We could all benefit from a more organized life, right? Today we share our favorite DIYs to keep yours organized at home.

This DIY acrylic calendar doesn’t need to be replaced every year (thanks to dry-erase markers) and looks pretty on an office wall.
Tip: Use multicolored dry-erase markers for different events so it’s easy to see what kind of activities you have planned for the week.
Need more space for your accessories? Elsie hung shelves with gold hooks on her closet wall to hang jewellery, bags and hats.
You can also use hexagonal buttons instead of hooks, and if you’re organizing a child’s room, a set of animal hooks would be cute.
Speaking of closet organization, Elsie shared her favorite closet organization tips (like using a label printer and implementing open storage for special items) in this post.
An acrylic earring holder or a set of clay ring trays can really keep your jewelry in check.
You can easily organize dry goods in your kitchen with two things – crayons and storage jars.
Don’t forget that adding countertop canisters also saves you a lot of back and forth in the pantry.
Are you looking for a unique way to store items in your bathroom? You can make a hidden medicine cabinet that looks like wall art.
This DIY bench includes built-ins for storing practically anything – especially toys and books in a child’s room.
Large rope baskets are also perfect for open toy/blanket storage and easy access.

Outfitting your pegboard with items like this tool kit will keep your cuteness factor in check too.

Where is your current nail polish stash? Ours is in a drawer somewhere and it’s always hard to find what we’re looking for. Open shelves for your nail polish? Yes, please.
