Many things in this world are adjustable. Actually, almost anything is adjustable, if you try hard enough (just don’t count on it staying in the same shape it was in previously, West Virginians). Adjustable is freedom; adjustable is flexibility. Adjustable is customizability. Adjustable is neat. But sometimes you can get carried away with adjustability. Take the human body. Adjustable? Sure, sometimes. If by adjustable you mean changing hair color, face lift, heart transplant, and such. But in the days of violent, godless antiquity, some folks decided to adjust human bodies, on racks. These adjustments were often painful, and often permanent. Oftentimes, if you didn’t give up the demonic, satanic spirit within your body, the adjustments would cancel out your ticket to earth. You would then have to adjust to the afterlife. Many times in life you must adjust to horrible, maddening situations. There’s no way around it: you have to eat what you’ve been served, no matter how hellish and mind-numbing. Life is cruel; life is a waking nightmare. Even when you’re in an inescapable situation, you can adjust. Subtle, minute adjustments — just to keep yourself sane. To keep yourself from doing something that would cause others to think you may be possessed by a demonic, satanic spirit. It’s all about adjustments. Other fine words in our collective vernacular bullseye the concept of adjustable. One of these words is “expand”. Now imagine if you could take the concept of expansion, and add it to a shelf? Then that shelf would become adjustable.

With this triumphant Spice Rack Expand-A-Shelf from Stacks And Stacks, you have the power to adjust the Spice Rack, without tying it to a medieval torture device and stretching. The Expand-A-Shelf is much easier than that. It allows you to find spices fast! The multi-tiered design of the awesome Expand-A-Shelf makes it easy to see and access spices, condiments, toiletries and other supplies that tend to get hidden behind larger items stored on shelves. If that doesn’t define awesome, then you may as well strike the adjustable definition as well, for as long as the Expand-A-Shelf can expand, it is not only adjustable, but awesome. It’s also useful for showcasing collectibles in display cabinets, if that’s what you’ve chosen to do with your life. This sturdy white plastic stair step system expands (smaller section slides out of larger section) to fit most shelving (cheers!), and helps keep your cabinets and cupboards organized. Best of all? It’s available in 2 and 3 tier versions. That’s adjustable, very adjustable.

Now that we’re in our seventh year here at Shelves Blog Dot Com, I thought it would be a good time to reveal some top secret, insider-only trade secrets. It’s a bit like a magician spoiling the secrets of his fellow magicians, but hey, everyone knows that magic is fake and phony; that 99 percent of what they say is falsehood; that it’s all smoke and mirrors just to get that ticket money right out of your hand. With shelves it’s a little different: top organizers in the field know the secrets developed ages ago by the MASTER ORGANIZERS. These secrets were concealed by the elite, passed down through the generations via dark cabals, known only to those indoctrinated in the ways of professional organizing. These secrets have never been made available to the public for one reason, and one reason only: subjugation. So prepare to rise up, fellow readers, against the tyranny of the Martha Stewarts of the world. This information will set you free:

START AT THE TOP. Often faux-professionals will begin their shelf cleaning in any manner they see fit, wasting valuable time and energy. This is wrong. Start from the top, work your way down. If you are dusting, use clockwise circular motions, and keep a fresh Swiffer nearby.

SHELVES DO NOT NEED TO BE DUSTED EVERY DAY. Wednesdays and Sundays are fine.

TO REMOVE A SHELF LINER WITH MINIMAL FUSS. Use WD-40.

CONTROL A SHELF, AS YOU WOULD TRAIN AN ANIMAL. Do not give it an inch. Items that are used everyday usually end up staying on shelves, and clutter them from one end to the other. Don’t allow this.

EXCESSIVE SHELVES SOMETIMES CREATE A DANGEROUS VORTEX. What about having ONE shelf above a sink to keep a shaver and accessories on? These types of shelves are handy, easy to reach, off of the countertop and can double as décor if done correctly. Too many shelves in one place at one time will promote clutter, laziness, and disharmony. Junk flocks to excess shelves like the Bermuda Triangle.

DO NOT THINK OUT OF THE BOX. THERE IS NO BOX. Soon you will see, it is not you holding the duster, staring at the shelf; it is only yourself. The shelf is a reflection. Take the “h” out of “shelf”. See what it is you find then.

HAVE FUN. People always forget to let sunshine into their lives… SMILE. When you finish the cleaning, there is always the promise of more cleaning to come.

I’m going to add one more bonus secret for you, while we’re on the subject of seven. The Sona Seven Shelf Shelving Unit from Stacks and Stacks:

This is a beautiful, dynamic piece, perfect for any room. Could it be a bathroom shelf? Of course, it’s perfect for towels and bathroom accessories! Use it in the living room for books? Sure can! It would even be an attractive alternative to a bakers rack in your kitchen. Each shelf easily holds up to twenty pounds, and the attractive contemporary design adds a modern twist to any decor. Constructed of metal and plastic resin, The Sona Four Seven Unit is sure to please!

That really makes EIGHT SECRETS, not seven. Oh well, it’s okay, because EIGHT is GREAT! And so on.
