Five on Friday

Happy Friday!  With spring right around the corner (I hope!), I've definitely caught the organizing and cleaning bug. A few weeks ago I did some purging and organizing in our bathroom and this past weekend I did the same thing with our desk drawers. So today's Five on Friday is all about organization.....

//1// I am in desperate need for a new system for organizing my jewelry. It is currently hanging on two different stands on my dressers, in a box on my nightstand and in an assortment of trays. I don't have an expectation that I'm going to find one jewelry box or container to hold it all but I definitely need a better system. Any suggestions?

//2// I have been inspired by Cassie's DVD streamlining and I am ready to do the same with our collection. We have a great entertainment stand with doors that is filled with DVDs and video games plus a DVD stand. I would love to streamline this into one container that is hidden in our entertainment stand and frees up some shelves. I think we would keep some of the TV series box sets in tact but pitch the rest of the plastic containers. I hope I can get P on board with this soon!

//3// For a while I've been wanting to clean out our bookshelves. They sent in our office/den so they do get neglected. Also since we are limited on space, P and I have transitioned to reading on our iPads through the Kindle app and buying less books (although I still like the feel of holding the book). I know there are books on our shelves that we will never read again and could be donated to a library. I'd also like to style them better with our picture frames and keepsakes. Here are few inspirations from Pinterest.





//4// Our coat closet could use some help. Again it's an area where we've been keeping things that we never use or holding onto coats that we haven't worn in a couple of seasons. It's time to let go of the extra stuff and make the closet more functional.

//5// Now that the cabinets in our bathroom are so functional and organized, it's time the cabinet under our sink get the same treatment. I think another trip to Bed, Bath & Beyond to pick up one of these should do the trick.

Is there anything on your spring cleaning list? Do you have any suggestions on tackling any of my projects?

Have a great weekend!!
