Winter-Wear Organizer

Martha Stewart Living, January 2002

 Avoid mismatched gloves and misplaced scarves by keeping each family member's cold-weather gear in a wire gym basket. Label the baskets, and attach them to two wooden rails (60-inch lengths of 1-by-4 lumber); use 1 1/2-inch round screw hooks at equal intervals down the center of each rail. A 1 1/2-inch screw eye in the end of each rail allows the basket rack to be suspended from 2-inch round screw hooks that have been screwed about 13 inches apart in the bottom of a coat rack. The rails are painted the same color as the coatrack.

    you can also use cute over the door diaper organizers, just label each "diaper" section with a family member's name, and hang it over the front hall closet. Mine is on the inside, is mint green and indispensable!

    I love this!!!! I already have the coat rack with no closet near it and we have been looking for something to do for a while!!!!! I can even see attaching a larger basket at the bottom for shoes to keep them off the floor!
