| Which of the following statements describe the help you’ve received in managing your organizing projects? (Check all that apply or have applied in the past.) |
|
| Where do you shop for organizing products? (Check all that apply.) |
|
| Describe an organizing product, resource, book, video, or other solution that you bought but never used—at least not for the purpose for which you purchased it. | We have a very small entrance area so I needed to utilize every inch of the 4x8 ft space. We live in a northern state that has 4 distinct seasons with a very cold winter so we have lots of cold weather clothing. I bought a fabric shoe organizer that we put gloves, knitted hats and scarves in the pockets. There is enough room to put our folding umbrellas as well. It is an over the door organizer so I hung it on a press fit curtain rod that just fit between the small bump out and closet door. It still allows access to the closet and there is enough room underneath for the shoe/boot rack. |
| For which collections or categories of stuff do you find it difficult to obtain or employ organizing and storage solutions, and why? | The garage items. We rent and are allowed to put up some shelving but haven’t found reasonably priced sturdy shelves. So everything is piled on top of each other gathering dust. Also need a solution for the off season tires rather than having them stacked on boards on the floor. It’s a one car garage so everything is smushed to the far end of the garage making it a chore to get anything needed out. |
| What’s your personal favorite inexpensive or free organizing solution? We’d love to hear about furniture, shipping boxes, food containers, craft supplies, or other unlikely items that you’ve ingeniously repurposed to hold your stuff. | I use a plastic folding box to hold games on the floor of one closet. A locker organizer holds our bike helmets on its top shelf while under the shelf is just enough room to hold my cookbooks neatly. Also use another locker organizer in the entrance closet. It holds regular hats on the top shelf while underneath the shelf a shoebox fits perfectly and holds all of our baseball and summer hats that can be folded. |
