Closet
Although the mountain of clothes in your closet appears more daunting than
climbing Mount Everest, you'd be surprised at how well you can organize with
simple solutions. A deep plastic container (Planet Friendly Plastics 18 Gallon
Recycled Tote, Item #286359, $5.18) is perfect for housing seasonal shoes
while an enclosed crate (Lidded Crate, Item #62653, $6.47) does wonders for
storing sweaters in the offseason. Double up on rods in your closet (8' Closet
Pole, #67480 $10.97) -- two or three short rods installed one above the other
will maximize hanging space. In addition, reserve another area for storage of
longer items such as coats and dresses.
Garage
To begin organizing your garage, mark off rectangles for parking to assess
remaining storage space. Then add durable steel rolling cabinets (Gladiator
Modular Gearbox Cabinet, Item #30622, and $178.00), ideal for neatly storing
tools and other hardware, to your garage or organize odds and ends scattered
across the floor on sturdy shelves (Rubbermaid 4 Tier Steel Reinforced Shelf,
Item #293826, $39.97).
Laundry
Instead of leaving dirty clothes on the floor, keep them in a basket
(Medium Laundry Basket, Item #283139, $10.97). When you're ready to use the
spin cycle, reach into a roomy cabinet (24" x 71" White Multi-Purpose Cabinet,
Item #173460, $134.00) where you can store detergent and other related items.
Consider installing plastic-coated wire shelving as it makes an ideal place
for drying clothes flat.
Kitchen
Keep your garbage hidden inside of a kitchen cabinet (Rev-A-Shelf Double
35 Qt Waste Containers, Item #278250, $69.97 or Rev-A-Shelf 30 Quart White
Pull-Out Trash Can, Item #75477, $39.97). Next, tackle pantry clutter by
storing items such as old grocery bags in a reusable sack (Lowe's Reusable
Shopping Bag, Item #109071, $0.98).
