Making extra space in your apartment can sometimes be tricky.  Even the with the roomiest apartments, it seems that you can always use more space, right?  Luckily, there are creative people out there who care enough to share there ideas with you on how to make the most out of the space that you have.  Here are a couple tips I found in an article published recently by Reader’s Digest…

“My pantry isn’t big enough.”  Add shelves to your door. If your walls and floor are jammed with cans and boxes, look behind you: Is the back of your pantry door being used effectively? Install narrow shelves or hanging racks on the door to hold frequently needed items such as spices, condiments, and snacks.

“I don’t have much room to store out-of-season clothes.”  Use vacuum seal bags. You can store seldom-used clothes in very little space if you use vacuum-seal bags, which are available at hardware stores. The clothes compress and are totally safe from insects and dust.

You can actually get Space Bags vacuum bags at Target (2201 Cobb Parkway Southeast, Smyrna).  They should go for around $12.99 for a set of 3.  Hope this info helps…and good luck organizing!
