Make the Most of Your Closet

Luckily my apartment came with two closets, because I’ll tell you one thing about living with a guy — they’re messy. And the closet is the worst. What I’ve discovered after having my own closet at my disposal over the past two months was something that surprised me: I, in fact, am a bit messy as well. My well-organized shoe rack turned out to be too much of a hassle, and I’ve started just dumping my shoes into any old spot in the closet as soon as I get home. My special skirt hangars have become more decoration than anything else, because they are over-crowded and shoved somewhere in the back half of the closet where it’s tough to reach.

Something had to change.

So I did a little research. I chose an over-the-door shoe rack which saves floor space and discourages me from throwing my stuff on the floor. I got a great revolving belt hanger that doubles as a tie rack, and some hanging shelf organizers took care of the stray winter clothes and I don’t wear during the summer, but don’t have room to store.

Now maybe I can get around to doing the same thing for the hall closet…
