Hang Up Your Towels... and More

One of my favorite bathroom products is the "Hinge-It" towel rack. Why? Because builders are so often short-sighted about the need for towel racks in a bathroom used by many family members. There are almost never enough towel racks. Do I hear an "amen?"

So these easily install behind a door by slipping out the door hinge pins and then putting them back in threaded through the Hinge-It. It swings freely with the door, and you get space for 4 more towels... one of our client's children actually named the Hinge-It something like "Stanley," as in "Let Stanley hold that." I think that is hilarious!

AND, we stumbled upon a new use for these recently as a toilet paper storage device! See the photo.

Go forth and be creative with your organizing products!

Are You Ready for Holiday Guests?

OK, Thanksgiving is next week-- what does your guest room look like?  Or if you don't have a guest room, where exactly are those people going to sleep?

Get organized with our handy-dandy Guest Room Checklist.  You're welcome.   :)

Too Many Beauty Products?

If you, like many of our clients, have way too many bottles of facial moisturizer, various hair gels,  wrinkle creams, and other kinds of beauty products, have we got a great resource for you!

The Cosmetics Cop is a great site that provides product reviews and ingredient glossaries so you can make sense of all the hype. 

The idea is not to buy beauty products impulsively--check this site first and see if it's truly effective and worth the cost.  You can also look up items you already have and see which one is more effective before deciding to give one away or throw it away.
