| I just can't seem to help myself 
Anyway 
I keep all my cleaning supplies in a $2 shopping basket I bought on clearance at a shop closure some years back, it's very handy and keeps everything tidy and upright!
It sits to one side of my unit and on the other side I keep a basin with my dishdrainer inside that.
Attached to the inside of one door I have a plastic caddy for holding scourers, sink plugs etc....it also has a little rail for hanging my dishcloth.
Okay.....ages ago (well months..) I bought a thin coated wire tea-towel rail for DH to attach inside the other door to hang my dusters, chamois etc. over....he didn't have the correct sized screws....I reminded him SEVERAL times
TODAY, I took it back to the hardware store (I'd lost the receipt by this stage) and exchanged it for a self-adhesive one which was twice the price but worth it as I attached it myself as soon as I got home 
I also noticed in the dollar store, they have individual adhesive hooks (unusual v-shape holder) for holding cloths, I might get a few, or another rail.
OH it looks so organized, I can sleep happy tonight 
I think I might have developed a little bit of obsessive compulsiveness on this subject

| Hehe...my DH is the complete opposite to me...he's so unorganized and messy but he says ...it gives me something to do and complain about
I suppose if I lived alone I'd be OTT with this...b-b-b-but I like to know where to find things!!!
Funny thing though, DH actually DID put the nail-clippers back where I store them last time he used them and he found them 'all by himself' next time he needed them He's always asking me where things are after HE'S misplaced them (or left them lying around), even he found that amusing!
