Organizing for the Holidays!

Monday, November 29th, 2010

With Christmas right around the corner, the holiday spirit has begun to fill almost every house we know!  It is that time of year to remember what is most important like family, friends and our health.  Although somehow those important things seem to get overshadowed by the hustle and bustle of house guests, cleaning, cooking and gift giving.  No matter how many times we tell ourselves to take a deep breath, we still allow the stress of the holiday season to overcome us.  We always vow to begin our shopping and cleaning earlier than the last but there always seems to be something else leaving us overwhelmed.  There are very few people who actually plan ahead and find themselves stress free when the house guests arrive.  Wouldn’t that be nice! So with that being said take a deep breath and try something new this year.

With no way to get around the necessary cleaning and shopping lists it does not mean you have to tackle the large projects you have wanted to do since last Thanksgiving!  If a closet or pantry is unorganized at the moment, than it has probably been that way for a while.  So don’t add to your holiday stress now, instead, take inventory of what you do have and what is not working.  Between house guests, hosting parties and holiday decorations, you will be using every inch of your home.  This will enable you to really evaluate your organizational needs and put together a list of items that you need and want.  For once, maybe you will enjoy the holidays, not get stressed and have a “spring cleaning” project to tackle once the holiday rush is gone.  Now look who is planning ahead! 

So from all of us at Sidelines we wish you the Happiest of Holidays and the Brightest of New Years!   And as you spend your time surrounded by the things that mean the most to you, we leave you with some ideas of those organizational items that mean the most to us.  We hope they will come in handy for whatever your next big project may be!  

Premier Closet Mirror - Great for any room or closet this mirror fits in a space no wider than a jacket hung on a hanger, our latest mirror’s design takes up less than half the stored width of our original Closet Mirror at a modest two inches! It has over-extension, soft-closing, ball-bearing slides so that it swivels gently in front of adjacent cabinet doors and glides silently back into place for storage.  And for your teens, check out our Mirrormax Mirror…they will love it!

 

Professional Series, Pull-Out Pantry Rack (for 14in deep) – Fitting standard 14-inch deep pantry sections, our adjustable height tall rack glides in and out of 18-inch wide cabinetry on full-extension, soft-closing, ball-bearing steel slides. Five heavy gauge, chrome–plated steel baskets make this a must have storage unit in any kitchen!

Premier Tie or Belt Rack - Ever looked at one of our Deluxe Tie or Belt Racks thinking, “I wish I could get both belts and ties on this,” now you can! With the simple addition of our Double Deluxe Rack hardware plate, any signature Sidelines’ Deluxe Tie, Belt or Valet Rack can be converted to hold double the capacity. Imagine – Twice the collection of ties! Twice the number of belts or any combination thereof! It’s that easy.

Just Remember:  In order to create our new Double Deluxe Rack you will need to purchase three products – one deluxe accessory rack, one wall mount accessory rack and the hardware plate!
