Closet Makeover- Men's Edition

I've never attempted to makeover a man's closet, but I thought to myself, What difference could there be? But there is.... it's the EASIEST thing I've done! Men can be so generic, they stick to certain clothing and get it in every color, especially this guy...and you'll see what I mean! I hope that seeing this will inspire you to want to re-do your husband's, father's, boyfriend's or whoever's closet! Time spent: 4 1/2 hours.


The system that was being used before had collapsed, 
leaving everything on the floor and a rack. 


Some clothes didn't make the cut into living in this closet. :(


BEFORE PHOTOS- A man's idea of great storage!


The back of this wall is drywall, so we had to use special hardware 
to keep it from collapsing. What's great about this system is that the brackets are removable and you can design the setup anyway you like! ClosetMaid ShelfTrack Closet Organizer Kit- available at Home Depot: Click here ( prices vary depending on size of closet)




AFTER PHOTOS


It's always a great thing to see your carpet. 


Stackable shoe racks are available anywhere. 
I used two racks here from Home Depot at $14.97 each- Click here


Of course, I have to color coordinate the sweaters, dark to light!

Before

This is a NO NO. I hung the ties on a tie rack that also 
hooks onto the wire shelf very easily, making it convenient. (below)


 After

POLOS, POLOS, POLOS! Can this guy have enough?!

These felt hangers were great space savers and light-weight. Heavy hangers would 
have added more weight. We don't want this closet to collapse again! 


RealSimple Slimline Hangers available HERE! 
A box of 50 for $29.99!


HAPPY ORGANIZING!!

Closet Makeover

Organizing, organizing, organizing! It is the BEST feeling to walk into your closet and having no trouble finding the outfit you're looking for! That was not the case with this beautiful walk-in but we were able to clean it up and actually see the floor! We made all clothing, shoes available and visible so she can't miss a thing! I hope you like the turnout and are inspired to have your closet makeover!

AFTER, A visible floor!

A stool in your closet makes anything on the top shelf reachable.

I had the luxury of having sections already made in this closet so it made sectioning clothing easy! We seperated dresses onto one rack and tops onto another!
Baskets add a touch of elegance but also makes storing easier. Whatever you decide to store inside, it's easier to carry down the basket itself rather than pulling for that item, which may result in the whole pile to fall down. For example, we stored his and her cardigans inside these baskets. (Above and Below)
Purses are stored along side the baskets, visible and not in cardboard boxes.
Folding sweaters look presentable and save the fabric from ripping when you hang them.
Extra storage for scarves, belts, flip-flops, etc. Each drawer is labeled with what is inside with my Handy- Dandy Labelmaker!
HAPPY ORGANIZING!
