Not sure why... but I LOVE organizing! Most people who know me, know this little trait I have. I enjoy a well organized space, and I am not afraid to say it!! So even though my closet might have appeared already organized to most- I had some ideas that I wanted to change.
You see most of my closet is organized by type of clothing- like jeans, tanks, teeshirts, cardigans... you get the idea. Then all the other things were organized in baskets. Don't get me wrong, I love a good basket for organizing. But I started to feel my baskets overflowing and I was never sure what all was stuffed in each. So I went to Target and collected only a few cheap and easy materials to help clean out my over stuffed baskets and display the items in them. My thought... maybe if I can see what I have I will wear it more often or at least realize I need to have a garage sale!
Here are a few of the ideas I put into place to organize my closet today.
 |
| My purses started on a shelf just all kinda tossed in. |
 |
| I used the empty space under my last shelf and the carpet floor to create a hanging display for my purse collection. |
 |
| I simply took a tension rod and tightened it on either side of the shelf. Then I used cheap, silver shower curtain rings to hang each purse with. So easy, but they look so nice all hung up and visible! |
 |
| This organization tip I did from the minute we moved into our home. I might have a slight obsession with necklaces!! I needed a place to put them all and a normal jewelry case just doesn't cut it. I used the empty side of my built in shelves and added small screw in hooks. Sooo easy and effective. Now I can see all my necklaces, and they are right there when I am putting together an outfit. |
 |
| My next basket to organize was the one stuffed with scarves. I love scarves!! They are great for all seasons! I needed a spot to hang them so they weren't so wrinkled when I wanted to wear them and so I didn't forget about the ones at the bottom of the basket. |
 |
| Again- I am all about using that random empty space in a closet! |
 |
| I simply screwed in a small curtain rod. Then I used those same silver shower curtain rings to hang each scarf. |
My last tip is one for the shoes!!
 |
| I love the look of boots all standing tall, like in a store. However, the boot inserts at local organizing stores are around $10.00. Doesn't seem like much until you realize you have about 8 to 10 pairs of boots!! That adds up!! |
 |
| So my solution was to create my own boot insert! I simply used an old box and cut a slice of cardboard that was long enough to fill my boot length. I cut it and folded it in half. |
 |
Stick the cardboard down into each boot and there you have it!! A FREE boot insert so all your boots can stand tall!
|
I gotta say I had so much fun in my closet today!! I have some fun ideas now for those empty shelves and basket!
Good thing about my new closet organization- It is organized and looks neat. I can see everything and easily access everything.
Bad thing about my new closet organization- Those baskets hid how much stuff I really have. Now that it is all out on display for me, my husband can also see everything!! No more shopping for a while:)
Hope these little tips help inspire you to organize a space in your home.
