Storage Solutions

Those of you who've been reading for some time will know that my boyfriend and I share a small one bedroom apartment in a lovely area of Manchester. I like the interior of our flat and the location is pretty awesome but we have the neighbours from hell and a distinct lack of storage. I literally happy danced when my bathroom cabinet was installed. After consistently tripping over 'stuff' for weeks on end I'm yearning for another storage heaven 'high'. I can't think of a way to make it happen here so we actually looked at a proper house today (see my 30 Before 30 - that's on the list!). I daren't say anymore just yet as I couldn't bear to jinx it. I'm in la-la land just now, dreaming about storage, storage and more storage...

  6. Nice selection of storage examples there. I really like the bookshelf one with a yellow background, it's such a simple idea but it almost makes the bookcase an art feature. It's going to be a long time till I get my own house but thank you for the inspiration :) xxx

  21. My fiancé and I lived in a poky little flat for 2 years and there clothes and mess everywhere because there was NO WHERE for storage! It's so lovely to move to a house with space! We were giggling like children when we bought our house and it had 4 huge wardrobes as well as plenty of space for chest of drawers. No more mess! Hope everything goes to plan with your house hunting. xxx

  22. Me and my hubby live in a little one bedroom place too, good storage for me is essential! Love those images, I still need a bigger place though!

  23. I'm the same- one bedroom flat with my boyfriend (in London though not Manchester). Rental prices here are ridiculous. I saw your 'storage solutions' on pinterest and they all look great. Even though where we live now is too small I always have to remember it's better than when we first lived together in a tiny little room in Venezuela!! Although that only cost us $50 a month! ha! happy house hunting! xx

  26. Those first few images of the turquoise room are to die for - so gorgeous! It's my dream to have a tidy, organised room like that.. but alas I am far, far too messy and a bit of a hoarder. There is no way I could keep up a tidy room like that unfortunately haha.

  32. I need something along the lines of pictures 6 and 8!

    I know in reality I need to have a massive clear out - I'm just a total hoarder and can't bear to part with anything!!

    Possibly moving back in with my parents soon to save some cash so will be downsizing big time :(

    Hope you find your dream pad :) x
