People Are Showing Off Their Neatly Organized Spaces, And These 63 Are Extremely Satisfying (New Pics)

Crafting. Organizing. Buying Crafting Materials.

I adore and covet this. I use fountain pens, and this is the perfect balance of a beautiful case that is functional for storage and travel, but also for daily use and display on my desk (and as an anti-cat protection device).

I designed this spice rack for IKEA Rajtan jars. It can be mounted to a wall and can be easily 3d printed.
I also looked up old botanical books which are now in the public domain, and extracted some great drawings that I used for the labels. I added the name of the spice in the local language, and in Chinese if possible (a language I'm studying).

This is a look inside my E-Transit that I use for my handyman job.

I’m just a teenager so it’s a summer job, I can do pretty much whatever I want and no one gets mad at me (not like I mess up that often) My boss loves me- she said and I quote: “wow, beautiful”

Was bored. This will probably last a few weeks.

And I originally wanted to share my first post from fridge detectives, but it looks like this sub doesn't allow cross posting either! Why 😔

As a Swede, I’m impressed. I just skip the bowls and sort them on the floor. She has a nice routine worked out!

We cook a lot of different cuisines, so over the years I’ve collected tons of different spices, flours, and random ingredients. It got super unwieldy and I’d rebuy spices and sauces I already had (I had like 4 bottles of hoisin). Honestly, just looking at the pantry stressed me out so I finally bit the bullet and set up a system. Now I can see everything at a glance. It honestly makes me so much more excited to cook!
I had no one else to nerd out about this with, so here’s my little pantry glow-up 🙃

About a year ago I posted a picture of my basement organization. At the time there were fewer shelves and different colored totes etc. So I upgraded to all clear totes and better color coordination!

I am happy that my baking products perfectly fit in one of the old boxes I am never capable to throw away. Separation of each category with rubber bands that also help the box stay in place when opening the drawer. Background mess because drawer cleaning and new arranging in progress.

That hub might get a little toasty in there. A small fan in the back might prevent any overheating. Other than that, this looks perfect!

OP:

I was a little concerned about it. I plugged a few things in and checked it for heating and so far I can't detect much of anything. It has an opening in the back and is hot glued to the wood by its feet.

Don’t have a ton of storage here so I tried maximizing it…

Last week I interviewed someone for a part-time assistant role.

Nice, smart, normal, looking for a part time job now that her kids are both in preschool. We chatted for a bit, then I opened my desk drawer to grab a parking pass for her. She stopped mid-sentence and just… stared.

It was a weird moment.

I will admit, it's tidy, which is how I like my life to be. I don't have enough time left on earth to deal with junk drawer energy 12 inches from my face.

She didn’t say anything about it. We finished the interview. I sent her an email later that day, letting her know how much I enjoyed meeting her, asking if she had any questions, and letting her know that I thought she would be a great fit and basically offering her the job.

She never responded. In my brain, I thought 'Oh, if you are not on top of it enough to respond to me thats a pretty obvious tell that I misjudged', all the while being a little annoyed.

Yesterday I got an email saying she had “quickly realized she was in over her head” and that seeing my desk drawer made her understand that I am “both too detail-oriented and too old-fashioned” for her to ever work for comfortably.

Now I know to keep the drawer closed.

I have been using this method for ~12 years now, adjusting it to new store layouts when we’ve moved over the years. I get a smile or two every time I go out shopping and folks see it in my cart.

Before you think I'm being extra, I have two hairless dogs and live in a cold climate! This is our guest room closet. It was overrun with random linens, in addition to the canine wardrobe. I cleared everything out, decluttered, bought some new baskets and organized. They have a section for holiday garb, costumes and dress up, jammies, spring and summer looks, outerwear, hats and accessories.

I have so many questions.

All bins are from Target. I just got a Dymo label maker with clear labels. We buy our meat in bulk so this makes it easier to see our inventory.

The little magnetic tabs on top have all the information. I got them from Amazon and Target!

Got everything from Home Depot and Amazon.

Cord organization based on type/function as well as length. Guide with pictures on door mostly for kids.
I'm a House Manager/Family Assistant so I get to these types of things for my job! Highly recommend this line of work for all who love organizing! 😄

I hope to get ranch in there some day.

Years ago a therapist told me that my unease around disorganized things was not OCD (I truly feared I was on the edge of real thing that I needed therapy for) but was that I was 'satisfied with cognitive closure' and that there was nothing wrong with liking things tidy, as long as I did not sit thinking about it when I was not physically present.
Phew. And, yes, she nailed it. So I give you my organized basement supply room. I swear to god, my brain just lets out a soft sigh when I walk in.
I initially had all clear plastic tubs, but the fact that I could see everything, all at once, when many of the items are used only occasionally bugged me. I bought all of these black tubs on Facebook marketplace for a buck each and each one has a number sticker, so I can reference a list and quickly know that where it is; ie, my pressure washer lives inside of bin 21 along with the extra garden hose, cleaner, and nylon scrub brush....I grab the entire thing when it is time to go outside and scrub the green summer ick of of the awning.

Amazon! It's called a Tiopghad tea organizer.

5 kids and 2 dogs it’s too many towels but they all make the way through the cycle.

This is how my mama would do my dad’s ties & she said she learned it from Parks. Parks’s father owned a haberdashery in Fort Worth Texas where the guys that hit oil would drop a few on new duds.

So the tie is folded gently & the gimp seam binding is loosely tied; this is also for off season rarely worn ties. The active ties are over brass pegs screwed into the molding next to a three way mirror. The index cards also help reduce creasing then my mother would write sweet things about the occasions that my father would wear the tie. My personal favorite was a pale pink & pale blue tie with white & yellow storks woven in to announce they were expecting my brother to my mother’s parents in 1952 and what my grandmother had served at dinner. My granny had deduced my mother was pregnant & dessert was pickles & ice cream.

Well I will say that this kind of organization isn’t for everyone. If you go through 10+ shirts before doing laundry then this might not be a great method, because yes, when big gaps are created it’s harder to maintain it. I personally like the clothes that I wear most often to be hung because of this issue. I’ll probably go through 6 or 7 at most before doing laundry so it’s not too much of a chore to maintain.

Let me know if you want.

Subscribing to Birchbox and Ipsy got me all these tiny tubes. The wood pieces are jewelry hangers with hooks, like cup hooks. I got tiny rose gold binder clips to hang the tubes.

Custom closet I built for perfect organization

I ordered it from a local online shopping app in my country, but I think it may also be available in Amazon. 😊

Regrettably, I didn't take a 'before' photo (think the typical jam-packed messy drawer). But I was able to get rid of a lot of duplicate, unused and straight up why-did-we-keep-these items.
I used layered polyethylene foam, brands are known as Kaizen Foam (North America) or Shadow Foam (UK), where you can trace and cut out custom shapes to your preferred depth. They're not cheap but the results sure can be satisfying!
