Bless the Container Store
I try to be organized, but since we moved into a small cabin, which is half the size of our old house I've been trying to deal with stuff. Linens have been a big problem. I have an outdoor laundry area/closet that closes off to the elements and have been storing the bed sheets, towels, napkins, tablecloths, blankets, etc on the overhead shelves in that space. It was always a mess. I finally went to the Container Store website and ordered some zippered, nylon, cloth containers with labels. Oh my Gawd! What a difference they have made in my life! I can now find my Queen sheets, my Full sheets, my napkins, etc., all with just a glance. Nothing is tumbling off the shelves,or in a messy heap. The area also looks so nice and neat!
I'm a cheapy and normally, I would never spend money on such an "extravagance," but the $106 I spent on those containers was well worth it. I suppose that I could have made some, but honestly, I don't think that I ever would have. I've also recently purchased some dividers and metal shelves for my holiday platters and canned goods from the Container Store. I'm in love with that place!
