Mobile Storage Unit-
Find a cheap plastic multi-level storage
shelf unit and attach some easy to
attach casters or wheels to the bottom.
Add a few small containers and/or
bins to those shelves and suddenly
you have a rolling organizational
masterpiece ideal for storing shoes,
socks and undies, tools, and other
small items.
Storage Bench- This
is my favorite storage idea! Basically,
get a hold of an old upper kitchen
cabinet or even buy a new one from
Home Depot. Add some feet to the bottom
and attach seat cushions to the top.
Suddenly, you have an awesome sittable
piece of furniture with storage space
underneath the seat.
Stacked Bench Bookshelf-
How about this: Stack three colored
simple wooden benches on top of one
another against a wall. Throw a standing
clock on the top and line each bench
below with books like a bookshelf.
Make sure and add some attached support
from the wall and, viola, you have
a standing bookshelf.
Organized Entryway-
When you come into your apartment,
think of all the junk you bring in
with you. From coats and hats to phones,
mail, and keychains, the amount of
stuff that you bring in with you and
empty from your pockets far out number
the junk going out. So, keep it all
close to the entry. Line you entryway
walls with hooks to hang coats, keys,
and hats. Set up a small shoe organizer
to keep those muddy foot pieces on
the linoleum floor. Install some hanging
drawers and a wall shelf to store
the mail, tax write off receipts and
other small pieces that get lost anywhere
else in the apartment. Add a piggy
bank or a cool change jar to the mix
to chunk all the spare change that
dump out of your pockets. Lastly,
put a small, tasteful waste basket
near the door to rid of the candy
wrappers, unneeded receipts, and other
bits of trash before it enters your
lair.
If you are having some organizational
issues and your apartment is getting
cluttered from random items of junkness
entering your abode everyday, try
a few of these ideas to get things
organized. The organized entryway
and the storage bench really upgraded
my living and lifestyle. If you can
only try a couple. Try those!
