I’m a powerful business executive, so I know just how important it is to look my best. My clothing needs to be wrinkle free and immaculate. Keeping business attire in incredible shape can sometimes try your patience, and organizing these clothes can be cumbersome. It doesn’t have to be that way.

I have a suggestion for those working in the business sector, with a closet full of business attire: consider a fine mens valet. They are functional, stylish, and best of all, they make the day to day process of preparing fro your day at the office all the more simple.  You can hang suits, belts, pants, trousers, socks, almost every facet of your business attire from a valet.  They remain organized, free of wrinkles, and ready for you when you need them.

I purchased a fine model online from a dependable online retailer, Stacks and Stacks, but you can fine a mens valet almost anywhere. The model I chose features dependability, and a classic look. It handily fits into my closet, and every night I can set out my items to wear for the next morning.  It really helps speed me along to that first meeting, knowing I look my best, and didn’t need to waste time selecting clothing for the day.

What is a nice side benefit to a well designed and fully-functional valet is a seat.  yes, having a seat whilst placing shoes upon your feet is a real comfort.  You may also find it convenient to place you wallet, jewelry, or other personal items into the myriad shelves or holding areas of the valet.

As a top executive, I needed to find a dependable valet for my clothing. I discovered a perfect model online, and utilized the valet to make my clothing storage and organization easier.

You can too.

That’s right, people, we are at a full force AHTRA!! Remember this post from a while back, Displaying your Tie Collection in Style? It featured a picture of a homemade tie shelving system. Well, faithful Tie Racks Blog follower Neuron84 was so inspired by this tie storage system, they decided to make their own (sorry for the improper grammar, but I’m not sure if Neuron84 is a gal or a guy, and I don’t want to offend). Anyway, Neuron84 posted a picture of the rack s/he built in the comments, but I wanted to make sure that all of you saw it, because it looks awesome!

I am seriously impressed! Not only is there ample storage for ties (and, sweet collection of neckware by the way) but the extra spaces can be used for watches, cufflinks, cologne and more! Neuron84 - I tip my hat to you! Let’s see what the audience thinks:

Well, I think they approve!

If you’re not as crafty and handy as Neuron84, there are other options for finding a great tie rack. But if you are - let me know about your tie rack creations! I’d love the chance to share them!

Any new tie racks in your life? Let me know in the comments!

So, my coworker gave me this great idea of multi-purpose use for tie racks. Once I started looking, there were lots of products for kitchen organization that would be great for tie racks oddly enough.

The winner of the most unpredictable kitchen storage item as a tie rack is the under the cabinet cup holder!

Now, I know you don’t hang your ties in the kitchen but if you are anything like my dad and brothers, you will use anything from the kitchen if it works. My dad has used my mom’s liquid funnels and hand mixer and beaters all for a cement project. For some reason, kitchen products just seem to work well.

I think this cup holder will be a great tie rack hanging from a closet shelf. You can’t buy a tie rack for as cheap as this cup holder is. There are 5 hooks on each side, allowing you to hold an ample amount of ties, scarves or belts.

So, keep in mind that you may have household items around the house that could work perfect for something else. If you have any other multi-purpose alerts let me know and we’ll post them up for others to take advantage of!

If you take pride in your tie collection, need of a tie rack to display your ties instead of hiding them away in the closet. Read the rest of this entry »
