Since I have already organized both of my walk-in closet's (twice), I moved on to helping one of my best friends.
This is how we spent our Friday night, a sign of getting old ((sighhhhh)). So we filled, I mean poured wine in our glasses and got to work. We started by ripping the closet apart. I like a blank canvas to work with. My friend is not experienced with power tools so it was a fun night of drinking wine and teaching her.
In the "before" picture you can see the ample wasted space! The broken spinning shoe rack that, in my opinion, was better used as a tool rack for myself ... Don't ya think!?
I wanted to give you ideas I use when working with cluttered closest and are perfect for ANY closet clean-up.
If you have room for any size shelves, DIY some that are a perfect fit for your items. Home Depot has the perfect scrap wood pile and the wood for these shelves cost about $3!!
If you are an organized freak just like me... Clear tacks!! There are so many cute ideas to organize your jewelry BUT the tacks are the easiest and make the less damage to your walls. You can rearrange your collection as you add pieces (which face it, happens way too often).
Long curtain rods are the perfect display for a large collection of scarves.
Cute baskets and containers are great for storing anything from hats to purses.
Be creative when organizing your closet. Design it around you and your needs. I myself need everything on display and and in my face just so I use or wear it. I have no problem spending time rummaging through drawers and bins at tag sales but I don't like doing it in my closet.
If you have odds and ends you need to organize and you aren't sure how, leave a comment! I'd be more than happy to help! Happy organizing!!
