Just a helpful little hack. Hang all of your clothing backwards on the rod with the open side of the hanger facing out. When using a piece of clothing and putting it back later, hang it the right way. At the end of the year, go through your closet and get rid of anything still hanging backwards. It’s a good way to keep track of what you truly don’t wear and can donate. Also remember women’s shelters when donating clothing. ❤
Great idea Teresa!
Brilliant.
Good idea. Thanks 👍
Such a good idea!
Thanks! I am going to TRY THAT!
Excellent, excellent video! I work as a designer for a well known design company. These hacks are spot on. The only thing I didn’t like was the shoe storage being above the clothing. Pool noodle in the purses is excellent. Great ideas without having to pull the closets apart. And thank you for giving the information quickly and not rambling on. It’s appreciated you’re respectful of others time.
You made my day Diana!
I couldn't do the shoes that are not in a box. Shoes a very dirty and I wouldn't have them in my closet and certainly not above my clothing. P.S. I don't wear shoes in my house. They never make it past my foyer.
I love your ideas, but do not agree with storing the shoes above the clothes as the soles will likely be dirty.
As a closet designer (me, too) a suggestion is to do a "front to back" pole in those deep sides.
I use pool noodles in my boots so they stand up 😃
“Today is Not the end of your story! So don’t quit. Keep putting one foot right in front of the other.” Thank you, thank you, Shannon, for these words and for your encouragement. Plus great organizing tips! ❤😊
Just make a START even if its One Drawer Or Shelf..
So glad we found each other Gypsy Belle!
@@shannonskiptomylife Your words at the conclusion of your video simply blew me away! I lost my brother/best friend to despair a number of years ago... We never know who's listening, who's feeling isolated...and, perhaps - God forbid! - thinking about "throwing in the towel"... Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Shannon 🍀
@@withit062714 I just read your comment. I'm very sorry about your brother. Something like that never leaves you.
Well done with this video. I would add one thing a dry cleaner told me a long time ago… When blouses/shirts are being hung up… Hang them inside OUT. The hanger bumps will be to the inside and not sticking up when you put them on. And I also hang two shirts of the same color on one hanger.
The same hangers is HUGE! No one thinks it is but, what a difference it makes going to your closet everyday. Brilliant tips. No need to go in debt to organise.
Opening your closet and seeing an oasis of tidiness is a very satisfying experience.
I love those hangars, but tug at it sideways and it will snap. I find myself breaking them regularly - and the color is impossible to match. I'd love a tip for this.
It gives me severe anxiety when the hangers don’t match
Those hangers from Walmart fail over time, especially for heavier men's suits, jackets. I have had at least a dozen break, just with women's blouses on th3m.
Lots of good suggestions! I believe the hard part is departing with the pieces we no longer use for whatever reason.
Love how simple things brighten up a space! Even more easy and renter friendly for the rod is a plastic shower rod cover, less than $5 at Home Depot. Snaps on and pulls off when it's time to go. Won't shred like stick-on vinyl. Also, a periodic wipe with a piece of wax paper will make those hangers slide like a dream. (Old retail trick.)
Well I’m SHOCKED!!! To say I struggle with organization is a major understatement. This Video was Beyond Helpful but Not Overwhelming. These are Ideas I Can Use👍🏻TY
Changing out my hangers for the nicer, slimmer, velvet type with swivel hooks and no slip grip has been so very much worth the investment! It has been a game changer for me, especially since I prefer to hang nearly all my clothes rather than folding them. Socks and underwear are the only things I don’t hang in the closet, even with limited space. I live in a tiny apartment now, after having owned two larger homes previously. Downsizing has been a bit painful at times, but is much better for me overall. But organization is key to having enough space !
Jan you made my day! You are why I made this channel.
Helpful hint... You can also use soda can tabs to hang clothes going down. The tab has 2 holes. Hang one over the top clothes hanger, put second hanger in the second hole of the tab for hanging multiple clothes downward. Plus, the metal doesn't lose its ability to hold the weight of the clothes like the plastic does. I had that problem with the store-bought plastic that was specifically made to hang clothes downward.
I just recently started reorganizing my closet. Instead of choosing an Ikea or Closet World System which I'm sure is quite expensive I chose to reconfigure my space with the "perfectly" useable Clear Containers I already have. This meant donating a lot of STUFF and from this moment on keeping everything to a minimum by NOT purchasing more STUFF. I'm not finished yet but I can actually walk into my closet now. Thank YOU so much for your tips and ideas. I will be checking out your other videos . 👍
I love this for you Kozy Kitten! Keep us posted on your progress.
They use to sell plastic liner covers for shower bars (which would also work on closet bars) I’ve looked everywhere & can’t find them.
Well done! It feels fabulous once you’re organised. I have always had the rule of “bringing one new item in means taking two items out”. If I buy a shirt, two go! Same with shoes, etc. At one point I was so inundated with hats, mittens, gloves and scarves (that no one wore) that I gathered my husband and kids, said pick which ones you like. Then we went to which TWO you like the most. I then put dividers in a drawer by the back door and said ‘this is where they live. Learn, love it, do it!’. That was 20 years ago and now the kids spots are empty. I’m waiting for grand babies to fill them!! 😂
I saw them on Home Depot website.
@@Shyblues, thanks! I’ll have to look.
The shoe rack on the top shelf is just genius! Clear bins✅ new hangers ✅ pool noodles in purses✅ Well done!
Thanks so much Donna!
Exactly!!!
@@sachelldupree1330 Quick Thought: Your shoes have been EVERYWHERE. Just because the racks FIT, I question the sanitary aspect of putting them OVER YOUR GARMENTS. Use the racks for, let's say, out of season sweaters/bulky items in vacuum bags. Do shoes in shoe bags (ahem: washable) on a narrow wall.
@@Cleverdish I was thinking exactly this! Surprised not an issue with most.
Seriously??? Would need to stand on a ladder to reach them!
I love all your hacks except storing shoes above the clothes. But we all do what works for us . Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for the tips & encouragement!🤗 My fur baby's name is Diesel. He was literally rescued from near a Diesel fuel pump in a bad part if Memphis TN by my daughter. He has filled a hole in my life that I didn't even know how huge it was until he came into my life and I believe that I did the same for him. Another miracle that the Lord arranged!
What a beautiful story Mary! Adding him to list.
Glad you found him & he found you!💕
Once or twice a year, I hang all my clothes backward. As I wear and launder them I put the hanger the normal way. That way, I can clearly see which items I’m not wearing and are ready to donate.
I highly recommend decluttering, becoming minimalist and a capule wardrobe.
Great tips. Our house is from the 1950s, so closets are small, and a lot of these ideas will work for me.
Liz you made my day!
When purchasing the canvas sorter hanging units, be sure to get the ones with 2 hooks/tabs. They hold up better and distribute the weight on the rod.
Yes
My fur baby is named AJ. He’s a little gray cat that we love so much. He’s very spoiled and demanding but I guess we have spoiled him. ❤
AJ is on my list! Thx for watching.
Covering the poles is a must now fir me. Even curtain poles.😊
Yes!!! My kind of people.
Wow! What an incredible difference! And you did it how us normal not wealthy folks would! I’m tired of watching shows of “Organizers” going into a Garage and organizing it! She’s a Kardashian I sure hope you can organize it with NO CASH LIMIT! I could organize any room with $45,000! smh 🤦🏻♀️ Or Reece Witherspoons kitchen! That show is extremely depressing. And insulting! You took very affordable and appropriate items and improved those closets. I’m now single after 30 yrs and before I moved I sold my bedroom furniture. The closet in my bedroom is pretty big so I never got a new dresser! Never needed one. But then I just started keeping my clothes in my tiny laundry room. It’s just me so it works! My W & D face each other. I put a broom handle across them. So now I hang shirts up as I pull them on the pole. My undies I simply toss in a bin I got at Dollar Tree 😊 I stopped folding yrs ago! Shorts (I live in FL) go in a bin next to the other one. Same with pjs. Tho, I usually just wear a tank top to bed! For dresses, Dollar Tree has over the door hooks and I use that! They now hang on the back of the door. Now I’m working on using my walk in closet as a storage room for seasonal stuff! For shoes I had to get real. I wear my Teva Flip Flops every day. I wear my sneakers maybe 2 times a year! I can’t remember the last time I wore heels or even boots. It’s just too hot! I apologize this reply is so lengthy. I’m new to your channel 😊 And I wanted to share my “out of the box” solution to my Closets! As for an Office? It’s a small 1bed/bath. I used the front hall closet. It’s small so I took a plastic shelf you’d normally use in a garage and put it in there. I removed the top shelf to fit it in underneath the rod. Now each shelf has its job. And no damage to the walls!! Happy Organizing 😊
Heh!! I have always stored my shoes one facing forward, one saving back. I had never seen anyone else do this!! Bravo!! 😂🎉❤
I also use the same hangers!! I also use chains on the hangers as space savers for my skirts, pants and shirts to save space as I am an absolute clothes horse!! I use canvass sorting boxes for my intimates, purses et al. And clear storage boxes for those items I need a visual on. This video confirmed for me that I am on the right track!! Thank you!! PS: I loved the hanging jewelry holder and the pool noodle hack!! I have used them in my boots, but never in my purses. That will soon change!!
Thanks for watching Claire! Great minds think alike.
I use pop tabs on the hangers works amazingly
I live in a house built in the 1950's, when people didnt have so much, so closets are very,very small.I use S hooks in my closet, and those hanging shelves are great too. If you have a less sturdy one, try placing a piece of thick cardboard (or chipboard) on each shelf to add stability and I found a folding board to be very useful as you can actually fold anything on them and whatever you're folding can all be the same exact size. I'm an organizing freak and have owned a small label maker for a long time and use it for everything. I also use individual over the door hooks for towels, robes and used those mesh laundry bags for lingerie, hooked together with binder rings, hung on those over the door hooks to sort my lingerie that needs washing cause I hand wash those items.
Your ideas are brilliant! You figured out how to have less in your closet which makes it easier to organize and keep neat. I especially liked your mesh bag for lingerie that you hand wash. You eliminated a step by storing it in the mesh bag and saved room in your closet. Question: the metal ring goes through the mesh bag at the top and that’s how you hang it?
My favorite hack is the cutting board with hole punches to hang multiple items. Simple & do-able
When I retired, I didn't need my nicer career office clothing. I went through it and organized into skirts, tops, etc. I bagged it up and donated it to a battered women's shelter. It really is a great place to take clothing, since women are beginning a new life and a new job. Nicer clothing gives them a good start in a new life.
Perfect idea caseytcat!
Organization is great. Purge half?! Or more of those shoes! Paint inside of closet a very bright gloss white. It will help. Better yet-ask landlord to redo that outdated dark closet. Love the doggie! So cute❤
Thanks for the tips!
New Sub here! I love your tips! About 15+ years ago when the felt hangers came out and were very expensive, I started to save every month on my college part time income. They would be a game changer in my small closet at my parents house. That was the one thing I changed and it almost doubled my closet capacity. I agree if you can only afford to do 1 thing, the hangers are the choice. Your closet turned out amazing! Shout out to my 3 fur babies, Hunter, Bella, and Ranger!
Thanks so much Vanessa! Adding them to the list.
Some of these hacks are awesome others promote more issues… I would never put shoes on a rack above my head to the top of the closet. You can’t see them and the dirtiest part is pointing down to your face. Wrap the wood dowel also not the greatest idea. Those velvet hangers are God level as the battery light in the closet too. 2 excellent suggestions ❤
The pool noodles are a great idea. To keep the shape of my bags, I use the air pillows that come in shipping boxes.
Perfect!
so glad i found this video!! I am literally in the middle of re-doing my small reach in closet and some of these tips are absolutely fantastic! THANK YOU
So glad!
You can also use plastic shower curtain rod covers to snap on over your closet rods. They’re plastic, sturdy, and easy to install.
I use To live those but I can't seem to find them anymore. Is there a store you regularly find them
@@kldissues Oops…I accidentally hit post before finishing. Other sites have them but they cost close to $20 each
@@kldissues Home Depot website
Home Depot had the white covers in the shower rod section for about $5.00. Hth! ❤
These tips were amazing. I will most definitely be using some of these ideas in my small closet
Awesome! Thank you!
I love that you donated your unwanted clothing! I work at a large nonprofit and we really appreciate donations. The only thing is donations in giant black trash bags are so hard for us lift up to sort through…they also collect moisture. Better to donate in a small clear bag, or paper bags.
Great tip!
I bought a box of 50 hangers from Jysk. They are a velvety feel and work awesome.
I think having all matching hangers makes a HUGE upgrade. One year I gave my friend wooden hangers (from IKEA) and she loved them.
Yes. Matching hangers make a HUGE impact on a closet makeover, and the flocked thin hangers are amazing. They prevent the clothing from falling on the floor, and it does add space in the closet.
I also changed my hangers to the thin velvet ones and learned the trick to place shoes toe to heel side by side and it’s amazing how much space is saved. I have small pocket closets in all my bedrooms so these tips come in handy. And my fur baby’s name is Samson.
Thanks for watching Marcella! Look for the shout out.
I store my shoes that way also. Sandals (Clark’s) I store sideways. Takes up a lot less room that way😊
I store my shoes one on top of the other, facing opposite directions. You have twice as much space that way, especially with sneakers!
ummm... your "before" is better than what i got going on. hahaha. Thank you -- practical, inspiring, *efficient* video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I use plastic chains for the hanging my tops on in my closet. I put the chains on shower hooks.
Love this idea Mickey!
You can also use tabs from aluminum cans. Soda, bubbly water, or whatever you drink. They work great!
lighting, shoes above, wrapping pole and same hangers make a big impact. Nice inexpensive clear boxes, too. Thanks for the encouragement.
You’ve got this MC!!
Donating LOTS of stuff is key. Easier to organize less! Lots of good ideas here. Stroke took away several sizes so bigger items, even if new, must go. Don't assume your kids will want your stuff. Ask-you may be saving stuff they do NOT want. Beware buying storage you may "someday" use as better products will likely be out by then. Even cheaper Walmart storage can add up depending on your budget.
True words!!
Glad to see you acknowledged that there was too much stuff. But holy smokes that’s a lot of shoes. I found those skinny hangers stretched out and distorted clothes. I replaced all my hangers with wooden ones and it’s gorgeous and my clothes stay in shape. I got those canvas shelves and they eventually really droop, so I ended up having to get solid shelves.
Great tips! I also store my less frequently worn shoes on the top shelf in plastic shoe boxes. Why are people so miserable. Thanks for sharing YOUR organizing tips!
Exactly!!
Thank you!! You were a great help for my storage dilemma of only one person, ME! In one bedroom with a small walk in closet, a computer area, stuff and other stuff areas 😏 I shall donate more stuff. 💖🙏🏽Thank you. 👌🏽
You are so welcome Gamaliel!
The printed papers instead of labels are a great idea. Also, another use for pool noodles!
Thanks for watching!
So many great tips! I agree about the velvet hangers - they take up so much less space than the tubular plastic ones. Game changer!
Thanks for watching!
Great ideas! And you are so right. One of our main problems is that we have way too much stuff so, donate. Donate, donate! Before attempting to organize.
Thanks for watching, Joyce!
I love how you think that's a tiny closet! :D The hangers for strappy vest tops is a good idea. I'd seen those hangers in Wilko's and wondered what would fit on them. I currently roll my vest tops and keep them in the chest of drawers, but I think they'll be easier to access on a hanger.
Great video. I like the clear plastic boxes but I’d move them 90 degrees so the front to back is narrower-can fit more. Jewelry is a never ending challenge. If you wear it a lot, I put in those pockets on jewelry organizer. But when I travel, I’ve learned to take a chain necklace for instance and fasten it (so it’s a loop), less likely to get in a knot, then I slip in mini-pill bags so they stay separate. Then when I get home, I keep them that way. Also helps to see the jewelry you really aren’t using. (Similar to putting hangers in closet backwards to prove you’ve worn clothes).
Brilliant!
I also use straws to put my neckless's on when traveling. Thread the neckless through the straw and close it on the outside. Can cut straw if too long.
For those of us with annoying wire shelving in our closets or pantry, I buy cookie sheet pans at the dollar store to put under anything with legs, like the shoe rack for example.
Great idea!
Those cami organizers are pretty cool. I've never seen that idea!
Glad you like it Kim!
Great tips. I'm anxious to get started on my closet. I have done some of your hacks, but I did learn some new tricks. I love the lights and using the clear boxes with the signs on them. Thank you for all your fabulous ideas.
We have a long haired Dachshund who does the same thing. It’s the ‘you’re so boring’ pose because, let’s face it, it’s all about them! 🐾🩷
Cathryn sooo true!!
Zip ties to secure the shelving!? Love this idea 💡 👏 ❤️
Thanks Tracey!!
I like the wire top hangers. I like the clear boxes and putting white paper on dowel.
Thanks Judith!
I love this. I also have hangers similar to that. My sister bought me some from qvc years ago for Christmas. I absolutely love them. They make your closet look great.
Wow Shannon you are very creative. These tips were awesome. I particularly like the shoe racks going up higher but the neatness of you zip-tying them is beyond. I love that looped necklace organizer, I didn’t know that existed. The acrylic boxes are so fancy looking but affordable. Thank you for these realistic truly helpful ideas. I ❤️no-fluff videos.
The lights are my favorite! Im currently using a lamp that takes up too much space.
Mary so glad you got some inspiration.
Great ideas! Loves that one for the clear bins especially!
Love the hack of covering the rod with vinyl! Will try it for sure!
The matching hangers should be number 1. It's a game changer. These are all great tips! 🤩🤩
Ui
Great job and ideas! I just found you and have been working on my closet on and off for almost a year. I am bookmarking you and will use many of your ideas. Thank you!!!
That tip with saving space on your husband's shirts was BRILLIANT. I've been trying to collect specialized hangers! I would do much rather this.
I loved the light fixtures ideas for dark areas and the labels for your containers that was very smart to not glue them or anything and just flip them over.
I’m going to be tackling my closet soon. My favorite tip was the shoe racks on the top of the closet shelf. I’m also going to be getting some of those cami hangers for my daughter and granddaughters for their closets.
You did an excellent job! One thing I noticed with your closet just like mine and one of my sisters is your clothes are color coordinated. I learned that from my sister years ago and it makes fun and whatever so much easier and it makes your closet look a heck of a whole lot better (as well)!! Thanks for sharing your tips.
Shoe rack on top shelf, amazing idea!
How adorable is that Datsun!!! I loved all your tips. Thank you so much and I recently also changed two different hangers, the flat plastic ones
Awesome video Shannon with countless brilliant and budget friendly ideas! I have 2 favourite hacks from this video, hopefully I’m not breaking the rules 😉 Putting the shoe racks on the top shelf and securing them together with zip ties literally made me gasp out loud because it’s next level genius! Also loved your hack for using dollar tree cutting boards for multiple hangers, amazing! Thank you. Funny because I just realized that I’m now at an age where I’m excited to check out your video on drawer organizing lol I wouldn’t have known this unexpected joy and excitement without you! ❤ from Shannon in Canada 🇨🇦
I really liked what you said about this not being the end of my story and don't give up I think that was a very encouraging and thoughtful thing to say My favorites in this video are covering the clothing bar with white contact paper or painting it white And the lucite bins. The closet looks really really nice you did a great job. 😊 I'm sure your husband was thrilled when he came home.
What kind words! Thank you.
Where did you buy the white hangers?
Love the Pool Noodle idea, I’ll definitely be using that one!
Love the large label idea.
Some amazing tips @ hacks, Shannon! Especially love the lighting & those acrylic bins! Bella had me cracking up with her “done with this” pose!! 😂❤
She is such a character Monica! Thanks for watching.
@@shannonskiptomylife 🤣🐶💞
This is The Best Organization video I've seen! Cannot wait to organize and downsize & clean! Love the clean asthetic look. Everything is pleasing to the eye & functional!!
Wow Christina! Thank you.
Loved the cutting board trick!
love the idea of the lights!
You have a lot of really great ideas, and I love how you divided the process up and even labeled the video sections! Easy to go back to if I need to refresh my memory! I'm going to start with the small unlit closets in my house and put in some light bars! Brilliant idea!💡
Thank you!
Your closet is huge compared to mine lol. I only have one big opening that my husband and I share. I'd love to have 2 openings and the drawers you have!!
We are very fortunate for sure! Hope some of these ideas helped Cyndi!
I mean, wisdom is a beautiful thing! This was so nice! Thank you!
Great ideas never thought of pool noodles for purses. We need the light strips in several areas. Just saw the clear boxes on my last visit. Your labels are perfect.
Thank you, Shannon! I’m a new subscriber and I’m glad KZhead recommended your channel to me. I am going to follow your advice and get our closets under control. The shoe storage is the best. I can’t wait to get started. 😊
Marci you can do this! Thx for watching.
Hi Shannon, love all of your ideas that you shared in this video!! Thank you! ❤️❤️ I'm going to use the pool noodle idea for my purses that you shared. That's a great idea! I just moved and I have a new closet that I am organizing. I brought the slim white hangers from Walmart for $2 for 10 hangers. I donated all my plastic hangers. The slim hangers save space in the closet.
I agree Noemi!
You will come out better buying the 50 pack from Sam's club.
Liked the idea of the pool noodles in handbags. Way better than stuffing with paper. Also, covering the clothes rack with vinyl paper, all from dollar tree! Thxs!
These are very good ideas. I will be trying some
Shannon, you have a gift! Thank you so much for sharing.
You made my day!
love the hanger extender idea! my fur baby is a long haired doxie named Riley! he has also been lounging around as i organize and move into my new space😊
Cassie he is on my shout out list!
Love the hanger hack with Dollar Tree mats.
I stumbled upon this video earlier while I was laying down for a nap. Had to come back and comment and make sure I was subscribed. This video alone has absolutely so many awesome and affordable ideas.
🤗 Shannon: Brava!🎉 This was truly an impressive closet makeover. 💖 Loved your affordable range of storage options, hangers, racks & pro organization tips to maximize your allotted space. I appreciated your clear & concise presentation too. • I do like the flexibility of stackable acrylic lidded storage, & flexibilty of moving your laser label 🏷 around as needed. • Pool noodles are brilliant for bag & boot storage. • Securely using zip ties on the trio of shoe racks definitely makes them seem more sturdy on that upper shelf too. My bestie had a Closet Co. come in and 🪚build out🛠 her master closet with a fancy set-up in her condo. In the end, it looked handsome👍,💲cost a pretty penny👎, & reduced her storage in the process👎. Waah! Waah!🤣 😉 I suppose 1 out 3 wouldn't be bad for a minimalist with deep pockets💸. It was a big loss for a woman who loves her fashion, & had lovingly amassed a rather large collection😖. Thought it quite a racket to charge more for a beautiful closet over haul that left the consumer with LESS storage🙄. 💚Bridget from Cali☘️ (using my pal's YT acct)
You are AMAZING! I loved ALL of your great ideas. I loved the light, and the shelves above your clothes bar. Everything you presented was so well thought out and truly a problem in a small closet, of which I have two. Thank you for ALL of your ideas. Tomorrow, I will look at my closet with fresh ideas and I thank you for sharing all of yours.
Kathy this is why I do this! Thank you so much!
Great ideas I loved the idea of putting the noodles inside the purses. They get smashed and out of shape when you want to use them this is a great way to cause them to be able to stand up and not get crunched! Great job!
Love the shoes on the top shelf idea. That area usually ends up a mess
Sure, sure, shoe rack works for tall people!!😂 I can barely reach the shelf in my closet!
AMEN to that!!! I have to keep those RubberMaid “steppie stools” (not the 2-step metal version) it seems like every where. And you know that a man designed where stuff is to be put, since they’re most NOT likely to do it themselves (ie: the shelf over my washer & dryer. Not to mention containers of detergent are heavy when balancing on tiptoes trying to tease the container a little over the edge to grab the handle😁). ✌🏻
I would love to have a closet like that! My house was built in 1949 and the bedroom closets are built into one end of room behind a wall with a door on each end. It goes from end to end but you can only reach into it from the doors and it’s a little wider than the width of the hangers. I would love to take out the wall between the doors to access it all, but the heating vent is in that wall 🤦🏼♀️. Because it’s so hard to access, it’s pretty used to just hang clothes we rarely wear!
What a challenge!
I remember closets like that, and now my grand daughter has bought a house with those kind of closets. I guess in the 30s and 40s they didn't have many clothes, so they were adequate.
Your diy hanger extenders are genius!
I have gone through and donated a bunch of clothes. I do love the same thin hangers that you have. I have wooden ones for my heavy coats. I use a "skirt hanger" like your cami hanger for my bras. Works so well for that. I live in a studio apartment, space is definitely at a premium here. I put my scarves, hat and winter gloves in the compartment hanger. I also put my winter boots in the bottom shelves. Thank you for your vid!
That's a great idea!
I have my old “over- the- door-shoe-rack” holding all my costume jewelry. I am pruning out some of that type of thing and these racks hold several different other items. Thank you for sharing!
So glad you liked it Lydia!
I love the ideas but really appreciate how you store your light remotes. Excellent. ✌️
So glad you got ideas!
I am just finishing up clearing out my closet because it was too chaotic for me! You gave me some good ideas for storing some last-minute items , like jewelry, scarves, etc. Thanks, I'm almost done, and I couldn't be happier!
