Emptied out all the useless kitchen\dining room things out of my hutch and bought baskets that will slide in to the bottom and organizers for the drawers. Now, my youngest 3 can store all of their individual school books in there...right next to where we do the majority of our school! I also have enough room to put pens, pencils, tape, glue, markers, scissors, math games...I don't know why I didn't do this years ago!!
