Tight Spaces

Do you suffer from a small space and no storage room? Guess what- time to get creative! Believe it or not, there are ways to store your things when tight on space.

What's under your bed? Is junk and that lost sock lingering under your bed? If so, you're not utilizing that space very well. Find narrow boxes or old dresser drawers that don't have a home anymore, and use them for under-the-bed storage.

Time to redecorate. Cover uniform boxes and/or tubs that have lids with decorative fabrics to create side tables and ottomans. Place a glass top or table tray on your new tables to keep them from getting squished or concave in the center. Large picture frames with the glass still in them make a good table tray, and you can personalize the art inside and paint the frame to match your decor.

Vacuum sealed bags are marvelous! I only recently discovered how awesome these space saving bags are. They really do work, and you can fit so much more into your closet! It does take an investment, but well worth it.

These are only a few suggestions. Take a look around your space and find the "empty" spaces that are hiding all around you. Just be sure you're not storing junk and creating more clutter!
