Parents treasure their children's artwork but sometimes the piles of artwork produced by future Picasso's can be overwhelming.
Kim Cossette, is a certified professional organizer and says what to do with children's artwork that will control the clutter, yet encourage your young one's creativity.
First, designate a "Wall of Fame" in a place where the family can enjoy your kids' creations. Using shelves of strings, showcase their best artwork and rotate the pieces with new masterpieces. Cycle them so there is always something new on display.
After removing old works of art, store them (and other creations made during the school year) in a designated box or bin. In the summer, sort through the pile and decide which drawings are worth saving. For large pieces, take digital photos and create a memory book of their best work.
When it comes to junk drawers, Susan Fox owner of Chaos 2 in Chicago, says people can give themselves permission to have a junk drawer but it needs to be an organized one.
First pull everything out, sort and find homes for the disparate object stuffed in the drawer. Use organizing trays made for keys, scissors and pens. Batteries should be stored in a container with other batteries, and tools should be stored in a plastic box with other tools.
