Yesterday we were in Target looking for shelves for my office closet. The better-half went over to the furniture and shelving area and I went over to the table linen area. I came up with bupkis (why are there no square tablecloths?) and found the better-half. He had located some wooden shelves that weren’t exactly “it” and some wire shelves. I had the briefest of meltdowns in Target. We have metal wire shelves in our bathroom closet and they are for shit when it comes to holding any small bottles–like a bathroom closet might hold. The remarkable thing was the better-half said OK I have a plan. And we went home without spending a cent at Target. As I pushed the cart back to the front of the store, I told the better-half I had never left Target without spending money.
We got home and worked on some other projects and then around 6pm we went to Home Depot (the perfect time to get around the store–everyone else is at CRACK-er Barrel) and bought some supplies to fix the wire closet problem and to build shelves for my office closet. I’m happy to say that I’m pleased with both solutions. The brilliant solution for the bathroom closet was to buy peg board, cut it to size and lay it on top of the two wire shelves. Brilliant! Air can pass thorough but stuff doesn’t fall over.
I now have 5 2-foot wide shelves in my office closet. You know what that means? Organization and some of the crap spread hither and yon can finally be put away. I told the better-half that the weekend was a success partly because he heard my woe and he came up with a quick and clever solution. The man rocks.
