Classy Clutter

Food and snack bags create a lot of clutter in the kitchen and eat up valuable cabinet and counter space. Instead, transfer ingredients and snacks into clear canisters and inspire a uniform tidiness. Plus, you'll keep mice away from your cookies and crackers.

Bar carts shouldn't just be reserved for drinks and entertaining at dinner parties. It can also be a great space saver solution for the bathroom. Instead of installing custom shelves which can be a real pain, use a bar cart that you can move around in a tiny space. Use one tier for your towels and another for soap and other products. It's also a good place for flowers to freshen up a guest bathroom or powder room.
