One of the unique concepts she talks about are clutterbugs! She says everyone has a different organizing style and simplifies them with the bugs. There are crickets, ladybugs, butterflies, and bees! Two of the bugs crave less visible stuff in a room. Two other bugs prefer that most of their things are visible at all times. She also describes how to organize a home that contains multiple bugs. One method to organizing a home with both a visual and non-visual bug in it, is to use LOTS of labels. Labels are an easy way to tell what is in a bin or basket or cabinet. But you don't have to see the stuff you are storing. Here's an example in the cube storage for my office area.
Here is a close up of one of the labels.
I used Scotch Self-seal laminating pouches. No machine required! I also made labels for my son's room. It is Totoro themed! The first time I used velcro dots to attach them. I also just cut them out of paper. BAD IDEA!!! He ATE them!! So I remade them and laminated them. I also used industrial strength velcro strips to attach them to the bins! We will see if they survive! Here is a picture of the final product.
Here is a close up of one of the labels.
My husband and I are the ones using these labels to put his clothes away. If I were making these labels for him to put away toys. I would have made pictures on the labels not just words. Almost all children need very visual reminders if you have any hope of them putting away toys!
I hope this post helps you get organized. But more so I hope it inspires you to take a second and a small budget and add a little cuteness/beauty as you do!
