What's your favorite piece of storage/organization furniture?
While I love finding a great deal on an organizing find at the the Dollar Store, Target or on Amazon.com, sometimes you need to spend a little more to combine storage and organization with a furniture piece to really get the most out of your space.

Even as a decluttering pro, I can admit that there are still some items I just enjoy having one too many of — like coffee mugs, holiday decor and college memorabilia.
