Tote your cleaning supplies in a utility caddy

A utility caddy is one of the best uses you’ll ever make of $11. There are so many ways they come in handy. They’ll hold all your household cleaning supplies – cleaners, brushes, etc. – so you can store them out of the way and carry them from bathroom to bathroom to kitchen as you clean. You can also use them to tote gardening supplies around outside as you move from one ...

Fiberboard file boxes: durability, functionality and style

Okay, let me just admit right up front this isn’t the cheapest file box you can buy. You’re paying partly for durability compared to cardboard file boxes and partly for looks. But if you don’t have a closet to stuff away your cardboard file boxes, they can look ugly and depressing in the room where they’re sitting. This Cargo file box in Red Spice can actually improve the room instead ...

Fire safe file cabinets protect your documents

If you’re not crazy about the idea of putting your valuable documents in a bank safety deposit box, a fire safe file cabinet gives you a way to protect those documents in case of a fire.

Baker’s style wine rack, under $100

That price really surprised me, because it’s gorgeous: decorative enough to go in the dining or living room, but would look great in a kitchen, too. It’s made of wood and metal, holds 10 glasses, 10 wine bottles, and has three shelves in addition to those, for storing whatever else you want. You could ...

Folding utility cart for groceries, luggage, anything

One of the most useful items I own is this folding utility cart. I originally bought it with groceries in mind: if you’re in walking distance of the store, you can use it to shop and carry your stuff right on home (and it holds a lot more than I first thought from looking at it). I drive to the store, but park some distance and more than a few ...

Wall-mounted ironing board for $145

Wall-mounted ironing boards can save you a lot of hassle, and some floor space. Even though ironing boards fold up out of the way when you’re not using them, finding a place to put them when you are using them can be a problem if you don’t have plenty of room.
