When I lived in Chicago with my parents, I had to share a bedroom with my sister. We both had our own wardrobe and our own collection of shoes, not to mention all of the other piles of books and keepsakes that we had to find somewhere to store. It was my sister’s idea to go and find some bedroom closet organizers and some containers that would fit under our beds for other things. I thought it was a brilliant idea, and told her we should also buy a bookshelf to share and keep all of our books on it. Our room was definitely big enough to fit a nice tall bookshelf. We were both very excited about the idea. We went shopping and looked at some things that we could store our shoes in, and then we looked into buying containers to store our other personal knick-knacks. She thought we should just buy some plastic bins and store our things on the top shelf in those, but I absolutely did not want them. I figured if we’re going to do it, we may as well drop a few extra bucks and get some nice quality containers that weren’t see-through. They would ultimately make the closet look more organized in my opinion. So in the end, we both got our own organizers as we had planned to; she got the plastic ones and I spent extra money on these beautiful wooden storage cases.
