DIY Under-the-Bed Storage

 
Here's a clever idea from Better Homes and Gardens: 

"Scope out old dresser drawers to repurpose as another kind of bedroom storage. By attaching casters to the bottoms of the drawers, you'll have a set of underbed storage units, making the space beneath the bed good for more than just dust bunnies."

Organizing Your Bracelets - Go Vertical!


"Avoid a jumbled jewelry box by stacking bangles and cuffs on a paper-towel holder. It'll be so much easier to survey your options." Another clever idea from Redbook!!

A Unique Idea for Storing Folded Clothes

    
Another idea from Redbook: "For tidy drawers, try arranging folded piles of clothes horizontally, filling each drawer from front to back. This way you can see everything, including that favorite college T-shirt you thought you lost five years ago." 


Isn't this clever? I love it! 

It would work well for storing fabrics, too!

Do It Yourself Shoe Storage

        
I'm always looking for shoe storage ideas. I stole this idea from Krystel Smalls. This particular picture shows children's shoes stored by pairs. But you could also store adult shoes (one in each cylinder), scarves, socks, gloves, etc. 

How to: cut PVC pipe to desired length and glue together. Use in your closet, bedroom, child's room, mudroom, entry, or wherever you like!
