Creative closet organization

 

My unique style goes beyond my business, UNUSUAL FIT. I think creatively in EVERYTHING I do and it starts in the morning when I am getting ready...

There are a few things that I am totally obsessed with... I mean other than crafting of course. Like any other woman I like to get dressed up and look nice. Well, some days anyway. Most of the time I am dressed to work in my shop and I'm usually covered in paint and sawdust. But I must add... I LOVE IT!

If things aren't out in the open in my closet I tend to NOT wear them!! For those of you who know me you KNOW that it is not at all because I am lazy. I just don't like rummaging through drawers to find clothes or accessories like I do when it comes to a tag sale or yard sale! I like to store things in my closet in a very neat, organized way that gives me complete access during a busy morning. I have spent many hours in my walk in closet, the size of a small room :) , organizing it to be ... well almost perfect! Since I wear scarves all year round I tend to have a rather larger collection. So a quick and easy DIY project for YOUR walk-in closet is this curtain rod scarf holder! I got this lightweight curtain rod from IKEA for literally dollars! Every scarf I own is easily hung up and I can always find the right one to match!

Its a Shutter Shelf

I am so excited to present to you...  a shelf made from old shutters! A little recycling can go a long way! This creation was a custom order for a shelf that was able to hold several binders. After searching through my entire stock of inventory I decided I was going to have to create a unique piece that was designed around my client. After receiving the requirements I started sketching out ideas since I was building from scratch. I'm also really thrilled to say that I have advanced from beginner to intermediate at using the table saw! YAY (Patting myself on the back)! I know to some experts out there this doesn't seem to be such a big accomplishment. BUT This is the only tool that really scared me! Between the extreme noise and the blade being in control I was hesitant to use this, especially since I am at my shop solo. The reasoning behind the shelf spacing is this... Since this shelf will be used to hold binders I wanted to make sure that after the binders were piled on you were still able to see the backdrop. That is the best part of the shelf after all! So I measured and added a few extra inches, now when it's full... you can still see the beautiful colors.
