Organizing 101: Magazine Basket

Thirty-One offers so many great products. One of my favorites is definitely the Magazine Basket. There are two sizes and they are perfect for almost anything! (Sorry, I don't have a picture to go along with this post...I can't find my camera)

The small basket is approximately 10”L x 16.5”h x 6”d and the medium basket measures approximately 12”l x 20”h x 7.5”d. Both sizes are great for anything and everything.

Right now, my medium basket is sitting next to my front door with my most worn flip-flops and an umbrella. There is a small basket next to my bed with a few magazines and books. There are times when my decorating side kicks in and I change things up a bit.

As for other organizing ideas…

Both of the baskets are perfect in the bathroom! That’s right, Thirty-One is even looks good in the bathroom! In the small basket, two extra rolls of toilet paper fit perfectly on either side of the handle, and magazines slide perfectly in the basket, making it a stylish storage space. Roll up your towels and arrange them neatly in the medium basket to display them in a corner, making it an easy grab for guests.

Use the medium basket for organizing all those gift bags, bows and ribbons you have. Ribbon spools slide onto the handle and stay there. No more rolling around and getting smashed! My biggest problem with buying spools of ribbon, is that they always ended up crumpled. Not anymore! The spools fit perfectly on the handles and make pulling the ribbon off a breeze. Gift bags, tissue paper, and gift tags fit perfectly in the basket, making everything you need within reach. You can even stand up rolls of wrapping paper in there!

The small basket will make a great home in baby’s room. Use it in a corner to hold books, blocks, stuffed animals and more. You can also use it for storing diapers, wipes, and baby powder next to the changing table. Of course, if your little one is crawling or walking now, wipes and baby powder on the floor might not be a great idea J Perfect for holding little shoes and socks, as well!

Use the large basket next to the couch. Roll up your favorite blanket and stock a few magazines and books for some relaxing time before bed. You can also toss those annoying remotes out of sight when company comes!
