My closet!- Updated w/Pics ..
Permalink Closed

Ok , This may sound lame to some of you (it does to my hubby) but I am taking the day off of work today to clean and reoganize my closet.

I just cant take it anymore, I dont have enough space & I am buying new clothes every week from my store so I have even less space.

I am going to post pictures when I am done, because this is a major job!! Does anyone have any space saving ideas?

How do you store handbags? I have like 80 expensive ones, just thrown on the top shelves of my closet - ack!!

here is a stylethread article about closet cleaning:

as far as handbags, I put them in their dustbags and kind of stack them... I also have a double shelf thingy on the shelf to stack small bags/clutches on.

My closet has some extra shelves near the door that are probably supposed to be for linens and towels.  I use them for my bags.  I keep them in their dustbags and arranged them on the shelves in size order, the smallest on the top and the largest on the bottom. 


eta:  If you want to save space, I recommend *not* getting stackable hangers.  I have to rely on them right now because I don't have a lot of space and I *hate* them.  They save a little bit of room but it's messy and makes it hard to see my pants in the closet.

For all my clutches and vintage purses, I hang them on my wall and use them as a decoration also. That may not work for everyone but I love it. It's convenient and pretty. It doesn't work for larger bags though - not sure of yours' sizes.

If it makes you feel better I took today off to attempt to clean my house. It's sad but true. Unfortunately I've done nothing but surf ST all day and make a pb sandwich. Yay for laziness!

Shoes go into something like this:


Tops & Skirts hang on this:


Belts go on a padded version of this:


Tanks, t-shirts & some sweaters go onto something similar to:

That is so ingenious! I've never seen one before but I may just have to get this for my new apartment.

You have totally reminded me that I need to clean my closet this weekend.  I can think of three or four things off the top of my head that I can purge.   How is your purge going?

ok pictures dont do it justic ..

I took photos of all my shoes and posted them on the outside of the boxes , so I could see them. Trust me it makes owning 200 pairs of shoes ALOT easier to see which pair to wear ...


Then I bought 5 huge plastic bins and put them on shelves and filled them with my purses ...



Then I bought stackable plastic bins/drawers and organized all my bras and undies (wheh that alot of undies!)



I also put in a rolling rack I stole from one of my stores just to make room for my jeans ---



And lastly the overview ( I am still working on switching all the hangers out to wood hangers ...



The sad part is - this is AFTER I got rid of 6 trashbags full of clothes and handbags ....


My husband said he is ready to converte one of our extra bedrooms to a closet for me - ahhh wouldnt that be nice!

Wow, looks great, like you really put a lot of time into it! I just posted a question about this in the HOme/Garden section, so I was really happy to see your pics. I have made the conversion from plastic hangers to all wooden hangers, ( I picked up 2 bunches everytime I went to Target) and am amazed at how "uniform" things look when they are all hung on the same hangers. I now have to figure out how to organize folded items.


Here is a question: do you fold your sweaters or hang them? I am always going back and forth over what to do.
