(Part 2) Best storage baskets, bins & containers according to redditors

I live in the UK, only thing that melts from the heat here is butter and that's on a good day.

I thought you were referencing the boxes being in the window -_-

Here u go

A small decorative fabric box, laid on the floor with the opening facing the toilet. Then cover the opening with another cloth, like a curtain.

Bonus, you can store toilet paper in there, too.

Ah, this is a cookie/biscuit problem. In the U.S., a "bin" usually means a storage box, not a garbage can. Here's a random example.

I use these https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005H3GAM2?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share and they hold 1K 9mm or about 750 .45 ACP

Moving too many damn times.

I moved 10 times in 7 years - some of those were crosscountry moves! And none of those are counting the times I moved rooms within the same dorm.

It was exhausting. And at some point I realized... I don't use most of this stuff. Things that sit in the back of the closet until the next move, inside the same falling-apart cardboard box as 5 moves ago, is doing me no good. So I started getting rid of stuff. I got pretty ruthless about it. The stuff I don't regularly use now sits in one of three 30-quart plastic bins.

haha it is indeed a banana hanger

This.

I keep mine in one of these, it's exactly the perfect size and I'd say it probably holds about 45-50 7" singles. Only downside is that it might not be stylish enough for a living room.

You've done an amazing job. I'm going to use yours as an inspiration for my someday future battlestation. :) When you get those drawers organized please show us! I think those little plastic narrow drawers organizers you can get everywhere would work great. http://www.amazon.com/United-Solutions-Plastic-Storage-Baskets/dp/B005BYKO3I/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1382273832&sr=8-5&keywords=small+basket

If you have room for a shallow bin or two, you can fold underwear and socks so that they are filed and easy to grab. It just takes more effort beforehand. I recently reorganized my drawers this way and it freed up so much space and made everything more organized.

Another idea is to have these hanging shelves somewhere: http://www.amazon.com/Whitmor-6351-1234-JAVA-Organizer-Collection-Accessory/dp/B001KMRZ0U/

You can buy bins and then consequently organize your underwear and shirts like the previous video shown.

Only hang what you need to, like suits, dresses, and jackets.

Boxes look like these and are what I use: Ziploc WeatherShield 44 Quart Storage Box, 4 Pack, Clear https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MWTJXHS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_7U8RBbM011YZ6

I bought two of these clever crates from Costco for $13 each

Why, I have no idea what you ladies are talking about. It's perfectly normal to have six of these along with one of these and countless amounts of these to hold all my craft/shopping stuffs. Plus, as I was telling /u/gingysnap , I have a craft closet as well as our garage is just one big storage closet. I don't think I have a shopping problem or anything. ;)

Additionally the bins I buy stack with about 12.7 centimeters of room between each bin which is similar to the worm farm 360.

I ordered 24K worms yesterday. Ordering 24K more of the dealer is good.

Sure! i got it on amazon uk but annoyingly its out of stock.

First official post here. Wanted to share my 2017 Mazda3 Sport GS Automatic in Soul Red Metallic. Named her after Julianne Moore. I bought my 3 last June from Jeff Holley at Mazda of Toronto - like so many others, can't recommend this man enough.

I cleaned her up in time for Spring (Ontario, the snow is finally all melting after the recent brutal ice storm), picked up my summer rims and tires yesterday from Allen at Simply Tire in Toronto, and took a bunch of exterior and interior photos for you lovely folks:

In case anybody is interested in some of the things I've since added to my 3, I'm including links!

Wheels: RTX Envy Black Machined Bronze 17x7.5 40mm offset

Tires: Hankook Ventus S1 Noble H452 215/50/17

Scuff Plates: Mazda OEM Scuff Plates

Hatch Sill Guard: Mazda OEM Rear Bumper Guard

Mats: Mazda OEM All-Weather Floor Mats

Hatchback Mat: Mazda OEM Cargo Tray

Dash Cam: Aukey DR02-CA 1080p Dash Cam (routed through the headliner, down through the driver's side weather stripping and hardwired into the fusebox)

Start/Stop Button Red Ring: Found on eBay for $3 CAD!

Alloy Gas/Brake/Dead Pedals: Also found on eBay for around $30 CAD, no drilling required

Phone Mount: iOttie Easy One Touch 3 mounted to the side of the storage space under the A/C controls. (Incredibly sturdy, clever mount/unmount mechanism, and hardly moves when on the road.)

Trunk Crate: CleverMade 46 Litre CleverCrate (Found at a much lower price and in red at Costco)

Hope you like!

>Deck construction, I enjoy it but my wife hates it :(

I mildly enjoy deck construction, but most of my decks are pretty similar because I can't be bothered to hunt for cool combos or anything. Generally my upgrades are the same for all my ranged decks / melee decks / etc, and I use the same 8-10 removal cards. There are probably only 6-10 cards different in each deck. Also: Every one of my decks is aggro. I don't like playing mill/choke because it's not fun to play against, and why would I do that to someone?

>Hard to store and organize efficiently :(

I can agree with the organizing part, but storing is easy. I use a large IRIS photo keeper for the dice, and a standard white hobby box for the cards. Keeping the cards actually organized is easy, but keeping the dice organized beyond just color never works =(

Well, the case only really matters if you see yourself traveling with the headphones often.

The stand is honestly more for style than function. There's a bit of function in keeping your headphone off the desk, but it just looks nicer overall. The cheapest you can go on a stand is literally a banana stand. I honestly don't think it looks half bad.

I have a bookshelf next to my desk dedicated just to embroidery stuff. For floss I just use 6 of those plastic thread organizer boxes. I keep a long pencil tray, like this, where I keep random odds and ends that I want within easy reach (like needles, scissors, Fray Check, etc.). Fabric (whether flat or in a long tube) get stacked neatly on another shelf. I also keep a small bucket of scrap fabric there, which comes in handy when I want to test a new stitch or see how colors look together or something. Another shelf near the bottom holds rarely used supplies. And I have a magazine holder like this for patterns.

As for WIP and finished pieces, they go in this large binder. WIP go in the rainbow accordion file in the front (the fabric & pattern) - one per divider. I put finished projects in a clear plastic sheet protector on the rings. It's fun flipping through seeing everything I've done, and it's nice having most of them in one place to show other people. Large projects that don't fit in the binder when finished are usually gifts or one of the few things I put on display.

I use this organizer to store the thread colors of current WIPs so I don't have to put them back in the main storage every single time I stitch (plus small scissors and needles), and it is also quite convenient to slip in a bag or purse if I want to bring a project with me.

I have 6 of these: https://www.amazon.com/Ziploc-WeatherShield-Quart-Storage-Clear/dp/B00MWTJXHS

And one of these in each: https://www.amazon.com/Eva-dry-333-Renewable-Dehumidifier-2-PACK/dp/B00LVN7BM0

It's worked well for me as I've yet to have an issue with moist filament, but I print in an upstairs room where the humidity rarely goes over ~35% unless it's raining, in which case it can get as high as 50%.

-----

PLA is less susceptible to issues regarding moisture but that does not make it immune. AFAIK all of the common filaments (PLA, PETG, ABS & Nylon - more or less in that order) can all become moist.

I'd suggest getting a humidity sensor such as this one and see what the humidity is like in your basement: https://www.amazon.com/AcuRite-Accuracy-Temperature-Humidity-Monitor/dp/B01HDW58GS

Also, in my experience most PLA doesn't usually have much noticeable odor. What brand of filament are you using?

You may want to consider a dry box setup such as one of these:

https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2778707 (I am working on something similar to this one... eventually)

https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1999478

There are also commercially available options.

SELF_CONTAINED SPED
Our kids are walking germ factories and illness happens. Or you work in a medically fragile class and have to be real careful. Sub plans are needed.

There are two main problems with self-contained SPED. You may get a sub who has little or zero expierence in the field because they just needed a sub who is a warm body. Second, aides can be out a lot and some aides are as useful as tits on a tree.

I suggest finding a way to play videos. YouTube is excellent. Make a list of "educational" (word world, super why, fables, nat geo kids, etc) and leave them. URLs are a problem but go to a website that shortens URLs, like tiny URL. If you don't have YouTube, work with your librarian to have an emergency video list. You can do the same with fellow teachers. Just something that can be retrieved easily. If you have movies in your room leave a list of what to play. I stay away from movie movies (like Gnomeo and Juliet) because it's too long and it loses the kids attention too fast.

Go to Enchanted Learning. Print off some activities and make copies of different books or whatever. Find dot to dot by number or letter. Find color by number, sight word, math problem, simple mazes, word searches, etc.

Go to math-aids.com, worksheetworks.com, and worksheetfun.com. Print some. The last one has some cool tracing worksheets that practice tracing and coloring. You can even go to supercoloring.com and print out some pictures your kids like.

Have some ideas for games, like board games or duplo blocks or legos.

I also write in something for "fine motor". Which is an easy craft project. The kids love this one.

Write a complete, annotated schedule of your day. Put anything special (like meds or feeding or bathroomong) in caps bold.

Create a separate sheet. Have each kids name. Put down a little about each student. Positive sentance or two first. Behaviors, behavior triggers, special diet, bathrooming, feeding, medical needs, whether or not their verbal, and other special needs. Whether or not they are in charge of it, you want them to be informed of each student. I think we all have that student who has that hair trigger that is random that you wouldn't know if you didn't work with him. The sub needs to know that.

If you have any kids who mainstream during the day with an aide, I suggest you nix that on days you're out so you can have all hands on deck. You don't know what aides might be out that day too.

Put all the worksheets in individual file folders and label them. I would put it all in a storage container and write sub plans all over it in red marker and keep it by your desk. Let fellow teachers and aides know it's there. Let the principal know it's there.

I know this is a lot of work. But they aren't going to use everything when you're out. However, it's one and done. I copy extra worksheets and keep them in a file so I can replenish as needed. I keep the annotated schedule on my computer and student info sheet. When I get back I reorganize everything and fill it back up. Set up is the hardest thing but it becomes an efficient system.

The basic idea in all of this is to keep the kids calm and entertained. There is a chance the sub may not know what they are doing and you never know when an aide is going to be out. Hopefully a sub can color and follow the schedule (that's been a hard one for some of my subs because they just decide to do their own thing and that's never a good idea). You don't want any major behaviors. You can have the kids who want to watch videos filter in and out. You have a variety of quasi educational worksheets and some fun stuff. Everyone should be okay. I leave a note to take the kids on a short walk if they get restless.

The only times when my sub plans have backfired is when a sub tried to do their own thing and when an aide tried to do their own thing.)

One last trick. If you have kids who are cognitively high enough this trick is good. I text my aides when I'm out. The aides tell the kids if they have a good day I'll bring them donuts. They hang that over the kids head all day. I always stop to get donuts before school the next day. I ask each one if they had a good day. If they did I give them verbal praise and a half a donut they choose. If they didn't we have a talk about good behavior and they get half a donut that I choose. Once I was out for 4 days and the reward was pizza and juice. Everyone gets the reward. Just not everyone gets positive praise (and the ability to pick their own donut).

What would be a good and cheap alternative? I've been looking at something like this:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/COMPARTMENTS-UPGRADEABLE-PLASTIC-STORAGE-350x220x48mm/dp/B002TGCZ4C/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1425389638&sr=8-14&keywords=plano

Sorry for your loss. I like the render a lot I think if you made your room look that it would be really nice. It doesn't look overly modern but does look clean in a good way. If you get white curtains and bedspread it'll keep it light looking. When you have all your items in there it'll make it more homey too.

For the flag as others have said frame it but also iron it!

I see lots of 'things' so I'd get some storage bins like this to keep stuff out of site. Can also store stuff like the TV console electronics in these. You need some more shelves so the things you want to display aren't crammed together.

Personally, for the memorial shelf I'd try to take most of the loose leaf items like photos, tickets, notes, etc. and arrange them in a photo book together. In the render I like the wall shelves and think you could dedicate a large one, or few smaller shelves, to hold up and display the rest of the items.

For making things aesthetically pleasing pick a style and color scheme and be consistent. Have a primary, secondary, and accent color. If you have wood on your furniture match the color with the shelves and picture frames. If you have bedding match it with your curtains, pillows, rugs, etc. Also pick a few items you want to be the main eye catchers - like the flag above the bed or the 'We are all created equal' painting on the shelf. With so many colors surrounding them they get kinda drowned out but if you want those to really pop and draw the eyes towards it try surrounding them with muted color items. You'll have to experiment but I'd start with painting the walls and laying out the furniture and go for there. You may decide things are too light or too dark and decorate around that.

I use these for travel. They're big enough to accommodate larger items but not so big that it feels unorganized.

Here is a link to small containers which will nonethess hold a few hundred .38 Special for instance: http://www.amazon.com/Sterilite-18038612-Flip-Clear-12-Pack/dp/B005H3GAM2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1462983113&sr=8-1&keywords=B005H3GAM2

And here is a link to larger containers: http://www.amazon.com/Sterilite-18058606-Large-Clear-6-Pack/dp/B005KBKSZQ/ref=sr_1_1?s=arts-crafts&ie=UTF8&qid=1462983187&sr=8-1&keywords=B005KBKSZQ

These containers are not made as sturdy as they used to be years ago, but they still work fine for brass.
One very nice feature is that the lids are attached, so you can't lose them.

http://www.amazon.com/Masterproofing-Inch-Round-Banneton-Basket/dp/B006W9R8IU/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1381948765&sr=8-14&keywords=brotform

http://www.amazon.com/Spectrum-14478-Sierra-Banana-Holder/dp/B0008DJVBI

Well, I used to have a blue one of these, and it held up really well, so I have to recommend it. You can get them cheaper at places like Target, though.

This sort of container is the same concept, more stackable, but less convenient. It's also cheaper in some stores.

If you want to go more fancy, this is a spiffy stackable container. The top is a lid that comes off. My parents have one, and it's pretty nice.

Thanks for the contest!

Ok, actual advice from an animal here. If you use cheap storage crates, like this one, and put them in your trunk, and then put the groceries in the crates, your groceries won't spill all over the trunk. :)

I store my regular floppies in these https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N4I66JJ
but am having trouble finding something similar for my generally 5 - 7 inch wide zines. I like the transparency.

Throwing out a few ideas.

Starting with the pine countertop. Apply a contact paper such as this marble one to add a more refined look. Choose a contact paper that is made for countertops and matches your home. Consider something similar to your bathroom or kitchen counters. There are many styles of contact paper such a tile and stained wood. I would also add table legs like these to stabilize the countertop, especially for my next suggestion. Make sure the countertop sits at least a couple of inches above your washer and dryer (I know it seems like a no brainer but just in case).

To help distract away from everything thats going on, I would add a cube shelving unit like this one. Use fabric cube boxesto store your detergent and other cleaning supplies. They come in different colors and designs. Make sure you order the right size for your shelving unit. This idea would help visually clean up the space. If you decided to do this, I would remove the wall shelf. I would not suggest doing this without attaching table legs to the pine.

Throw up a tension rod with a neutral curtain to divide off the room. I would use rings since fabric on rod isn’t good for constant movement. If your home calls for it or you’re into some extra, look into decorative hooks.

Hopefully my suggestions will help you create a great laundry room that fits your needs and requests.

That's the solution I'm moving toward. Books into small containers like this and then the large containers into this, which gets sealed with duct tape. Then put the whole thing into storage.

I'm probably in the minority here, but I am not a huge fan of these systems, as there is so much wasted space! I have no problem putting a dresser in a closet. We have 4-drawer dressers in two bedroom closets.

All of our current closets and pantry came fitted with basic Closet Maid wire shelving, and that's fine with me. We have canvas or fabric sweater and shoe organisers and some boxes that fit in the sweater one. I use banker's boxes or plastic storage bins on the upper shelves. I also make use of doubling rods, basically a short closet rod on two long hooks, so shirts can be hung on upper and lower rods.

btw, if you are set on a closet-shelving system, check your lease, and verify that you can remove it when you leave. Some leases require that anything attached to the walls becomes the property of the landlord. This protects them from having huge holes left in the walls.

If that is the case, be sure that the system you choose will leave only clips attached, which you would leave behind while taking all the expensive pieces with you!

Honestly, why don't more people just make their rig out of milk crates, they're $7

I live in a 1 bedroom apt in NYC with my husband so I have little space to work with. I have a shelf exactly like this one in a corner of my bedroom with 8 of these boxes from Ikea on the shelves, under the bottom shelf I left enough space to fit 2 of these fabric storage boxes as well. It helps hide everything in a neat way and is easy to find stuff when I need it. One box is for shipping supplies (scale, tape, envelopes), the others hold my inventory and have labels on them for each category of what I sell.

I take pics on an inflatable mannequin so that I can deflate her and stuff her in one of the boxes when I am done with a pic session. I hang her on a command hook from the wall so that I don't need a mannequin stand. I keep refining my system but it works for me! People have complimented my organized shelving and others don't even know what is in it sometimes when they visit. Oh and for anyone wondering I mostly sell clothes, shoes and accessories so I haven't had to worry about storing a huge lego set or something that would not fit in my shelf.

Additionally the bins I buy stack with about 5 inches of room between each bin which is similar to the worm farm 360.

I ordered 24K worms yesterday. Ordering 24K more of the dealer is good.

I have one of these containers that I use to sort embellishments and small pieces by color. Michaels carries them but I think they only have the rainbow ones now, not the clear. If you don’t need something that big they sell the small photo cases individually!

Will these work? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NBY6EYN/

Also, is there a safe way to wet clean records without buying a 170$ contraption?

Edit: I'm seeing some bad reviews on all the brushes saying they scratch the records and don't actually get any dust off, should I still get one?

Amazon UK. These kind of things are all made in China anyway so you should be able to find something very similar wherever you are if you search for similar wording.

or this

that's a classy bathroom. the plastic thing doesn't belong in there..

like the others said you could put toiletries or towels on the shelves and sort stuff into little bins or baskets like these
