Better Homes And Garden offers some great solutions for turning old trash or trinkets into marvelous solutions for home organization. And besides that, I just love the way these look.
Need to organize your desk drawer. Try using a muffin tin or a popover pan is even suggested for deeper storage.
“Fork Clips” to hold everything from photos to business cards. What a great way to show off your miss-matched utensils that are too pretty to store or throw away.
Have a favorite mug, tea cup or demitasse… display it on your office desk for inspiration. It can double as a holder for your pens, paper clips or thumb tacks.
I love this one. Old drawer pulls make excellent hooks for your reading glasses and keys. Curtain clip rings are pictured here holding papers and business cards. You could even use this to display your favorite photos.
I love finding beautiful silver pieces when I am out garage saling or flea marketing. Put these pieces to use on your desk to organize everything from mail, check books, stamps and spare change.

I just adore the cute little birdie on that teacup, I’m so jealous you have it.
Patricia, isn’t the fork wall cool! I would like to do that, and maybe paint some sort of border or something around the collection.

Both my home and office became cluttered over time and I even tried some of the tips that you have here. After a while though I ended up having to hire an organizational consultant to help me reorganize my home and office just so I could get rid of clutter and get things back in order. It was the best thing I have done for my home business. I’ve maintained everything she helped set up. These are good tips but sometimes clutter just gets to big.
