I packed up, drove home, and thought I was done. Then that evening the doubt crept in — open shelves look good in a photo and make it easy to put things away (sort of), but this is a grandma’s closet shared by twelve grandkids and her own coats and boots. The items on the shelves wouldn’t survive a dozen sets of little hands. The fix wasn’t prettier — just another row of bins to help contain the smaller toys. Real organizing isn’t the after-photo; it’s whether it works for real life.
