 :thumbsup:  I just bought a bunch of those plastic bins that have tops on them.. some are see through. I've been putting stuff in those, and stacking them up, so I can see what's in them, and they don't take up so much room.

If you have a lot of things, just buy some small cardboard boxes from places like Home Depot and label the category of the items in there.

I use old pill bottles to separate small things like tacks from screws and then keep in a tray for easy access

I am also big on those plastic see-thru bins!   I use a really large one in our closet for shoes!

  :-[ I ashamed to say that I'm in the same boat. I'm in the area of pack rat - hoarder. I know, when you finally clean up, you end up not able to find anything! You put the item somewhere safe....so safe you can't find it. Usually, I would place the important Item in a designated place so it will not be misplaced or prepare needed equipment/items the night before. Make sure that everyone in the family is on the same page when cleaning up. It doesn't help if you clean up & others continue to mess up behind you. Check out the net for free organization tips, there's thousands of them out there. Good luck. :thumbsup:
