I have recently discovered the Clutterbugs styles of organization. I have to say I am a lady bug. Visual simplicity and fast is a must for me as a toddler mom. I day dream about finding the perfect way to store things. 😉
I have been living in my new home since the end of March. I have been trying to find the perfect storage or a cabinet system for shoes, my son’s closet, and cans. I recently went to Ikea and found these items which I love.

Can storage
I actually first used this in my bathroom at my old house for storage. My old house did not have a lot of counter space in the bathroom and I didn’t like things looking smooshed all together. This was a great solution for that.
Now it’s a great solution for my cans. There are 4 shelves and each shelf can hold 6 cans plus another stack of 6 on top. So a total of 12 cans. It fits perfectly in my pantry. I think this could easily be used in almost any room for different storage ideas – art supplies, books/toys, movies, & toiletries. Click here for the shelf unit.
2. Kuggis Box with lid.
My husband spotted these and I love them. They are actually a pretty big size box. Click here to look at the link for this box.
I am using these in my son’s closet. One thing nice about these boxes is they have a flat lid, so the are perfect to stack on top of each other. I use mine in my son’s closet to store old baby items (nursing cover, hats, nail clippers), and some old clothes I’d like to keep.
I think these boxes would work great for storing papers, office supplies, shoes, or under the bed storage! They also seem super easy to wipe clean.
3. Gabbig baskets.
I am starting to become a bit of a basket lover. These Ikea baskets were some of the cheapest baskets I could find. I love the rich brown color.
I wanted to provide some visual simplicity on my shelving unit in my family room. Before the baskets there were so many different types of things just sitting on the shelves. Now I have a basket just for my husbands tools, my son’s educational supplies, electronics, binders, and cookbooks.
Click here for a link to the basket. I plan to buy more of these in the future, if they still have them. The website does say “last chance to buy.”
4. Trones Shoe Storage
We have a shoe problem at my house. My husband has work shoes, mowing shoes, church shoes, and errand shoes. I also have several types of shoes, but I tend to be able to put my shoes up. 😉
My husband wanted to try this in the garage for his shoes and we both love it. It actually goes well with the wall and isn’t big and bulky. I was surprised by the small tray it provided on top, perfect for sunglasses or keys. Click here for link to the Trones shoe storage.
I would highly recommend this product. Click to watch the video for more detail on how we installed it.
I am so happy with all my new storage solutions. If you have any Ikea favorites please leave ideas in the comments. I hope these can help any other lady buggers searching for some perfect baskets and containers!. 😉
Happy Friyay!
