Once again, Leland is my hero. If I had a dollar for every time this man solved my problems I would be a rich woman. (Lets just say I'm still waiting for those back-payments to kick in.) Well, once again he came to my rescue.
Here was my problem. A broken-down box full of hats, gloves, mittens and scarves.
This is as bad as it ever looks. This actually looks good. Half of the time the items are not even in the box. Not only is it messy, but it is very frustrating clawing through the pile to find your one good pair of gloves on Sunday morning before walking out the door.
Also, my kids like to play with them Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. They find it a favorite past-time to play dress-up with them. So I like to keep them out all year, which basically means I have a mess all year.
So what does a girl do? She goes to her husband and says, "What am I to do?!!!" *sob* *sob* *sob* No. Actually, I don't think there was any crying involved. This time. The time before that? Probably. Here was his brilliant solution. I'm kissing his feet over this.
An over-the-door shoe holder. PERFECT!! Why didn't I think of this? Not only is it neat AND organized so you can actually find that wayward glove, but it is also a great space-saver.
So I went from this:
To This:
Men's work gloves? No problem. Long scarves? No problem-just double them over a couple times. I put the kids' things on the lower rows so they can get their own and put them back in the right places when they're done with them.
I'm in nirvana.
