Closet Start: Closet Make Over!

Remember when I posted that project way back when....... I finally got around to it last Sunday! I forgot to take before pictures of the closet but it was so bad its probably better you didn't see it.
The dresser is an actual before picture:)

Okay the closet "before/during"

 

 

THE CLOSET AFTER!!!!!

 

I pulled all my boots out from under the bed and lined them up on the top shelf so I can easily access them. I pulled down all my bins ( from where the boots are now) of Fall/winter clothing (Jeans, chunky sweaters, long sleeves) and placed them on the shelf where I keep all my shorts and skirts and t-shirt dress for the summer.

 

I also put all the Cardigans and short sleeved items on the top rack, then the kinda of "stand alone" shirts button ups and sweatshirts on the bottom rack. I was finding as I was trying things on , that I have clothing that goes missing if it is just in one solid rack and everything clumped in colors.

 

 In the clear container is all of my summer clothes, my shorts, brightly colored skirts and t shirt dress that I pulled of the shelf. In the top drawer are also my sweats and pj's. On top of the clear container is the bag I have for socks and tights gloves. Behind the door ( Not pictured ) are hanging my belts and scarves.

 

Kade's section:

 

This was really the worst part of the closet. Since Kade has most of the bigger drawers in the dresser, he got the smaller section of the closet. His shoes were a huge issue for us,( which in the picture above you can see the have their own new home in a basket under my skirts and dresses)  as well as his riding clothes take up tons of space in the dresser... hence the shelving unit in here....

 

I focused on making the things he wears most, most accessible. So away went his shorts into the bottom drawer where his church shoes block. The second drawer is church sweaters. The top drawer is socks. The black bin is his gym shorts and PJ's.

On the top Shelf where the suit cases and my yoga mat used to be.... Is now his long sleeved shirts and jeans which he is wearing almost everyday now. Most important are his belts all hung up so that they no longer get stuck in the door or I don't step on them.

The Dresser before:

The problem with the dresser is that there were so many items of clothing that we weren't wearing taking up all the drawer space. So I cleaned them all out.  ( hence the trash bag, which when move broke because I shoved so much into it!!)



The Dresser After!!!




All the items that are leaving my closet. I have 4 pairs of jeans that are size 6 that I can no longer wear.... Does anyone want them???

And my project is done!!!!!
