The closet. What to do? Here are some common problems and simple solutions: 1. The closet door is never shut! Try
painting the inside of your closet an interesting color that contrasts
nicely with the walls in the room. That way, people will only remark
on the color. You'll never have to shut the closet door again! 2. I can never find what I'm looking for! Hang similar clothes together. This may or may not be helpful, but this is how clothing in my closet is organized (from right to left, why not):
The genius of this layout, if I do say so myself, is that all of the short garments are on one end. This leaves plenty of room below to store shoes, etc (i.e, more shoes!). OK,
so what this tells you is that I'm basically a freak when it comes to
organizing my clothes. But this is why: I've probably wasted the
equivalent of 2 years of my life looking for clothes. Then it occurred
to me that I wasn't getting any younger, and I decided I'd rather not
spend any more years of my life trying to find my clothes. It took awhile to get the closet set up this way, but now it's easy to maintain. Besides,
it makes me late when I can't find my clothes. The only alternative to
organizing my closet is for me to show up at places on time but
half-dressed, and that wouldn't be good for anyone. 3. I don't have enough hangers for everything! Ah,
a sure sign that it's time to thin out your wardrobe. Instead of
buying a 10-pack of hangers, find 10 items of clothing to donate to
Goodwill. 4. What about organizing things other than clothes? |
