I am so excited about today’s post! I’ve been keeping it a secret since before Christmas and I’m so happy to finally be able to share it with you!
If you are a regular reader, you may know that my hubby and I are working a little at a time to update our 50 year old home. Although our home was by no means an “official” fixer-upper when we bought it, it has needed some updating to bring it out of the 1960’s.
All the closets in the house had a single rod with a single or double shelf across the top. Here’s what the closets in the master bedroom looked like. Yikes. Not very dreamy for an organization lover.
As you can see, the shoe situation in my hubby’s closet was not much of a problem. He’s not a man of many shoes. Dress shirts however? C.r.o.w.d.e.d! I stopped ironing his shirts after they were laundered because they get so squished and wrinkled in his closet. Unfortunately, that added stress in the morning when he was getting ready for work because he had to iron his shirts every day. Yes, he irons. Does he like it? NO.
The top shelves in his closet became stuff collectors. Since almost everything he keeps in his closet hangs, the shelves were pretty useless. I put baskets in the top to hold extra sheets, but we never used them, so it was time to do some purging!
My closet, besides being crowded with all the clothes on a single rod, had a major problem with shoes. I had a divided shoe organizer shoved into the bottom corner, but it was not easy to access behind the clothes.
I saved my boot boxes to store them during the warmer weather months so they didn’t get dusty, but I seriously hated having those bulky boxes on the floor of my closet.
I used baskets and bins to help organize the top shelves a bit, but let’s face it: these closets needed a lot of help!
You may remember last year when I did an EasyClosets makeover in my girls’ room. The closet has been perfect for them, and it still looks just like the “after” pictures I showed last year.
Well, I’m so happy to tell you that I’ve teamed up with EasyClosets once again to get these master closets under control! You’ll have to wait until tomorrow for the reveal, but I will give you a few sneak peeks:
Check back tomorrow for the reveal and a BIG annoucement! Don’t miss it!
Hi Ginny,
Even though the storage situation is less than ideal – you still did a good job organizing it. 🙂
That being said – I can’t wait to see what the big surprise is tomorrow!
We have the exact closets in our master bedroom! Cant wait to see the reveal tomorrow!
Hi Ginny! What I love best about EasyClosets is that it looks like a normal organized “lived in” closet and not something out of a showroom. You have definitely demonstrated that you can have the things that you need and love and still organize it to suit your every day needs and without having to spend a ton of money or even hire a professional! If I were to win your $1,000 EasyCloset makeover, I would makeover the entire families closets. We have three closets in our house, which we do make work but I hope to make them a little more organized so my boys had more room for their sports equipment and maybe a little more room for my sweaters 🙂
I would most likely organize the master bedroom closet. I need help with a lot of organization. This is a great giveaway. Thanks.
Good job Ginny! I am impressed with what you have done. I will have my closet ready by 2 weeks. My room is all messed up and I have nobody to help me. I have called a guy in Toronto who works at Space Age to get my closet done. Hopefully, my things will be more organised after my closet is ready. Keep writing Ginny 🙂
My closet is so full, I can’t get the doors shut. I’d love to win a closet organization set.
Catching this post super late 2 years later is this contest still in? Either way I woild like to see the cost ect, cant find it
