Organizing Out-of-Reach Closet Shelves

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

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"

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

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.
