Tools are something that can be a pain to deal with if you don’t keep them organized. You can end up spending more times searching for the tool you need, then the actual project takes.

Keeping your tools organized can also help save you some money. How many times have you gone out and bought yet another phillips head screw driver because you lost the other one?

The Bucket Boss tool organizer can really come in handy for someone who either works with tools on a daily basis or someone with limited storage space. You could just load up all your tools in this and then set it aside in the corner of your garage. It takes up very little space and when you need a certain tool, you know exactly where to look.

The key to any organization system though, is to make sure you put back the tools where they belong after you have used it. That one step right there will help keep you organized for years and years to come.

Here’s a review from Amazon:

Constructed of durable, rip-proof fabric, the new 56-pocket organizer from Bucket Boss improves on what was already a great idea. Unlike the toolboxes of old, the Bucket Boss organizer stores tools where they’re visible and easy to access. And, with 38 exterior pockets and 18 more on the inside, the Bucket Boss really does have a place for just about everything. We’ve loaded ours down with wrenches, handsaws, screwdrivers, hammers, pry bars, pencils, utility knives, pliers, and drill bit sets. There’s even a padded pocket for your cordless drill. We quickly discovered, however, that depending on how you load it, the Bucket Boss can get a little top-heavy. After ours tipped over in the back of our truck, we reloaded it with our hammerheads down, and it hasn’t tipped since. We recommend the Bucket Boss 56 for remodelers, carpenters, electricians, repair people, or any other professional who brings a lot of hand tools to the job; it also makes the perfect tool kit for do-it-yourselfers moving through the house from room to room and project to project. –Jon Groebner

This tool bag is very reasonably priced at $19.95.

Organize Your Office in No Time

I think that a trash can is a necessity in every room of the house. Some of you may think that duh, that’s obvious. But I have been to people’s houses before for an organizing session, and when I suggested putting a trash can in their kids’ rooms they thought I was brilliant! Ah, shucks!

Trash cans have come a long way baby. In fact, I don’t even want to call them trash cans. Let’s call them a “necessary decor item” for the room. Take a look at these trash cans from The Container Store.

– Isn’t this a beautiful trash can for the kitchen?This could be used other places where you would like red as an accent color.

- Perfect for the office or bedroom.

This would look great in a kid’s room or bathroom or even a girly office.

Now these trash cans can’t help but make me smile! They are adorable. Imagine them in your kids’ bathroom, or an animal themed bedroom or nursery.

What do you do with all those magazines and newspapers? Recycle them! Instead of letting them pile up on your coffee table, end table or floor; put them in this handy recycle can. When it’s full…take it away.

Another handy recycling center. It helps the recycling process not look so messy. You can put it in your kitchen and it looks like a piece of furniture.
