The Importance of Organization: A Tour of My Home and My IKEA Haul

As I walk through my home, you'll notice that everything has its place. From the kitchen utensils stored in clear glass jars to the clothes organized in circular felt bins, every item has a designated spot. And it all starts with IKEA.

For organizing and storing their kitchen utensils, especially if you have a shabby chic vibe going on, I highly recommend these clear glass jars from World Market and Target for half the price at IKEA. These jars are perfect for storing small items like spices, oils, or even kitchen gadgets. The clear plastic cereal container can be used in your car as a car garbage can – it's a great way to keep your vehicle tidy on-the-go. And if you have a furry friend, you can use this container to store their food.

One of my favorite IKEA finds is the felt tour organizer. The shape and design make it perfect for organizing bras, with the raised center providing extra support. This drawer organizer has deeper compartments, making it ideal for storing small items like Carter's toys – I'll be using it to keep his toy bugs, Legos, and blocks organized and compartmentalized.

Another essential item is the boy divider. The larger size with shallower compartments makes it perfect for organizing sunglasses and jewelry. I plan to use it to store my favorite accessories, such as bracelets, earrings, and chokers. And at just three dollars, this container of 30 clothespins is a steal – I'll be using it to close up chip bags or popcorn bags in my kitchen.

The circular felt organizing bins caught my eye due to their vibrant color thread lining. My vision for these is using them in Carter's nursery – I'll put his socks in one and bibs in another, with different baby products stored in each bin. IKEA offers an incredible variety of these bins, with different shapes, sizes, patterns, and colors to choose from.

If you're looking to utilize otherwise dead space, consider an inexpensive IKEA canvas picture or frame under the shoe storage – I've used this hack in my small closet organization video, and it's a game-changer. Another must-have is the wall-mounted tiered file holder rack, which provides ample storage for paperwork without taking up too much space.

For storing and organizing paperwork as a self-employed individual, the pivoting wall-mounted towel rack is an excellent option – I plan to use it to store tank tops, scarves, ties, and belts. And finally, there's the lazy susan on a lazy susan, which has brought me immense joy and wealth. Yes, you read that right – every time a lazy susan is sold, I make five dollars, making me the richest and laziest person in the world.

With my IKEA haul complete, I'm excited to share more organization videos with you. If you'd like to see more IKEA-focused content, please give this article a thumbs up or leave a comment below – it's how I decide what future videos to create.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enI have such a love-hate relationship with IKEA feel like people in there are aggressive it's probably the most aggressive shopping experience I'm being bumped into from all sides people are rushing past me we're all just here to get some meatballs and shelfs it's not that serious hello everyone and welcome back to my channel so yesterday I went into IKEA to pick up Carter a little play kitchen and I hadn't been into Nakia in probably two years or more I got caught in the maze just like everyone else does and something happened it's like the heavens open I was just inspired by all of the different products they had that I could use to organize so that is what we are going to be talking about today I have so many different things so many things IKEA is in 38 countries there's over 300 stores so I'm hoping for my international viewers out there these products are going to be more accessible to you if at any point you're watching and you're thinking I like this video I like her then definitely subscribe I would love to have you if you're watching this and you're not thinking you like me that's okay too I might grow in you we are so close to 900,000 subscribers I have a massive giveaway coming up so look out for that and with all that said let's go into it all right first thing that caught my eye was this lazy susan here's what I want to know who is this Susan woman why was she so lazy what happened to Susan okay so what I was thinking for this is to put it in the refrigerator and use it for your condiments I feel like I've seen this on Pinterest somewhere so instead of having to reach all the way to the back of the shelf you could put all of your products on this and then just twist and grab whatever you need up next is this rubber bin and this was calling my name because I feel like this would be perfect for Carter's outdoor toys he loves running around in the backyard we have so many toys and they're just everywhere and because this is rubber it's going to be weatherproof waterproof or do we need something with a lid now these stainless steel magazine racks or file holders there are so many creative ways to you these around your house you can use these in your pantry and put your potatoes or onions and these so they're easy quick grab you could lay them on their side and use it as a shelf I also use a magazine rack under my bathroom sink and I stack my washcloth in these now this next winner really got me excited here it is so I think this is supposed to be used to organize your scarfs but I was thinking I could hang this in Carter's nursery and use it for his stuffed animals I'm not sure if it's gonna work I will show a cutaway clip now if it did end up working these are the kind of videos I love so much because I just enjoy being creative it's part of the reason I'm on YouTube and I do what I do I'm such a stereotypical lefty like right brains left-handed person up next is this funny-looking hanger I'm pretty sure this is designed to hang your belts or ties I think it could be great for hanging or king tops I have so many different tank tops that are similar styles but just a bunch of different colors so you could just hang them from these little hooks and you can keep seven tank tops on one hanger and save space next up are these clear plastic containers with the lids I just thought these would be great for my under the sink bathroom organization and because they are the clear bins I can see what's inside each one this is a cute little flower base that I thought would also look great in your kitchen for organizing and storing their kitchen utensils especially if you have kind of shabby chic vibe going on so this clear glass jar I had to show because I have bought these recently for world market and Target for a couple different videos I've done and like half the price at IKEA so for this point forward if I mean a glass cookie jar I'm going to get them from Ikea there's a clear plastic cereal container you can use in your car as a car garbage can actually show this idea in my car organization video from like two years ago and I think that this size and shape container would work really well you also could use this to put your dog or cat food in so this little guy I got solely because it's adorable I don't know what this is supposed to be used for and I'm a little stunned I haven't thought of a good use for this so let me know in the comments if you have any ideas maybe bobby pins mints I don't know so this is a felt tour organizer and I thought that the shape of this would be perfect for organizing your bra's it has kind of the raised center now this drawer organizer has the deeper compartments to it and for this I want to use it for Carter's toys so he hides his little toy bugs Legos blocks whatever I could put them in this and keep them compartmentalized and lastly I got this boy divider it is larger with the more shallow compartment and for this I want to use it for organizing sunglasses and jewelry so I was thinking I could put sunglasses here bracelets or earrings here and chokers and these departments this container of 30 clothespins I believe was only three dollars I think that is a great deal and I'm probably going to use this in my kitchen to close up chip bags or popcorn bag and they're in my favorite color so it just makes them that much more exciting these circular felt organizing bins caught my eye they all have different color thread lining and I think they're really cute and my vision for this is using these pink carter's nursery and I was going to put maybe his socks in one this bibs in one just different BB of products in these guys they have it so many different shapes sizes colors patterns of organizing bins this is the only one that I got just to be plain white one but they have them in the cardboard like this they have them in plastic they have them in cloth so if you need bins for garage storage clothing storage office storage IKEA is a great place to go just for the variety and how inexpensive they are they also have these types of drawer organizer so you can segment your clothing drawers and put t-shirts in one sweaters in another it had a bunch of different colors and sizes and patterns but I thought these ones were pretty you can get an inexpensive IKEA canvas picture or frame and use it for under the shoe storage I actually showed this in my small closet organization video but this is one of my favorite organization ideas it's a great way to utilize otherwise dead space I love this wall-mounted tiered file holder rack and what I like about this is that it's very flush to the wall it doesn't take up a lot of space like a full-on file cabinet wood I'm going to use this to store and organize some of our paperwork I am self-employed so I have to keep track of my receipts and bills and invoices and things like that pivoting wall-mounted towel rack I thought could be used in your closet for storing your tank tops scarves ties belts alright so that is going to be it I think we've done enough damage for one trip to Ikea if you did enjoy this and you want me to do more IKEA focused organization videos maybe a dedicated IKEA kitchen organization or IKEA bathroom organization then let me know by giving this a thumbs up or leaving a comment down
