The summer is once again winding down and the scent of barbeques is slowly being blown away. Family vacations are over, summer camps and sleepovers have come to an end and it is now time to get back into the daily routine of work, school and life. This routine usually means that the family will be home more but it does not necessarily mean that everyone will be on the same schedule. Soccer practices and late meetings could make it difficult for everyone to eat at the same time, leaving some on the hunt for a snack or easy meal solution.
First stop on their hunt for something to eat is usually the refrigerator, which luckily stays organized because it conveniently comes with drawers and movable shelving. Although their next stop is the pantry, and if you are like most people, your pantry only consists of horizontal shelving leaving all the organizing up to you! It can get difficult trying to keep everything in its place and over time things are bound to get pushed aside and hidden in the back. You may never know you have that extra can of pasta sauce or another bag of chips for the party, which may cause food to go bad or an unwanted trip to the grocery store. So before that happens, let Sidelines get you organized! We offer many different storage options for the pantry and we have put together a list of some of our favorites to get you started! Happy Organizing!
 Oil Rubbed Bronze Deluxe Baskets Our favorite storage accessory for the pantry would have to be our Deluxe Baskets. Available in different sizes, these baskets are great for organizing anything from pasta to the kids after school snacks. With no end to their storage capability, our deluxe baskets do it all and they look good doing it! For an added touch of warmth to your pantry, try using our Rattan Baskets.
 Chef Series Adjustable Pull-Out Cabinet Rack Perfect for base cabinet sections or smaller applications of pantry storage, our Adjustable Pull-Out Cabinet Rack for 14” deep pantry systems makes seeing what you have so much easier. There is also no need to bend down or kneel on the floor anymore! Gliding on full-extension, soft-closing slides the adjustable cabinet rack fits 18” wide (or wider) cabinetry and is adjustable to different cabinet heights. Regardless of what you store in its chrome-plated steel baskets, this rack is the perfect addition to any pantry or kitchen cabinet!
 Oil Rubbed Bronze Deluxe Spice and Can Rack and Deluxe Wine Racks See all your pantry goods at a glance! No more discoveries of three open pasta jars or forgetting that you do have more garlic powder. Just slide out our Deluxe Spice and Can Rack to see what’s in stock. And just like our other deluxe products, the sliding spice and can racks fit different cabinet or shelf widths and are available in a variety of finishes.
 Mini Wine Rack Whether you are the type to maintain a cellar full of wine or you just like to have a few bottles on hand, Sidelines has wine storage options to suit any wine connoisseur! With our Deluxe Wine Rack choosing a bottle of wine has never been easier. Sliding on full extension slides this wine rack allows bottles to face you so you can read every label perfectly. Best of all, your bottles are stored at the recommended 15 degree tilt to keep corks moist for optimum storage conditions. For those of you who have limited space or those tricky, corner pantry designs then our Mini Wine Rack is perfect for you! With universal wall mounting options and the ability to rotate 90 degrees this wine rack elegantly stores a full case (12 bottles) of wine!
 - Deluxe Tablecloth and Linen Rack
Do you love being a hostess and showing off your great grandmother’s hand stitched table linens? Do you have to have multiple table cloth options on hand because “entertain” is your middle name? Well if you answered yes to either of those questions then you need our Deluxe Tablecloth and Linen Rack. Versatile to store everything from tablecloths to scarves and pants, our deluxe sliding rack provides the easiest way to keep table-toppers, runners and other linen wrinkle-free. Available in multiple width options and finishes, it just seems right to give your fabulous linens the storage they deserve!

Spring is blooming and once again warm air breezes through our homes calming our winter worries. That comforting breeze sends us the neighborhood sounds of children laughing and dogs barking. Unfortunately, that same breeze also sends us the sound of someone who opened a kitchen cabinet and watched as its contents fell onto the floor. Has this ever happened to you? Have you ever had your pots, pans or even your Tupperware come flying out at you? Well, if you have, you are not alone.

Trade shows always require an enormous effort in planning and setup just for a few days of meet ‘n’ greets with our existing customers and hopefully with a few new customers as well. Last week’s Closet & Home Organization Expo, held in Long Beach, California, was no exception. But we always thoroughly enjoy this annual event and the opportunity to see friends, colleagues and clients.
Having done this for so long now, setting up the actual booth with our many new products goes quickly. Here’s a shot of our finished exhibit:
 Sidelines' EXPO Booth Display This year we previewed some brand new products coming out later this year for the kitchen and pantry. These are pretty nifty pull-out racks that glide in and out silently on soft-close, ball-bearing mechanisms, so they feel light as air since there’s no effort needed to move them around. Here’s what our “kitchen products” wall display looked like:
 Sidelines' Kitchen Products On the left side you can see our new, tall Pull-Out Pantry Rack. And then our smaller and shorter Pull-Out Adjustable Cabinet Rack is shown in the middle at bottom, under the PressFix ironing board which is folded up, stored away.
We had lots of comments on these new items, most of which leaned towards the “this is so long overdue for the industry” type sentiments. We think so too! These will be available later in the year. (Watch this space for a future release date on these.) They are currently available for standard depth kitchen cabinetry (greater than 19” deep) in several widths and all with adjustable height ranges.
A couple of the other big previews we showed off at EXPO was on our “closet products” wall. We unveiled two new sliding mirror products for mounting on closet section side panels. Here’s the small one that’s designed as a three-panel model:
 3-Way Mirror and Deluxe Double Rack This one is only two feet tall, and the side mirrors hinge in over the main mirror for easy storage. You can also see our new Deluxe Double Rack mounted above the mirror in this photo. The DDR is actually a hardware plate added to our existing Deluxe Tie, Belt or Valet Rack units so that you can double the amount of rack storage (of your choice). You can use two tie racks, or belt racks, or one of each on either side of this new hardware plate.
We’ll have more on all these new products as they become available. There were several more items unveiled at the show. Keep checking back for more news from the organization front!

With Thanksgiving Day just around the corner, we thought we’d offer a couple of suggestions to help ease the stress of preparing the Big Meal. Getting organized in advance for the big day can ensure you’ll enjoy this Slow Food day and savor the time spent with family and friends.
- If your menu isn’t fully solidified yet, now’s the time to choose your final dishes. There will be a mad dash at the grocery store for the next few days, so stock up now!
- Buy your bird now. Remember: it takes a couple of days to defrost frozen turkeys of significant size. The longer you wait to buy, the fewer choices you will have regarding available bird weight options for the number of guests attending.
- Plan, plan, plan ahead. Make extra room in your fridge and freezer for all your ingredients as well as Aunt Bess’ special cranberry dish that has to remain cool up to serving time.
- Re-read all your recipes in advance. Determine which dishes can be prepared a day or two ahead of time and get them made. This will vastly reduce your pre-turkey stress.
- For the day of: Write out a timeline of events, from setting the table to preparing the gravy from the drippings. Knowing when your schedule is tight will aid in planning which family members you can recruit at certain times to help with various tasks. Most importantly, know exactly how many minutes to allow per pound of turkey and its needed rest time after it comes out of the oven. You want all your dishes to be ready at just about the same time before you sit down at the table.
Seasonal squashes, gourds and other fall harvest items make excellent table centerpieces (not to mention some make great soups as well). Stock up early on these funny-looking and colorful fall bounties to make the most creative presentation. We’ve even got a great way to stash them when not in use:
Our rattan baskets are an elegant accessory to include in any kitchen or pantry. Add them between storage sections in the pantry or under a counter for easy and attractive access to your produce. But our solid rattan baskets (shown in natural finish above) are also ideal for storage of pantry items that don’t do well on a shelf such as bags of potato chips, pet food and snacks. Whether you need shallow baskets to store your placemats or extra deep ones for a supply of potatoes and Golden Delicious apples, we’ve got them in a size and finish that will fit your needs.
Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone!
