Sarah Eddins faces a common dilemma: she has children coming and going all day long, dumping their book bags, shoes, toys and coats in the front foyer each time the door opens and closes. A closet under the stairs could be a good solution, but it's awkward access makes it more of a hindrance than a help. The Wasted Spaces plan is to bust through the closet wall and build a storage bench and pull-out bin that will help Sarah keep her kids' things organized and provide a place for the kids to park themselves out of the way while putting on shoes and coats.
