Here we go, we’ll just jump right into part 2 with awesome places to store your stuff that make sense!

Laundry Room

1) Keep a supply caddy filled with cleaning supplies up high, away from kids and pets. This also makes your cleaning supplies mobile.

2) This is a great place to store extra clothing hangers.

3) Use turntables for sprays and cleaning sticks, just spin and grab what you need so nothing falls over.

4) Store your iron and ironing board on the wall or door to save space

5) A drying rack on the wall that pulls out will be out of your way when you don’t need it

Keepsakes

1) Use an archival-safe box in a closet or on a shelf. Avoid the garage due to humidity, heat, cold.

Backpacks/Coats

1) Hooks or cubbies by door you leave from. Make it easy for kids to succeed by placing them at their level.

Dining Room

1) Stash place mats, napkins, napkin rings, candles close to the table so it’s easy to set for your family or for company.

Family room

1) Items for activities you do in this room: books, music, dvds, board games & throw blankets

Garage

1) Place paint & paint supplies all in one area

2) Store tools together so it’s easy to work on projects & repairs

3) Store camping gear and supplies in one section

4) Keep holiday decor safely stored in labeled bins

5) Keep sports equipment together so you can grab them and go when it’s time to have some fun

Make sure that you store items that you use the most in a way that is more easily accessible and items that don’t aren’t needed as often can be stored higher or lower so you have to work a little harder.
