Here's the before...
and then transformed...
I spent several solid hours sorting through the outdated and unwanted un-needed things. It was all worth it in the end. My little walk in closet is now fun to walk into. I can see everything I have and better put outfits together. So long to sweatpants and hoodies, which all started because I simply couldn't find things to wear together.
My advice in tackling this is to make one bin for throw away, one for donating, and coordinating sections, ie., tops, bottoms, outerwear. Then break it down further by
Tops
- tank tops
- short sleeves
- long sleeves
Dresses
- dresses with short sleeves
- long sleeves
Pants (goes on the bottom rack)
- skirts
- jeans
Jackets
- coats
- lighter jackets
- dressy jackets
Scarves
Belts
Accessories
- necklaces
- watches and bracelets
- earrings
- casual bracelets
- hair clips
Accessory Wall using a Pegboard
What a simple and inexpensive way to organize and showcase my accessories! I had NO IDEA I had this many necklaces..I keep buying them thinking I didn't have any. It's easier now than ever to coordinate accessories with outfits.. and fun too!
Here's how I did it.
- 2x4 pegboard from Home Depot $7 (cut to your specific measurement. mine was 1.5'x4')
- pegboard accessories kit $7
- power drill
- leveler
This kit comes with 6 screws and space savers which are a time saver from make my own spacer from wood blocks. Insert one of these into each corner of the pegboard and two on the middles sides for support.
You can even put a coat of pain on the board to jazz it up. I thought about it, but prefer the white that the board came with.
Here's what it would look like with paint. This is my other pegboard used for my crafting supplies. I just love using these to organize!
So there you have it! It was a laborious task, but made enjoyable with a bottle of champagne and my Pandora radio!
