I’ll Never Put My Paper Towel Holder on the Counter Again After Seeing This Hack

I use paper towels every day. They come in handy so often, I try to keep a roll practically in every room. However, I don’t always have a good place to keep them, which means paper towels tend to occupy more counter space in my house than they should. It doesn’t have to be this way. It turns out that I just need the power of vertical storage and $9 to keep my paper towels off the counters and free up the space for good.

Costco Is Selling a Smokeless Fire Pit That Doubles as a Heater for a Steal

I grew up in southern California, where beach bonfires were a regular occurrence — and anytime I find myself around a small outdoor fire pit in my friend’s Brooklyn backyard, that magic glow of warmth and nostalgia comes right back to me. I’d like to have a fire pit of my own one day, especially with how cold last winter was, and this customizable smokeless fire pit by SharkNinja looks like a great choice — and you can get it for $100 cheaper at Costco right now.

I’m Re-Creating This ’90s Tech Trend in My Kitchen Right Now

Before the ’90s, there was no such thing as a smartphone, and cell phones had yet to reach commercial popularity. The most common way to get in touch with someone was to walk into the room where your landline phone was placed. (In my house when I was growing up, this was the kitchen.) While they still exist, landlines are rarer than they used to be. They were corded or wireless, and often mounted to the wall.

I’m Putting a Vintage Glass Ashtray by My Kitchen Sink (It’s So Pretty!)

There’s something very satisfying to me about repurposing an older or unwanted object into something useful for your home. For example, I sometimes buy yogurt that comes in little glass containers, but instead of just recycling the glass when I’m done with them I realized I could use them around my house to store things like paintbrushes, bathroom toiletries, or even travel-sized hand creams.

Costco's New Retro Mini Fridges Come in Cherry Red or Deep Black

When I think about mini fridges, I think about my freshman year of college, when I lived in a tiny room with three people, no kitchen, and one mini fridge. Our mini fridge was our lifeline, but it wasn’t particularly nice to look at; it felt a bit like an afterthought. But all this time, I could have had the cutest mini-fridge ever, if only I knew where to look. Right now, there’s one cute retro-inspired model available at Costco.

She Put a Dollar Tree Pill Organizer on Her Fridge, and I’m Going to Copy Her

As someone with ADHD, I have a tough time keeping track of everything in my apartment. That’s not because everything’s a mess, but rather because I can easily forget about something if I don’t see it. That means when something is placed inside a drawer, container, closet, or even on top of a crowded countertop, it very well may become invisible to me. Labels and lists can help, but, ultimately for me, visible storage is best.

Skip the Boring Gift Bag — Use Vintage Scarves Instead

I might be great at picking out great housewarming gifts, but wrapping them up neatly is another story entirely. Most of the time I do a fine job, but I still always seem to end up with wrinkled, crinkled corners instead of neat, clean lines.I often default to gift bags for this reason, but they can be a little uninspiring at times. Plus, both of these methods can lead to a lot of paper waste.

I’m Never Ironing Linen Again After Learning Her Trick to Remove Wrinkles

I have a lot of clothes and not a lot of space in my room, which means everything is a bit crammed together. From a storage perspective this is workable, but it does mean that my clothes — especially my summer linens — tend to get wrinkled.I don’t own an iron or ironing board, and my steamer has seen better days, which is why I was so excited to learn a trick for banishing wrinkles from linen clothing without any of those tools. You just need water and a spray bottle.

The Cutest Holiday Find Is Hiding at Cracker Barrel

I didn’t grow up near a Cracker Barrel, so I don’t have as much nostalgia associated with the chain as my friends who grew up road-tripping across the South do. However, I love trinkets and fun, kitschy decor, so I definitely have a soft spot for the Cracker Barrel General Store. And while normally I’d say it’s too early for holiday decorations, there’s a viral stacked book Christmas tree decor item for sale at the chain that just might change my mind.

The $3 Storage Find I’m Hunting for at the Thrift Store

I enjoy writing in a paper journal, be it a weekly planner or just a diary, but the really nice looking ones, like a leather-bound one, tend to be expensive. A more ordinary journal gets the job done, sure, but I’ll admit there’s something about a visually-pleasing notebook cover that legitimately increases my motivation to journal on a regular basis.

The fact that it’s so small makes it uniquely tough when it comes to finding storage solutions that actually make sense.There are all sorts of methods — like over-the-toilet organizers and mirrored medicine cabinets — that are meant to make the most of the space you have, but what if even that’s not enough?

He Put a Coat Rack at the Bottom of His Entryway Wall, and I Want to Copy Him

You can set up all kinds of shelves, bins, and boxes in your home, but somehow it always feels like you could use more storage — especially in high-traffic areas like your home’s entryway. I don’t have a ton of room by my front door, and the area can get cluttered and overwhelmed very fast.

She Put a 5-Tier Bookshelf on Her Fridge, and It Created Storage Out of Thin Air

When you don’t have a lot of traditional storage space like cabinets and closets in your home, it’s usually wise to start looking at your walls as a storage solution. Unfortunately, thanks to appliances like your fridge and oven, your kitchen may not have a lot of wall space to spare. But maybe you’ve been thinking about it all wrong. After all, what is the side of a fridge but a giant magnetic wall?

She Put a Wine Rack in Her Bedroom Closet, and I Want to Copy Her

Most closets have a closet rod and some come with at least one shelf, which is useful enough for storing your clothes and sometimes even sheets or towels. But the standard closet is not necessarily ideal for storing small accessories and trinkets, which can quickly turn into a pile of clutter. In a recent video, content creator Taylor Joy Riley proposes a clever closet organization solution in the form of … a wine rack. Yes, really.

Stop Using Your Notes App for Your Shopping List — Try This Practical Alternative Instead

I’m a big fan of making lists, but I’m still looking for the ideal list system to help keep my entire life organized. I’ve tried to-do list apps, Post-It notes, and a magnetic whiteboard on my fridge. I’ve sent texts and emails to myself and have made countless lists in my Notes app. All these list-making methods work okay, but I still feel like there’s some better way to keep track of everything.
