Answer: Organizer for small cabinet

Posted on May 29, 2016 by Harriet

Q. My cabinet is only 4″ wide and 28″ tall. Do you have an organizer that would hold a box of foil and a box of plastic wrap and that would fit on the cabinet door?

A. Although there don’t seem to be any food wrap organizers that would fit within your 4-inch-wide door, I have an idea that could work: There are individual food wrap holders that can be vertically mounted inside your cabinet door with heavy-duty Velcro strips, so you could either use the food wrap holders attached to the door (since they dispense the plastic wrap and foil) or remove them for use.

Travel Organizers

If only we could travel without having to pack. Packing is probably the least fun chore of trip preparation, which is why so many people put it off until the last minute.

Whether or not you’re one of them, it’s helpful to have some time-saving travel organizers on hand to speed up and simplify the packing process. Here are three that can make it easier for you to pack like a pro:

The Pack This! Checklist Notepad is a comprehensive categorized checklist that provides a thorough inventory of what to pack–everything from specific items of clothing and toiletries to travel aid and documents–so you won’t have to worry about forgetting anything you might need while you’re traveling. The 6 x 9-inch pad of 60 pre-printed sheets is the ultimate reminder list for travelers–it even has slots at the top for Destination, Days, Special Events and Local Weather, and includes ideas for necessities you probably wouldn’t have thought of.
See-through Zippered Pouches and Mesh Packing Envelopes let you easily pack and organize all types of small items, from toiletries to papers. The sets include a variety of sizes and all are moisture-resistant. These transparent organizers also make it simple to keep receipts and other papers organized during your travels.
The Hanging Toiletries Organizer features 10 clear vinyl zippered pockets that let you quickly view and access the contents; a hook at the top so you can hang the organizer from a door, hook or shower rod, and also inside a garment bag; and a Velcro strap closure for easy packing. The pockets are four different sizes and shapes, pleated on both sides to accommodate various types of toiletries; and the entire unit is water-proof and designed to contain spills or leakage.

Bathroom cabinet storage solutions

Posted on May 20, 2016 by Harriet

Towels, toilet paper, toiletries, cleaning supplies…there never seems to be enough bathroom cabinet space for storing these necessities. But installing another cabinet may seem like more trouble and expense than it’s worth.

The solution: free-standing bathroom cabinets. These cleverly crafted units offer easily accessible shelves and compartments in a variety of different styles. Here are three types of space-saving bathroom cabinet storage solutions, none of which require installation:

One often-overlooked area is the wall space over the toilet tank. Luckily there are quite a few excellent over-the-toilet shelving options. Also known as etageres, some feature towel racks for hanging towels, while others–such as the Over-Toilet Space Saver–provide cabinet storage plus an open shelf.
Bathroom tower cabinets offer slim, stand-alone storage that utilizes vertical space, with a combination of open and enclosed shelving.
Alongside the commode there’s usually a sliver of space that seems too narrow for a useful storage solution–but the Toilet Paper Storage Cabinet is designed especially for that space. And the slender unit (6.25 inches wide) can hold more than toilet paper: while the main cabinet has enough room for up to 12 rolls of tissue, you can also use it for storing cleaning supplies. Plus there’s a top drawer and a flip-top compartment for keeping personal items discreetly hidden yet handy.

Remote Control Organizers

“Where’s the remote?!” Almost everyone has either uttered or heard that universal cry of frustration. It’s funny how something called a remote control can make us feel so out of control.

If misplaced remotes are a common source of annoyance in your household, it’s time to tackle your clicker clutter. The simplest solution is to obtain a holder designed to keep your remotes organized and handy. Here are four very different styles of remote control organizers, each with its own special twist:

The Spinning Remote Control Caddy features five compartments on a five-inch turntable that spins to allow easy access to all your remotes. Four of the compartments are sized to accommodate most clickers, while the large center section can hold DVD or Blu-Ray cases, a video game box or TV channel listings.
The Acrylic Clicker Caddy is a sleek storage option that can hold even the largest universal remotes. The clear design lets you quickly see all of your remote controls, and the center divider has a handle that makes the holder easy to carry.
The Armchair Remote Caddy is a space-saver that lets you neatly store up to four remotes on the arm of your recliner or sofa. Constructed of heavy-duty nylon material, with a weighted end and a retainer rod that tucks into the armchair to keep the caddy in place, the unit has four pockets sized to hold remotes or reading glasses, plus a large elastic band for storing a newspaper or magazines.
For sports fans, the Clickball Remote Control Caddy is a unique football-shaped remote control organizer that’s hard to lose.

Answer: Narrow pantry

Posted on May 10, 2016 by Harriet

Q. We have a 3-ft-wide space that is 8 ft deep (long and narrow). Wanted to create a storage pantry with shelves. I prefer white melamine unless you have another suggestion on material. What would you suggest?

A. Instead of white melamine, which can be high maintenance & tends to get scratched up, I recommend a coated wire shelving system: the FreedomRail Pantry Starter Kit.
It’s available in several sizes that would fit your space.

Can Storage Solutions

Posted on May 6, 2016 by Harriet

Ever wish you could instantly organize your jumbled canned foods and beverages? Well, now you can.

If you’ve got a cabinet or pantry full of disorganized cans and no time to get them in order, take heart. Here are three different can storage solutions that make it easy to quickly organize your can clutter:

The Chrome Wire Can Storage Rack provides three spacious shelves (18 inches wide by 16 inches deep) of storage space for canned goods, designed to accommodate a total of up to 45 cans of varying sizes. The shelves are slanted to allow the next can in line to roll to the front (a rim keeps cans from rolling off the shelf), and the base has rubber feet to keep the unit firmly in place.
The slim (only 5.5 inches wide), compact Canned Food Dispenser stores up to nine 10.5- to 16-ounce cans on two levels. When you remove a can from the bottom tier, another can takes its place thanks to the gravity-feed release system. This space-saving can storage system also works well on refrigerator shelves to keep soda cans neatly stored and easy to grab.
If you need even more storage for beverage cans in your fridge, the White Wire 24-Can Beverage Dispenser holds up to 24 standard soda cans, keeps the next can at your fingertips and even has a top storage shelf for holding additional beverages or food containers. Despite the name, this canned beverage dispenser will also hold canned foods and may be used on pantry shelves or inside cabinets.
