Have you by any chance noticed that I like white? Did you perhaps also notice I enjoy organizing the things around me?
I've been a neat freak since I was a little girl. My dolls clothes were perfectly ironed and my toys well stored in my room. Needless to say Wille's lego was divided by color and type as he was little...
My absolute favourite way of organizing stuff that's not needed every day is in white boxes. I get Kassett at IKEA or similar style boxes and wheely bins at Åhléns and Granit.
Come on, I'll show you where they all go in our house!
On top of the craft space holding gift -bags, -boxes and tissue paper
In Wille's room holding miscellaneous stuff, amongst other things a keychain collection
Again in Willes room holding memorabilia and his drawings
On the floor in Wille's wardrobe holding school memorabilia and books
On the top shelf of our wardrobe holding old letters, seldomly used craft supplies, mittens, scarves, you name it and it has it's own box
Under the basement stairs holding old plush friends of the family
And again under the stairs. Here holding sport equipment, trainers and bags
That concludes the White Storage Tour 08 this time around. Hope you've enjoyed the ride. Please come again.
That's a lot of boxes! They look great though.

Benita! This is such a useful blog post! I am good at organizing things that clearly have a home...but you've clarified for me that there can be places for little things that collect and have no permanent home.
After seeing your IKEA Kassette boxes in your flickr photos, I purchased some for my home but have yet to put them all into place.
I will soon remedy that..thanks to you!

I am a very keen shopper of ikea and share your storage love. What a beautiful, light-filled house you have.

I have to say IKEA is one of my favourite places to shop, it has been for years. I'm going to reorganise some of my stuff into white boxes! Woohoo IKEA here I come :)

So clean and neat looking. You have such a talent for organizing and making it look so designer in the process.

Åh, vad glad jag är att jag hittade hit. Jag är en sann ordningsmänniska i själen, men efter tredje barnet och andra katten har jag anammat en mer ledig attityd till organisation och städning... Försöker efter amningsdimman att åter bringa ordning till detta något röriga hus. Kommer komma tillbaka ofta och samla inspiration!
Kram P.
