Clear Plastic Boxes
When it comes to storage, I have very little space and even less
patience. I seem to have too much stuff, but I also can’t seem to part
with it. I get this from my mother, but to my credit, I do not have
nearly the amount of stuff saved as she does, and I do tend to throw
more things away than she. However, with my limited storage, I have to
stack things up in my small closets, and that makes it almost impossible
to find the one thing that I might be looking for. I solved the problem
(at least partially) but getting clear plastic boxes for storage.
When you see storage options in the stores, you may see a lot of the
plastic tub types of boxes around. You may see green and red ones around
Christmas time, and even pink and blue to go with children’s bedrooms.
What you may also notice is that some of them are solid, and the rest
are clear plastic boxes. When you have limited space and must cram
things all together in a few chosen areas, the clear plastic boxes are
always the best choice. This is because you can see what is in them
without having to take them all out and open them.
When I started filling my clear plastic boxes, I had to stop and
start all over again. Though I knew I would see what was inside, you
can’t see all of what is inside. That meant my habit of just throwing
whatever I grabbed into the same box was not going to work. Instead, I
tried to separate what I had into categories - and I use the term
loosely - so that I would have a better idea if I was on the right track
when searching. One of my clear plastic boxes was for blankets, and the
next was for books, etc. That does help deciding if I have found the
right one.
I have also found that the clear plastic boxes are great for storage in
the back of my car. Instead of having everything roll around back there,
I have found a smaller box to put things in. That means everything I
need is in the same place and is not clunking around each time I go
around a corner a little too fast. Liquids like window cleaners stay
upright, and I can always find things I might need in the dark right
away. If you think this is something that would work for you, get the
clear plastic boxes that will fit in your trunk and that have a secure
lid for your car.
