Storage

Storage is not something of abundance when you live in an apartment. Josh and I are very fortunate to have 3 closets in ours, but with one being in the kitchen (making is a pantry of sorts), and one being in our bedroom, we are left with only 1 closet that could be considered for storage.

I hate that closet. Its dimensions are weird and it has 3 shelves installed so that it cannot be adjusted.

In the beginning it was great, everything was able to fit in boxes on the shelves and items like the vacuum fit nicely in front. Well, now that we are accumulating more things like holiday decorations, fans, things we had stored at our parents, luggage, and other stuff, that closet is my nightmare.

I am an incredibly organized person. Nothing makes me more upset that knowing something is not set up to the best of its ability. I like things to be functional and neat. That closet is anything but functional and neat.

I cannot tell you how many times I have tried to re-organize that closet, but nothing helps. I understand that it has everything to do with our accumulating extra stuff, however the stuff cannot be thrown away. None of it is garbage.

So for now I am forced to just ignore that stupid, messy closet. And if I ever need anything out of it, my lovely husband has volunteered to be the one to dig stuff out because his patience is much greater than mine.

I cannot wait until we live in a place with more storage options, like our own garage… Soon!
