Are you ready to organize your house, one room at a time? Here we go with the master bedroom closet!
Here’s what I use in my closet and where you can buy it:
- Two stackable drawers: the drawer on the right is 12 years old. It’s been through camp and college with me! Sniff. They last forever!
- One basket for socks and bathing suits (odd combo, I know): from Hobby Lobby’s clearance aisle a couple years ago.
- One shoe organizer: from TJ Maxx, about $10
- One basket for scarves and belts: Dollar Tree
- One plastic container for out of season clothes: Target
- Two over the door hooks – one inside the closet for lounge wear, one outside for the next day’s oufit: from TJ Maxx
- One decorative storage box for jewelry: Home Goods, on clearance for $3
- I lined the inside of the drawers with scrap book paper to make them look a little more fancy. If you would like for me to post a tutorial on how I did that, please let me know!
- Having an accessible lint roller is a necessity when you’re a cat owner! It works really well for me where it is.
- My basket for scarves and belts will be much more full when I add my fall and winter things! I like using a plastic basket for scarves – the material won’t snag when I pull anything out of the basket.
- The third picture shows you what I did on the inside of the closet door. I hang my bathrobes and lounge wear on those hooks so I can grab them easily (and also put them away quietly if my husband is still sleeping while I’m getting ready). Those kinds of things just don’t fold nicely, so I gave up trying.
This closet organization system works really well for me. Having a place for everything keeps me from dumping my clothes in piles on the floor (yes, I have been known to do that). I hope that you’ll find some inspiration from my closet!

I love this! I desperately need to organize, so thanks for the inspiration! 🙂
I also have a scarf hanger that I love: http://m.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/art/70108912/
{Mostly I just love a reason to go to IKEA! 🙂 }

It looks like you were able to do this fairly cheaply. Hmmm I think I might need a visit to TJ Maxx soon. My biggest problem, however, is that I don’t actually have a closet. So, right now I have 2 large hampers that I keep my clothes in. As you can imagine, this is really not very convenient for me. Any tips on how I could be more organized without actually having a closet? Thanks, friend! ♥

Oh yes, cheap is my middle name. =) You thought it was Leigh, didn’t cha?
Wow, not having a closet would be a pain….but here’s my first thought. Get something like this:
http://www.containerstore.com/shop?productId=10028635&N=&Nao=0&Ntt=valet
I would look at TJ Maxx for that. I don’t shop at the container store…I just get my inspiration there and find it cheaper somewhere else. This would give you a space to hang at least a few things.
I’d also recommend you get a stackable drawer of some kind, like I have in my closet. Those are great even for underwear, and they aren’t too expensive.
The Dollar Tree is a great place to find organizational tools – but it can be hit or miss sometimes. You might be able to get some smaller bins there that would keep you a little more organized. Having one bin for each type of clothing (tops, jeans, shorts, etc) would probably help.
Hope that gives you some ideas! Thanks for reading! =)

Oooh Thanks friend! That is such a great idea! I had considered stand up closets, but had never thought about some kind of rod that could go on the back of the door. That would make things a lot simpler for me. 🙂 I am going to be on the look out for one of these. And, confession, I sometimes shop at the container store. 🙂

One thing you can do is buy lockers at a thrift shop and use those. Or you can buy or build cube shelves

I found a great scarf hanger at Bed Bath & Beyond this summer. It comes in a two pack so there was one for me and one for my sister. Thought you might be interested in it. 🙂 You can find it here: http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/store/product/Real-Simple-reg-Scarf-and-Belt-Hangers-Set-of-2/1017978144?Keyword=scarf+hanger
