15 New Uses for Newspaper
March 4, 2010
Newspaper is cheap and abundant and, as it turns out, quite absorbent of both moisture and odors.
Here is a list of some of my favorite uses for your old newspaper:
1. Packing for Storage or a Move– Wrap dishes and delicate knick-knacks with several pieces of newspaper. Wad up some extra pieces to fill and pad any extra space in the box. For extra strength, wet the newspaper before wrapping and let dry thoroughly before packing to create a protective cast! Continue Reading

Wooden Shoe Cubbies – Product of the Week
February 26, 2010
This Week’s Product of the Week proves that shoe racks do NOT have to be dull. Read on for what is probably one of the most luxurious shoe racks you’ve ever seen. And, it’s more affordable than a custom built shoe organizer.
All I can say is WOW! This shoe organizer packs a punch in terms of style and function! You choose your wood tone, your size and your configuration to make a custom shoe rack that fits your needs exactly, at a fraction of the cost of a real custom built model. The Shoe Traps Modular Shoe Cubby System is one of the coolest shoe racks I’ve seen on the market. There are three different sizes of shoe boxes to choose from, large, medium and small. Each shoe cubby has a glass door on the front with a magnetic closure, it couldn’t be simpler to use! The glass doors are cool for three reasons. First, they look beautiful lined up next to one another, each framed in a wooden box. Second, they allow you to see what’s inside, and show off your colorful and beautiful pumps, flats and men’s shoes. And third, they keep dust, moisture and insects off of your shoes. A Spanish cedar lining offers the benefits of aromatic cedar, which acts as a natural insect repellent and also a natural deodorizer. So choose whatever variation works best for your shoe storage needs, and simply stack them together using the provided adhesive strips – very easy to use and looks great in the closet or anywhere in the bedroom or hallway. The wood choices include cherry, mahogany and maple finishes. For a more finished look, each color also has a platform available that can hold a couple of your choice of cubbies. All in all, I would say for the price, this is one of the best high-end style shoe racks available!
