Hallway Closet

Week 3: The Hallway Closet.  My closet, like every other space in my house, is an unorganized mess.  

BEFORE

 AFTER

I love to find stuff around my house to reuse somewhere else.  These two old fabric bins were not really serving a purpose in my basement so what better place to use them than in our closet.  The labels are chalkboard labels from Martha Stewart.

 I keep hats and gloves in one bin and scarves in another.

I bought matching wooden hangers which are more sturdy for our heavy coats.

As for my door, of course I had to put it to storage use since we need the space.  The Container Store is having a 30% off sale on all elfa shelving so I had to get some for myself.

 Boy am I glad I purchased elfa shelving.  I now have all of my wrapping paper, tissue paper, gift bags, cards, and ribbon all in one location.

 I finally have my own wrapping station which is perfectly located and discretely hidden.  It also doesn't take up much space.

I also keep my vacuum and shampooer in the hallway closet since it is in the center of the house.  

I didn't do too much to organize this closet and it didn't take long, but the little I did makes a big impact.  Not only did I organize it I also made a new "space" for my gift supplies!
