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!

Here is a fantastic way to control the flip flop clutter and abolish the flip flop black hole that steals away just the flip without the flop.

Epic! An organizers dream post. I got some great ideas to consider. The junk drawer is always my pet peeve. For sure I’ll be Pinteresting you!
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. 🙂

Excellent! I’m always always looking for ways to organize! Thanks for sharing!!
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.
I cam over from the Home Matters Linky Party
Thanks for stopping by! I’m glad you enjoyed the post… The flip-flop hanger is incredible. 🙂
Who doesn’t need a little organization? Great tips.

There are some really great tips here! And I love that most of the disorganization can be fixed with simple items that we would otherwise toss away. Wrapping the cords with toilet paper rolls and labelling them with plastic tags would absolutely help to keep my sanity. Great to meet you and so excited to be co-hosting our first Home Matters Linky Party!
Sonja, glad you found these tips helpful. We are thrilled to have you as part of the #HomeMattersParty team! 🙂
I love so many of these ideas!! I have tried out a few of them myself!! So excited to be co-hosting #HomeMattersParty with you!! Hope you have a wonderful week.
You know I am ALL ABOUT THESE! LOL I love me some good home organization – great post! #HomeMattersParty rocks! 🙂
Wnat a great post on organization. I so needed the one about junk drawer I love that one. Glad to be cohosting #HomeMattersParty with you.
I know…that junk drawer is awesome! 🙂
These are such great tips. I always feel amazing when I purge and I am shocked at how much I really have!
It is amazing, isn’t it?! Have a great weekend. 🙂
You have just solved one of my biggest problems i.e organizing the foot wear, those hangers are really cool and actually display your entire foot wear collection in a very stylish manner. Many thanks!
I had to pin this post just so I can look back on some of these fabulous ideas as I work through my own house. They are so clever! #HomeMattersParty
These ideas for organizing are so NEAT! I have not seen most of them ever before. I’m definitely getting some letter boxes for our flip flops this summer! #HomeMattersParty
