The Reach In Closet

Everyone would love to have a walk in closet but most homes, apartments and condos have at least one if not two closets that are reach in. I personally love a reach in closet because if you utilize the space correctly you can see everything you have right in front of you. With so many closets systems available, you can choose the one that fits your space and budget.1. DSCN1126 - editThis closet is an all white California Closet.

They make practical use of hard to reach corners and offer a variety of upgrades.

Does your pantry have these items?

I am one of those people who enjoys waiting in the grocery store check out line so I can glance through the magazines and get all the latest celebrity fashion and gossip. I was so excited to see O magazine has dedicated their March issue to getting rid of the clutter in your life. I watch the OWN network occasionally but since The Oprah Show went off the air O magazine allows me to still get my Dr. Oz, Nate Berkus, and especially Peter Walsh fix. There were so many helpful tips and great information in this issue it was hard to pick just one thing to share. So I picked the one many of us are guilty of.

The sun-dried tomato tapenade you planned to serve at the dinner party you didn’t get around to hosting? The hearty, dry-bean soup mix with instructions that sound like a drag? “Let it go,” says Walsh. “Anything you don’t use regularly, or have immediate plans to use, is in danger of being wasted.” Pack all edible nonperishables into a box marked “donate” and drop it off at a local food bank.
