I've mentioned before that our new house lacks a linen closet. One of the first things I did when we moved here was find a place for all of the miscellaneous things once stored in the rather massive closet in our former apartment. I purchased an over-the-door shoe bag organizer from Wal-Mart for about ten dollars. I hung it on the back of the utility closet under the stairs. I was super impressed by how many things I fit in this thing.
Across the hall from this door is a little powder room. I managed to put extra hand towels for that bathroom in the organizer. I also got quite a few cleaning products in those slots. Notice I put them up high and out of the reach of my two year old. Since taking this picture I've added Fabreeze and Magic Erasers to the list of things that can fit in these pouches.
This door opens like so, revealing my secret storage. And when I shut the door. . .
It disappears and is conveniently out of sight.
Because there are chemicals hanging on the back of this door, as well as the furnace and water heater in this closet, I've taken the added precaution of putting a lock on the knobs just in case that two year old gets curious.
LOVE IT! Man, that's so creative. I would do that in any house because let's just be honest. No matter how many closets you have they will eventually be packed to the brim.
