WFMW: Organized Hiding

I showed y'all my rarely used old formal dining room turned home office a few months ago.

It's a popular place in my house. We all love hanging out in there.

It's right off the entry to the front door, so I like to keep it organized.

Here are a couple of tips:

Decorative boxes are genius. I love these inexpensive cardboard paper-hiders. I got them for a couple of dollars each at Ikea, but I've seen them at WalMart, Target and even the Dollar Store!

One box contains my kid's Lego Necklace Business, one holds our correspondence with our Compassion kids, while the others contain bills, cords, greeting cards, photos, etc.

And the cute skirt (a former single curtain that I split down the middle and used Velcro to keep it in place) hides my printer, my hubby's work printer, a file cabinet and even my toddler during games of hide 'n seek.

But you'll have to get your own dust bunnies.

Organized hiding (also known as camouflaging your junk) works for me!

Thank you for joining me for WFMW! {You can read the guidelines here.}Have a Works-For-Me Wednesday tip you'd like to share? I'd love for you to join us!
