Your post totally inspired my latest project “Tackle It Tuesday” (as seen on 5 Minutes for Mom) where I organized hubby’s corner of the basement. It’s amazing how they can NEED something they didn’t even know they had! I forgot to take pictures of the Before (grr), but I am posting the After on Tuesday! Thanks for the inspiration :)

If something is in a basket big man magically can’t find it.

My husband is working on our kitchen & has a tool bag there, but still leaves the tools out “so he can find them”! After he leaves for work, I “clean up” and put them in his bag… “Honey, where’s my…?” ;)

That’s great! I love to see things all organized and in baskets. Gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling. :D

Okay I think I need to be more specific here. My hubbie has a workshop in the basement which is his domain. I don’t touch that area out of respect for him and I never have to go into it if I don’t want to.

However once he moves into my territory all gloves are off :)

My husband keeps his tools everywhere, and mostly in Walmart bags when he’s working on a project. They tend to then get left on the garage floor, or the trunk of a car. He has a great multi-drawer Sears mechanics tool chest, but it’s always overflowing with everything. Any ideas how to organize him? I’d so appreciate any help! I even spent one Saturday trying to straighten up the mess but it turned into another mess about a week later. (Sigh…)

I love this! I would just adore getting my hands on my husband’s tools. Or, the whole garage, for that matter. But, it’s his domain. Given that he’s given me free reign in our entire house, I figure that’s fair.

I’ll bet you also take the tools he’s working with and put them in their proper place…poor man trying to find the hammer…he just put it down…it was just here a minute ago! :)

I’ve done the same thing, but I used an orange pail (kind of Home Depot color). Now I just say “orange bucket” when my hubby is looking for the duct tape!
