Finding it difficult to declutter? It takes a lot of work! One way to make it easier is to do a little bit each day. That's how I built my own decluttering habit, and here's my story:
Today is Day #31 of 31 days of spontaneous organizing! Your mini-challenge for today is the back of your car or van, specifically the back seats and trunk. Can you believe this is the LAST day of Spontaneous Organizing! Here are more ideas for organizing the back seats and trunk of your car or van. Yesterday I mentioned the rules I have in my van for my kids. I don't allow food or drinks in the car, if at all possible. And if I must, they are responsible for cleaning up after themselves - water is fine, though. It's your car and your rules, so you do what you need to. I understand some of you feed kids on the way to places, but you'll need to come up with a system or way of keeping them accountable for the mess - or, try to feed less-crumbly foods {my two cents}. The trunk area contains a trunk tray, but you could use a cardboard box to help contain the things you keep in there. I keep my extra grocery bags, a first aid kit, umbrella, and DVDs with remote and headphones in a tray that I got from Ikea. I also keep a couple of towels to lay on the carpet when I have dirty things to place inside. The kids seats are usually in pretty good shape, but again, I make sure they pick up whatever they leave behind EVERY time we go. If you have a lot of nasty stuff hanging around their seats, figure out a simple The Shafer Family Go on Pinterest and find lots of ideas of how to keep the backseat organized with totes, bags, or back-of-seat organizers. But, for now, just get it cleaned up and cleared out! More helpful posts for getting your car or van organized: Organizing the van Road Trip packing Downtime: Organizing in the car Now get to it!

I hadn't thought of posting something as basic as this, but several people have commented on the paint storage system I use in my studio, and since I haven't seen it anywhere else I thought people might find it useful. Basically, I just got tired of having my paint tubes festering in drawers, getting gummy from leaking oil and impossible to find when I needed them. The "system" such as it is, is just hanging the tubes up on readily-available "handbag clips" (technically "Binder Clips" so you can Google them) so you can see all the tubes at once and tell what's there.I have a couple of them--one a shallow box, and the other just a board with nails to hang the tubes from. I attached a couple of picture hangers to make it possible to hang the boards and reposition them if necessary, although I suppose you could just screw the things into the wall (or just drive nails onto the wall if your landlord is a tolerant type). As you can see the method is cheap, easy, and really adaptable. The clips come in several sizes for different paint tube sizes, and it's easy to use the tubes while they're attached. Hope this is useful!
I know there aren't Ikea stores in every state, but if there is one near you, it's worth the trip. We don't have one here in Rhode Island, but there is a store an hour away in Connecticut and another an hour and thirty minutes away in Massachusetts. We've bought things from small to big there…cork trivets to coffee tables. The prices are awesome!! (this is not a paid endorsement either…I just love the store!! My husband, not so much. I think it's because we spent four hours there on our first trip. Scared him away forever. Lol) One thing I pick up almost every time I go are these plastic bag dispensers. They are only $1.99 each. A little pain in the butt to snap together, but you can use them for so much!! When you buy them, they are flat and you just have to curved them into shape and snap in the clips on the side. I use them for plastic bags and lots more too… I hang one on the wall going down into the basement to hold plastic shopping bags. One tip…ball up one bag at a time when placing them in the dispenser. That way it's easier when you are pulling one bag out at a time. My biggest tip is attaching 2 together…with you know what!! My favorite zip ties. Place 2 dispenser back to back and attach with 2 zip ties on the top… and two zip ties on the bottom , through the inside holes where you would hang them on the wall. When storing taller items in these containers, there is strength when two are attached…"there's safety in numbers". This works great when not hanging them on the wall. Don't forget to trim the zip ties down. Now you can store taller items without the bin tipping over. Great for tall rolls of wrapping paper. Other ideas for the single version… Toilet paper holder. This will hold four rolls. Great to attach to the inside of your bathroom vanity door, under the sink or in the closet. Great in the craft room too, for balls of yarn you have left over from many projects. More ideas that I haven't tried yet… store old rags in garage maybe stack up spools of ribbon and dispense the end of the ribbon through one of the holes kid's toy balls or smaller balls for sports…baseballs, softballs, tennis balls might be great for a scrap fabric bin…might get wrinkled in there, but you could see the fabric. If you have any ideas for the plastic bins…let us know!! Thanks for stopping by, ~Karen~
