Dress for success
Here’s a great fix for lack of closet space in a small apartment: simply curtain off an alcove or part of a room to hide a rod for hanging. The real hero here? A dresser that, with lots of drawers, offers tons of organized storage space. Genius!
Step up
A stepstool is a far safer option for reaching high storage shelves than tottering on a dining room chair. This must-have for every home needn’t be an industrial metal job from the local big box. Isn’t it time to step up in style?
