Closet Shelves and Cubbies = Organization!

I have a "new" master bedroom closet.

Okay... so it's not really new,

but it sure feels like it.

~~~

First of all, Hubby painted the walls a semi-gloss vanilla. Sounds boring... but I just wanted it bright and neutral.

   

It had been painted a FLAT beige/taupe that absorbed all the light. The cheap light fixture, and it's placement, only adds to the problem.

Poor Hubby thought he was only painting. I didn't want to ask for too much all at once.

Ha... he should know better by now... 'cause then I asked him to remove two sections of the clothes rods.

I know this sounds crazy, but he trusts me :)

But it didn't stop there! I convinced him that I needed shoe shelves... he tried to convinced me that I needed fewer shoes. 

Marriage is full of compromises.

So... while he was making shoe shelves, I was trying to downsize my shoe "collection".  Shhh... I just had to keep some most of them. You will see where they are in just a minute.

My purses are in these bins.
Two or three in each one.

I used to match my shoes to my purses... something that  no one does much anymore.

Yes, I did get rid of some of those too :(

Miscellaneous things are in

the bins in the top shelf.

Moving from left to right,

to the double clothes rod.

Wondering where those extra shoes are?

Why in that brand new trunk that

I picked up at HomeGoods.

I replaced this plastic bin.

With this decorative trunk. 

I am worried that the trunk is too "busy".

What do you think?

Then... moving to the right a little more...

is another bunch of cubbies and bins.

I love organization!

Makes life so much easier...

don't you think?

My socks are sorted by black, white and navy. I also have belts, scarves, and hats in the other bins. Costume jewelry and reading/sunglasses are in the plastic drawer bins.

Of course they are sorted by sub type and also placed in little tiny zip top bags. It makes finding a pair of earrings so easy.

I  will show you the last wall next week...

after I get dresser painted.

Edit: Go here to see next week's post.

Oh... you might be asking where 

are Hubby's clothes.

Well... they are in his closet,

of course!

Thanks for stopping by.

I haven't had much time to work on my blog...

but I have been reading yours. 

I know that all of you are busy too, but try to look at as many of this weeks participants as you can.

Let them know when you stop by...

that make us all feel good :)
