Remember when I described our master closet situation here??? Yea, well that was the last time I discussed that space. I finally decided it was about time I switched my focus from the living areas of our home to the ensuite area. Our closet systems have been installed since a day or two before Christmas, but that doesn't mean my belongings where put away properly or had a permanent resting place since then. I have basically been throwing stuff in and out of there...and rearranging things as we spent more time in our new home.
And now that we have our Craiglisted furniture all painted and in place, I had no excuses left...I needed to get my closet finished and fully functional.
The process was a little annoying and involved a lot of trying on clothes and tossing the things that I didn't love or didn't fit into a donate pile. Once I purged all that I could {I still have way too much haha}, I put everything on these slim hangers from Bed Bath & Beyond. I love them. They grip my clothing with their velvety texture and they take up minimal rod space.
Ever since I finished my closet, getting dressed in the morning is as easy as can be. It helps a lot to have all my clothing organized and displayed right in front of me. I mean, I still have the "I have nothing to wear" moments quite frequently...and then I want to Gibbs head slap myself because of the amount of clothing I own haha. {That was a NCIS reference...anyone else out there watch that show?!?!?}
To help me trim down my wardrobe in the future {aka - keep me from hoarding junk I don't wear}, I'm implementing a technique. All of my hangers face the same way on each rod. When I wear something, I will flip the hanger the other way. This will help me to wear more pieces, and it will also help me to keep track of things need to go into a donate pile. {I read somewhere that we only wear 20% of our wardrobe...yikes!}
So enough babbling on my part...here are some pictures {yes, without the doors on} of my closet. Please, don't judge too harshly. I'm painfully aware that my closet is so boring and stark white. I have dreams of jazzing it up with some paint and possible stenciling, but that project would involve a crazy amount of time, patience and taping. Perhaps I'll tackle that after alllllllllllll the other projects on my to-do list. :)
The only thing missing in here is my jewelry. That just wouldn't fit...so I have something else planned for accessory organization. More on that project when I actually get around to doing it! {The weather around here has not been suitable for spray painting lately. Booooo!}
Hopefully my "mission organization" attitude continues, and I can tackle our nightmare-ish hall closets ASAP! Anyone else organize something lately?!?!
