New Year New Closets

Over the holiday, some of you went skiing, others headed South for some warmth and sunshine. I went back in time, inside my closets. Oh my!  This project was difficult (I have six closets), but it did spark joy!   After giving away 58 pairs of black pants, 55 pairs of pumps, and so much more, I now have new closets. These chic and clever closet organizers will give your own closets new life.

 

Velvet Hangers

Besides emptying every single item from each closet, these hangers are the most important piece any closet transformation. Clothing stays put, even silk pieces. They are a must! And be sure to hang everything in the same direction. The Container Store. or Pottery Barn where you can buy 50 for $59.

Handwoven Seagrass Baskets

These responsibly made and handcrafted baskets, are almost too good looking to hide away in a closet. But they would make me so happy when I opened the door to my charcoal grey closet cabinets. Use one for belts, stockings, socks, gloves, spare pillows and more. They are so attractive.

Colleen Lopez Jewelry Storage

My jewelry closet is the downfall of my custom closets. Five shelves, not lit, without specific storage space for bracelets, rings, etc. These slim cases do more that store stylishly. They also keep your jewelry from getting tarnished, with a special treated lining. They come many colors.  I love that you can see what is in each case. Great for stacking, too!
