Hanging Shoe Storage – A Space Efficient Solution
November 15, 2013
One type of shoe storage product we have not discussed recently on this blog is hanging shoe storage. It is certainly not the most glamorous of shoe storage, so that probably explains why it has been a few weeks since the topic has been brought up.
However, it should be noted that hanging shoe storage is very important when it comes to having a tidy closet or bedroom. The great thing about this type of shoe storage is that it provides great organization for shoes and other footwear, all while taking up no floor space! That is right folks, these hanging shoe storage products allow you to store so much more in your closet.
There is a wide variety of hanging shoe storage products out there, ranging from sturdy and stable to flimsy and floppy. You want to stick to the highly rated products, because any bottom of the barrel shoe rack is going to be virtually useless if it is not well made.
One very highly rated hanging shoe rack is the Canvas Shoe Organizer. This simple hanging shoe storage rack is made from durable cotton canvas, and provides storage with its 10 shelves. The narrow space and quality construction is definitely why this is such a highly rated product.
Another great hanging shoe storage product is the Juvenile Aquarium Pattern Open Front Shoe Organizer. This product is obviously a shoe organizer for children. But face it – kids are terrible at keeping their shoes neat! If there is anyone out there that needs some advanced shoe storage assistance, it is our children.
So if you are on the fence in investing in some hanging shoe storage, think about the kids, the kids! Think about the kids and put in that investment – it will be worth it for you and your family!
Guest Shelving – Not Just a Temporary Need
November 14, 2013
I have a friend that is staying with me for a few weeks while he finds an apartment. He just got a new job and is new to the area, so I figured I’d be a good pal and help him out. However, my wife and I had just moved to a brand new apartment ourselves, and found that we were severely lacking in storage space. I searched for guest shelving, and what came up is a unique idea for increasing the storage space in a smaller home.
What while this product may not solve our guest shelving dilemma, but it certainly puts a dent in our need! This Spa Bath tower can be used in a bathroom (such as we did) or can even go into the bedroom. It sort of looks like a furniture piece for the bathroom, but with a hamper component it is basically being begged to be in the bedroom.
The hamper is perfect because it provides a place for your guest to keep his or her clothing when it gets dirty. The upper shelves are perfect for storing perfume, cologne, a watch, jewelry, and any other accessories your visitor may need in their guest shelving.
The lower hamper has a front opening door that makes it easy to access your dirty clothing. It is a good idea for a house guest to have their own laundry hamper, so as to encourage them to do their own laundry. Nothing is worse than doing your friends laundry because they don’t have the proper guest shelving!
Of course, this tower is really quite versatile and is by no means strictly intended as guest shelving. The handsome dark finish, solid wood construction and variety of shelving make it a perfect long-term fixture in your bathroom or in the bedroom.

Recently added to OrganizeIt.com, this covered pot has a 5.25 quart capacity and recently won the 2013 International Housewares Association Innovation Award for cookware and bakeware.
