Organization Frenzy!

This is our sad excuse for food storage. I bought most of the cereal 2 weeks ago for about $.25 a box. yeah! The Salsa was $1.00 a jar and we got free movie tickets. I have a ton of deodorant that I got for free or $.25 a stick, toothbrushes and paste for $.25 each. Kleenexes for free from my dad. I really need a case lot sale to come around. I also need to start experimenting recipes with wheat.
I have also been working on my craft room. I bought these fabulous clear containers at Walmart and then I had a lady make me some vinyl to label them all, because like Allen says, "you would never know what was inside the clear containers unless you labeled them." He is such a smart a@#! You can't really see the labels on these, but I love them. I love getting organized! The shelf below the containers is the kids "store." When they finish so many of their chores they get to go and pick something out of the store. The treats are mostly dollar store things or some cheap things I found on Amazon.com
Our hallway has been pretty bare since we moved in, but I couldn't decide what to do with it. This is still a work in progress. I am putting up artwork that the kids have made. I am also making a masterpiece board that the kids can hang their own work up on. I still need to put a ton more things up, but this can be sort of a before picture of it.

Once our house is completely finished this little area underneath our stairs will be the only storage we have inside...pretty sad. What can you really do with this area? I am open to any ideas.

I've been working on the exact same kinds of things, and we are short on storage space as well. Kind of makes it a challenge. Looks like you are doing great with it, though!
