Sterilite Storage Containers - Versatile to Store & Organize

There are several brands of storage containers available to store just about any household item, but I find these two types of containers to be extremely versatile, practical and economical. While some containers may be designed for one type of storage, you can often adapt them easily for use where you need them and for whatever you want to organize and store. Their use really is only limited by your imagination.

Sterilite's ClearView 3-Drawer Organizer Model 17918004

These semi-transparent drawer units are my favorite and I have several of them, in different areas of the house. They are 9.25"H x 10.75"W x 13.5"D, so they fit easily on open shelving or on a closet shelf, on a vanity, pantry, counter or cabinet. Though they are not designed to stack, they do it quite well. Just use care when opening drawers if you have them stacked. They have multiple uses and you can add a small label to drawer fronts to further organize. Drawers can be totally removed from the cabinet, by squeezing in the sides slightly and are easy to replace. Here are some of the uses that I've found for them - and storage is certainly not limited to these:

• In the Office: They are perfectly-sized for storing a variety of letter-size photocopy, holiday or photo paper, label pages for CD's or mailing and for small office supplies.
• For product manuals, parts lists and warranty guides.
• In the Laundry Room: To store dryer fabric sheets, laundry mesh bags, hand soap for removing stains, a small mending, button or sewing kit and lint rollers.
• In the Craft Room: Scrapbooking pages and supplies, sewing notions or quilt squares, various craft and hobby supplies.
• To Organize Toys & Games: Game pieces, playing cards, small game boards, building blocks or tiny play doll accessories.
• In the Bathroom: For first aid supplies including dressings, band aids, eye glass cleaning kit, compresses and other small health supplies.
• In the Bedroom: To organize jewelry, scarves and other accessories.
• In the Shop: For small tools, hardware supplies, sandpaper, electrical or plumbing tools and parts.
• For the Sportsman: For fishing lures, bobbers, line, fly-tying tools and supplies
• For the Musician: For assortment of picks, strings and accessories
• For Kitchen Tools & Supplies: Cookie cutters, canning lids and labels, specialty and seasonal kitchen tools, birthday candles and cake decorating supplies.

Sterilite Underbed Storage Box With Latch Lid

These are designed to fit and store under the bed, but can also be placed on wide shelving. They are perfect for bulky sweaters or special clothing, extra purses and evening accessories that you have no room for in the closet or just want to keep more organized. I've also found them handy for general storage of off-season clothing and accessories.

They are 7"H x 25.5"W x 17.75"D and are sold in sets of 2, 4 and 6. They can be stacked and both handles latch securely. The latch holds very well, unless you try to over-stuff the container. I actually prefer these to other clear storage bins for some items, because they are not deep, making finding and retrieving much easier (there's less to remove). Here are a few ways you could use them:

• Clothing, special or off-season
• Bulky clothing like sweaters
• Stored maternity clothing
• Accessories such as purses, scarves, mitts, gloves, evening purses
• Linen such as table cloths, mats or napkins
• Scrapbooking or craft supplies
• Photo albums
• Holiday decorations
• Halloween costumes and accessories
• Memorabilia, collections
• Child's awards, first drawings - things you want to save
