Create A Closet So Organized that No Doors are Necessary!

No door needed here for this multi-function utility closet, for if there were I could sincerely recommend a barn door in its place. I note ‘multi-function’ to describe this due to the fact that painting supplies (and paint!) are quite close to the ironing supplies, which might only be steps away from the eye care products and toothpaste. While at it, I might also bring the toilet paper down to a lower level…

As I often say in these parts, www.WoodworkerExpress.com carries a handful, if not more of the products that you see here in this utility closet. If you think I’m exaggerating, then take a look at the HandiSOLUTIONS® Wall Panel that is accessorized with baskets to hold cleaning supplies and a mop + paper towels. We don’t sell the mop (…we do sell brooms!), but all the accessories holding baskets that attach to this wall panel we’ve got! The chrome Rev-A-Shelf closet baskets stowed in the lower right bays are in stock at the moment…they’re also available in oil rubbed bronze and satin nickel finishes.

Lucky for me, as you see, I’m prepared…cleanup in Aisle 3!

Can Slatwall Organization Save Your Life?

I wouldn’t know what to do with 3/4 of the items attached to the slatwall on display here. As a townhome owner/occupier (and monthly assessment donor), I consider myself fortunate enough to not have to do (m)any exterior yard chores or snow shoveling as part of my habitation duties. It’s a beautiful thing, as it suits my preferred lifestyle quite well. It also opens up free time for hobbies on the weekends (like Soap Carving, or Competitive Duck Herding) when you’re not bogged down doing exterior home maintenance and groundskeeping.

However, for those in the majority, I’d be remiss to not introduce the HandiWall® PVC Slatwall Organization System from HandiSolutions®. This system is essentially a Swiss Army knife-like configuration to keep your garage/hobby room organized and in top form. A house/garage is not a home without these comprehensive storage ‘staples’. And, for the approach, there’s some general ‘rack’ type of supports, which are super flexible for those types of tools that you tend to hang when you store them…I’m thinking: shovel, rake, hoe, broom….pool cue! No real need to go ‘general’ unless you choose to because HandiSolutions® has an exhaustive amount of super specialized hangers/hooks/shelves/tool racks/bags/bins/baskets/etc. to choose from when outfitting that PVC HandiWall® of yours. Spouse-permitting, you might even be able to outfit your kitchen pantry with some of the accessories shown here…you’ve just gotta use your imagination. That said, don’t blame me if your spouse doesn’t quite see eye-to-eye with you on the idea of installing HandiWall® Slatwall Organization into your kitchen pantry….and don’t feel bad; there’s always the garage or your hobby room.
