Closet Organization - Before and After

Messy closets.

We all have them. Well, maybe not everyone, but I have them!

And I'm ready to be done with it. So the other day, I decided to take back control!

Let's look at a look at some before pictures of my hall closet...

Yes, that's just a pile of STUFF at the bottom...

And now let's peek around that corner....

More stuff.

I started by clearing the entire closet out.

You may have seen this picture on my last blog post. Apparently, I have a few bags and purses!

And look at the bags that I have from lululemon...

I don't think I need to buy a new bag or purse for awhile.

I got rid of a ton of stuff....a pack-n-play, a magic set that hasn't been used in a few years, a window fan that was broken, and even more!

After I removed the things we weren't keeping, it left room for things to go back in a much more organized fashion.

Let's look at some 'after' pictures...

Isn't that crazy!? I even had room to put all of my camera equipment on the top shelf {instead of the dining room floor where it has lived for the last year}.

After getting rid of some bags, I added 4 big hooks to help organize the rest of my bag 'collection'.

One hook holds a bag full of sinch sacks. Another hook holds my leather purses. Another hook holds fabric bags and the last hook holds all of my lululemon reusable bags.

4 hooks. And total bag organization.

There is still stuff at the end of the closet. But this time it's very organized.
