There are people who don't hold onto things, who donate clothing right when it goes out of style, and who refrain from holding onto precious memorabilia. I am not one of those people. I have always struggled parting with clothing, books, old toys, shoes, ticket stubs, seashells, even fortune cookie fortunes. My (clutter-phobe) father has difficulty understanding this compulsion of mine; he loves uncluttered counter tops and minimalistic rooms. And after a few years of living/studying/eating in cramped college quarters, I too am beginning to understand the beauty of minimalism. All of my "stuff" made my already small room almost unbearable. Cutting back on this excessive behavior is definitely a work in progress, but I recently came across some items in the Hive that made both the hoarder and the minimalist in me smile. Storage solutions that let you hold on - without worrying about cramping your space! These modern solutions are either hidden or camouflaged, and they all promote a clutter-free existence. So check out my SLIDESHOW for five awesomely inventive sneaky storage solutions!
