Need More Storage Space? Look Under Your Bed
ByAs a Professional Organizer working in New York City, I get to see all kinds of living spaces: large, pre-war apartments, tiny studios, airy lofts, dramatic duplexes, charming brownstones and everything in between. As you might 
expect, people living in small spaces often don't have sufficient storage places for all their “stuff”.
What I find interesting though is when people living in large spaces with ample closets and storage areas suffer from the same problem! I guess I really shouldn’t be surprised since we live in a consumer society that has so many irresistible temptations on offer at any given time.
One great storage solution that is often overlooked is the space underneath a bed.

Product of the Week: Over the Toilet Etagere!
By
The over the toilet Etagere has to be one of the best inventions ever when it comes to space-efficient furniture. Many of us find that our bathrooms are exploding with cosmetic products, towels, medicine and more! And with the focus of most new home design and remodels being big, fancy kitchens, let’s face it, our bathrooms aren’t getting any larger.
Many new families also find that what used to be a roomy, organized bath is now a central gathering area for everyone’s stuff. The babies have their toys and the teens have their hair products.

Possibly the Cutest Lunchbag Ever!
By
Ok, I'm a little freaky over lunch bags. It's the whole hand bag obsession thing. You know, can't resist them. Don't deny it - I know some of you out there can relate (Marcia) ;).
Anyway - the KoKo Christy Lunch Bag is quite possible the cutest lunchbag to date! I think I have to get it. It's all nylon with a zippered top and great end pockets for all the little extras. And it's fully insulated - Keeps your hots hot or your colds cold!
Shoot - I'd even use this as a purse! No more melted makeup or chocolate on hot days, right?
They measure 11.5"H x 6"W x 5.5"D, so they will hold quite a bit! They come in Black, Green and Chocolate Brown. And not bad at just under $20!
Kid's Two Sides Easel: Review from 3Garnetsn2Saphires
By
Karen over at 3garnetsn2sapphires gave our Two Sided Art Easel a glowing review!
"It is one toy that allows two children to be together, but separate at the same time.
Twins love being together, but they always have to share just about everything.
This children's easel does not require them to take turns and each child can have his or her own space without purchasing two separate products.
How many toys can you say that about?"

Product of the Week: Cedar Shelf Liners
By
Cedar wood has many benefits that are complementary to clothes. So it’s no wonder that people sometimes line their entire closet with cedar planks. A custom closet can be expensive, though, so how can we all get a taste of this luxurious type of clothes storage and preservation?
These cedar shelf liners provide an affordable alternative to custom closet work, and are compatible with wire closet organizers, a very popular and widespread choice for closets everywhere today. No installation is required, so you don’t have to hire a contractor to get them. They simply drop into place on most wire closet shelves. Read on for some natural benefits that cedar has to offer.

Finally Keep the Stuffed Animals off the Floor
By
There's nothing better than starting your children off right in life with good habits (cuz the bad ones are so hard to break!).
Like keeping their space organized. And this is such a cute idea to help them do that!
The Stuffed Animal Vertical Toy Storage Organizer is a great solution to any child’s stuffed animal dilemma and takes up almost no room at all. You just slip the doll or stuffed animal through the elastic strap (preferably under their arms and not by their poor little necks) and, voila! 42 toys off the floor!
And when it’s full, it’s actually a pretty cute room decoration. You can get one here.

Organizing Out-of-Reach Closet Shelves
By
I am short and what I wouldn't give sometimes to be tall. I often find myself staring at the sweaters on the top shelf of my closet, wishing that I had "Go-Go-Gadget" legs to boost myself up! Organizing shelves, especially those mounted too high to reach properly, can be a huge headache. I recommend using the following tools to help organize out-of-reach closet shelves:
1) Step Stool
If you are unable to reach a shelf with ease, you are less inclined to return items back to the shelf where they belong. And we all know what that means: you will end up with a clutter pile-up on your hands!

A Trip to Stacks and Stacks: Shelving, Minus the Assembly Hassles
By
Shelving isn’t sexy – but it's crucial to an organized home or office. So when I visited the Stacks and Stacks store in Santa Rosa, I was surprised to find that the heavy-duty shelving was my favorite product. This stuff is sturdy and a snap to assemble – even for someone with my lack of assembly skills.

Don't Touch That Trash Can! Say "Open Sesame"
By
You know I looooove to throw things away! But it really bugs me to have to touch a garbage can in order to use it. The worst offenders are the large cans in public places that have the hinged front flap that you have to actually put your hand on and push to drop your trash into the can. YUCK. That's a smart design… NOT.
However, I'm happy to say that Simplehuman has developed a really cool line of infrared trash cans that open when they sense your hand over them. This means no more foot pedals to snap off and break (like my cheap plastic kitchen can did years ago) and no more lifting the dirty lid with your clean fingers in the middle of food preparation. This might give me the chance to say OPEN SESAME a lot more often!
Iris Brand Tote Baskets
By
This product is the greatest. I’ve been using these baskets, in a variety of sizes for about ten years. I use them everywhere.
The advantage of buying one style of storage basket for your home is that when you change things around they can easily be re-purposed in another closet or cupboard. The baskets are made of heavy duty plastic and have sturdy handles. I’ll go out on a limb and call them child-proof. When I used them for toy and book storage, my kids really put these baskets to the test. They’re strong, easy to clean and they don’t break like the cheaper knock-offs.
They’re available at Stacks and Stacks for $25.99 for four. And that’s a great value.
