Gravity Defying Bike Rack Eludes Explanation
November 9, 2013
The other day I was looking on the internet at my favorite bike rack sites, looking for a bike rack to feature this week. Mostly I was not finding anything that stuck out to me – you typical wall racks, ceiling racks, car racks. You know, the types of bike racks that are really not worthy for a specific mention on this blog. But then, when I figured I would just have to write about something else, an incredible rack caught my eye. This rack seemed to defy the very essence of our universe – this was a gravity defying bike rack!
What do I mean when I say it is a gravity defying bike rack? I mean that it literally seems to be floating without any aid. Here, take a look at it for yourself:
That is pretty incredible, right? I mean, how does it work? It’s like gravity doesn’t even exist to this storage device.
Okay, so I’ll admit that it isn’t literally a gravity defying bike rack. But the Lean Machine Gravity Bike Rack is still a pretty incredible device. The way this bicycle storage rack works is that it holds two bicycles on little arms. Then it is simply leaned up against the wall, requiring no installation. This is really great for those that are on the go and need a bike rack in a variety of locations. What good is a bicycle rack if it is bolted down to your wall?
The fact that it needs no installation makes this gravity defying bike rack perfect for those that live in an apartment. Some apartments don’t mind if you install a bike rack inside, but they almost always leave huge holes in the wall, which ends up costing you on your security deposit. Instead of going through all of that hassle and loss of money, just get this gravity defying bike rack.
New Shoe Rack Update for the Winter Season
November 7, 2013
Every so often, I like to go back and review some of the best new shoe racks that have come out. Guess what? It’s just about that time of the year again. I think this is a great time to display some of the best shoe storage accessories that are available on the market. With the holidays just around the corner, one very functional gift is a shoe rack. Without further ado, I give you the new shoe rack update!
I really like it when shoe storage accessories provide a lid. That way you do not have to worry about a bunch of dust, dirt or animal hair finding its way into your shoes. Not only that, but it provides a more streamlined look in your closet or entryway. Shoes tend to give a cluttered look. But when you use the Set of 3 Vision Shoe Storage Boxes to keep your footwear organized, you don’t have to worry about giving off a cluttered appearance.
This storage accessory definitely deserves its place on the new shoe rack update. It is made from canvas, giving it a classic appearance. Not only does canvas look great in the home, it is extremely durable. And durability is definitely important when it comes to proper shoe storage.
Moving on through our new shoe rack update, we come to another unique shoe storage option.
Instead of being a rack you keep in the closet or a box that goes under the bed, sometimes the best shoe storage is actual storage-dedicated furniture. The Paoli Shoe Bench is a worthy addition to the new shoe rack update, providing storage for up to six pairs of shoes! This shoe bench also has a stylish design that looks great in any room.
Next week we will continue the new shoe rack update with two more unique and efficient storage accessories!
How to Organize Your China
November 4, 2013
The leaves are changing and the temperatures are falling…autumn has definitely arrived. With Thanksgiving right around the corner, I am going to give you some tips for organizing your china. Whether you use china or other dinnerware, these tips will apply to any dishes that you use on an occasional basis.
First, you need to decide how to store them. There are some great china storage sets available that allow you to safely protect, store and organize your dishes. Most sets include quilted, breathable containers with zipper closures to keep them free of dust and bugs. They also come with cushioned plate dividers to prevent chips. You can purchase a set that includes containers for plates as well as serving pieces or individual containers to expand an existing set.
Next, you need to decide where to store them. A china cabinet is a great storage spot, but many people don’t have this piece of furniture in their homes. Alternative storage locations include upper shelving in your pantry or basement. By keeping them up high, they are less likely to get broken, and it opens up middle shelves for items that you use more frequently. If you take the time to organize and protect your dinnerware, you will find your holidays easier and more enjoyable, and you will protect you collection for years to come.
