Storage Tip: Use a CD Rack

Last fall over on Apartment Therapy Chicago we featured Laurie, Jacob and Matilda's house tour -- one that garnered much praise for the family's months of hard work, stylish and creative choices, and a smooth clutter-free integration of a new baby. Now Matilda is over one year old, but the family's use of a bright red Topdeq cd rack for storing shoes is still in effect. We imagine this piece will be put to good use for years to come (rolled up clothes, toys, hair accessories -- whatever fits, works).

  • THE storage cubbies

  • Matilda!

  • Mobile

  • Matilda's Bedroom

We clicked through over to Topdeq, and while this particular cd rack is nowhere to be found (probably an old model), any rack would work as long as you can find a way to mount it and the cubbies are contained (an open wire rack is not really going to do the trick).

So. Cute. Especially in a room that's crunched for storage.

Love this idea because I had one lying around the house and we were looking for storage ideas for our baby's room! :]
