The Sewing Mom

Now that I’m getting my kitchen looking the way I want it I’m trying to decide what my next project will be. I’ve got some painting to do, I always have painting to do, but I’m thinking I might want to do my closet and my daughter’s closet. My closet won’t be too bad, it’s a walk in and is layed out very nicely. I would just like to organize all the stuff that’s on the shelves, hats, sweaters, shoes, etc. My daughter’s closet is a bit bigger challenge. It’s sort of a walk in, with just one rod and one shelf. I need to take those down and start over, maybe raise the shelf, add another and do double rods. The similar task will be to organize all the stuff that’s on the shelf.

I’ve looked at those clear [tag]storage boxes[/tag] in different stores, but although I like that they’re clear, I’m not sure that they’ll be too convenient when they’re all stacked up. My luck I’ll want whatever is in the bottom box! I found something else though that looks like an even better option. These are called pods and they interlock when they’re on the shelf. The difference is that when you remove one, all of the others stay in place. Then, when you’re done, you just slide the pod back into place, sort of like a drawer. There are no tools required, the pods just slide in and out. The pods come in different size such as [tag]shoe organizer[/tag] and sweater sizes that all work together. This gives easy access to everything stored inside.

My daughter doesn’t have a dresser, so all of her pajamas and things are folded on the floor of her closet. I would like to put in double shelves and double rods and use these pods as a way of organizing everything that doesn’t hang. I think I need to make her closet the next project on the DIY priority list, I know she’ll appreciate it.
