    We have a designated hanger for them in our closets. I believe I show it in my closet makeover for my husband. I've also seen people show baskets that they get from the dollar tree and throw them in. Good luck!

    Ever look back on your older videos and feel that sense of pride when you see how far these videos got you 8 years later?
    You are an amazing person. Keep it up! I love your videos! 👏🏽🙌🏼💗

    I love Kathryn's videos! It's interesting to watch her older ones like this ones.....now she is a Mom of one and soon to be another one. I have learned so much from her videos. My bedroom closet looks amazing and my pantry/laundry room look amazing because of her. I encourage you to watch all of her videos including her Do it on a Dime Family :)

    Can I just say that your bins make me happy! My husband always says “oh my word, you and your darn bins!! Nobody organizes like that!” Ha! I’ve been using bins for years and years because it feels so clean and less anxiety inducing. Recently he asked me to help him organize his garage. Guess what he said “I can’t believe I’m even asking you this, but I need a bin idea...” 😆 the teaser has become the student!!! Loving your videos thank you!!

    thank you :) i believe it was from either walmart or target, but i know they carry similar products at both. good luck!

    I saw your video and decided to try the basket idea. And I really liked it! Even though I don't have much stuff, I like having "a home" for everything so that I know where it goes, and I can reach for it right away. It helps me feel like I'm being a good steward of the stuff that I do have. Thanks again for the idea!

  • @DoItOnaDime
    @DoItOnaDime  11 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Having separate baskets for lights and darks work really well for me so it doesn't get full so fast. A laundry room tour is on my list! Thanks for watching!

  • @dragonstrove8175
    @dragonstrove8175 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I've shown almost all of your videos to my mother, who wants to organize them home. She said "Wow! She's got ideas for everything!" Totally love watching your videos. Truly you've inspired me to become creative with space!

  • @DoItOnaDime

    Thanks :) I got the cabinet from BB&B a while back! I'm pretty sure they still have them...

    I loved your laminating tip. I have been using it and I just made some awesome labels for 2 wire baskets I have in my office for photo albums and maps. I printed the labels on some parchment type resume paper, cut them out, wrinkled them up and then lightly singed the edges with a lighter. I laminated them and hung them on the baskets and they look so cool- thanks to you! Love your videos!!

  • @michele1955a

    try using long laundry baskets for deep kitchen cabinets to be able to slide out and reach less frequently used items. a real knee saver!

  • @MonogramGold
    @MonogramGold 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I recently bought the green square bins that you have in your bath closet. Considering the thickness, I find it a really good item from the Dollar Tree. For this fall, they have brought out the same design but in a deep purple, red and orange colors. And, I bought the larger version for my office cabinets (boss seemed pleased to see things more organized).
    I recall in 1 of your videos you saying to keeps colors the same to give a cohesive look. I'm drawn to the green DT offers. I love it!

  • @lemyaknight
    @lemyaknight 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I did just one shelf in my cabinet where we keep the snacks(it was a HOT mess) with your suggestions and my DH was like "Wow that looks good!" I felt like an organizing goddess LOL!!! I'm going to keep my eyes open for inexpensive baskets and then I'll probably spray paint them so they coordinate with the décor. Thanks for the ideas! Love the energy!!

  • @Lesley1000
    @Lesley1000 11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Yes I use food cans. Ive used soup tins with the label off for some of my sample perfumes and even some flat mackerel tins (I know it sounds gross, but when they are washed they are fine and not on show) and I use these for Kirby grips and other hair slides:)

  • @Weird1Nessa
    @Weird1Nessa 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    OM- Jibabah!!! Love the way you think! Organize on the cheap side and spend on the fun stuff! Great ideas with making odds and ends organized! You could move so easily and do spring cleaning so much easier. I'm impressed with the fact you took it as a fun challenge rather than a task. Great JOB!!!

    This organizing video is the best I've seen because it realistic for the majority of people. Those dollar stores can be lifesavers.

  • @Parmesana
    @Parmesana 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    good job. In my kitchen cabinet I have a couple of those drawer trays..baking spices in one and savory spices in the other. After the jar of spaghetti sauce is gone..and jar is washed out, it is a great size to put dry rice or beans to store.

  • @saudademe

  • @EKW111
    @EKW111 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Kathryn, you've inspired me, and I've found a few things at my Dollar Tree that are helpful organizing in our house. Have you ever used diaper boxes for organization? There are lot of DIY videos/blog posts on how to cover them with fabric. I haven't tried that yet, but I have used scrapbook paper. Sturdy, no additional cost in our household, and pretty once I put paper on them. I'd love to see a video if you do a project with diaper boxes.

  • @goodgirlgeorgy
    @goodgirlgeorgy 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Neat ideas...love the cosmetic bags in the cabinet...you can find lots of them at the Goodwill store. I have some I use to organize my purse! One has pen, paper, calendar, checkbook. Another has my make-up, another has my camera and extra batteries, one has my cell phone and address book, etc.

  • @curlyshow
    @curlyshow 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    OK yeah, this is what I've been looking for. Organizing for the average person. Not another show home, renovation, or impractical ideas for renters. Off to the Dollar Tree! Love your "lamination" machine!

  • @darknessbtw-_-9557

    I re-use the zippered plastic bags that pillowcases (I buy all my bedding at Ross) come in for bottles when I travel - baby oil, perfume, makeup, etc. They are handy, easy to clean, see-thru and it's not a tragedy if you end up having to toss one.

  • @DoItOnaDime
    @DoItOnaDime  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    I got them from Dollar Tree as well. I've gone before and they are sold out, but they are still on their website, I think. I'll put the "laminating" video on my list. :) Take care!

    I think your videos are great. Yesterday I organized my bathroom. I used several of your tips and because of you I used a couple of things already had. I also got some things at Dollar Tree. It saved me a lot of money. I have watched several of your videos and I think you should have your own show. Great job!!

    Kathryn - I love your videos but I've never commented before so I decided to come back to an old favorite for my inaugural comment! Keep up the good work! (We used to live in an area without a Dollar Tree, however we recently moved and there's on nearby. My husband actually laughed when I pointed it out because he knows I like to watch your videos, and he knows you like the Dollar Tree :) )

    Tip I learned about the Go od will stores. Go to the ones in areas where the pricier homes are because they have the best selection on good quality stuff. If you go to the ones in more depressed areas you won't find as good stuff.

    Love your organization, may I recommend Huggable Hangers to you from HSN. Truly the last hanger you will ever buy. There are some imitations out there but the flocking wears off so don't be fooled. The hanger is slim and nothing ever falls off of it. My clothes closet is now a thing of beauty instead of a nightmare. Btw I also purchased canvas organizers with multiple pockets of various sizes that go on the back or front of a door. I use in the kitchen for alum foil, plastic wrap,

    A very good, clear container for putting bras and undies, socks etc., is the containers that salad greens come in. They are square plastic. The clear, plastic containers from Sams Club that nuts come in also, hold cotton balls, home made powder laundry detergent, hotel shower caps etc.

  • @DoItOnaDime
    @DoItOnaDime  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    unfortunately i don't. when i lived in spain, i used to go to those cheap stores that were usually owned by people from asia that sold lots of organizing products. i've seen them there before for just a couple of euro. do you have those in finland?

    @inspiredcare2309 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    enjoyed it, I too store my cotton balls and q-tips and white floss picks in clear jars, I use Mason jars and have tan labels and it really pulls together that southern looking I'm striving for , I live in a single wide, with my husband and four kids, and my coupon stockpile, lol, organisation is my only means of sanity, Mason jars are my new organisation tactic though, I think cause I can decorate and organise :) :) :) get it girl!!!!

  • @sheri4673
    @sheri4673 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Nice Video! Thank you for some great ideas! Let me add for the pet owners out here- the best food storage tip that works for me is to store dry food and a scoop in a kitchen drawer- inside a slightly smaller plastic bin to line/protect the drawer. Now, my dogs don't chew or scratch- some pets might just claw their way into the drawer- my don't, not for 4 years of storing their food this way. It's soooo easy to feed every morning. I also use a dish-drainer pad under their food and water bowls- it catches a lot of drips that otherwise turn into wet paw prints....

    Omg - I wish I had a friend like you here where I live! We think "exactly" alike! I absolutely HATE buyers remorse...if I have to pay full price for something, I'll sit there and ponder and ponder it-half the time i just say 'forget it' and take it back. BUT at goodwill or other thrift shops, its like a treasure hunt, an adventure. You feel good about it bc you know you got a deal. Plus you can't take things back! Lol. (I think clothes can be exchanged for like 7 days, though)
