I was trying to give you a little time so you could gasp and judge me, but I will give you a bit more.
I know it's deplorable.
I know it's terrible television, but I have already established that my television tastes aren't that high.
In my own life, I cannot stand gossip and drama, but for some reason watching these two faced women flip tables and argue over if someone is lying about having asthma just fascinates me.
Often in a typical Real Housewives episode, a housewife will be in her closet getting ready, picking out clothes, and recapping the day's drama with her husband.
As I watch these scenes, I really struggle with envy.
Am I envious over the designer clothes, purses, and shoes.
No! C'mon I'm a Goodwill queen!
When I watch these scenes, I drool over the closet organization. It's so pretty, neat, and organized!!!!
Will I ever have a Real Housewives giant organized closet? No, probably not, but I can make my closet pretty, neat, and organized.
I wish I had a before picture to put right here, but I don't have one. When I started the closet makeoever, I just planned on purging my closet, but then one thing led to another, my ADDD kicked in, and the next thing I knew I was painting everything pink!
Because I purge regularly, I didn't expect to purge my closet much, but this time I decided to only keep clothes that I wear often. When I purge, I normally ask, "Have I worn this in the past year," but this time I asked, "Have I worn this more than five times in the past year?"
As all the bags piled up, I couldn't believe the difference, but I loved my stream lined closet.
In addition to my closet, I have a dresser of clothes, but with this purge, I cleaned out the dresser and put every item of clothing in the closet.
My closet looked so much better with fewer clothes in it, but the closet was a boring space and that's when I knew I needed to make it over.
In my normal state, I am a messy person just ask my mom. I have learned though if I make something pretty, I will keep it clean. It seems crazy to make a space pretty where the door stays closed all the time, but I knew if my closet was pretty, I would keep it clean. No one will ever see it but me, but isn't that enough? I am worth a pretty closet!!!
I decided to start with the top of the closet and all that wasted space. The walls in the closet are plaster so I knew a shelf would be too much weight on the crumbly walls. If the space couldn't be functional, it might as well be pretty.
A sign with my favorite word would be perfect for the space, and a few hooks made it an awesome necklace holder.
Before, my necklaces just laid around the room or shoved inside a box. Now, I love that I can see all my necklace options now as I pick out my outfit.
I hung all my belts on the hooks that were already in the closet. Just ignore the magnetic circle things. I am taking them down.
Originally, I put my earrings in those containers, but I need to see the earrings more. I think I am just taking the containers down and trying something different.
I tried the circles on the side, but I don't like that either because I need symmetry. If you have any ideas or see any pins to help please send them my way.(Here is my pinterest. )
I'm already working on the bottom of the closet, and I will show that later. For now though, here is my progress.
No, my closet is not Real Housewives worthy yet, but it is much better than before.
This sign organizes my necklaces, but also serves as a good reminder every morning of my favorite word and my life's goal.
