Heavy stuff nearer floor = good

Posted on October 27th, 2006 by Sacha Chua

I can’t believe I hadn’t thought of this earlier. The perfect place
for my heavy suitcases is, of course, *on the floor* instead of on the
top shelf. Granted, the suitcases very neatly fit on the top shelf and
that’s the best way to keep them out of the way, but it was just such
a mission (and a hazard!) getting them up there in the first place.
The sweater organizers I use to keep matching clothes together easily
squish up to accommodate the suitcases under them.

Slowly figuring out how to organize my stuff.
