Ask Thom: Where to Find Canine-Proof Storage?

Thom Filicia

I live in a home that was built in 1945, and the closets are minuscule. Any suggestions for stylish storage solutions? Please don't say baskets as I have a dog (a Jack Russell terrierist) who's a jumper (shelving units, forget about it) and adores chewing things like that. Thanks!

Love Jack Russell terriers. My dog is a terrierist as well! Closet systems are the best way to get the most out of any closet—large or small. In addition to having a very well-thought-out, organized closet system, I recommend a tall chest of drawers. It would ideally have a cabinet on the top for extra closet-type storage.

    2. Hi Tom, Love your show.I'm living in South Africa. I have two children and place is crowded. My parents helped us with a place. They divided their house in two. We've transformed the double garage into childrens bedrooms and my old room is now me and my husband's new master bedroom. Very very small. I would like you to help me decorate this small bedroom. My children is still sleeping in our room but I feel that it is time for them to move out. Is their any way possible for you to be helping me out. Online off course. (don't expect you to come all the way to south africa) I've been looking at other pics and stuff but just cant seem to fine a style.Please Help!!!

    4. Thom,Thanks so much for the ideas for my closets. I'm thinking the chest of drawers is probably the best way to go. Thanks again.Robbye
