We would once again like to thank each and every one of you for your patience and understanding through our recent warehouse move. The last month has been long and busy for us but we are happy to say that things here at Sidelines are finally back to normal! We had planned our inventory relocation with the utmost care and attention to detail to ensure a seamless and (hopefully) invisible transition for our customers. But like many moves, despite perfect planning there were the inevitable hiccups that occurred in shipping recent orders to a few of our clients. For this, we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you or your customers in turn.
 The new warehouse Changing warehouses was a result of our desire to improve services to all of our customers. So far the effort that we have been shown from the new warehouse, reassures us that the move was well worth it! We have been extremely satisfied with their advanced computer technology and the benefits it holds for our customers. Their organized and reliable system will bring you improved order tracking and response times, better material handling, quality control and, best of all, faster turnaround from order to delivery of goods. We are very pleased to say that the new warehouse is clean and organized but most of all committed to giving us and our customers quality service. So from all of us here at Sidelines, we thank you for your continued support and look forward to the months ahead!

Ironing! The word itself can immediately make you feel lazy and crazy. After doing load upon load of laundry the last thing that anyone wants to do is iron. It is just one of those tasks that does not rank high on the “to do” list, often times reminding us to purchase more cotton! All jokes aside, the truth is that ironing is just not easy. Most people have large, awkward, stand alone ironing boards that are difficult to store and always take up more room than they need to. Once set up, they are not always sturdy and can be hard to maneuver. For those of you who iron on a regular basis, this cannot be something that you look forward to. So what if you could find an ironing board that looked great and was easy to use? Well, have no fear because Sidelines has just that. Let us offer you two amazing suggestions that will not only save you space, but will save you time as well!
For those of you who enjoy the original concept of the ironing board we present to you Sidelines’ Pressing Perfection™!
 Pressing Perfection™ shown in Oil Rubbed Bronze Fast and easy to use, this space-saving board simply slides out, folds down and pivots away from the partition. The board has adjustable folding support legs that make it easy to get your ironing done fast. For tight spaces and user comfort, the board may be swiveled in its in-use position anywhere from 90 degrees perpendicular, to smaller angles in between and parallel to the partition. Once you are finished, simply fold the board up and slide it back into its stored position. With amazing storage capability Pressing Perfection™ gets the job done without getting in the way!
If you are in need of an ironing board that takes up even less space, then the PressFix™ may be just what you are looking for. Taking things one step further than our Pressing Perfection™, this ironing board is so compact you may even forget it is there. Installed in just 4 minutes, PressFix™ can be mounted to any fixed shelf at least 24 inches wide.
 PressFix™ To use it, simply slide it out and unfold the board on its heavy-duty, steel ball bearings. PressFix™ does not need legs for support, so it makes ironing skirts and slacks very easy! The board swivels a full 180 degrees and its pre-set locking positions allow it to rotate with you for optimum comfort. With moves like this your ironing will be done in no time with the PressFix™.
Well, hopefully your impression of ironing has changed a little after seeing some of our innovative designs. Ironing does not have to be a feared household chore anymore, especially if you have the right help. Our goal at Sidelines is to make life easier for you, no matter what room of the house you are in. So hopefully one of these ironing boards will assist you in getting the job done faster so you can move on to more important things. And if not, then at least think of all the space you will be saving with their amazing storage capability. That alone should make you happy. Out of site, out of mind until your next ironing pile is ready! – SC

Why do we let things pile up around the house?? Simply put, life gets in the way! We set out with the best of intentions to keep things organized but time gets the best of us and so unwanted clutter is born. It comes in many forms – a messy pantry, countertop clutter, a closet disaster or a child’s untamed play room. Whatever your clutter may be now is a good time to get it under control. In our last blog we told you that it does not matter where you start because every person and each home is different, you just have to start somewhere!
So in an effort to abide by the age old rule of “You can’t fix others until you fix yourself,” start where it will benefit you the most – your bedroom closet! Organizing your space will hopefully motivate you to begin organizing other parts of the house too!
Before attempting a closet overhaul you must take everything out. This will help you really see the space you have to work with and locate your closets best features. Do you have shelves that could be used for something other than what you were using them for? Do you have floor space for shoe storage? These are important questions to ask, not only to maximize the space you have, but to decide if you need to invest in any closet organizing tools. This is also a great time to replace all of your old wire or broken hangers with new durable hangers. Your clothes will thank you for it!
Speaking of your clothes, it’s now time to go through everything you took out of the closet and divide it all into three groups: Trash, Keep, and Donate. Try things on and make sure they still fit, if they don’t you know what to do! Follow your gut; if you have not worn it in a year or if it is torn or tattered, get rid of it. Use this rule as your guide and get to sorting. This goes for all of your shoes too!
Once you have decided what you are keeping separate it into groups that make sense. Our suggestions: Work/Business, Casual/Everyday, Formalwear, and Seasonal Items. Within each of those groups separate your clothing further into sub-groups like long sleeve, short sleeve, dress pants and jeans. You can always go one step further and group everything according to color. No matter what you decide, separating will keep you organized and will also ensure that everything has a place!
Finally it is time to put everything back in. Now that you know what your closets best features are, you know where to put everything! Keep the commonly worn items in plain site for easy access and go from there with the rest. Get Excited! You probably gained ten minutes of your morning back just from organizing your closet. Hopefully the result was worth it and you are now ready to keep moving forward on your journey for home organization. We wish you luck and don’t forget to donate! – SC
