Storage at Home

Saturday, July 11th, 2009

My mother collects all sorts of things. She will not throw anything away if it is still usable even if she herself will never use it again. This means that her house is overflowing with things. Every so often I try to take a few things away in the pretence that I need them and then I give them away to a charity shop. It sounds mean but I think there is a risk that she will never get through the front door if we do not do something soon. I have decided to tackle her about it and perhaps try to get her to organise things better. I think that if I get her some shoe storage for example, she will realise quite how many pairs of shoes she has and how ridiculous it is to keep so many.

I also plan to sort out all her photographs into some sort of photo storage and hopefully she will be able to keep them neat and all on one place. I am hoping to make a bit more room for her by using some space bags for her linen and clothing. However, I have one big concern that if I make her more space, she might start to accumulate more things.

Photo Storage and Space Bags

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009

I find that storage in my house is a real problem. Ever so often we go through our things and get rid of stuff that we no longer want. We throw things away or give them away to friends, relatives of charity unyet we still seem to have far too many things. I am not sure why things just seem to accumulate in the house and the garage. I bought a garage organizer last year hoping that would help us but it just seems to accumulate more and more things, we do not know what is in there and we should probably just through everything there away!

I have a huge pile of space bags under the bed full of clothes and linen but I have no real idea as to what is in them and so they could probably go to the charity shop as well. I even have a shoe storage system in the wardrobe which is so cluttered up that I cannot see all of the pairs of shoes that are there. I suppose I should just admit that I am hoarder and I either need to have another big sort out or move to a bigger house!

If so, then you should really think about getting a photo blanket. It would be an affordable addition to your home that is both lovely and one-of-a-kind. All you need is a good picture and a willing weaver.

The principle is pretty easy to grasp. Instead of just having a random design on your blanket, you will get a custom design printed from one of your photographed. Getting a picture blanket is easy thanks to the ease which with computers can make them. There are a few different methods that may be employed. Some like to have the individual threads died ahead of time and knitted together. Others just dye the actual fabric with the image. They both work well, and it ultimately comes down to a choice in basic style.

It should be a fairly simple choice for you. Just decide whether you’d like something cool like a photo throw for your home. If you do think that it would look nice, then just take a minute and look for a service that will make one for you. It’s not as hard as you might think.
