new closet troubles.

I am having such a difficult time transitioning {closet-wise} from living on my own to moving back home.  My closet at my old apartment was huuuge and now I have a closet this size:

(eeww look at those ugly plastic hangers - need to get on that!)

I've been working on organizing the best I can, but still there is just not enough space. I've had to take things that would normally be in my closet {sweaters, scarves, this little white dresser I have, allll of my shoes} and find creative ways to organize them. I've put my sweaters and scarves in the little dresser and the dresser out in my room. My shoes don't all fit in my closet the way I'd like them to, so I've kept ones I don't wear that often in their boxes out of the way. I also have a large plastic container used for more shoes I don't wear that often that didn't have boxes:


Some of my white ikea kassett boxes are on the shelf above my clothes. The whole closet is pretty poorly-planned - with a single bar way up high and a single shelf, the builders definitely didn't utilize the space effectively. I want my dad to build in another shorter bar somewhere for jeans, skirts, etc. Can you see why I've been posting a lot about gorgeous closets?!  I'm envious!

Okay this one is awesome too.  Look at all of those Louis!  I also love the idea of having a island-type table in the center of a closet for more storage.  Hope you all had a great weekend!

Love this simple closet design - although there definitely is not enough space for all of my clothes. Or shoes.  Hopefully they have another section not shown in the picture...?

cleaning the closet

The picture is a beautiful PAX closet system via ikea.  A walk in closet was created by separating a space for a closet from a small bedroom.  WANT THIS.

Since I am getting ready to move soon, I've been working on cleaning out my closet. for real.  I always say I'm going to clean it out, yet end up hanging on to things that I don't wear ("maybe I'll wear it one day...") or that don't fit me anymore ("maybe one day I will fit into this again...").  It's a very annoying trait of mine.  BUT I came to the realization the other day (don't laugh that I'm just getting this now) that I may as well get rid of stuff because it is just taking up precious space in my closet AND I will want new things later anyway.  Duh, Erin!  Not sure why it took me so long to put this together (I blame my packrat of a father!) but I'm so glad I came to this realization.  I literally have hugggee bags of stuff that I will be trying to sell on ebay or donate.  And now there is plenty of room in my closet for new stuff! :)


ps - shout out to my awesome friend eab for helping me declutter my closet! :)
