One such item would be blankets. Our house is very drafty, and you just can't have too many blankets in the winter. ...maybe. Well, it's August, and I'm tired of moving them back and forth all the time to get them out of my way while we're not using them.
Enter the quick and space saving solution: Plastic garbage bags, vacuum and storage bins.
Take a couple blankets and carefully put them in a bag with plenty of room to tie off the top.
Turn on the vacuum, pound the items into the shape you need to fit your storage containers, twist off, and wrap with a rubber band.
That's great! I'm in the same shape - only I live in an apartment without basement, just a little storage room out back, but that vacuum packaging is wonderful. I will have to give it a try!
ReplyDeleteIt is hard when there isn't enough storage in a house, it seems to just look messy all the time. Our house is an old one without built in storage and I'm always on the lookout for more useful ideas!
ReplyDeleteSo smart! Those space saver bags are nice but can be pricey. What a great idea. I'm going to have to try this with my million blankets.
