yippee! our closet gets a makeover

Last week, the top shelf of our bedroom closet unceremoniously crashed down in the wee hours of the morning. 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.




Thanks for the inspiration! I’m moving into my boyfriend’s home and we desperately NEED to do something to organize his closet in order to accomodate my clothes/shoes/bags/etc.! :)
Where are your shoes?
In the drawers on the bottom?
I love it!
Yes, my shoes are in the drawers. I also picked up some plastic boxes and squeezed them in here and there.
Closet Organizers are great you have a place for everything and it’s easy to find your stuff. You’ll wonder how you got along without one.
