I just perused The Container Store website for holiday storage ideas. So many great ideas that I wanted to share just a few with you. Another storage option for ornaments.  I love the fact that the bottom is clear.  Very visually appealing!  This option is nice because it folds up and can be hung in the closet when not in use.  Storage for fragile ornaments.  And it is lovely! The ultimate gift wrap organizer/wrapping station. Great option for under the bed storage.  Here they also use the small, clear accessory boxes to organize ribbon, tape, etc.

Guest blogger Audra Fettinger gives you solutions on what to do with all of your children's clothing that is no longer "in play." What do I do with all these kid’s clothes? When my children grow out of clothing I put them into one of three places: Save: Clothes that have sentimental value. Too Small: Outfits that I plan to sell. (Garage sale, consign or eBay) Donate: Clothes that are in good, but not excellent condition. Mommy Tips: Label another tote “too big”. Store clothing here that are hand-me-downs or end of the season bargains. You’ll know just where to go when Suzy needs a new pair of pants. Use under the bed storage bins as an alternative to having the totes in the closet. Written by AF

Go vertical! Hang two small plate racks on the wall or closet door. Use them as replacements for in boxes on your desk. Sort bills, mail and receipts. Hang metal cooling racks on the wall to keep note cards where they are easy to access. Hang a paper towel holder on the wall to store art paper or wrapping paper or ribbon.
