Ziploc Vacuum Bags

I recently moved into my first apartment. As I explained in my previous blog about the IKEA closet organizer, my apartment is small, only 800 sq feet so I had to become strategic with my storage. I've been hearing a lot  about these Ziploc Vacuum Bags so I decided to give it a try..

So I recently moved into my own place and it's small, I mean tiny LOL I don't know how they managed to fit two bedrooms and two baths into 800 square feet but somehow they did. Regardless of size it is an accomplishment and I am proud of myself. If you continue to follow my blog you'll learn that I'm a shopaholic or was LOL I've had to tone it down this past year because with a new apartment comes new responsibilities like RENT and buying furniture etc + you know that 800 square feet didn't come with a walk-in closet!

I had to learn how to squeeze all of my items in this small space, granted I was in one bedroom before with all the same things, it was a bedroom in a house with a garage where I could hide things. I wanted my second room to be a guest room in my new apartment and these rooms are much smaller than the one I was coming from so I had to improvise. One thing that really helped me was this closet organizer. Purchased my closet organizer from one of my favorite stores IKEA for only $6.99.
