A Fabulous Closet

This closet is beautiful and fabulous to begin with, I just sorted it in order to make the various clothing types and objects within the storage nooks more accessible. This was so much fun because of the space available for storage, and its amazing that I could contribute to making a great space even better!


BEFORE - Shoes

AFTER - Shoes
Storing shoes in their original boxes is a GREAT idea if you have the space, and a great alternative to buying those clear shoe containers to store them in. I suggest taking a picture of your shoes with each new pair you buy and attaching it to the front of the box. In this case I also arranged her shoes on each shelf by type making the shoes she may be looking for even more accessible.

BEFORE - Bag Storage area


AFTER - Bag Storage area

AFTER - Bag storage (a closer look)
I highly suggest adding these simple shelves to any space, especially closets. They are inexpensive at Target and provide separation and depth to existing shelving units. I sorted accessories and bags by type making it easier to grab and go!

BEFORE - Coats (above) & Tanks (below)
AFTER - Coats & Tanks
I kept her existing arrangement, I simply provided a better view by arranging the coats by heaviness and the tanks by type.  Maintaining the same type of hanger in each space also helps you find what you're looking for a little more quickly so you're not just seaching through distracting hangers.

BEFORE - Overall


AFTER - Overall
Looking into the closet from the doorway you can see how I have also arranged the long sleeve shirts grouping them together and by type (top row) and done the same for short sleeve shirts (below). This also gives you an overall feel for the transformation of the space just with a few changes.

To quote the closet owner "I want you to know that I LOVE my closet even more now! ... Thanks for showing me how great it can be!"

Please get in touch if you would like a closet transformation. I have said many times, closets are my favorite!
