HB's man-about-town, Robert Rufino, rounds up secret hiding places.

A life well lived can come with a seemingly unending accumulation of stuff. One day you’re innocently deciding to save that funny birthday card from your Aunt Mary, then years later you have a collection of cards spilling out of your desk drawer. While some of the items you collect in your lifetime you may want to display for the world to see, others you might rather put in storage until they are needed. So here's your solution: HB's man-about-town, Robert Rufino, has rounded up 19 of his favorite chic and clever ways to store your odds and ends. Whether you’re looking to save small treasures like coins or old love letters, or tuck away large items like workout gear or scrapbooks, there's a way to store your things in style. (Perhaps you love to host the occasional dinner party and with that comes the need for extra plateware, flatware, and drinkware. And who could forget placemats and napkins? You may be shopping your favorite House Beautiful holiday decor guide and wind up buying a use-once-a-year bedding set plus throw blankets and pillows for all your soft surfaces without a place to stash them the other eleven months of the year!)
