A Family Closet Pictorial

Mary/Sixducksinarow has been a longtime member of Lotsofkids.com, having helped on staff, as well as contributing to several past articles. Faced with the laundry dilemma, she converted one of the rooms in her house into a full-fleged family closet. It is simply amazing, and shows how a bit of time and energy can have a bit payoff in convenience and time-savings.

Below are several pictures of the closet, including concise descriptions of the different areas of the room. When viewing the pictures, keep in mind that each dresser or tower of crates holds one category (such as pants). The youngest child uses the bottom drawer or crate, working upward to the oldest child or adult using the top. Family members share drawers or crates when possible.

If you have any questions about the closet, please visit our "Q&A" forum to talk to Mary about it there.

Where did you get that many milk crates? What is the cost of the milk crates?

Heather, the milk crates are just in $25 bookshelves from Walmart. They fit milk crates perfectly.

Thank you for sharing the photos - wow!

To the previous poster - I think the milk crates are just in bookshelves. Very clever.

LOVE this!!! What holds the tower of milk crate bins though so that they are easily accessible as drawers?

Wow. Gorgeous and useful! While this is not something we can do in our current home, I think I've seen a vision for the future...
