My mom and dad have been on a mission this year to redo our kitchen (they’ve been saving their pennies for years and years), so in order to move ahead with operation new kitchen we’ve recently had to do a little re-organizing around the house. One of the first areas to tackle has apparently been my stuff!

I have a few designated areas around my house where most of my gear (coats, harnesses, collars, leashes, etc) collect, one of them being this little nook in the dining room.

As well as this closet in the kitchen which holds a lot of my gear as well as dog food, treats, and other stuff.

As you can see my little closet has become quite cluttered! Mom told me that I would need to clean it out completely as well, because it was going to become the new home for our pantry (once it’s gutted, painted, and redone). Of course I was very concerned about where all my stuff (especially the cookies) were going to end up!

Mom said not to worry, she had a plan, and off she went to Target to pick me up this handy organizing shelf on sale for $40.

She then relocated my treats and dog food to a cabinet in the kitchen and I was left with the task of re-organizing all the rest of my gear!

The end result was this super pretty (and super organized) pet-friendly storage to house all of my gear just inside the backdoor of my house.

With a little help from my mom I sorted everything so it’s much easier to find!

With the bulk of the storage housing my coats, fleeces and jackets (one can never have too many articles of clothing), I’m quite pleased with how it turned out.

So what do you think of my new pet friendly storage? How do you organize all of your dog’s gear around the house?
