I so wish I could do something like this, but the stairs in my apartment do not have open space under the stairs. It's just a wall, and that wall happens to be the only place where cable tv hookups are. I cannot tell you how frustrating this is!


Five Strategies for Storage Under the Stairs

My approach is to treat myself really well on Sundays.

- I tidy up (in a relaxed, don't-stress-myself-out sort of way) in the morning, so I'm not in a rush to do it at night and I can just enjoy my space.
- I pick up some flowers, even if they're just from Publix, to enjoy, and as a bonus they're there to pick me up on Monday.
- I open up a bottle of very light wine (no Monday morning hangovers!) to sip on while I read a good book, watch something particularly romantic or dramatic on Netflix (the new P&P has lately been perfect), or plan a getaway that I may or may not ever actually go on.

All of the above has the effect of making my current space pleasant and clean, and my brain relaxed and happy -- like a blank canvas to start the new week.
