Here is what I did last winter: We have a cute little bench close to our front door with three of those cubby drawers underneath. I kept our hats, scarves, and gloves in there. I thought they'll have their own place, it's close to the coat closet, and it's in the cute little drawers. That was a great idea... or so I thought. It ended up being a cluster. I didn't have the cubby drawers labeled or any assurance things would be put back where they taken from. Mike and I would randomly pull out a drawer and put warm things in them without paying much attention. This led to extra time being spent looking for our stuff every time we left the house. Pull out one cubby, dig through it, nope not in that one. Pull out another cubby, look through it, nope not in that one either. Very frustrating!!
So this winter I'm going to try a new idea. I am going to use a hanging shoe cubby inside of our entry way closet to store the winter wear in. Benefits:
- Takes up little space in the closet as it hangs vertical.
- Each cubby is clear so we can easily find what we need.
- Saves time when bundling up.
- Frees up my cubby space that is in my bench for something else.
