MOORESVILLE, N.C., Dec. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- On New Year's Eve, most of us
will celebrate with friends and family, hum along to "Auld Lang Syne," or
watch the ball drop in Times Square. After the confetti has cleared, tackle a
resolution high on your list: home organization. To make the task less
daunting, focus on one room a day and work in short intervals. Use these tips
from Lowe's to rid the clutter from all your rooms in 2008.

Bathroom: The first step to a tidy bathroom is to clean out all the
drawers and cabinets by tossing out expired products and items you haven't
used in at least a year. Then sort your products in a drawer organizer, such
as the Real Organized(TM) Chrome Drawer Organizer (Item #217192, $6.47), to
ensure all your items have a proper place. It's also important to provide easy
access to cabinets for everyone in your household. Mount d-shaped hardware on
cabinet doors, like the Belwith(R) 3" Pull (Item #116404, $4.97), which is
easier for users with limited hand strength.
Kitchen: Place small appliances and cookware you use most often in the
easiest-to-reach places. In-cabinet systems, like the ProCuisine 8 3/4" In-
Cabinet 3-Tray Pullout (Item #224079, $55.98), will guarantee all your kitchen
must-haves are handy. Install the Unfinished Oak Lazy Susan Corner Unit (Item
#135095, $180) in corner cabinets to make the best use of available storage
spaces.
Closet: Don't let the bedroom closet become a catch-all. Plan what you
need to hang, and choose a closet organizer with enough storage for long and
short garments. Begin organizing with the ClosetMaid(R) Completions 25" White
Starter Kit (Item #198128, $99.88) or Sauder Home Visions (Item #186164,
$98.98) and add other accessories as your storage needs become apparent.
Utilize all available room by hanging the Real Organized Over-The-Door Shoe
Rack (Item #62687, $15.48) to store shoes or even rolled-up scarves and
stockings.
