On the left, we have hooks lining the wall to hang coats, and a Mini Utility Bin on the shelf to hold scarves, gloves, and other cold weather accessories. Below the shelf is another set of hooks where I now hang my Organizing Pack that holds my camera gear and my Cindy Tote, which I take to work everyday. The plastic bin on the floor holds all of our reusable grocery bags.
Now let’s check out the right side:
The very top shelf that goes all the way across the closet houses seasonal craft supplies. The top shelf on the right side now holds all of our family photo albums, which were previously in a big cardboard box on the floor of this same closet. It’s so nice to have them out where we can look through them any time we want.
The middle shelf houses all of our games. These were in boxes in the basement. Now they are at our fingertips, so we can use them more often! As a matter of fact, just this past Sunday night, we had a family game night because Marley was so excited to have her games back!
The bottom shelf and the floor space below house cleaning supplies and dog items. I’m using an Organizing Utility Tote for all of my cleaning supplies. I can grab and go to clean the whole house, then replace the bag in the closet when I’m finished. The Medium Utility Bin on the floor holds all of the dog towels, flea spray, leashes and brushes.

Wow, great use of the space!
Oooh, love the hooks in there!! It looks great. It took me like 8 days to tidy up my bedroom closet, LOL. Amazing that such a small space can take so much work… but afterward, it’s SO worth it!!
Wow, what an amazing transformation!! I especially love that you have easy access to your lint rollers! I’ve got two long-haired dogs and am forever searching for a lint roller right before I go out the door.
I can also totally relate to your before picture with all the ribbon hanging everywhere. My craft closet looks like that right now! Maybe I’ll get to it someday…
Found you via the Him & Her “Tell Me Tuesday” linky party and am following you now via FeedBurner. Thanks for sharing!
Kirsten, newest follower here. Thanks for linking up with me too. I am loving lots of your organization posts. My coat closet looks a lot like your “before” shot. Time for me to get to work. 🙂
Thanks so much! We love it 🙂
We worked on this all month but the end result is SO worth it, I agree!
Thanks Laura! Yes, those lint rollers get used a LOT – we have 2 black labs who shed like crazy 🙂
Thanks for following Shan!
Nice do-over…that must feel good to have that done and organized. I’ll catch up to you on another link up party, cheers, Lisa
Thanks Lisa! It does feel so good to have that mess gone 🙂
