Do you know about Sliders? Ooooh, girl you are going to love me for this one. Doing a bit of fall freshening-up are we? Moving things around some? Making room for that new end table? Just like it says on the package, Sliders, excuse me Magic Sliders, SLIDE EVERYTHING AS IF IT HAD WHEELS. It is the truth. Sliders may be the reason I stayed single so long–they’re as good as two men. They can’t kiss, though, is what I noticed.

Unobtrusive peel-and-stick or nail-on silicone discs, they adorn the legs of just about everything in my study at Bee Cottage, which was one of the world’s most difficult rooms to arrange. I mean I did some serious sliding in there.

The room measures about 14 x 14, with one of the corners cut off and one of the walls angled in at the roofline, oh, and a radiator. Try as I might to work it out on paper first, I couldn’t seem to get it. I just had to get in there and push the stuff around–a lot of it–daybed, dresser, wing chair, slipper chair, table/desk, and two desk chairs.

You could even put small sliders on desk items like lamps or telephones that are handy to re-position on occasion. Same for counter-top kitchen appliances.

Oh and yes, Magic Sliders are SEEN ON TV. And of course there is a Magic Slider website, which is actually very good and from which you can order. There are a range of types and sizes. Even for refrigerators.

In case you missed…
