Closet organization at its best
After putting Abby down for her nap this morning, I went to own bedroom closet to look for my slippers. The seasons are changing and I had cold toes! I have a shoe rack made of wood that I put against the back wall of my side of the closet to try to keep my footwear under control. I don’t own many pairs of shoes, but it’s still amazing how quickly they can make a girl’s closet look like a bomb’s gone off in there.
I hunted for my baby blue slippers behind bagged Christmas gifts, a stack of baseball hats, the whole family’s winter boots and my bead collection. I found one of them fairly quickly but the other one was more elusive.
I really must do something about this chaos, I thought to myself.
So I grabbed the footstool and started from the top. I pulled everything out, threw out old clothes and tried in vain to tame my shoes and the plethora of boots. But there simply wasn’t enough room on my two-tiered shoe rack and no floor space remained to house the rest.
Obviously, I’m not the only woman who struggles with such things because I know there to be a big market out there for closet organization. We don’t have the money (or the space, really) to get one of those built-in, fancy kits, but I would like to have a more logical and organized way of putting my shoes, hats and accessories away. I need them to be easily retrievable, without having to move a million things off of them before I can pull them out. A tall order, maybe, but I see now that someone has created just that.
NeatContainers.com offer stackable containers of varying sizes to accommodate all that closet clutter. The storage containers, also called PODs, are made of transparent plastic so that you can see what’s inside and, best of all, you can stack them vertically and still pull one out, completely, without the tower crumbling. Just like a drawer! Each pair of shoes and each hat could have its own storage container to provide a wonderfully structured and controlled closet.
Check out their how-to video to see what the product looks like and how it works. The pods look sturdy and strong and would certainly make sure that my shoes were no longer inaccessible. And I would have found both my slippers without having to empty my whole closet!
NeatContainers.com accept all the major credit cards, but are somewhat unique in that they also accept PayPal. My hat’s off to them for that!
