Charles and Kris Costa are proud to announce the issuance of their latest patent for their innovation of the Premier Tie Racks, Belt Racks and Premier Mirror! This patent joins a list of patents for firsts in the closet storage industry and is sure to once again revolutionize the way closet storage is optimized with style and ease!
Our new Premier Racks go one step further than our patented Deluxe Racks. Not only do they pull out on ball-bearing slides, but they then pivot front ninety degress on locking, roller hinges. Voila! Now you can see all the ties or belts as they turn to face you! Our Premier Mirror glides out, pivots to display a full length image, then slides back in alongside the partook for effortless storage. Featuring an over-travel slide, the Premier Rack’s pivot stop prevents the mechanism from bumping into adjacent door or drawer!

Spring has sprung in many parts of the world and climates are changing. The time has come. Time to refresh your closets and organize for the season ahead. Clean it out, lighten up, strip the stuff that weighs you down. Spring is time for re-birth. You and your closets.
Here are a few of our tips to get you and your closets ready for the burgeoning season ahead:
- Don’t get weighed down. OK, some of us always want to loose weight. Think about it, when you do lose the weight, the first thing you will want and deserve is new clothes to celebrate. Make room for them now, mentally and physically. Don’t stay attached to old clothes, they had their day. New days are coming! Make room now! Then you are able to actually see where you want to go with yourself!
- Donate. There are several reputable organizations who will be happy to put your yesterday items to excellent use. Check them out in your area. From donation drop boxes to consignment shoppes, local churches, various shelters or other service organizations, there is always a need you can help fill. That sure beats items you no longer use taking up space in your closet and it feels good to help others.
- Move front & center: If the weather has changed and you won’t be wearing that suit jacked or wool coat for the next few months, move it to the least accessible area of your closet. Switch the seasonal items that make sense now to the forefront of the closet. That includes review of shoes, pocketbooks, gloves, scarfs, hats, drawers, sport clothing etc. It’s all about keeping it easy. Let your closet work for you not the other way around.
- Color Code: You will be amazed at how this little tip will help you pick your outfits, and you will also know immediately what you are in need of. This saves lots of time when prepping, dressing and shopping as you will have a visual to help you pull it all together. And while you are at it, what color are you this spring? Pick up a magazine, add a new splash of you to your couture!
- Be social: Group like items together, skirts, blouses, dresses, dress shirts, slack, ties, belts. Simply stated, this is just a huge help.
- Stay Inspired: After color-coding and socializing your clothes, experiment and mix & match outfits! Once you know what you are looking at, let the fun begin!
- Equip yourself: Buy what you need to support your effort. Use all of the same type of hangers, pick up an extra valet rod or two, maybe a new scarf rack. Again, let the closet work for you. Here are some of the easiest and most popular items that give back ten fold once purchased and installed:
 Sidelines Deluxe Valet Rod- Perfect for prepping next day's outfit
 Sidelines Deluxe Slide Out Pant Rack  Sidelines Deluxe Slide Out Scarf Rack  Sidelines Double Deluxe Belt & Tie Rack - Twice the storage in half the space. Customize by pairing our Tie, Belt or Scarf Racks, the choice is yours. Now you are positioned for a great season ahead. Enjoy it, your new closet and an organized new you!
The Art of Fine Spring Cleaning begins with you, and Sidelines!

That’s a wrap! We all know that phrase, and what it means. Job completed, satisfaction. Which leads me to think of a wee segment of our population where a little effort goes a long way, who when satisfied even just a bit, bring immense pleasure to the rest of us. Yes, children! We all know how it goes, when they are happy so is everyone around them. When they are not happy, well, we all know how that goes too! There does exist a small indulgence that gives great return. When implemented into a well designed junior closet, playroom etc, Sidelines’ Closetwear Hot Color Basket Wraps brighten the little one’s lives, and the lives of the adults among them, while at the same time adding a touch of fun and flair to everyone’s surroundings.
Check out this brilliant design, courtesy of Modern Closets, Chandler, AZ:
 Modern Closets, Chandler, AZ., Designs a junior closet any child or teen would love to call their own, incorporating Sidelines' Closetwear Hot Color Wraps.

A little extra wrap added on to the closet can go a long way to make clean up a snap! Now That’s a Wrap!

Charlotte turned out to be an exhilarating city, pleasant weather, crisp skyline, excellent food. Stepping throughout the city streets, I couldn’t help but look around and notice a city prepped for the future. Everything is in place, modern buildings, clean streets, natural and spacious common areas, transportation, shopping, entertainment, dining and even a flair of ethnicity in certain neighborhoods. This city has room to grow. Charlotte seemed appropriate for this year’s Closet Expo trade exhibition. As our industry, like this city, is certainly poised for success.
Sidelines was proud to introduce the following new relationships and products at our booth this year:
- Our partnership with LiveStorage, which pairs Sidelines’ most popular products with the the ease of the latest 3D design technology. Download a free 14 day trial at www.livestorage.chi-lc.com

- The Double Deluxe Hanging Bracket, which doubles the storage space of tie, belt or scarf racks by the addition of a simple mounting bracket.
- Our Deluxe Pull Out Waste Bin, slides out on our signature slides, with 2 compartments for easy sorting

Personal Space….what’s that? Who owns your personal space anyway? You, or all your stuff? Have you and your stuff become one and the same? Are you working for your stuff? Is your stuff working for you?
Stuff is an interesting word. Think of it. You can stuff a toy, stuff a backpack, stuff people, into a car, a train, a bus, a plane, you can stuff a mushroom, stuff a potato, stuff a turkey, stuff your mouth (with turkey), stuff a bookcase, your home, your garage, your closets, your brain! Stuff blurs boundaries. Do you have boundaries in place for your stuff?
When you think about the kinds of ways you spend your precious time, or your hard earned money, how much and in what ways do your efforts actually give back to you? Think about it, it may reveal some interesting dynamics. We work hard to buy things, spend time creating things, and then those things need maintenance, lots of maintenance. Homes, appliances, vehicles, clothing, kids, relationships, etc all require either some sort after space and/or some amount of maintenance, either physical or emotional. If it takes up space, it needs tending to. And guess who does the tending? Bingo…you do. After all, it is all yours.
Personally I am into low maintenance. In my fantasy “perfect world”, I work for something, create it or buy it, put it into place and it then takes care of my needs and itself. In my “real world” very little in my life works like that. When I look around my own space about the only things I see that even ring close to my “perfect world” functionality are my closets and my golden retriever! (Oh, my husband is pretty low maintenance too!) While not nearly as lovable as my husband or my Golden, my closets and their accessories do give back quite a lot.They give me a sense of organization and the gift of time. Organization gives me a peace, a sense of control and order. Organization saves me time because I know where things are and how to get them quickly. Evey moment I do not waste looking for something is a moment I can spend doing something else I really care about. Organization reduces stress. Organization puts the “personal” back into personal space, puts a boundary between me and my stuff, and gives me the ability to spend my time living more effortlessly. And isn’t that at least part of what life is about?
Sidelines’ accessories are effortless. Once installed, you are organized and they are done. No maintenance, just allow them to give you back your time and space, over and over again. No matter what your closets look like now, Sidelines can help.
Experience the gift of organization with Sidelines and enjoy all your precious time today!
