Organizing

Bathroom storage is often tricky, as there’s usually a lot of different stuff to store out of sight and out of mind, and not a lot of room to put it. Plus, there’s quite a bit of temperature fluctuation to keep track of, from steamy showers to hot curling irons, which can easily cause burns or scorched surfaces — especially if you’re in a cramped bathroom or short on counter space. Well, have I found the solution for you!

Plus, it’s rust-proof!

My sheets have never looked neater.

Decluttering these items gave her so much space.

I’ve sworn by it for years.

I live in a relatively small apartment with multiple roommates, so I’m always on the lookout for ways to improve the storage situation in my living space — particularly in the kitchen. Shelves, drawers, bins, and boxes can take up a surprising amount of space, so I have a soft spot for multifunctional pieces — especially ones that also look nice on a kitchen countertop.

I cook at home regularly, which means I’m often using my groceries up and buying more just as quickly. As my schedule gets busier, I’ve streamlined my grocery shopping and have more go-to staples I buy frequently. However, some of the groceries I rely on don’t easily fit in my cabinets due to their bulky shape or awkward packaging. That’s why this pantry organizer hack using just a plastic Dollar Tree office organizer caught my eye. Here’s how it works.

These game-changing tricks can help you fake more square footage.

I remember the relief I felt when my husband and I became homeowners — in part because we had so much more storage. And boy, did we proceed to use every last closet, corner, and cabinet. And just like that, we’ve spent nearly a decade in our home. I’m pretty sure that some of the things in the far corner of our coat closet have been there since we moved in. Decluttering is hard — especially when it comes to sentimental items.

It’s like having a catch-all dish on my wall.

It's so whimsical!

In my teeny New York City apartment, figuring out how to extract every square inch of space sometimes feels like performing a magic trick. I adore cooking and baking, but making space for all of the ingredients and gadgets can be quite the feat. Through trial and error, I’ve found that using vertical space helps enormously, as it clears the counters and takes advantage of otherwise wasted square footage.
