hello 2011!

It is officially the New Year and with 2011 come many resolutions.  Each year my resolution is some version of the same theme, to eat healthier and get organized!  Since this isn't a food blog and I'm helpless in the kitchen, let's tackle ways to keep your home in shape and how to make room for all of your new gifts/purchases this holiday season...

Neoprene storage/cases/totes from Built may be some of the greatest items ever created.  Perfect to carry cold bottles of champagne to your next girls night dinner, or to protect your brand new electronic gadget.

These tweed drawer organizers from The Container Store are a great solution for closet nic-nacs.  Perfect sizes to accommodate belts, bangles, headbands and sunglasses.

This Closetmaid 15 Unit Organizer from Target is the perfect storage for shoes.  Stack a few to create a wall/tower of easy-access, viewable shoe storage.  Tip: leave one divider out of the unit to fit in boots.

Under-counter space in the bathroom seems to always get crowded with random bathroom necessities.  The Elfa Mesh Start-A-Stack drawer system from The Container Store  is a great fit for hairsprays, hot tools, brushes, etc.

If you don't have adequate wine storage, this rustic wine cube from Velocity Art & Design would look great in any kitchen or dining room.  Set a few side-by-side beneath a console, or stack on top of a bar.
