Super useful, esp. to get rid of clutter.

Ummmm… not really! Storing clutter in fancy containers is NOT getting rid of it… you are just hiding it!. Those listed above are all good to house useful items, ones that are used a lot and tend to get scattered about. “Rid of clutter” means that you need to give it away or recycle or toss…. get it out of the house.

Its very creative and useful. You could even have it as a colorful design in your house. I think I could also use recycled materials, colored and put some arts on it to look more creative and artful. :)

I loved this. It took me to websites with even more ideas. I am in a position that I do not have too much stuff I need to organize the clutter I have. ( 2 and 3 year old can mess up a clean house in 1.24 minutes.)
