And the important part is continuing to maintain the closet well organized!

You’re not kidding. Luckily, maintaining the order isn’t difficult once you have a system. Thanks for the reminder that you’re never truly finished organizing. It’s an ongoing task.

I wish someone could do the same thing in my closet. I am too lazy to do it myself.

see i have a prob there is a dresser in my closet so i dont have a place for my shoes…the closet is both mine and my 17 month old’s.

That is a tough one. If you can’t move the dresser out of your closet into your room, then I have two suggestions. 1. Store your shoes in clear boxes and put them on the highest shelf of your closet. It may be inconvenient but at least they are out of the way and you can see what you have.

2. Create a shoe storage system in your room. You could use a dresser. If you use a dresser, you could put fancy shoes in one drawer, tennis shoes in another, etc. Another way to do it would be to get a standing shoe rack for a closet. Put your shoes on it. Then get fabric and attach it around the sides and front of the rack to cover the shoes. It will look very shabby chic or country.

why were the links that white space sent to you not included in the video or description? It would have been very helpful for the viewer to receive those resources as well. Great vid though:)

I wish my closet were as big as this one. Good tips for those having trouble organizing. I have done my cloth sorting this way for some time–but I’ve seen other good stuff as well. Thanks for the vid! ^_^ But how would you recommend organizing a dorm wardrobe? It’s about 5ft tall by 3ft long.

good tips

proof that closets are for clothes!

I bought a bunch of clear hangers with metal hooks from a lady on Craigslist who was closing her store for a great price! It totally made my closet so much better.. I loathe wire hangers. I have a box of clothes to take to the women’s shelter. I use milk crates on the shelves for all my purses. Waterfall tops and some skirts for more room.

Who cares about the closet! I didn’t even notice the closet. I was just focused on you–You’re beautiful!

I am currently trying to clean out my closet… it’s a pain! I have this beautifull closet with shelves on the inside, on the side wall, but right now it is filled with boxes of broken toys from way back when (I am 16). Also I was wondering if there were like rack type things to place in my closet so I could take the bar thing out. So I can get to things.

I liked how your closet turned out.
May 2nd, 2009 at 7:32 pm
wow this is very helpfull and the fact that youre organizing your own closet says that no matter wht your closet can look good. Thanks! =]

I think it’s easier to take everything out first, and then sort it – then you only put back what’s left after sorting.
