Take it outside!
Here are storage solutions for your outdoor rooms:

- In a lounge area, employ a waterproof patio chest or marine storage trunk (available at marine supply stores) as a coffee table. Store items that need protection from the elements.
- Reserve the kitchen cabinet closest to the back door for outdoor tableware, serving platters, table linens, placemats, paper towels and candles. Stash a first aid kit here (with bug repellent, sunscreen, adhesive bandages, hydrogen peroxide). If cabinet space isn't available, put everything in a lightweight plastic storage bin and keep in a cabana, garage or sheltered area outside.
- Keep toys in lightweight totable bins; label them appropriately (balls, trucks, sand toys, pool toys). Designate a spot at or near ground level in the garage for all bins.
Hot, hot, hot
Whether custom built or store bought, barbecue. Include garbage, recycling and compost containers in the zone.
