this weekend i tackled my bedroom closet. i went with kim’s philosophy for cleaning my closet. i got down and dirty with it. i pulled everything out. all my clothes, shoes, handbags, scarves, papers and books. why i had books in my closet i’m not sure. i wanted to start with a clean slate. after i threw everything on the bed and floor, i started sorting.
i created four piles {spring/summer, donate, repair, and keep}. i was a tough cookie with my sorting. if i hadn’t worn it in a year, i donated it. my closet was out of control and i knew the only way i could wrangle it back in was to drastically reduce the amount of stuff that i kept. so i was brutally honest and even used ryan for reinforcement. if i questioned an article of clothing, i asked ryan and he either told me it was “too old lady” or “just ok”. both responses i took as an insult and threw it to the donate pile.
here’s what i started with.
and here’s what i ended with.
{btw. i seriously need to get a camera. my iphone isn’t cutting it anymore.}
i pulled storage bins from an old closet to use for all my scarves and leggings. i found old fabric bins to corral all my wallets and clutches. all my handbags got emptied and reorganized on my top shelf. most importantly, everything now has a home. wonder how long it’ll be before it looks like this again?
It looks awesome! I had a little giggle about the “just ok” and “too old ladyish”, my husband will make the same remakrs and the ok one drives me crazy!
