What is it about spring that makes us want to clean up our spaces? TBH, it never made sense to me considering spring is the time that I finally come out of the winter nest I’d made of my apartment into the sunshine on the first day it hits 60 degrees. If I’m not *actually* spending much time inside, then why bother cleaning my apartment? But for whatever reason, April rolls around and I become a type-A clean freak—AKA shoving sh*t into the bottomless pit that is my closet. Some might called a serial killer trait, I call it organized chaos.
This year, though, I promised myself I would actually tidy up. And by that I mean find places besides my closet that can hold my junk. (Baby steps!) What can I say? I’m entering my responsible adult era. And because I know you’re thinking to yourself, “maybe I should do that too,” I’m going to be oh-so-generous and share the goods. Now let’s stop wasting precious cleaning time and get into it.

Foldable Under-The-Bed Bags So You Can Stop Using Your Oven As Storage
The only place that’s scarier than my closet after a spring cleaning session is under my bed. It’s really been a catch-all for the stuff I’m either too lazy to throw away or don’t have a place to put (I’m looking at you, old shoe boxes and extra sets of sheets). These storage bins have forced me to stop hoarding old cardboard boxes and have given me a place to keep my sweaters that isn’t inside the oven.

A Shoe Storage Cabinet That Makes You Feel Like Carrie Bradshaw
I’ve spent more time than I’d like to admit trying to find a matching pair of shoes.

Not only can I organize my shoes with this, but I can actually see what I already own instead of accidentally buying four very similar pairs of tan booties (not that I know from experience).
