10. Stagger shelves

Shelving units can overwhelm a tiny room and make it look even tinier than it is. Instead of boxy shelving, you can always use a ladder-style piece with shelves that are narrow when they get to the top. You can use this for either plants or books.

Your room will also look chic and lighter for sure.

11. Use the windows

Natural light is our friend in need, for sure, especially if we have a kitchen with big windows. Let me tell you a secret! In order to maximize both light and storage space, you might want to consider hanging racks across the windows for, you know, pots and pans, but also dishes. How cool is this? Would you do that?

    Of course you COULD just do what I did, and get rid of a BUNCH of stuff! My son recently visited my “new” apt that he’d not seen since I moved in 3 1/2 yrs ago. While he was here he asked, “So, where’d all the stuff go?” I told him, I got rid of it all!

    But your suggestions were awesome! Congrats on a great article! ~ Shelly 😉

    What am I missing in the Make-up Behind the Door???? You state move the make-up to another space.”This solution is simple, and it’s cheap! How cool is this? You can fill up its pockets with everything you want to..” Pockets? What pockets?

    There definitely is something wonderful about America. Just ask all of the people who want to come here. We are still the land of the free and home of the brave. We also welcome those from other countries that want a better life for their families and are willing to put in the work once they get here. We even help them financially to achieve their goals. Many immigrants receive much more in benefits than our lazy population who refuse to get jobs. We may not be perfect but we are still the land of opportunity. There is nothing “superior” about Americans and most of us aren’t so easily offended by another person’s freedom to choose their own words. God Bless America!!! Land that I love!

    These ideas all “sound” good, but some folks are visual as well. Would have been nice to see photos of all the ideas listed.
