Everyone's Favorite Weekend Project...Closet Organization!

On Monday, I had a client who was in need of some closet organization.  She just moved into a new home and her previous methods weren't working out for her, so what better time to start with a clean slate?  We figured out some new organizing products that fit into her budget and got to work!

If you're on a tight budget and looking for some organizing products that are going to make your closet organizing product a snap, here are the basics I'd recommend to get your started:

• A set of nice, new hangers.  They can be plastic, nice felted ones (my favorite because your clothes won't fall off!), or top of the line cedar...whichever you choose, go monochromatic.  It gives your closet a much neater look.
• Shoe organizers.  Count up your shoes and find an organizer that fits your closet, budget, and style.  Digging through shoe piles in the middle of your closet floor can really ruin a morning.
• Hanging sweater organizer.  You shouldn't hang your nice knits because it will stretch them out.  Get a hanging organizer (seen above) to nicely fold your knits and keep them in plain sight for easy retrieval.
• Plastic garment bags for rarely worn items.  Isn't it the worst when you pull out a dress or suit the morning of the big event to find it covered in dust and lint?  Eliminate that problem with a cheap solution.  Buy some garment bags that hold several items and hang them in the back of your closet.  They will be fresh and ready whenever you need them!
• A laundry sorter.  An absolute must in my house, these handy 3 bin organizers allow you and your family to sort the laundry as you throw it in the bin.  Voila!  No more tedious sorting on laundry day!
