As CEO and founder of NYC educational-consulting firm IvyWise (ivywise.com), Dr. Kat Cohen travels at least four months out of the year. Her busy schedule and need for organization led her to turn a bedroom on the top floor of the four-story Midtown East townhouse she shares with her husband, Hervé Larren, and two young daughters, Cassia and Sienna, into an area devoted to clothing and accessories. Aside from a single built-in closet and two cabinets, the sunlit space keeps everything on view along two rolling racks and on a wall of open shelves reserved for shoes. “It’s like a store where I can see what I own,” she says. “I actually wear everything I have and there’s not something hiding underneath a pile of clothes.”
