Bathroom Storage Shelves make Home Improvement Oh-So-Easy
August 29, 2013
Now that the summer is starting to come to a close and the weather is not so darn hot, I have been looking for a home improvement project for my home. Luckily it took my no more than a single trip to the bathroom to realize what project I should undertake. My bathroom was a mess – so I was off into the great world of bathroom storage shelves, searching for a way to turn my cluttered lavatory into an organizational masterpiece.
I discovered that having a messy bathroom is totally unnecessary! I always assumed it was expensive and difficult to add bathroom shelving and cabinets, but turns out it is a breeze. Even though my bathroom is quite small and lacking in storage amenities, all it took was a few clicks on the internet, and some screw-tightening once the items arrived. With just a few bathroom storage shelves installed, my bathroom turned from cluttered to under-control!
The best feature of our bathroom was a unique porcelain medicine cabinet, so I decided to leave that piece of bathroom storage as-is. However, it is quite old and does not have the appropriate storage space for modern bathroom items. So instead of replacing the medicine cabinet, I added a two-door wall cabinet to the room. This provided excellent storage space for my first aid items, additional oral hygiene supplies, and even a few hand-towels!
Next, I wanted to add a floor cabinet to the room. My bathroom doesn’t have a ton of floor space, so I wanted a set of bathroom storage shelves that had a small footprint. Luckily, Organize-It had exactly what I was looking for with the Corner Etagere. With five open shelves in various sizes, there was plenty of room for my bathroom accessories.
As I have mentioned ad infinitum, I am lacking in bathroom floor space. That is why an over the toilet étagère is such a great option for my bathroom. This set of bathroom storage shelves fit right over my toilet, providing storage where I never would have imagined.
Of course, there is one downside to this being such an easy home improvement project – Now I have to find a new one!
New Product Alert – Mahogany Chair Vallet
August 24, 2013
Back to school time means a lot of things, but the most important thing in my book is this: you have survived the summer and sent your children back to school, now it’s time to reward yourself!
One of the most rewarding things you can give yourself is the gift of organization. I always feel enormously better after tackling a project and improving a part of my home, even if it’s just a small place like the closet or bedroom. Whenever I need motivation to start a new organizing project I like to get it jump started by buying a new item and revolving the project around it.
This Mahogany Chair Valet is the newest addition to my bedroom. I bought it to go with my closet renovation project. By renovation, I really just mean cleaning it out. The closet already has a good amount of shelves and rods to accommodate my husband’s and my clothing, but I’ve let it get too messy.
I also wanted a way to have more organized mornings. With this valet stand, I can lay out my work clothes for the next day but it doesn’t stop there! I can also pick out my jewelry and keep it organized on the chair. I keep everyday items like my watch and security badge in the handy jewelry drawer of this valet chair.
Now my kids are back in school, my closet looks clean and my mornings can be even smoother. Life is goooooood!
Outdoor Storage Shelving Makes Saying Goodbye to Gardening Easier
August 23, 2013
As hard as it is to believe, summer is coming to a close. Even though it really feels like the last few months have been just a week or two, the season is coming to a close. Kid’s are getting ready for school, the weather is cooling down a bit (if you are lucky!), and it’s time to pack in all of your summer gardening accessories. Having the appropriate outdoor storage shelving can go a long way to making the summer-to-autumn transition a lot smoother.
Putting away your gardening supplies can be a bit of a depressing task. This goes double for those that live in areas with inclement winter weather. It is almost like you are packing away all of the sunshine from June, July and August and bundling up for the upcoming freeze. This would be extra-depressing if you have to deal with insufficient outdoor storage. The best way to avoid this added stress is to use outdoor storage shelving.
The Tool Rack with Wheels makes for excellent storage when the gardening season has come to a close. This rack offers storage for a wide variety of tools. There are spaces for shovels, rakes, a leaf blower and more! Not only does it offer storage for all of the larger tools, there is also space to store over 15 small garden tools.
Though this storage rack is not quite “shelves” in the traditional sense, it certainly makes packing up your garden tools a lot easier.
For a more catch-all approach to storing your gardening equipment, I would lean towards a unit such as the 3 Shelf Heavy Duty Steel Welded Rack. The shelves can hold up to 1200 pounds, which is a crazy amount of storage. This makes it perfect for storing everything from leftover fertilizer to heavy-duty items like dry concrete, earthen pottery and decorative pavers!
Hopefully with the right storage items you can clean up your summer gardening fun quickly and easily like I did. The outdoor storage shelving I invested in made a huge difference in keeping this time of the year more headache-free!
