Gayle King (Oprah's BFF) once said "Your closet should be like your own personal boutique. Everything in it should fit you perfectly, and you should LOVE all the items - or get rid of them". I mentioned this in an earlier post, and finally got around to tackling my closet. I am the queen of the stackers. I start by laying one item on a chair, and then add another each day. Before I know it I have a stack of clothes that need sorting and hanging. I bring my clean laundry hamper into the closet and set it there until a few more piles of clean clothes add to the stack. I am the first one to nag my girls about putting their laundry away, but do I lead by example? no. Unfortunately I didn't snag any "before" pictures, but trust me - it wasn't pretty.
Yesterday I finally went through my closet and really tried to make it more like my own personal boutique. I re-arranged a few things, pulled out clothes and shoes that I either don't like or don't fit. I straightened, color coordinated, stacked, vacuumed and dusted - making my closet more inviting and better organized.
Here are the "after" pictures~
Ta da!!
It feels so nice to walk in there now. I even added a little lamp into my built-in to add a touch of warmth and help shed a little light on my jewelry area.
Lastly, I discovered "Space Bags" and LOVE how I can use them to store my winter sweaters without taking up much space!! What a great tool!
I am so happy walking into my closet now. It's funny how a little organization can make such a difference in your day.
