Are your closets a mess? Check out my latest blog! j

This week I want to talk about your CLOSETS!!!!  You know - those areas you don't want anyone to see including yourself!  I bet most of you can say that your closets are in overload and you have no clue what to do except close the door and pray it stays shut!  A lot of problem closets are due to the lack of organization.  If you design your closet well you will have a place to put things.  I know you might also have a problem with clutter but we are focusing on DESIGN so lets just tackle that today! :)

Most homes have closets with one pole and one shelf above it.  Does this describe your closet???  No wonder it is a mess!!  This is the worst design imaginable.  The picture above gives you a great example of well used closet space.  Even if you have a small closet you can design it to work well!  If you look at some pictures of different closets you can get a number of ideas.  OK, but hiring a closet company to come in is not budget minded - you still have options!  You can go to Home Depot or Lowes and they have an entire aisle devoted to this concept.  You can choose from wire racks or wood and if you are somewhat handy you can organize that closet without spending a fortune.  You don't have to do all of them at once - just try one at a time!

I have designed many closet spaces so if you get stuck, give me a call!  Have fun getting organized! j
