TUESDAY TIP: How to create space in a townhouse or apartment
Kate Shelby lives in a townhouse with her three children. She recently wrote a personal article about how she survives in a 3 bedroom townhouse with three children.
Kate says, “The best thing I have discovered is the washer/dryer stacking kit. This leaves more overhead room in the laundry if you need to use the sink or hang clothing up when it rains.” Here’s an example of the stacking kit.
Kate’s article is definitely worth a read if you live in an apartment or house where you’re struggling for space.
Kate Shelby is an Australian blogger, mother and lover of superheroes in tight pants.
