Adrien: Secret Shame Update!

After posting about my closet a few weeks ago, I spent some quality time last weekend organizing and moving stuff around. I haven't bought hooks for the back wall yet (unless you count the giant nails left by the former owner. Thanks, lady.) but I'm hoping to do that this weekend. I saw something like this at Target:



And thought it might do this trick. I did, however, buy a large over-the-door hook thingy for my belts:


It's working out nicely for belts but when I tried to hang a couple of my smaller bags it really didn't work - they swing around too much and get tangled up. Then I organized all my clothes by type:


And reordered my storage box things, using the one on the top shelf for my smaller bags:


Here's what the rest of that side looks like:


And I organized my shoes a bit better:



So, baby steps! I still need to root out some of the shoes I don't wear anymore and deal with the hidden tower of shoe boxes that live in the left hand corner that you can't see. I'd also like to get some under-bed storage for all my boots, since they don't earn their keep in the summer.

Sorry, this isn't the most exciting update, is it.

  2. Oh, snap! I'm totally getting those instead. I have trouble with the whole "lining things up evenly" thing but I think we might actually own a laser level. I think.

  3. I have them at my front door and they rule! Some of them come in 2-packs for that price so check em all out.

    If you don't have a level, you can find something long like a broom, hold it to the ceiling against the wall and mark a spot on it where you want them to be. Then slide it along and make little marks with a pencil on the wall!

  4. You just blew my mind with the broom thing. SO SMART!
