A place for bills to land? Check. A spot for shoes, reusable bags and miscellaneous items? Double check. What we love about Heather's organized home is that she's thought of everything. Every item has a home and more importantly, it's accessible...
Heather's Organized Home
Most of us tend to be pretty overwhelmed when we return home after a long day. Keys end up in one place, bills in another. Heather makes her entryway a catch-all zone for important items that need a place to land.
If you're anything like us, you're a visual person at work. If an important piece of paper is filed--forget about it. On the other hand, papers left out tend to look messy (and drive us crazy). Heather shows us the perfect solution--containers in arm's reach with easy to read labels.
We love these recycling bins from IKEA. Because they stack, they save much needed space in the recycling zone. Again, Heather uses labels so everyone is on the same page.

I bought those stackable boxes for exactly the same reason, but unfortunately they didn't fit where I had hoped they would go.
I kept one and use it for dry dog food! It flips open for easy scooping, and blends away into the background when closed. Much better than digging arm-deep into a neon pink dog food bag.

I don't keep enough stuff to need a whole system to store it in.....but I think it is important for everyone to find a way to keep their things organized.....regardless of how much or how little they have.

FantasticMrFaux: The file folders are on the all because I'm a very visual person, being a photographer :). It helps me greatly to have them up in full view so I can easily see whose wedding is coming up next, whose is being processed, and which ones have not been photographed yet.
Scootergirl: Thanks! You actually can see all the before and after pictures of the whole house here - http://www.flickr.com/photos/espanaphotography/sets/72157619806802183/ if you want :).
Yeti3a: I have NO idea who the handbag is by actually! Chuckle :). I found it at Goodwill for $1!
