Storage & Organization

Taking the Food Saver Challenge

by jennae on November 9, 2011

I hate grocery shopping. There. I said it.

I am one of those people who will put off going to the store for weeks, forcing my husband to stop in at the nearest store to replace staples like milk, eggs and bread. That said, I am always looking for ways to get out of regular grocery shopping trips. If I can save some money and buy more fresh food in the process, I’m all for it. So when Walmart recently offered me the chance to take the FoodSaver challenge, I was all for it!

My Simple Solution for Entryway Shoe Clutter

by jennae on August 17, 2011

For years, my family has practiced taking off our shoes at the front door, so as not to track dust, dirt, allergens and Lord knows what else throughout the house. But the one thing that always drove me crazy was the pile of shoes that would inevitably end up in front of the door. For the most part, I tried to remove my shoes and take them straight to my closet, but I occasionally left my shoes at the door, and my husband and daughter did it all the time. And whenever we had visitors, the shoe pile would grow to ridiculous proportions. Something had to be done.

Before & After: Closet Organization

by jennae on June 29, 2011

We’re finally all moved in to our new place, and I couldn’t be happier. This apartment is larger with much more useful storage and just generally feels more like home than the other place did — and we’ve only been here a little more than a week. I have so many posts to write about things I’ve done around here, and things to come, but this is one of the first projects I tackled as I was unpacking.

Like many other folks, during this time of year, I tend to do a lot of reorganizing and purging. If you’re in a similar situation, you’ll be happy to know that these deals will allow you to get these already affordable storage pieces for even better prices.

I love Way Basics recycled paper furniture because it is incredibly versatile. If you remember, we used a bunch of units to create the storage system in my daughter’s bedroom, and it has been perfect for that purpose thus far.

The only problem is that the core Way Basics components — Z Boards — are so versatile that it can be difficult to imagine how you can use them to create unique designs. I like to think of them like building blocks that I can put together any way I want. But in case you want something unique, but can’t come up with a design on your own, check out the new Madison and Savannah bookcases. Both could be used as room dividers.
