As the participants of the Org Junkie’s 28 Day Organizing Challenge are heading to the finish line I want to share some organizing tips for the Storage Challenged. Here is a trick that I would like to pull out of my hat to help get you all to the finish line.

Standard closets in most homes are equipped with a sturdy but un-functional single rod and a dust covered shelf that would be adequate if you are over 5ft 4 inches….however, if you are vertically challenged like me that shelf space is not even attainable unless you have a step stool in the closet.
Want to find some storage space…look up, look way up.
I love storage that is flexible. Rubbermaid shelving is all that and then some. It is easy to install, inexpensive, the pieces can be changed and if you have allergies in your home the open wire shelving allows the air to circulate and the dust to fall to the floor where it can be vacuumed up quite easily.
Here are some of the ways that I have used this Shelving system;
- Bedroom Closets…of course!
- Mudroom shelving
- A storage closet in a home office
- Mudroom closet
- Basement storage room
- Playroom
The options and variety of uses for this shelving are endless.
The beauty of this lightweight shelving is that you can take advantage of the unused vertical storage….by looking way up and taking advantage of that coveted space in between where you would normally stop your shelving you can add several feet to your storage options. 
Now in this last week of the 28 Day organizing Challenge go and reclaim the unused vertical storage in all your closets….
