How To Make Your Cupboards Larger In Under 10 Seconds 

September 25th, 2008

Added Shelf to Storage Room
Organizing and increasing space in your home

First Problem: I was organizing my shelves in my storage room. (My daughter said, “But you just did that”. I know but I just can’t help it, I am always trying to improve every shelf I have. I love to organize. Anyway, I have quite a lot of candles I am keeping because I use them. Some of them are in the way of each other. I have them in containers but they still aren’t handy to get reach.

Second Problem: In my kitchen cupboard the bread is kept on top of some bowls I use often. (Someone else in my family puts it there; it isn’t the kind of bread I use). This has sort of irked me for some time but I thought I would have to live with it.

Solution: You know how those cartoons are where they show a light bulb and someone gets a bright idea? That’s what happened to me. As a professional home organizer I am always putting shelves in women’s homes to increase space. And I have a lot in my own home. Now I have two more and I am so pleased with my extra space. (And hello, why didn’t I think of it sooner)? Better late than never.

Oh, it only took ten seconds or less to put them in my cupboards. That’s not counting my shopping time or the time I took to wash them before putting them in my cupboards. What light bulb moment have you had when you have found some wonderful organizing tool?

    What a great idea. Really smart for small spaces and allowing yourself to keep things you use, but also need to store.

    I attended a course some time ago and that light bulb moment you spoke of, they have a term for it…it’s called an ‘A-HA!’ moment. :) Love ur tips!
