Hooker's Delight!

It would be great if time and money were no object, wouldn't it?  We'd all remodel our closets and bathrooms to give ourselves the maximum storage. In the real world however sometimes the solution is clever, inexpensive and readily available.  Take the hook pictured above.  I pop one over the guest bathroom door when guests are here and voila! they can keep several items handy.  You can do it in your own bathroom if you rent and don't wish to put holes in the wall.  Now your nightgown and robe won't be taking up valuable space in your closet.

Many stores like The Container Store will do free space planning for you to help you maximize whatever space you find a challenge.  But here's my advice: weed out what you don't need to keep before you visit a space planner.  Why factor in storage for 50 shoes for example when all you're going to keep in the end are about 20?  Go in prepared with the measurements and a realistic idea of what kind of help you need.  And don't be surprised if the solution is a  hook or other handy gizmo that costs well under $5.00
