Under my bed I have a long pull out container that I keep my shoes in. I never have to walk to the closet to put them away, because I just keep them out of sight right under my bed.
In the bathroom I use a lot of different containers to keep things tidy. A pretty container with a lid helps keep personal items personal and handy. Next to my sink a crystal candy dish holds my decorative soaps.
Planters are great to use next to the toilet for the toilet brush. I also use planters in the shower to hold shower items. A large planter holds combs and hair brushes. A smaller planter holds my make-up brushes. My necklaces look real pretty hung on the neck of an angel in the corner on the counter.
Also on the counter in my bathroom I have items arranged on a tray so that counter clean up is easy. Just slide the tray over to wipe down one side then slide it to the other side to finish wiping down the counters.
Now for my kitchen and all things messy I use place mats. I use a color coordinated cloth place mat under the toaster over, plastic place mat under dogs dishes and indoor grill. On top of the place mat I also use a cookie sheet under the grill that has never been used in the oven so it looks new all the time. The non-stick cookie sheet makes clean up easy and holds any drips that miss the drip pan. I also use a decorative tray under the coffee pot to make it easier to pull out to pour in the water and contain mess.
Now last but not least on the tray that holds my coffee maker I also have a pretty dish I decided to use as a trash container for the empty sweetener packets that never make it to the trash can. If you can not beat them join them in a prettier way. Now my family use the dish and I just empty it out when full.
