Clothes Hanger Storage
I have a small condo with very little storage. I recently did a clothes closet clean out and had 30 flocked hangers I didn’t want to get rid of. Problem is where to store them. I found this on Amazon. Magnetic. Put it in the side of my washing machine(which is in a closet). Think it will work great.

I need to see my stuff but it is too messy
I have ADHD and find it much easier for me to see what is in my cabinets (clothes, pantry, toiletries) as opposed to putting them in drawers. I fold and stack my t-shirts, jeans, sweaters, etc., but it is unsightly and disorganized looking. I also have a hard time keeping up with housekeeping tasks, no matter how hard I…

What's your favorite piece of storage/organization furniture?

What's something you know you should declutter, but you just can't?
Even as a decluttering pro, I can admit that there are still some items I just enjoy having one too many of — like coffee mugs, holiday decor and college memorabilia.

Best fix for a pile of t-shirts
I thought I had solved my bedroom closet T-Shirt problem when I bought these really nice closet storage boxes on Amazon. Unfortunately, I filled them up, and then the pile kept growing.
