Tote Bag Solution

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Years ago I spotted a neat owl plant hanger at someone's house, but it was vintage - probably original to the house - so she couldn't tell me where to find one.  Low and behold, I find two at a yard sale the same summer.  I don't hang plants, but I use one to keep my tote bags handy.  We had one in our old apartment and <em>finally</em> got around to installing one in the townhouse.  If you're looking for a clever way to store tote bags, I recommend using a planter hanger because the long arm is handier than most hooks:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuJDRvMjg4r0ZXQxGsYi_eUDsmpPldihfIRPca6m4C8vBw3eghLNQEfVKooFG9sOBakKgKsYn1LRVe7wcLwrN9VEbHwrPe8Zty5jRj9uHJxfX0c1ygwoAtvMjx9fUIqv41UKQjrUiIb9Q/s1600/012.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" j6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuJDRvMjg4r0ZXQxGsYi_eUDsmpPldihfIRPca6m4C8vBw3eghLNQEfVKooFG9sOBakKgKsYn1LRVe7wcLwrN9VEbHwrPe8Zty5jRj9uHJxfX0c1ygwoAtvMjx9fUIqv41UKQjrUiIb9Q/s640/012.JPG" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I like my vintage one, but a brand new one would do the trick</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn08XS_COeH2jaM-q8VhpfQJ3BMYsVaZJlE38HgCltr8DyBLox46nAHwisDBLQR595nssLOp9LQTXN8Cj_iNRJGiBOBbVeygS1felQFWa0r4eqoiEVChUDcIwXRjVIwIU0CNI0RRlc4Ss/s1600/018.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" j6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn08XS_COeH2jaM-q8VhpfQJ3BMYsVaZJlE38HgCltr8DyBLox46nAHwisDBLQR595nssLOp9LQTXN8Cj_iNRJGiBOBbVeygS1felQFWa0r4eqoiEVChUDcIwXRjVIwIU0CNI0RRlc4Ss/s400/018.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDbIxO734YTtvFIFWVEUyql0U4zi3y66sDY2Jaosi-x9QIoq8gMHLJ5NEJ50KiYrvQZB78j4OpgA3kLHL6DFQtl_FpTgB5LouVpuuTeXozmn4twlDfUiD6fT1qg2MztlWDGEQc58_4DpI/s1600/019.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" j6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDbIxO734YTtvFIFWVEUyql0U4zi3y66sDY2Jaosi-x9QIoq8gMHLJ5NEJ50KiYrvQZB78j4OpgA3kLHL6DFQtl_FpTgB5LouVpuuTeXozmn4twlDfUiD6fT1qg2MztlWDGEQc58_4DpI/s640/019.JPG" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Good for one . . . </td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhinOT5IcQm7gb2ik-zhg7z1BGnta1TE3pqmvhq56wM0x5Uk50IBVbSv3ii1GOm-1EqRcPLNMpTglUVH0ILUqGTUG2MY7FUgjF6DbFqOihyOpj2X3h5210X8hF0N0pXFyzGYzfXAhlW1-s/s1600/016.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" j6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhinOT5IcQm7gb2ik-zhg7z1BGnta1TE3pqmvhq56wM0x5Uk50IBVbSv3ii1GOm-1EqRcPLNMpTglUVH0ILUqGTUG2MY7FUgjF6DbFqOihyOpj2X3h5210X8hF0N0pXFyzGYzfXAhlW1-s/s640/016.JPG" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">. . . or a bunch!</td></tr></tbody></table><br />What are your clever tricks for making storage simpler?

I am no exception, although I don't like to say its a resolution, because it psychs me out...I call it a goal for the year. Currently, I am working on making a spare room a full-fledged office, for my work. Up until now, I have been working mostly from a desk. My goal now is to have a beautiful, creative, and organized space.<br /><a href="http://www.idonline.com/currentissue.asp"><span style="font-style: italic;">I.D. magazine</span></a> and <a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/portal/site/mslo/menuitem.3a0656639de62ad593598e10d373a0a0/?vgnextoid=0d31186082ca6110VgnVCM1000003d370a0aRCRD&vgnextfmt=default&page=4"><span style="font-style: italic;">Martha Stewart Living</span></a> have some great examples of some very creative work spaces. Not all are incredibly organized, but they serve as a source of inspiration for the people who work in them. There is a lot to be said for spaces that have "a place for everything and everything in its place," but its important to make your space creative and fun too. I love an office that shows the owners personality.<br />Well, I am working on making an inspiring place for myself and I hope to post it soon.<br /></div>
