Wow. This post feels so personal. So revealing. So intimate.
I do not have a large closet. It is not a walk in closet. In order to stretch the space I rotate my seasonal clothing, so for now, my summer clothes are up in the attic.

I recently switched out what was in the hanging thing. I used to put sweaters in there but I recently made that my purse holder with few sweatshirts in the extra spaces.
Also I recently gave an old TV the boot and I claimed this armoir as my own. I rotate shoes (in boxes), sweaters and scarves. I plan on finding a way to hang scarves. I have outgrown my storage box! I’m thinking of stringing a ribbon inside the doors and draping them over that. We’ll see.

I welcome any tips on how I can better use my space! Leave me a comment!
I’m linking with these other bloggers below! Check out what their closets look like. My guess is that they are bigger than mine!
No kidding on the scary intimate…I had to do a quick clean and make sure anything really personal was peaking out. As for tips when you have a smaller space, in my old house, I had a book shelf that I made into shoe storage so that I had more space in the closet.
I really felt like I was posing for pictures in my underwear! *scary!* Thanks for stopping by!
I can totally appreciate that! My closet is in my home office and during inspections there is the fear that every drawer and door is opened. Closets are pretty personal 🙂
Yes they are and all of them have a skeleton or two! ha!
I love the idea of the armoire for extra storage. Huggable Hangers are the black velvet ones (I think they used to sell them at Costco) – they are slim and take up less space, plus your clothes don’t slide off. Have a great weekend!
I may have to ask for them for Christmas! Thanks for enlightening me!
I like the hanging organizer that your purse fits into. That is a great way to store them and makes them easy to access.
It is very handy! It was a hand me down but I love it now!
Really like the use of an armoire in the closet. I don’t have anywhere to put one but OH IF I DID!
Oh Leslie, it’s not *in* my closet! It’s next to my dresser but it extends my closet!
lol I hear you, It felt super personal to me too but LOVE seeing what all the other closets look like!
Me too Shaunacey! I really enjoyed seeing what everyone’s closets look like as well. What a great idea!
I love hanging shelves…. I used to use quite a few before I changed my closet up. Such an easy way to add more space to a closet!
Thanks Sarita! They sure have come in handy!
I like the resourcefulness of use the armoir. Great idea!
Thank you Carrie! You know what they say…”Necessity is the mother of invention!”
I agree with Lana, huggable hangers, it’s the only thing I use…they are the best! I don’t know if I could do the rotating my clothes out, although I guess come Spring/Summer when you get those clothes out it’s like Christmas and getting new clothes. Hmm….
I don’t have a choice. I just done’t have the room. We did it growing up too so I’m used to it. Yes, it’s true. It does feel like Christmas when you go through the clothes that have been in storage. It’s also a great way to stay on top of cleaning your closet out because as you pull things out to decide whether or not to keep it down our put it up you also decide whether to keep it at all!
