Home Style: Round storage ottoman

Categories: Home Style, Organized Living

No Comments

I’m always looking for furniture that can do double-duty — namely, help me keep my clutter under control. This microfiber-upholstered ottoman is perfect for stashing your remote-control collection or video games in the family room, or for hiding the tiny stuffed animals and toy cars usually strewn on the floor of your kids’ rooms. It comes golden brown or tan, so it’ll work with pretty much any decor; at 16-inches-by-17-inches, it’s small enough to tuck in a corner but large (and sturdy) enough to use as an extra seat.

$24.99 at Target.

Organized Living: Keychain tote

Categories: Organized Living, Travel Gear

No Comments

I used to constantly forget to take my reusable grocery bags with me when I went shopping, so I decided to keep them in the trunk of my car. Now, I constantly forget to take them into the store. But I (almost) always remember my purse. These keychain tote bags fold up to just 4-1/4 inches by 2-1/4 inches — smaller than a back of cards — so even two or three of them take up barely any room inside my purse. But they open into a roomy 15-inch by 15-1/4 inch by 3-1/2 inch carry-all — plenty big enough to haul some serious groceries (or souveniers, if you like to travel).

$9.85 (two or more, $7.85 each) at Magellan’s.

Organized Living: List Caddy

Categories: Organized Living

1 Comment

We’re all trying to shop smarter these days, clipping coupons and sticking to our lists when we hit the grocery store. But that stack of money-savers does you no good if you don’t remember to bring it with you — or if they fall out of your hands and scatter across the cereal-aisle floor. The List Caddy clips easily to the handlebar of your shopping cart to hold you list and coupons (as well as a pencil, so you can cross things off as you go). When you’re not shopping, it sticks to the fridge with built-in magnets, so you can add to your list easily during the week.

$3.99 each at ListCaddy.com.

The pictures are easy to understand, and they come in girl- or boy-specific 18-label packs (with extra, blank labels that parents can customize).

Cambridge, Massachusetts-based artist Nancy Hausman’s classic notecards and calendars are ideal for last-minute gift giving. Reproduced from original oil-crayon drawings, the simple images are saturated with rich color. Brown kraft-paper envelopes are included with the set of eight 4 1/2- by 5 1/2-inch notecards, and the desktop calendars come in two varieties: a clever accordian style and a compact self-standing style bound with loops of copper wire.

Notecards, $8, calendars, $12 to $14, at Nancy Hausman Designs.
