BEFORE:
I hate to admit that THIS is what we were storing our hats and gloves in last Winter! I mean, really? I'm even laughing while I look at this picture, realizing that I even bothered to label it! Well, needless to say, it was really frustrating digging in this Huggies box trying to find matching gloves...or anything for that matter...so last January I decided to solve the problem.
First, I bought a plastic shoe organizer and some Command hooks.
...and some velcro.
Second, I adhered the hooks to the inside of the closet door & hung the organizer...
Then I added the velcro along the sides & bottom (just every so often) to keep it from swinging & hold it into place better.
...And I had THIS! :)
The next step was to dump the box out & sort the items by family member. You might need a cute little "Helper" like I had:
I put my husband's gloves & hats at the top since he's the tallest. His are on the top two rows.
(And yes, we are Razorback fans!)
My stuff went on the next row down...
And then my son's and my daughter's items went on the botton two rows. It's easy for them to reach & with the clear pockets we can see and access what we have!
AHHhhhhHhhHhhhh...a sigh of relief at this organized space! It's worked really well for us in the past year and will continue to!
Note: I ended up pulling all my scarves out of this closet, but you could roll them & put them in the pockets as well, if you wanted. Since the scarves were all mine, I decided to hang them in my bedroom closet with a scarf hanger.
