  • 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. ❤

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.

  • 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.

  • 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.)

  • 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 !

  • 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 . 👍

    • 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!! 😂

  • 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 😊

  • 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.

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.

  • 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).

    • 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.

  • 🤗 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)

    • 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!
