Not Enough Space?

It is a common complaint, not enough space. Cupboards, bathrooms, closets, kitchens, we never have enough space. Sometimes its the size of the house and sometimes its the size of the room. In my case it is both.

Our little piece of the dream.

I do not know the square footage of our little home. It is not very big but it has 2 small bedrooms. The room on the right is a garage. The owners had started to convert it to a family room before they ended up buying a new house. It is great for storage and wok space but is constantly a dumping ground and hard at times to manuver.

There is only one clothing closet. There are only three drawers and those are in the kitchen. This ment bringing in a lot of different storage to satisfy our needs. And me being the crafty type alot more.

My bedroom as seen in previous posts, is not very large. In it i have two dressers against one wall and matresses taking up the other wall.(i snore so the more space between us while sleeping...) There is absolutely no space for a night stand. Whats a girl to do?

I used to have myu stuff stung up the side of my bed. My phone would charge, cough drops, tissue box, eye drops, my glasses, all eventually making their way down between the mattress and the wall. Then it took me forever to think maybe that's where they are at. When I got my tablet at Christmas I realized i needed a better solution.

I remebered i had a breakfast tray I use to use to do my beading with while i watched tv. I havent beaded much in the last three year so it would be great for keeping my stuff out of the crack. I dug it out of a pile of stuff in my office and wala.

Nice and confined. only problem i have found so far is my cats likes to jump on it like a trampoline. I'll have to get out the glue soon. It has been a great solution though.

RECAP: The Dresser

When last we saw my dresser it had been reorganized, except for the bottom drawer. I had found nothing to really solve that issue. i did though get the sock drwer done. I made sections to organize better.

These separtators are made from cereal boxes. Ill show you real quick how to make them.

Take a creal box. Tape the open end down. Cut the box length wise in half.

Add some scrapbook paper to the ends.

Tape large piece of scrapbook paper to the inside of one side of the long part of the box.

Wrap it around the box and tape to other side of box. Then tape open spots around so that it seals the box and looks neat.

There you go.

Thanks for re3ading and let me know what you think of my ideas and or the blog. Share you ideas or ask questions.

Next week: We go to the kitchen!
