me saying “why didn’t I think of this before?” I am so going to use a few of these. Thank you!!!!
I know, some of them seem like such simple ideas. I wondered the same thing myself. LOL 🙂
Wow,awesome post. I especially love the ones about organizing the electronics.
Oh, I hate all the unruly cords everywhere. I would tape or use twisty-ties, whatever just trying to get some kind of restrain on them. These tips are great! 🙂
Fantastic post! I LOVE organization!!! 🙂
I thought you might appreciate some of these tips! Glad you did. 🙂
Great tips, they are very creative and fantastic… Thanks for sharing
Creative, useful tips…what could be better! 🙂
I really love these ideas. I especially like the one to organize manuals and warranties. I SO need to do that. I was pulling a pan out the other day and my Pyrex 4-cup glass measuring bowl fell out, hit the metal floor grate and disintegrated into 1000 tiny pieces. Sigh. All because I was hurrying. I need to do the gift wrap deal too. Thanks for all these cool ideas!
Ouch! Your poor bowl.There really are some fantastic and easy ideas for organization here. 🙂
oooh love the gift wrap one. sure beats my current method: shove tissue paper in the box where I store gifts and hope it doesn’t tear/wrinkle TOO much before I use it again.
LOL… hey, I think I’ve seen that system before… 🙂
Love the flip flop one!! Too, too cute!!
and all the others are great as well.
