WHEN IS A DOOR NOT A DOOR?

Question: When is a door not a door?
Answer: When it is a storage center.

It seems that, no matter how large the spaces we live in, there is never enough room to store everything we need to store. Someone must have been struggling with where to store their shoes one night and, while looking around every corner of the closet, noticed there was perfectly good unused space on the back of the door. Voila! The over-the-door shoe rack was born.

Now there are a variety of over-the door storage systems for myriad uses. Here are a few of our favorites that help maximize your space while keeping things tidy.

Check out http://www.whateverworks.com/ to find an over-the-door rack with a little fashion flair. It has four hooks topped with river pebbles. There is also a nice looking over-the-door shelf at this site.

At http://www.shopgetorganized.com/ you can find an over-the-door backpack rack that will hold up to four backpacks weighing three hundred pounds. If you want a place to organize your jewelry, an over-the-door armoire will give you a place to do that. You can even check how you look in the mirrored door on the armoire front. If you need the mirror but not the jewelry storage, an over-the-door tri-fold mirror is available. An over-the-door shoe rack at this site can be purchased in two sizes to hold twenty-four or thirty-six pairs of shoes.

Another style over-the-door shoe rack is available at http://www.harriettecarter.com/. This site also has a great over-the- door rack that has room to hang six coats or hats and a sturdy over-the-door shelf that could hold towels in a bathroom. Although it does not hang over the door, the back-of-the-door storage cage mounts on the door and has eight adjustable shelves that accommodate a variety of items.

There are also over-the-door systems for purses, ties, belts and scarves. So, when you are stumped for a place to organize your stuff, take a look at the doors. If they are going to hang around the house, they might as well do a little work.
