You could say we were startled into action! After merely talking about re-organizing our closet for over a year, we finally kicked into gear this weekend. We went to the Container Store which is having a sale on all Elfa shelving — 30% off! Our “closet organizer” Paul was amazingly helpful and patient, helping us work out the dimensions on his computer. Ultimately, it’s not that different from our old closet, but after weeding out six hefty bags full of donation clothes, it feels so much bigger and more airy. We added some bins and shelves that have room to spare. Yesterday, I wore a skirt I hadn’t seen in a year. It’s like shopping in my own home! — Angela M.

I stayed in a hotel over the holidays that had a great closet, and we sketched it and plan to build a similar model. I'd be happy to share the plans! Also, I found easyclosets.com, which was helpful in terms of ideas. I'd definitely suggest looking around to get an idea of what you want -- there are a lot of options out there!

That happened to me last year in a home I was renting. First the bottom rack fell down (it was probably about 8' long). It took over a month for the landlord to fix it. Less than 2 weeks later the top shelf fell! I gave up on the landlord and lived out of laundry baskets until we moved! I’m sorry to hear about your closet.
