We all know the gross anatomy of a peeled-off outfit--that
bedside heap of dirty-kneed jeans (underwear still inside)
topped by an inside-out T-shirt/sweatshirt combo.
Becky Sprague, a mother of four from Richmond, Indiana,
knew it all too well. Inspired by the
if-you-can't-lick-'em-join-'em philosophy, she installed a
basketball hoop hung with a laundry-bag net. "I never have to
pick up laundry anymore," she says.
The hoop was a yard sale find, repainted, then screwed to
her sons' bedroom wall. The net was a mesh laundry bag with a
zipper closing.
