Christmas Is Over. The lights must come down.

While holiday lights and tasteful decorations add warmth to winter the time that they remain up and on should really be limited. With the second week in January about to start, the extended grace period is now over. Do take care in packing things aways as it will make unpacking (eleven short months from now and not any earlier) that much easier.

Organizational bins are available in all shapes, sizes and colors, but like any well designed space, a closet should also reflect a theme. Choose a stackable size container that best fits your storage space and stick with one color (white* being the least offensive and most versatile) so if you need to add another container at a later date you won't be forced to select one that does not match. Remember to purchase containers made of high quality plastic accompanied by strong lids that snap shut. You'll find the best deals on these items throughout the month of January as most people vowe to get more organized. Checkout Container Store for a variety of items that are both functional and well-made: http://www.containerstore.com/

*note: a white plastic bin is least likely to mark your walls if you happen to scuff them when removing bins from a tight space
