Extreme small-space storage solutions
File this under “Only in New York.” Via Twitter, I saw a link provided by Sharon Lowenheim, the Organizing Goddess, to a New York Post article about people who use their refrigerators and ovens to store clothing. Storage space is at such a premium in tiny NYC apartments and these people never cook, so this makes sense to them.
I wanted to share the article, since it made me shake my head in wonderment. It’s a great example of why I love Twitter is. You get to find tidbits like these that you might not find any other way.
If you’re not on Twitter, I encourage you to check it out. And if you do sign up, follow me!

I’m sure you’ve seen it all, Sharon, but somehow I take comfort in knowing this raised your eyebrows too!

Janine, thanks for the mention! I’m a lifelong New Yorker, and even I found the idea of using the kitchen appliances as storage to be pretty extreme!
