After: Fully Loaded Caddy
A rolling cabinet gives Margaret’s kitchen drawers some relief by corralling utility objects, like scissors and hardware. The top is a convenient spot for the iron and a first-aid kit. On wheels, it can be pulled out if needed.
To buy: Mechanic’s utility cart, $120, sears.com. Three-step ultra-light step stool, $70, polder.com.

After: Dreamy Drop Zone

Tricked-Out Twin Storage
Ben and Devon LePore, 10-year-old twins from Chatham, New Jersey, barely used their closets (they don’t have a lot of hanging clothes), so the spaces were cluttered with random family items. The challenge: Reclaim these storage spots for the boys, and set them up to handle kid chaos.
Before: Filled With Forgotten Items
Mom’s mementos, like the Kelly green dress Megan wore as prom queen, had taken over the left-hand closet. The right-hand space was littered with baseball cards, outgrown clothes, and old shopping bags.

After: Separation of Shirts and Skates
The boys’ clothes live in the left-hand closet—shirts on hangers, pants in lockers (to save precious rod space). The closet on the right holds books, their extensive (and now organized) baseball-card collection, and sports equipment. Orange paint freshens up the room and, with the royal blue of the lockers, pays tribute to the boys’ favorite basketball team (go Knicks!). Hangers are color-coded: blue for Devon, orange for Ben. The upper cubby, previously a no-fly zone, is fitted with boxes for winter hats and holds figurines that aren’t current favorites.
To buy (from top): Medium-size solid canvas blue bins (in cubby), $25 each, pbteen.com. Spring Collection Semikolon document box in sun yellow (in cubby), $25, containerstore.com. Primary Tubular hangers, 32 cents each, containerstore.com. Kids’ storage lockers, $93 each, stacksandstacks.com. Industrial mesh wall-mounted basket (inside left-hand closet door): Unfortunately, this item is no longer available.
