It has been waaaaay too long since I showed you guys some amazing Before & After pictures!!
Well, hopefully these next few will make up for it....
A recent client wanted an overhaul on 3 closets in her home: her 2 sons' closets and her master closet.
Space #1: Big Brother's Room
Her oldest son had a *lot* of clothes that he had outgrown, and that needed to be sorted & stored for his little brother. He also needed a system going forward, so that this wouldn't repeat itself in the future.
The navy bin is now a *keepsake bin* while the others hold misc. items for her son |
Once the (too small) clothes were cleared out, there was quite a bit of free space! |
A look at the whole space. Quite a difference! |
We took the drawer cart from the baby's room, and repurposed it. Now, when he outgrows something, it can go right in these drawers - labeled by size - to hand down to baby brother. |
Space #2: Baby Brother's Room
As mentioned before, this little boy had a *lot* of clothes coming his way from his big brother. They are about 3 years apart in age (and size!), so we needed a temporary holding spot for said clothes. Simple solution: place clothes in a bin by size and slap a label on there as an easy reference :)
I used adhesive chalkboard labels because they are the easiest to change as the boys grow! |
Space #3: Master Closet
The master closet didn't need a ton of work, just a bit of decluttering and categorizing. For "Her" side, I organized the shoes using shelf helpers. My client cleared out a lot of clothes that weren't worn/didn't fit, and we made sure to find a new home for miscellaneous items that didn't belong.
Lots of miscellaneous items from the floor found a new home! Either the trash can, donation pile, or another room in the house.
On "His" side, I categorized items on the shelves into sweaters, workout items, jeans, etc. Some went in bins and others went in drawers. I used the shelf helpers for his shoes as well.
Those woven bins now hold t-shirts and pullovers; hopefully this will help them stay more organized. As with any makeover, the key is *maintenance!* It takes 2 seconds to throw something on the floor, and about 5 seconds to put it where it belongs.
In total, these transformations took about 6 hours total. My client was in & out of the house, running errands and picking kids up from school. Let me know if you'd like to schedule a session today!
