From advice to events to products and services, at Military Spouse we are all about connecting you with the things you love. MilSpouse: Life is devoted to the products and services military spouses enjoy as a part of their everyday life.
We’ll take a behind the scenes look at some of the brands and products we love, plus explore how these things make our lives easier.
Here are 10 innovative products for your military housing that can take your white-walled “Home Is Where the Military Sends Us” to a whole new level:
1. EverBlock Apartment Divider Walls
You need a wall. You can make a WALL. Turn that crazy military housing layout into the layout you actually need. They’re expensive but, when you move, you TAKE THEM WITH you!
2. Sendero Metal Garden Beds
Love to plant a garden but tired of all of the $$$ to create it each time you move? Enter the garden that will move with you! Unlike their wood cousins, these metal garden beds can be sprayed out and moved to that next duty station for planting.
3. Farmhouse Paint
Skip painting the walls, and instead use your time to spice up furniture that has seen better days. It can be an inexpensive way to refresh the look of your home and add a pop of color!
4. Elfa Shelving
Create a desk in a CLOSET. Yes, we’d all love a place to get work done but often military housing doesn’t provide that spot. Time to turn that closet into a desk that is perfect for working from home or kids’ homework.
5. The Murphy bed
Maybe you remember it from old sitcoms, but this bed folds up to the wall and makes it the perfect solution for older kids who need to share a small room or for your mother-in-law who comes to visit (a lot). These versions are expensive, but you can even make your own! Making the Murphy bed, the perfect bed for military housing DIY enthusiasts.
6. Kitty Cot
Speaking of beds!!! Got a cat? Tired of having stuff taking up floor space. Move them up off of the floor, too! Kitty gets a nice place to sleep and you get some of your walking area back too!
7. Expandable Under Sink Storage
That unused space under the sink drives us all nuts, especially in a very tight bathroom. Enter the shelving that will help you use that space a little more efficiently AND keep your counters a clearer for more stuff.
8. Chasing Paper
While we often embrace painting, putting up wallpaper means we can peel it off and be done when it comes time to move. And those patterns! Cool kitchens – here we come!
9. Fleximounts
Garage space is tight. Sometimes it is so tight you can’t even fit your car into the garage. But, hey, you feel “lucky” to have a garage in military housing. So how do you get all of your stuff into the garage? Put it “up” over your car or the space where you hope to squeeze your car. Now you have a place to put all of those Christmas decorations you’ve collected for your past five duty stations.
10. Interlocking floor tiles by Flor
Love your house but not your flooring? Here is a way to spruce up a space AND be able to take it with you if you have to move. We love this Fully Barked version of this innovative floor solution.
