This weekend my wife and I went out of town for Labor Day. Traveling from Southern California up to Northern California is not a problem at all with a dog, but driving with a cat is difficult to say the least. So we were forced to leave our cat along for the long 3-day weekend. We poured her a big bowl of food to last her for those days and left for the holiday. When we came home we found she had gotten into her food by herself, knocking all sorts of items to the floor. After this incident we decided it was time to invest in some wall mounted storage shelves.

See, our precious kitty isn’t so much a “little kitty” anymore, and is more like an obese food seeking monster (don’t tell her I said that). So when she finished off her 3-day bowl of food in just a day or so, she naturally went on the hunt for more food. She found the food, but wasn’t really able to get into it. What she was able to do was knock over a bunch of things from our microwave cart.

So now instead of storing her food on the cart, we have started to store her food on wall mounted storage shelves. With this shelf style, we are able to store a great deal of items. The wall-mounted design of the shelves prevents the cat from reaching the top. As an added bonus, the wall mounted storage shelves take up no floor space. The Upper Cabinet makes the perfect wall storage system.

This is great news for our precious belongings and our kitchen, but bad news for the cat. Now with our food safely tucked away 6 feet above ground level, she has no hope of reaching her treasured spoils.

Recently my wife and I have looked into moving into a smaller apartment to save some money. We would like to purchase our own home in the near future, so we want to save up. By getting a place that is much less expensive, we can save money every month to put towards a larger down payment. However, when we downsized our apartment we realized quickly that we had way too much stuff. This is where space saving storage shelves came through for us.

Even though we have only been in our apartment for a few years, it is incredible how much “stuff” we managed to collect. Records, books, paperwork, camping gear – you name is, we got it. When you move from a 1000 square foot apartment to a 700 square foot apartment, you definitely sacrifice the ability to efficiently store all of these items. Or do you? Perhaps with the right space saving storage shelves we can have our cake and eat it too.

With the proper shelf storage, you can dramatically increase the capacity of your closets and rooms. Instead of piling all of your loose items into boxes and stacking them up haphazardly, try something a little more organized. The Five Tier Shelving Rack is a perfect choice for adding storage to the home. This tower has wire shelving that is easy to clean and provides excellent storage capacity.

There are even options for those that prefer to pile loose items into bins. Using a Tote Storage Box Organizer is the best way to use tote bins. All too often you see folks stack these totes on top of each other, making it impossible to get to the bottom. With this organizer, you can reach each and every tote with ease.

With just one or two space saving storage shelves, you can transform a small apartment into a storage wonderland!
