5 DIY Storage & Organization Ideas
Better Homes & Gardens

Cafe Cartolina led us to these creative storage ides from Better Homes and Garden's DIY publication. In our small space, we're always looking for ways to create more storage or to better organize the storage that have. Some of them are indeed a little cutesy, but we love that vintage suitcase. Two of these ideas utilize inexpensive kitchen objects. Can you guess what's their actual function is?

 
 

1 vintage suitcase storage
2 oven cooling racks used to store and display stationary
3 bird cage mail storage
4 these are plate holders used here for in/out folders (would love to this with some prettier file folders)
5 organize mail with a vintage shutter

If those are your idea of ugly file folders, I guess you've never worked in a office!

When your "prettier file folders" link didn't go directly to a photo of the ones I see all the time on Oh Joy!, I was disappointed. Then I scrolled down and saw them. Nice catch! I'm in lurve.
