Hello Friends!
I'm so excited to share this video with you. For a while now I have been thinking of ideas for easy and inexpensive overhead storage, particularly over the bed area. I didn't want to put wooden cabinets in at this stage and I wanted something that was lightweight, easy to install and, most importantly, inexpensive. The pet carrier idea I got from a Promaster Facebook group I belong to but the second one I came up with myself. I didn't expect to keep them both but....well you'll see when you watch the video.
Aomola Car Trunk & Back Seat Organizer for SUV $22.99 CAD: amzn.to/3YIE9C3
Small Cat/Dog Soft-Sided Pet Travel Carrier $39.99 CAD: amzn.to/3WN8n4
I hope you like it and as always, please subscribe if you haven't already and check out my Instagram: @myBIGtinyhouselife.
And most importantly remember, in a world where you can be anything, be kind.
I love you guys,
Adelina

I lLOVE your concept of thinking outside the box for the inside of your van. The van will be a LOT lighter than most because you don't have all that wood in there. You have come up with some really great ideas, and I am sure there are a lot of people who are going to put these ideas to good use.

Loved the storage idea. I thought that was a perfect solution to meet your needs. especially liked the pet carrier, because they be multi-purposeful, sturdy, and clean. While you were installing them I was thinking the pet carrier would be great to put a first aid kit and be easy access over your couch/chair. Thank you for the ideas. I really enjoy your videos over the years and have learned so much about Tiny living and I now know I want to go in that direction myself. Thank you thank you Adalina!

I really like the arrangement you ended up with. The pet carriers over the couch look great and actually brighten up the space a bit, and the car organizer over the bed is a perfect fit.

I'm surprised that the auto seat organizer doesn't go all baggy when it's filled up. Interesting. I think I would put an extra attachment in the middle, though, for added security. The advantage of the pet carrier is the mesh so that your clothes can breathe. (Maybe prevent mustiness?)
@myBIGtinyhouselife
@myBIGtinyhouselife 2 года назад
Yes a anchor in the middle might be a good idea m. I’ll see if I need it. The top flap will let in air so I don’t think mustiness will be a problem. But I’ll report back at the end of the summer 😁

Both are great ideas! Inexpensive and very useful! The disadvantage of the pet carrier for clothes would be having to rummage through the single storage to find the article you want. The car storage is better for clothes IMO. The pet carriers for other things as you say cooking supplies or toilet paper etc.
