easy organizing: top ways to use vessels

Is the stuff in your home overflowing and preventing you from having a serene, joyful and stress-free home? Invest in vessels.

A vessel, as defined by the Oxford Dictionary, is any hollow container. One of my favourite vessels for storage is a recycled glass jar - I use them for practically everything from food to tea to craft supplies to buttons to laundry detergent to soaps to office supplies. They're great because you can easily see what's in them and when you need to stock up again. And they're easy to come by  - just recycle them from soup or sauces, or pick a few up at the local flea market.

Baskets and crates of course are another good idea for organized storage. Natural fiber baskets and vintage wire varieties work well, as do antique wooden crates.

Trays, dishes, cans and bowls are also very useful and stylish for rounding things up and keeping them neat and tidy.

I hope these inspire you to gather and organize using budget supplies you can recycle and reuse - it's easy and cheap and makes your day-to-day life at home some much more functional, stylish and peaceful. Happy organizing!
