Keep things organized and at your fingertips by making a simple living room handy box remote holder. We used a $4.00 box from the local craft store. It not only holds remotes when not in use but other items you might want handy. We’ll show you what we put in ours but everyone’s will be unique!

This is another idea that came from a personal need. We had redone our living room and the old cigar type box I was using just didn’t look too good anymore so I set about creating something a little less “tacky” for my purpose. You can make these out of anything of course including small baskets!  If you’d like more ideas on classy organizing, check out our Organize Your Office Supplies in Style post!blank630x20

These are the items we keep in our box.  FYI cell phone chargers come in really handy!
