As carefree summer gives way to fall, and the kids transition from all-day play to schoolwork squared, one thing is for sure: The house is a wreck! You’ve barely had a chance to put away the swimsuits, sandals, and pool toys when suddenly you’re knee-deep in books, lunch boxes, and sports gear. It looks like getting organized is your first assignment of the new school year. Luckily, our Ethan Allen | Disney collection has you covered! From cubbies and craft tables to desktop caddies, we offer dozens of ways to restore order to your home—just in time to prep for the holidays.

START WITH THE FAMILY HUB.  It’s the core, the center, the true heart of the home. It’s where the family gabs, works, plays, reads, snacks, naps, and gathers for movie night. Our hub comes equipped with its own organizing tools. The Editor’s modular system neatly wraps around the Meeting Place sectional, so space planning is a cinch. Float them in a room for easy access from all sides.  Choose the modular pieces that best suit your needs. The system includes single, double, and triple bases, cubbies, corner units, a versatile tower, and even a desk for that pesky homework. It can be configured for any organizing challenge, especially when you add tabletop jars, caddies, and our Fantastic Felt baskets designed to hide toys, games, pillows, throws, and even clothes in a pinch. That’s why we call them fantastic (wink).

CREATE A NO-MESS MUDROOM. It’s a fun and functional storage solution of epic proportions—and we designed it just for you. In black and white with accents of bold yellow and bright red, our Mickey Mouse Colorblocked cubbies do more than hold jackets, hats, backpacks, gym bags, and boots. This piece cheers up any entryway in a flash.

HIDE TOYS IN PLAIN SIGHT. The Cormac rolling storage cabinet is your go-to storage solution when it’s time to put away all those toy cars, crayons, action figures, dolls, card games, collectibles, and whatnot. It’s one of two versatile, locker-inspired pieces we offer in patriotic, powdercoated hues of red, white, and blue.

ADD ONE SMART DESK. There’s no getting around homework, so why not do it in style? The Animator’s desk features three drawers and three cubbies for filing stuff, a corkboard back for pinning notes and photos, and a roomy hutch with a charging station. Available in Snow and Mouse Grey, we give it an A+ in both functionality and stylish good looks.
