Attic Before
*This is an awesome giveaway, so make sure to read to the very end of the post to enter!! *
I was so excited to share this video with all of you. I am a self-proclaimed organizing freak, yet my attic was always really disorganized. (Inside the bins was amazing, though, if I do say so myself). But when you think about it, standard attic storage is destined to fail. By stacking bins, inevitably you have to get to the bottom one, causing the others to topple over. So you end up stacking and re-stacking to try to get it right again. Or just shifting things around so it is a sea of disorganized bins that you struggle to step over. And entering the crawl space is always a nightmare. It would be even more of a nightmare if you find what you think could be mold developing in a moist area within the crawl space. It’s better to safe than sorry, call in a licensed mold inspector to do some mold testing in Austin Texas or somewhere more local to you.
When AtticMaxx wanted to share their system with you, I jumped on it. They sent me a system and they are giving one away to you (but other than that, I am not being paid to give a favorable review. All opinions are my own).
The system, with a quick install using the already existing trusses in our attic, transformed our space into this (please excuse our dirty plywood…this is an attic after all!). There are so many benefits from organizing your attic. Not only do you know where everything is when you need it, your house also benefits! If your belongings are all over the place then you won’t be able to see any issues that your attic may have. Damp and roof damage can go unnoticed because the affected areas are covered by clutter so you won’t know that you need the WDR Roofing Company or a plumber to fix the damage.
Yup, we can basically have a dance party in our attic. Strike that. We actually HAD a dance party in our attic!
Here are the keys to the system, how to install, and why it works so well:
There are two versions of AtticMaxx. The first is the system installed in my attic, it comes with an 8 unit system and retails for $169.95. It might seem like a lot at first glance, but when you think about how other heavy-duty storage shelves
Also, if that’s still out of your budget (y’all it’s doitonaDIME over here!) there is a DIY option for those on a budget that retails for $49.95. You buy the plywood yourself and use the patented straps and screws they send to create the same system. The best of both worlds.

My husband and I were just wondering how to organize our attic and this system is perfect for us. What an awesome solution for a problem in most attics.
I love your enthusiasm and passion! Thank you for sharing. You have definitely inspired me to organize some spaces in my house. The attic is one space I had started and given up on, but with this video I am ready to tackle it again! P.S. Dollar Tree and Goodwill are two of my favorite places, also!

Would love to win this. Thanks for awesome videos.
Super Idea! Would love one…
This is the most ingenious system I’ve seen for organizing an attic! I am sure my husband would stop complaining each time about having to search for something in the attic if we had this great system up there!
this is the perfect time to get organize with all the snow outside what a better time to get some spring cleaning and get extra space at the attic
Great way to get added storage space since sharing our home now with in-laws married 50+ years. Thanks for info. Enjoying your videos!
Winning one of this system would help organize my children’s space so well seeing their room is in the attic space of our home. It was an addition to the already small home so space is a must
I love your videos, I am really inspired to start organizing. Thank you and God bless you.
What an awesome product. My attic is a mess, this would work beautifully.

I love your amazing videos/and organization ideas. I would love to enter the sweepstakes. I have two boys and we have so many bins of clothes that are just stacked up in our attic that it makes it difficult to move around. We are now making up bins of their baby items such as, 1st outfit, 1st favorite toys/ books etc, and this would help to keep everything neat.
What a clever but simple organizing product. Thanks for sharing.
What a great idea! Love this!
I want to have a dance party in my attic . My husband just replace the ceilings upstairs because of too much stuff up there. We have been purging and this system would organize the attic space so nice . Would love it . Thanks for my entry.
I saw this system online earlier last month and knew I had to have one. Thank you for this chance to win a system. Good Luck everyone!
LOVE this system! Plan on reorganizing the storage rooms this spring, this would be perfect!
Awesome! Happy organizing, Amy!
I had never seen this before, but I have been looking for a more effective and accessible form of storage for our 2 attics and this is it! I just called my husband to the computer to show him and he loved it too! This could be a great Spring Cleaning project!
Its like you read my mind! You seem to know so much about this, like you wrote the book in it or something.
I think that you can do with some pics to drive the
message home a little bit, but instead of that, this is
great blog. An excellent read. I’ll definitely be back.
