THE FUSE

I don’t have a hall closet in my 800-square-foot home, so when friends come over and want to take their jackets off, the easiest solution used to be just creating a pile on my bed. I also lack a dedicated spot to put outfits I’ve picked out for the coming day, so I originally tossed them on the back of a desk chair. Both of these solutions are fine, but they’re not exactly strategic — at least in the sense of considering a more thoughtful fix.
