52 Weeks to a More Organized Home | #7 The Master Closet
And here are a few ideas from around the web I found. Check out The Simplest and Straightforward Closet Organizing Ideas for some good advice for organizing your closet. Then check out these hacks that I’m going to try!
Pool Noodles for keeping your boots in shape! Via Cold Weather Hacks to Help You Survive Winter.
lifedesigncraft uses a tie rack for tank tops! I could clear out an entire drawer of tanks onto one of these and then put my sweaters in the drawer. Imagine how much closet space that would free up!
I love this Legging/Tights Storage idea from BHG. I have an organizer like this that’s only two columns wide – that would work even on the back of my bi-fold doors on my closet! What a great idea!
And double your space by putting a soda can tab over the hanger hook and putting another hanger through the second hole on the can tab! GENIUS! Via 10 Items You’re Throwing Away That You Should Be Reusing!
And who knew you could make your own no-slip hangers with PIPE CLEANERS?!? What?!?! Thanks inmyownstyle!
Ok, so I hope I motivated you! Go tackle your closet! And come back next week for next week’s challenge. I promise I’ll go easy on you!
Your additional challenges this week:
- Last week you cleaned out the kids closet. Hopefully you found some things to get rid of (and no judging if you tossed them while the kids weren’t home). But this week, challenge them to find 3 things they no longer want, use or need and assist them in getting to the goodwill or a donation drop off site (provided the items are in usable condition) and as a reward, take them out for ice cream. :)
- Let’s keep returning things to their places. Make it a habit this week to grab one thing from a room before you leave that doesn’t belong in that room and either return it where it belongs, trash it, or add it to the donate box.
- If you’re doing the 2016 Clean Out Challenge you should have tossed around 240 items already and you’ll need to toss out about 40 items over this week. (For what it’s worth, I’m NOT counting things going in the yard sale boxes as part of my 2,016 items. I’ll count them when they’ve actually sold. I’m only counting things trashed, re-homed or taken to goodwill)
Are you going to join me in having a more organized home? Comment below! Leave your tips, questions and suggestions! Let us know how your week went.
I’ll be honest, I’m about 40 items behind on my 2,016 Item Clean Out Challenge… Also, tell me about problem areas in your house – everyone’s home is different and I want to make sure we cover all areas during our 52 weeks!
Don’t forget to come back next week for a new challenge!
