As soon as winter sets in, I get more annoyed with our small entry.  Recently, I shared my plan for minimizing clutter and maximize space, which included a set of storage ottomans.  Well, thanks to reader Erin, we picked up this set of ottomans over the weekend, completing one step of our plan.  

I tried ordering online, but the ottomans were sold out.  So, I called up our local Kohl’s and they had one left in stock.  I put it on hold and we picked it up the next day.  I searched for a printable coupon and found one for 20% off, taking $20.00 off the $99.99 price tag.  I had a $15.00 return credit, too.  I used my credit and got a set of three ottomans with a cover for only $65.00!  Wahoo!  The smaller cubes are not for storage, so they are in the basement, awaiting their fate.  So, I’m sure you’d like to see the new ottoman in place, right?  Here it is, in all it’s storage, space-saving glory.

Looking down at it.

Here’s the view from the front door.

What’s inside?  Check it out.

Some extra shoes, a large purse that doubles as a diaper bag, and an extra storage box.  We haven’t filled it to the full capacity, but that’s good.  Oh, for those extremely OCD observant readers, I still have to pull the staples out of the ribbon packaging.  That’s what the tan things are in the bottom outside and the insides…  Hopefully we’ll finish our storage in our closet and hang some hooks.  Until then, have you been working on organizing?  One of my resolutions is to get more organized, including repurposing, selling, donating or throwing away tons of stuff.
