My house doesn’t have a lot of closets on the first floor. There’s an under the stairs pantry area, but nowhere to stick all the brooms, vacuums and other stuff. I hated having everything just sit there out in the open, though. It looked so messy and everyone who visited would feel like they were interrupting me in the middle of vacuuming. “Are you sure? I can stop back in an hour…”
Then one day, I was staring blankly at an empty nook in front of me and being mildly irritated by the vacuum off to the side while I was working on some interview questions. A light bulb went off in my head and the interview question I was in the middle of formulating, which I’m sure would have been hard hitting and thought provoking, was forgotten. A nook, a vacuum…All I needed was a screen and I’d have a portable broom closet. I found a screen that matched the room’s decor, put all the brooms and vacuums in the nook and pulled the screen in front of it. The cleaning tools are out of sight, but still easily accessible and I am thrilled.
Pretty obvious, huh? Since it took me five years to realize the solution was staring me right in the face, though, I thought I’d share it with you.
