A Clean Slate

We’re deep into spring right now and that means the dreaded Spring Cleaning Time is here.

It’s a necessary evil, really. And while we’ll never tire of scrupulously kept, orderly spaces, we’re also aware that, in a pinch (unexpected guests!) we all need a little help. Sometimes hiding the mess is the best we can do (or have time for).

Here are some storage options to help keep chaos at bay.

  • Keep those K-cups corralled! The top slides back to provide more storage.

  • Does anyone’s garage really look like this? We’d all stand a better chance with this nifty cabinetry.

  • Maybe the kids would actually put away their toys if they had these colorful containers. (Wishful thinking?)

  • Hide your utensils, but keep them close at hand and well organized.

  • Pegs, drawers, and shelves provide multiple options for storing jewelry. (You might not be this organized, but when the cabinet is shut no one will be the wiser!)

  • If your sweaters tend more toward “rolled up balls of wool” than “neatly folded, color-coded wardrobe options,” this cabinetry is a godsend.

We truly believe in “a place for everything, and everything in its place.” Though we haven’t attained that ideal yet, these kinds of storage products can help us get a little bit closer.
