What is a "Hack" you ask?
Well, it's defined as a clever, ingenious or out-of-the-ordinary way of solving a problem in your life. Thinking "out of the box" if you will, that simplifies your life.
I've come up with solutions that I like to call Domestic Hacks.
Though my kitchen is of a decent size, it lacks enough storage. There are 5 doors or doorways into/out of my kitchen, taking up precious wall space where cabinets should/could be. Plus one whole wall is a half wall with a heating unit smack dab in the center of it, so no room to put any kind of storage unit/shelf/cabinet there either. I do have a dining room hutch/cabinet combo but the cabinet part holds serving dishes, china and silverware. There is no free space left in that piece of furniture either.
My problem is where to put my many kitchen table tablecloths when they are not in use. I have a collection of seasonal tablecloths I like to cover my glass topped kitchen table with. If you have ever viewed one of my shopping trip post photos, you've seen at least one of the cloths in question here.
But I have no place to store the cloths not in use at the moment. Even folded up flat, they do take up precious room I can't spare.
So I store the tablecloths not being used at the moment ON the table!
I currently have 5 layers of tablecloth on my kitchen table.....
Since it's Spring, the flowered cloth is visible on top.
But lurking underneath are 3 Winter themed cloths that are not specifically Christmas and 1 Fall cloth. I just rotate them to the top of the stack depending on the season.
Easy solution, right?lol
I saved some storage space, expended little energy, saved time getting cloths in and out of their storage place and I didn't have to spend any money to solve my problem.
Just one of my many "Domestic Hacks".
Do you have any Hacks you have come up with?
