It was a good sized closet, it just had all of the California Closet shelves and hanging racks removed prior to the purchase of our home. (Read more about our house buying experience here.) We installed a Harmony closet system in both Lucky's and Charm's closets. Here is how Charm's closet is looking now:
I keep his outgrown clothing in the blue boxes that were clearance scores from IKEA. The white plastic bin is full of Charm 'memories' like birthday cards, special art projects, etc. The numbered grey bins were from Target for $0.56 each 'as is', but I could find nothing wrong with them:). They hold miscellaneous stuff.
Charm loves playing with his Noah Ark set in his closet...he just loves pairing the animals up.
His drawer labels are chalkboard labels from Michael's. (I purchased them last year.) We love having our drawers built in to our closets. It totally eliminates the need for dressers in our rooms!
I organize his shirts by sleeve length and color. It stays like this for about 10 minutes. I keep trying though:). His pants and shorts are folded on top of his shirt hanging rack. We put his socks and pajamas in the drawers on the other side of his closet.
The upper rack is full of clothing that doesn't fit Charm yet. They are mostly clearance purchases from Target:).
Spare diapers go on the top shelf in the corner.
It is feeling so good to go through all of our closets in preparation for our big ol' garage sale. I've got a few areas left to tackle, but they are big ones: our utility room, our exercise room, our attic and our office. Wish me luck and have a wonderful weekend!
I so need those for our house...since our rooms are so small. I have been doing awesome with pricing. I am on a roll, unfortunately I too have a long ways to go though. My neighbor makes fun of me for starting already but she seriously hasn't seen my basement. My garage is already piling up with folded, marked and hung kids clothes. Yippee. Can't wait to unload a bunch of stuff.
ReplyDeleteYes, prepping for the garage sale will be my life for the next couple weeks. The end result (a decrapified household)will make all the work worth it:).
DeleteNice! Just a question though...why do you keep his outgrown clothing in his closet?
ReplyDeleteGreat question! Since we still aren't sure whether or not there will be more kiddos in our future, we're keeping all of our kids' clothing. The bulk of this clothing is in rubbermaid containers labeled by gender and size of clothing. These rubbermaid containers are in our basement utility room. I try to weed out the 'outgrown' garments as we discover them, so in order to maintain order and keep 'outgrown' things from getting back into the clothing circulation, I immediately fold them and put them into boxes in each child's closet rather than running downstairs to the rubbermaids. Once the closet boxes are full, I empty them into a size and gender specific rubbermaid in the basement. Sounds complicated, but it's so easy and works for us. Thanks for the question!
DeleteThis closet is a dream! I'm officially a follower now! love your blog. As soon as I get these gutter shelves hung..I'm organizing closets! Our aren't walk-ins, so they won't be this glorious, but you've inspired me to clean 'em out. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks and welcome:)!! Clean closets are so nice. I'm working on our master closet right now. It's so nice when everything has a place. Good luck with the gutter shelves and your closets!
