The Backstory

For 9-year-old June and 5-year-old Molly, their bedroom was more than just a place to sleep: It was where they played games, made artwork, got dressed, and did homework.

Enter the Real Simple organizers, who restored order with the help of smart storage systems, distinct activity zones, and some judicious pruning. (The family donated half of the unused contents of the room to a local charity.)
