The Locker Room

Tall lockers are great for sports of all sorts

So hopefully everyone is getting into their fresh, fall routine: maybe a new school, job or exercise regimen has you feeling energized and ready to tackle the projects you have been putting off all summer! Whether you are trying to get the mud room in order before the cold weather descends on us- (yuck) or trying to create an art/craft area for your "creative" toddler (p.s.- let them paint at school!) Lockers are the newest catchalls at home for your kids' mountain of stuff. Sports equipment, clothes, papers, shoes you name it- these fun and colorful containers, at child size, will inspire self-sufficiency and maybe a faster exit time out of the house. This month in Martha Stewart's Living, she displays 3 types of locker storage; tall ones for sports are great for the garage while the smaller units can be tucked into tight corners near an entryway. School locker rooms do not stir up such pleasant memories for most- a musty order and slamming, metal doors ring in my ears, but these storage lockers will erase any bad flashbacks of gym class.

These smaller units are perfect for gloves, hats and craft stuff.
