It's time for a serious yet ~minimal~ home makeover.
Promising review: "The shelves complement my living room perfectly. After ordering one initially, I ended up buying a second because it looks so good and was able to add decoration into corners of the living room that otherwise were too small to hang anything. I get so many compliments and I’m able to store all of my little trinkets and meaningful small things that are usually bound to get put away somewhere." —Sara

Promising review: "Not a very complicated product, you're thinking, right? And who needs a wooden-fingered stand that simply holds an upside-down plastic sack, right? And it costs 20 bucks. 'Hmmm,' you're thinking. You'd never spend 20 bucks when you could just dry your bags with a towel. Or throw them away once you've used them. But wait — this really is a good product and worth the money. Wash the bag, hang it on the wooden dryer, and you've just saved a plastic bag from a landfill for as many times as the bag holds up. This holder doesn't take up much space, it's nicely made, and it's low-tech. A very pleasant thing to have on your counter." —Deborah Gardner Conta

Promising review: "Whether you’re a college student or a professional that needs something for the office, this shredder doesn’t disappoint. I really like the cross-cut feature because it utilizes more bin space. This means that it’ll be able to hold more shreds of paper. It’s powerful and reliable, and I haven’t had any problems with it since. I use it quite often and have only had to empty it once (out of the four months I’ve had it for). Its compact size makes it perfect for storing in tight spaces." —HandsON

Promising review: "My family and I like this better than a fruit bowl . . . aside from the interesting display factor, it's also easier to see how much fruit you have left than having to peer into and/or root around in the fruit bowl." —The CB Hammer
Get it from Amazon for $18.58+ (available in two sizes).
Promising review: "This is the second set of POP containers that I've purchased. I bought the really big set a while ago...and was hooked. No longer will my white rice/grains/rolled oats/grits go wormy ( I know, 'yuck') and my cat's Kibble is stored in a clear container so I can see when it's running low. (FYI: the pet food container is not included in these sets, but is worth the additional purchase) I love these containers... they are lightweight enough so there's no strain on the wrists, yet heavy enough they don't tip over easily. The lids are easy to clean, and you could apply labels to distinguish between flours and sugars. They are expensive, but I believe you get what you pay for...Quality costs extra money." —Judith A Loue

Promising review: "I will never be a person that folds underwear. It's never going to happen. That photo that comes with this product? Not me. But a simple tool like this turned out to be what it takes just to know where things are. Left. Center. Middle. Any organizer made of cloth was out. I wanted something rigid but adjustable. If an organizer has soft sides, it's going to end up underneath the things it's supposed to be separating.
These fit firmly where I put them and there are no corners to snag clothing or hurt your hand on when you reach into the drawer. Well engineered product. I created three sections to my large top dresser drawer by adding the partitions front to back. I am so pleased with the difference that I am ordering two more sets so I can do my other drawers also.
These OXO dividers cost more than the flimsy ones, but if I wasn't able to buy these, I would just not buy organizers." —SeattleBookMama

Promising review: "Where have these been all my life? These are perfect. So happy to have my spices off the shelf, and up on the door where I can see them ALL (and they're even organized alphabetically). One tip: If you're putting labels on, turn the container so the 'sprinkle' lid is in the upper righthand corner. This will keep very fine spices (baking soda, for example) from leaking out when on the steel base." —Robyn

It's heat-resistant up to 400 degrees F and can be tossed in the dishwasher for easy cleaning.
Promising review: "It is incredibly versatile and a wonderful addition to our kitchen. So far I have used it for drying large items over the sink, filling a pot when the sink was already full, and as a counter trivet for a hot pan, and it performs beautifully in all these roles. The metal rods are strong and sturdy enough to hold heavy items, long enough to span our sink from multiple angles, and best of all, it rolls up for easy storage when not in use. All around a great kitchen tool, and I'll never be without one again." —T. Eicher

Promising review: "This is quite possibly the coolest, most versatile kitchen gadget I’ve ever owned. I love it so much that I’ve purchased two more for friends and relatives. What can it do? I think the real question is 'What can’t it do?' I truly believe you could replace every cooking appliance (including your oven and stove top) and do EVERYTHING in the Instant Pot. I purchased two sizes for my own use: the 3-quart (which is my almost-every-day workhorse for two person dishes) and the 8-quart (which I bring out to handle my dinner party dishes). Everything I’ve tried has been fabulous. In the realm of kitchen appliances, there is no better investment than the Instant Pot. Highly recommended!!!" —Stereoman

Promising review: "It’s a great fit in my small house! It’s lightweight and I was able to put it together by myself with the tool that was supplied. Fits lots of shoes and coats. I don’t have it mounted to the wall since we aren’t allowed to put holes in them, and it still holds up great!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "Excellent OXO quality in an adjustable measuring cup especially made for sticky items such as peanut butter, honey, yogurt and other gooey ingredients. I use this almost every day and will probably get another one as an extra to have on hand. It gets every bit of sticky ingredients out of the cup and it's dishwasher-safe. A must for any kitchen, especially for bakers." —E. Deland
Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (two-cup measurer).
Promising review: "Love this new garden! It's my fourth AeroGarden and they just keep getting better. This one has a very sleek design and takes up less space than I thought it would without sacrificing grow space or water capacity. Set up was a breeze with the display walking me through the steps. I love that on their larger gardens you can set the time on the garden, plus this one is wifi enabled so I can keep track of my garden's needs on my phone! My favorite new feature though is vacation mode, which will slow down the light and water use so I don't have to worry about my plants so much when I'm out of town. I can't wait for my plants to grow. I recommend it!!" —Ted

Promising review: "I purchased this to raise my monitor up to a better viewing angle, and to provide extra storage. I love the look of the bamboo, and the cut-outs provide a nice parking spot for my phone, pens, etc. It was nice to see that it holds a very heavy monitor (my computer is a Dell XPS 2720, which is an all-in-one computer). The space underneath is perfect for 'hiding' my wireless keyboard. Perfect for my needs!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I love this knife holder! Living in an RV full time we need every space-saving device we can get. This came promptly, was easy to attach, and holds knives, a spatula, tongs, peeler, and wine opener in sight and within easy reach. I recommend this product." —Rita D'Alvarez

Promising review: "I recently got this desk and have been using every day since. This desk from Nathan James. I like to draw a little when I get any time to myself. That doesn’t happen a lot with two kids and a busy schedule, but now I have the perfect spot for some mama time. This desk was so easy to put together and it’s so beautiful. I loveeee how much space there is to fit everything. Even the dog loves it. Very sturdy and big enough to hold so much." —Lyndsey Dickerson

Promising review: "Very good product. I live in a small apartment in New York. I was hoping to save space so my daughter can play, and I don't want my daughter to mess with my work documents. This cabinet helps me solve these problems. When I don't use it, I can fold it up and it won't take up space. When I want to work at night, it can quickly become a desk. It's very convenient." —Jason
