Junk in Your Trunk

barbies get organized!

Some things are getting harder to conceal: Swiss bank accounts, the bags under your eyes, and the gear filling up your pad.

To manage the junk in your toy trunk, check out organizational expert Suellen Germani’s picks for affordable essentials that two-time as toy tamers.

Over the Door Shoe Holders
These perfect pockets store stuffed animals, dolls, and toys within rug rat reach so your tot can help tidy up.

Under-Bed Storage
When making the leap to a big-boy bed, choose one with under-bed drawers or retrofit an existing bed with rolling, flat, storage boxes to stash extra bedding, games, or clothes.

Garment Boxes
Manage your mini-Monet’s artwork by storing it in archival garment boxes throughout the year. At the holidays, have her select favorites to send to relatives.

Friends will think you have a hidden talent.
