Storage Closet Organization

Labeled bins make stuff easy to find and retrieve.

I can't stand big plastic storage bins that grow in heft until they can't easily be lifted. Even worse is when they get stacked up so you need to move four awkwardly heavy bins in order to get at the contents of the fifth.

Sterilite makes a shelf-and-bin system that solves this issue... 25-quart and 50-quart bins. I like that they stack tightly, efficiently using all available space.

Bedroom Closet

The two sad closet rods easily gave way to a customized closet system.

The closet was equipped with two rods and boards loosely balanced on angle brackets pulling out of the drywall. This arrangement fell down on me more than once.

The new closet has top & bottom hanging rods on the left, and shelves, drawers, pull-out laundry bins, and shoe cubbies on the right. Add-ons (just because) include the valet rod and pull-out tie rack that I use for jewelry. Thanks Martha Stewart!
