Creative Space Saving Cabinets And Storage Ideas
November 17, 2008
Space saving organizational systems such as a wall magazine rack or a recessed toilet paper holder for the bathroom makes everything look neater and easier to keep clean. That isn’t the only room in the house that can benefit from these systems.
A cabinet spice rack can free up an incredible amount of space in the kitchen. For the bedroom, a jewelry cabinet may be just what you need to tame your favorite items. Many times, it is simply a matter of coming up with the right idea for the room.
Bathrooms
For being one of the smallest rooms in the house, this area has to hold a lot of stuff. Recessed medicine cabinets are a great start. If you would like something unique, consider a recessed toilet paper holder with a wall magazine rack built in. You’ve even seen some of these multipurpose type units in commercial grade stainless steel in public bathrooms. But they are also available in wood for the home!
These multifunctional units come in a variety of configurations to suit your needs. A recessed toilet paper holder might have a trash bin and paper holder with a separate wall magazine rack, or they can have tissue dispensers, paper, garbage, magazines, and a medicine cabinet all in one unit.
Even better, many of these types of units are “modular” in that you could customize them to choose the different “modules” you want your unit to have and the order they appear in the unit!
These come in almost any finish or you can order them unfinished and complete the system yourself. To make them really stand out, add a glass or mirrored door to the system or simply frame it in with intricate molding. A recessed toilet paper holder or wall magazine rack can have an arched top to give the lines in your bathroom some variety.
Bedrooms
Small bedrooms pose a particular challenge. In many instances, there isn’t enough room to include dressers or stand alone jewelry cabinet for small items. An in-the-wall system may be just what you are looking for. On the outside, these are very similar to a recessed medicine cabinet often with a mirror face and artistic wood frames.
Instead of wide shelves, the inside of a jewelry cabinet is full of bars, hooks, and small shelves designed specifically for holding these delicate items without tangling together. They can even have a hidden hinge and locking mechanism to make them safe and secure without harming the visual appeal of the piece.
For pierced earrings, stretch a pretty piece of cloth across an inexpensive embroidery hoop. Then, push the earrings through the material, put the backing on the other side, and hang it up next to the jewelry cabinet.
Kitchens
The spices and small bottles are the first thing to become horribly unorganized. It is rare to have enough space for everything causing them to start spreading to other cupboards or the countertop. A cabinet spice rack can help you deal with this problem. A cabinet spice rack comes in almost any size and is available in either a single or dual version.
They can hang on the wall or you can purchase a recessed cabinet spice rack to save space. Add a door and even a mirror on the front, or you can leave them open to show off your culinary prowess.
A wall magazine rack, cabinet spice rack, jewelry cabinet, and a recessed toilet paper holder are just a few of the space saving storage ideas you can incorporate into your home. They are easy to install. The lower stress level and beauty they add to each room will make you wonder how you ever lived without them.

November 17, 2008
A medicine cabinet may not seem like the focal point of a bathroom, but this one item can change the entire the look and feel of the room. The medicine cabinet is usually the only fixture positioned at eye level in this small room, meaning that it is normally the first place our eye goes in the room.
Old metal styles of medicine cabinets that are tacked on the wall of many American bathrooms make the room appear small and dated not to mention difficult to use. With a few hints and tips, you can replace it with one of the many fashionable wood medicine cabinets that look great and keep your bathroom organized.
Recessed Or Wall Mounted?
One of the first decisions you will encounter is whether to install recessed wood medicine cabinets or one that is mounted onto the wall. Generally, styles that attach onto the wall are great for larger bathrooms that have a wider vanity or corner. It will not get in the way of the sink or toilet and give you an extra ledge to store decorative items or extra supplies.
A recessed system can be used almost anywhere and is particularly handy in small bathrooms where space is in short supply. When purchasing these, you want to watch the sizing carefully. They need to fit between the studs, which are standard, but you will want to keep an eye on the height and depth. In a 2×4 wall, for example, recessed styles get fairly narrow making it difficult for wider bottles to fit on the shelves.
A hybrid between the two is a little more difficult to find, however it is a far better option for 2×4 walls. This system sits between the studs, but it sits out from the wall by a couple of inches. You get the needed storage space of a wall mount with the space saving benefits of an in-the-wall medicine cabinet.
If you are having difficulty finding a unit big enough, look outside the box! Other units may be billed as Spice Cabinets, Curio Cabinets, Wall Niches or regular in-wall cabinets, but they can actually function as any type of cabinet.
So don’t let the title fool you. For instance, an on-the-wall spice cabinet can range in size from 18-72″ and some can even be found in single and double versions. This gives you the flexibility to choose how large you want the cabinet to be.
And many on-the-wall cabinets are shallow enough that they could even be mounted behind a door for added storage! As an added benefit, many wall spice racks are modular making them inexpensive to ship.
Matching Bathroom Decor
These storage systems come in a variety of shapes, colors, and details to fit easily into any decor. Mirrored styles are great for small bathrooms because it eliminates the need for a separate mirror and makes the room look larger. These systems come in more shapes than just square or rectangular.
Styles with an arched top add a touch of elegance and visual interest to the space. Decorative frames and accents such as etching are great when it comes to adding to the decor. If you would like to match the existing finishes in your home, order an unfinished system and coat it with leftover paint from the trim in the bathroom or give it a custom finish all your own.
Wood medicine cabinets add a luxurious feel to any style of bathroom. Decide which style of medicine cabinet will give you the space you need and match it to the decor in the room for a custom look that rivals the fanciest of hotels.

Sphere: Related ContentHow To Easily Organize Your Backyard Shed
September 25, 2008
Your backyard shed is a handy place to store extra things when you don’t have enough room in your home. However, if your shed becomes unorganized, it can actually be a hazard instead of a help. Luckily, there are great solutions for keeping your storage shed organized. You can easily and inexpensively customize the interior of your backyard shed with organizational tools like shelves, hangers, hooks, pegboards, cabinets, and more. The following tips show you how to make organization simple by taking full advantage of the storage space in your shed.
Make A Plan First
To make a plan, stand inside your backyard shed and look around. Visualize where you can best place shelves, hangers, hooks, pegboards, cabinets, and other organizational helpers. Keep traffic flow, the need for large item storage space, and the location of doors and windows in mind. Don’t place organizational helpers, like shelves, too close to the door of your storage shed. By keeping the area around the doorway clear, you will not have trouble navigating in and out of your shed. Small items, such as hand tools, store great on hooks and wall-mounted pegboard. Consider boxes on shelves for medium sized items. Large items, like lawn mowers, are usually best kept on the floor in a corner or out of the way of traffic flow. Corner cabinets and shelves are perfect for taking full advantage of storage space in awkward corners.
Install A Workbench With Drawers
If you have the space in your backyard shed, install a workbench with drawers. This makes working on projects simple and the drawers maximize the amount of storage space you have much better than a plain countertop. Organize the drawers of your workbench with drawer organizers so you can separate tiny items like fasteners, screws, and nails. The wall space in front of your workbench is the perfect place to hang pegboard and hooks to make hand tools easily accessible.
Categorize The Items You Store
Separate the items you will store by category and keep alike things together in marked cardboard boxes or plastic bins. If certain items will not be needed regularly, consider placing them in a cardboard box and taping it shut. Keep items you will access frequently in plastic bins with easily removable lids. Keep similar storage items together, like Christmas decorations, but separate storage items that should not be stored together. For instance, flea repellent spray and dog food may both be for your dog, but they should not be stored in the same box. In addition, consider temperature when choosing what to store in your backyard shed because some things may not be able to tolerate extreme high or low temperatures.
The Order Of Importance Is Important
One often overlooked aspect of organizing a backyard shed is to store less used items in less convenient spaces and to keep often used items where they are most easily accessed. This is also true for when you stack boxes. Place the boxes you will be getting into most often at the top, not at the bottom of the stack. In addition, consider ease of access when choosing the entry for your storage shed. A wider door makes moving in and out easier and a ramp makes moving lawn mowers and other large items simpler than steps.
Use Your Vertical Space
If the ceiling height of your backyard shed is high enough, consider using the available vertical space for storage. Build a small loft or install ceiling hooks. Store tall items wherever space allows and store other appropriate items up and away.
Locks For Your Backyard Shed
While you are organizing your backyard shed, it is a good time to think about installing locks. If the door to your storage shed does not have a door lock, install one immediately. In addition, consider installing locks on cabinets to secure chemicals, sharp tools, dangerous items, and valuables. Locks will provide you with security when you are away from home and will give you peace of mind if you have small children or pets who might like to get into some of the things stored in your shed that they shouldn’t.
You can easily organize your backyard shed with some simple organizational accessories and planning. Just remember - if it is easy to access and replace an item back into your storage shed, you will.

Sphere: Related ContentBuilding A Storage Shed - How To Figure The Perfect Size
September 25, 2008
By building a storage shed, you can achieve total organization for your lawn equipment, tools, holiday decorations, and the extra items you want to keep but just don’t have the space for in your home. The most difficult part about building a shed is figuring out what size you need. Determining the perfect size should be one of the first steps in the planning process. The following paragraphs detail things for you to consider when deciding on the size of your backyard shed.
Homeowner Association Rules
If you live in a subdivision with a homeowners association, start there when first making your plan for building a storage shed. Many subdivisions require board approval and have special rules you must follow when constructing a backyard shed. Don’t go any further in your planning until you know the rules, including size limits, height restrictions, property line issues, setbacks, design limitations, roofing and siding choices allowed, deed restrictions, the process for having plans approved, and anything else you need to know.
Local Zoning Regulations
After checking with your homeowners association, contact your local zoning and building inspection department. Inquire about regulations for building a storage shed, including size limits, setbacks, and the need for permits or special building ordinances.
Finally! It’s Time To Determine The Perfect Size
Taking your homeowner association rules and local zoning regulations into consideration, answer the following questions that will help you decide what size storage shed will best fit your needs.
How Much Backyard Space Do You Have To Build Your Shed?
Measure how much building space you have to work with in your yard. Keep aesthetics in mind when placing your shed, as you want it to look nice and complement your yard since a well-placed shed can actually add to the value of your property. In addition, consider the traffic flow of your yard and whether you want your shed taking up a good amount of your backyard space. This lets you know the maximum room you have available.
What Do You Plan To Store In Your Shed?
Many times, the items you plan to store will automatically set the size of shed you need. Consider the small items that can hang on a hook or pegboard, medium sized items that will store nicely on shelves or from ceiling hooks, and the large items that can only be stored on the floor. In addition, keep easy accessibility in mind for items that will be used often, like lawn equipment, and less accessible storage for lesser-used items, like holiday decorations.
Will You Use Your Shed For More Than Storage?
If you plan to use your storage shed for other things than just storage, keep these activities in mind when determining the best size. If you plan to do woodworking and need a workbench, plan where it will go, how big it should be, and add enough room to move before building a storage shed. If you plan to park bicycles in your storage shed, make sure you allow for safe parking and easy accessibility.
Draw The Interior Of Your Shed
After defining the purpose, the items to be stored in your shed, and any restrictions you must work around, you should draw out a plan for the interior of your shed, including shelves, pegboard, cabinets, floor storage space, a workbench, and anything else that will go inside your shed.
Move In Before It’s Built
Once you have a drawing, spray paint or tape off the dimensions of your storage shed in the area of your backyard where you plan to build it. Mark off the door and any windows so you have a real visual look at the amount of usable space you will have.
Move the actual items you will store in the shed into the marked perimeter, especially large items. After moving items in, stand in the center and take a look around. Visualize where you will hang shelves, hooks, and pegboard. Walk through the perimeter, establishing an acceptable traffic pattern from the door to every area of your shed to ensure it is easy and makes sense. If it seems cramped, consider enlarging the perimeter, changing the location of the door, or increasing the height of your shed to take advantage of vertical storage space if you can’t enlarge the perimeter when building a storage shed.
By keeping these questions in mind, you will be able to determine the perfect size that will fit all of your storage shed needs. Keep the future in mind when building a storage shed. A tiny shed may work today, but you may need a larger one tomorrow as you collect more equipment, tools, and stuff to store.

Sphere: Related ContentCreative Uses of Shelf Systems for Organizing The Home And Office
September 3, 2008
If you visit most homes or offices, shelf systems are typically piled with books and magazines in a way appears messy and disorganized. Because shelves often occupy a great deal of space, the clutter can bring a cluttered look to the entire room. But shelf systems don’t need to be an eyesore! The first step in creating a more aesthetically pleasing look is to start with the shelf system itself. A floating shelf or a wider floating mantle shelf allow you to increase the visible presence of the shelf and improves its usability. Next, there are ways that you can arrange objects on the shelf that bring a more decorative look to your home or office space.
Decorative Shelf Systems
Instead of packing your shelves with just books or magazines, use bookends to segment literature and incorporate some decorative pieces between. Small sculptures and pieces of artwork appear prestigious and add a sense of elegance when they are positioned onto a floating shelf. A wide floating mantle shelf is a great spot to display family photos. You can stay strictly to photos in decorative frames or add artistic candles and pottery to add interest to the otherwise sharp geometrical shapes.
Visually Pleasing Organization
Shelving is a fantastic way to bring a sense of chic organization to your home or office. Instead of piling shelves full of books, binders, and magazines, add trendy wicker or sea grass baskets on a floating shelf. If organized in pretty, attractive storage containers, shelves can hold stationary supplies and other little things that have a habit of disappearing in desk drawers.
If you select the appropriate size basket and add them to a floating mantle shelf, they are perfect for media storage and business card holders. Interesting cups and vases make finding pens and pencils so much easier than digging in desk drawers and look amazing also. Larger, rectangular containers or decorative in/out bins can be used to hide files, paperwork, and bills.
Customizable Desks and Tables
Shelf systems also make a great home for equipment and electronics. Not only can you customize the spacing and location of the shelf system to meet your needs perfectly, shelving occupies less floor space than traditional desks and tables. A smaller floating shelf works perfectly for a phone table particularly in places such as a small entryway, or behind a desk where space is a premium. To add some additional decor to the shelf, add miniature potted plants or a small pen set and stationary for notes.
A floating mantle shelf works great for ‘holding’ wall mounted LCD and plasma TVs. One of the biggest trends is to add a decorative frame to the cabinet of the TV and accenting it on either side with ornamental plates or glassware. The TV looks more like a picture rather than a big piece of plastic stuck in the middle of a bare wall. Using a combination of different shelf sizes together on the wall makes an excellent computer desk that can be adjusted to fit the space available as well as the needs of the equipment.
Shelf systems are more than simple functional items added into your home or office. With a little creativity, you can simply enhance the look and feel of a room or make the space more organized and easier to use.

All you need is the metal storage shed, a plan to put down some flooring if you like, and a few simple tools.
Putting up the shed
Let’s face it. If you were to have someone else do it, it would take a long time. There would be hammering, sawing, drilling, and all sorts of loud noises for who knows how long. You’d have to deal with the anxiety of having your building finished as soon as possible, but such frustrations as slow workers and inclement weather would be working against you.

Sphere: Related Content5 Great Closet Cleaning Tips
July 15, 2008
Cleaning out your closets is always a difficult thing to do mainly because there are so many decisions to be made. To help you out, here are some great closet ideas that you may not have thought of or known about:
1) If you are like me, you probably have lots of clothes that have never been worn. If so, you can try to return them to the store where you bought them. The stores will sometimes give you cash but usually they will give you store credit. If you don’t want the credit, you can turn around and sell that credit on Ebay. There is a high demand on Ebay for store credit receipts and they usually fetch upwards of 80% of face value. Of course this will only work if you have store credit from a national chain.
2) Many people also use Ebay to get rid of their unwanted clothes whether it is new or used. Children’s clothes sell especially well as do sweaters, shirts, and blouses. If you hate the thought of organizing a garage sale, Ebay can be a great place to sell some of your nicer items and get some nice cash for them too.
3) Here is a very neat hangar trick - try putting all your hangars in backwards on the rod in your closets. When you wear an item, turn the hangar around. At the end of the year or season, you will easily be able to tell which clothes you haven’t worn and may want to get rid of!
4) Do you need more space to store things? Did you know that you can put the clothes you won’t need in large sturdy plastic bags and suck the air out of them? This also works great when packing for a long trip and you need more room. Give this a try and you will be amazed. Put all the clothes you don’t need in a plastic bag and use your vacuum cleaner to suck all the air out. It will shrink the size of your clothes significantly freeing up lots of room.
5) If you want to plan a new closet design, figure out first what you plan to put in the closet. Only by knowing what types of clothes you want to put in the closet will you know what types of shelves, poles, and drawers you will nee. There are many closet ideas out there and you need to be organized and create an inventory list first.

July 7, 2008

You do have to decide what type of shed you want to build because there are many different kinds to choose from.
Look at your budget and figure out how much money you have to spend on this project. You can go with the option of choosing a shed plan that comes with all the materials you need or you can just buy the plans. Then you can purchase the material when you need it so you don’t have to spend a lot of money at one time. If money is an issue, you can sort through the various plans to find one that is not expensive and will give you the extra space you need.
The foundation of the shed is an important factor. It does need to be solid and there are many different types of foundations you can choose from. These include:
- Patio stones. This is the simplest method if you are planning on having a wood floor in your shed. They are great for a shed that is not too large and for areas where the ground is relatively level.
- Cinder Blocks. This is another way of providing a foundation, but are not very good for areas where the ground is soft, they area heavy and provide support, but will sink into soft ground, thereby making your shed to look uneven.
- Super Spikes. If you want to build your shed in an area where one part of the ground needs to be raised, super spikes will save you a lot of work. However, they should not be used in areas that receive frost.
- Concrete Footings. These are the perfect solution in areas where the ground is uneven or where you need a building permit to build a shed on your property. They should be at least 10 inches in diameter and drilled well below the frost line.
- Concrete Pads. These provide a base from which you can mount your shed walls. If you intend to store heavy loads in the shed, this is the choice you should make.
Always make sure the shed plan you choose has a picture of the finished product. This will help you in your decision because you want something that will look great and match the exterior of your home. You may even be able to find a set of plans that matches your home perfectly.
Now take a look at the level of difficulty of the plans. If you have never built anything like this, you should opt for a simple plan or one that has all the instructions spelled out for you. Check the plans to see how much work will be involved and make a decision about whether or not you think you will be able to do it on your own.

Sphere: Related ContentGetting Things Done (GTD) with Junk Removal Services
July 2, 2008
If there was ever a unique service provided to households, junk removal services are exactly that. These services will take your junk and will dispose of it in the proper manner so that you don’t have to do it all yourself. Sometimes the junk that you have may be way beyond your handling capabilities, so you call on the junk removal service of your choice to get it done for you. When utilizing these services, you would be quite amazed at what kind of difference it makes.
How much of a difference do they make? They make quite a difference. If you are renovating your home and you have a lot of junk that is getting in your way, a junk removal service will clear out the obstacles for you. However, it is important that you choose a service that will provide you with the services that you need. This is because not one junk removal service is the same. They all get things done differently.
What does a good junk removal service do?
A good junk removal service will not waste your time, will carefully screen all of their workers to make sure your belongings will not be tampered with, they won’t walk off of the job before they finish it, and the workers will have good moral character. That means they should treat you with respect when coming to haul off all of that unwanted junk.
The disposal
The junk removal company should be able to take around 70% of the junk that is retrieved and recycle it. This means that not all of your junk is going to end up in a landfill somewhere where it can hurt the environment. In fact, having a junk removal service dispose of your junk is probably the most responsible thing that you can do because they are going to make sure that everything is disposed of properly.
They may also take pieces of furniture and other salvageable items and have them fixed for use in nursing homes, hospitals, schools, homeless shelters, low income homes, and other uses that give them a second life. Even soil can get a second go around. If the soil is usable, then the junk removal company will donate it to greenhouses and nurseries because they can always use good soil. If you have any green waste, the junk removal will make sure it is placed within lakes and ponds because the aquatic life can thrive on it.
As for what can’t be disposed of is common sense. Anything that is considered to be a hazardous material cannot be removed. This is for the safety of the junk removal service’s workers and for the environment. There is also the fact that they may not have a license to remove hazardous waste. The best way to learn of how these materials can be disposed of is through your local waste management office or a recycling center.
Keep in mind
Keep in mind that there is a cost associated with junk removal and it will depend on what and how much you are disposing of. The service will most likely charge based on volume, which is how much space is consumed in the truck. Some heavier materials such as concrete and plaster may constitute a higher fee due to the fact that they are disposed of differently. That is why it is difficult for a junk removal service to give price quotes over the phone. Nevertheless, you’ll find that junk removal is an affordable and environmentally friendly way to clear the clutter out of your life.
