Old homes aren't known for their abundance of storage, but my 130-year-old Victorian rowhouse has a surprise: a closet in the dining room. As someone who loves to entertain, I couldn't be happier with this bonus storage. The closet is small, but in theory it holds all my napkins, candles, servingware, and other dinner party essentials. The problem? With only one built-in shelf and two wire shelving units I'd repurposed, the space had turned into a chaotic game of Tetris.
