"Shop" for space in your home or office
>> 1/30/10
"Shop" for space in your home or office by looking at drawers, bookshelves, etc. with fresh eyes. I did this the other day in my own house and laughed out loud when I realized I had 1 drawer that could be emptied in a bathroom. I was so used to it being filled with items that I never used (which meant I never opened it because it used to be filled w/ toothbrushes, combs, etc. for our 3 children.) Now that they've grown up and moved away, I can re-purpose that space into something I use daily. I turned it into a home for some of my reading materials, instead of leaving them on the top of the toilet (which I did not like).
Take 5 minutes now and 'shop' in your home or office. Open drawers, closets and containers to see if you might discover a space that can be repurposed for a current need, instead of being a burial ground for old items!
