How to Organize Every Room in the House With Baskets
Get rid of clutter easily by investing in some stylish storage. Our friends at Style Me Pretty Living have some suggestions for you.
As an apartment dweller in New York City (read: minimal square footage), I'm always thinking about new, creative ways to organize unsightly "things" in the prettiest way possible. My current favorite catch-all storage solution? Baskets! They're a practicality made pretty that can't be beat in my book for organizing anything and everything!
