Hello,

The day before yesterday and yesterday, I did quite a bit of sorting and tidying round the house.
In particular, I tidied away the controllers and other accessories for the children’s games consoles.
And I realised that they were leaving them lying around everywhere, even though they have boxes to put them in.
So yesterday, I took it a step further: I labelled the boxes so that they know where to put things.

What about you – do you label your storage boxes?
 
Here are the boxes

I LOVE your awesome labels! They are so much fun! I hope it helps them put things into the boxes, but as a mom of two boys, they just don't care about organizing things like I do. :giggle

I do like to label boxes, but my labeling is usually a sharpie marker on the outside of cardboard boxes, so no where near as fun as your labels!
 
Those are fabulous labels. I've written on some boxes and bins, but not everything. I tend to move things around, so if I use clear bins then I can see what's inside and not have to label. It helps that it's just me and hubby at home now, so most things stay in their place. My craft room is the exception. I'm still trying to get it organized in a way I like. I've tried a few things, but it's a work in progress.
 
I love your labels! I was a big organizer when the kids were home (clear boxes). Now, I am clearing things out and have a stack of empty bins. Once those are gone, I know I have successfully finished decluttering!
 
Those labels are so cute! I only label the gray storage bins in my closet and I just use a strip of duct tape and Sharpie.
 
I love your labels! You are so organized! I will sometimes label things with sticky notes and a sharpie, especially if it is something temporary. Otherwise, just use storage containers.
 
I have labels on photo boxes, but I don't really have any other storage boxes. I have a basket that holds books, journals, pens, lotion, Tylenol...right by where I sleep. And another one with all my medications and supplements in it. Then, there's the basket with all my Color Street nail strips that now also holds my blood pressure cuff and glucose monitor. Nothing labeled, though. I like your labels, though!
 
Those are great labels! I have labeled a little, but mostly I chose boxes/baskets that allow their contents to be seen so I don't need to label them.
 
I am slightly a neat freak... not for everything but for that yes.
I have labels for my fridge containers and also for my pantry.... oh wait, for boxes above my washing machine too lol
Maybe I'll take pictures and show lol
I am actually quite proud of my "Nini-made" magnet labels for my fridge. I have tin containers for things like hubby's kimchi (smelly and stain so I don't use plastic anymore), my cheese, marinated Japanese veggies and other things we keep a lot in our fridge so I made some labels that stick to the can but can be taken off when I clean the container and change the content. Maybe I'll scrap about it :rollin

Well -- of course I do. I have two label makers. LOL. Now does my husband pay attention to said labelling -- that's another question.

I am also in the process of going through things in my basement. It's going to take a while. LOL I've been labeling the bins I've gone through with my label maker and the date I went through it.

Wow. That is next stage oranization. My fridge becomes the wild west by the end of the week then I clean it out before going to the store and re-organize it.
