Bins with Labels

The bins are being started.

Stuff is being sorted into bins and labeled with index cards. On the seasonal side of the garage, I am using the colored bins. The labels are helpful because I cannot see into the bin without opening it, even when using the translucent ones. It seems the bin material needs to be absolutely clear to see through it.  I'm not storing junk or trash or any other unnecessary debris a hoarder would keep. Unlike a hoarder, this is stuff I will use from time to time in one artistic endeavor or other: gourd art, the gourd state chapter's annual festival, papercutting art, or home seasonal upkeep and decoration.

Workbench bins.

On the other side of the garage, at the workbench area, the bins are more transparent. The labels are still on the end of the bin, but I can more easily identify what is inside them. Clealry, I am still sorting through detritus so as I find things they are place on top of the corresponding bin. I will put stuff into the bin as I work through the workbench.
