A Good Question... "In a Bind"

I received an email from reader Diana regarding my last post.  She has asked if I know of a source for "affordable canvas/fabric covered binders in neat colors."  What a good question!
I've located a couple solutions and sources, but I'm sure some of you fabulous readers must know of others.  What are your go-to sources for attractive and affordable storage and organizational solutions?...  Your best organizational tips?    Please do tell!

Thanks for the question Diana!  xo

-The Patterned Oversized 3-Ring Binders at See Jane Work are a fun alternative to the standard binder.

-The Circa Organizational Series available at Levenger might not be all-out gorgeousness, but what it lacks in beauty it makes up for in ingenuity and ease of use.  Check out a short video of the system here.

-I really like the paper covered Soho Magazine Holders at Kate's Paperie.  They can be used for so much more than just magazines (available in 5 colors).

-I'm especially fond of the Clip-On Label Holders Sets at See Jane Work.  Transform any binder into easy to access storage (you could even clip it to the side of the magazine holders I mentioned above).

-Lastly, I highly recommend a trip to your local office supply store or Target.  I've noticed a growing trend with larger chains carrying chic and affordable office and storage collections.  Target in past years has carried collections by Isaac Mizrahi and others, so it's definitely with a look-see.  The Real Simple line is another collection housed by Target that might be a good match for your organizational needs.

-And I couldn't pass up sharing these lovely Thomas Paul Address Books also at See Jane Work.  Perfect, right?!

I definitely need to get organized. But I'm hoping to move soon, so I'll have to wait to purge and sort. It's driving me nuts!

Oh! And we've added a link up to you on our blog. I thought we had before, but during the process of thinking up an update for the new year, I noticed we hadn't yet! So forgetful.

Happy New Year :)

Hope your new year is full of beautiful and unexpected delights!

I purchased some real simple brand organizers at target too- the bonus is very often they are discounted. This is a good place to start. And the container store, although a tad pricey, also has a great selection of bright colored organizers. Also try russell and hazel site.Love their binders! It's worth the investment- I just put 50 pieces into sleeves and got organized last night....It's such a good feeling.
