Sometimes we can make organizing more difficult than it needs to be.  We search for hours on end for the perfect solution when a very good one is right under our nose.  Oftentimes, we already have the things we need to help us clear up our clutter and we just need to get a little creative.

Here’s a good – and simple – example of how you can creatively manage paper clutter…

This very lovely wine rack lives in a home office. The owner of this rack loves a good bottle of wine, but has found a new use for the rack. As a landscape designer, he accumulates a few plans over time, and the ones he’s currently working on are stored in the rack until he’s finished with them.

It works well because he has enough space to keep track of his current plans. Now, if only he found a way to label them…

Btw, this method may work well for rolls of wrapping paper, newsprint, and just about any type of rolled paper…but probably not paper towels.
