Up, Up and Away!

Small spaces...tricky to keep organized and tidy. A small kitchen can be the toughest space to keep functional. Cabinets are full, drawers are full, counter tops covered. Seemingly there is no more room! But wait...there is...just look UP.

Often we don't realize that there is usable space on the walls and above our heads. Think vertically!

We hung these baskets to help keep the very limited counter space in this tiny NYC kitchen clear of clutter. They hold items used frequently and keep them accessible yet "contained" and "away."

Before you give up, look up.

Sweet Tee's

Find the tee-shirt you want every time you open the drawer!

If you're like most people who store tee's in a drawer, you can't find the shirt you're looking for when you want it. Why not? Because it's probably at the back of the drawer under a mixed up pile of all the other shirts.

The drawer probably started out with the tee's folded into neat little piles; until you wanted to wear one. Inevitably the one you wanted was on the bottom of the pile, and as soon as you pulled it out all the other shirts came out as well.

"But what can I do about it?" you ask. You can change the way you pile. First, fold the tee's the same way you would to pile them then just fold them over one more time. Then line up the tee's horizontally in the drawer. Arrange by color and your tee-shirt drawer will look like this one! You'll find the shirt you want and won't make a mess. Yay!
