Closet Makeover: The Plan


Matt and I desperately need a closet makeover. I talked him into setting aside some time to tackle it next weekend.

Fortunately, we have a large closet. However, we aren't maximizing all the space it provides. We try to keep things folded on the top shelf, but we end up throwing things up there and they get completely disheveled.

Here's the plan:
  1. Get the dimensions of the space we're working with.
  2. Make a model of the space on a piece of graph paper.
  3. Brainstorm different arrangements.
  4. Start looking for organizers from IKEA, The Container Store, and local resale shops.
I'm excited! We gave our bathroom cabinets a makeover a few months ago, and I love it. I can't wait!

    Container Store's closet stuff is awesome! kind of pricey though and they were just on sale. Ikea's are nice also though and a lot more customizable, you can probably find some of the baskets and other pieces on craigslist.

I promise I am open to feedback and truly appreciate hearing others' insights into my choices (it's like free therapy!), but please say it in the same way you would say it if we were sitting across from each other at brunch or next to each other on a park bench while our children play.
