Ann Stephenson and Lori Scacco's Fire Island A-Frame is bright, simple, and filled with smart and inexpensive storage and organization ideas. Here are seven tips to steal.
1. Ikea Shelves
Ekby brackets (in birch) from Ikea support a stack of three shelves.
2. Handmade Vessels
In a real high/low moment, just below the Ikea shelving is a wheel-thrown ceramic vase by Michelle Quan, used to store cooking spoons.
3. Peg Rails
Throughout their home, the couple hung poplar Shaker Peg Rails that they ordered to size from NH Woodworking.
4. A Console from Ikea
The couple made use of the narrow kitchen space by introducing an Ikea hack—the $129 Rekarne pine console painted Benjamin Moore China White and fitted with a honed Carrara marble top.
5. Aalto Stools
The couple use Aalto stools as seating, coffee table, and nightstand. And when they’re not in use; they can be neatly stacked to save space.
6. Dock Cleats
Have outdoor storage needs? Consider weather-proof, hardwearing nautical cleats. The towel hooks Ann and Lori chose for their outdoor shower are Galvanized Dock Cleats.
7. Collapsible Outdoor Furniture
The couple opted for a biergarten table and benches, all of which are collapsible for easy stowing at the end of the season.
