Getting ready...or trying

So...if you've been watching my YouTube videos, then you know that I'm in my 29th week of pregnancy and I have been trying valiantly to get the nursery in order. This is the closet that I have been working on since...we found out I was pregnant. These pictures are just a hint at the chaos that I'm facing.

     . Most of this stuff (all of it really) does not belong to me. It is either the BF's or the roommate's. I'm not in the mood to deal with it. I've got a few ideas of what I want to with this closet, including taking out that bar the clothes are hanging on. I've been looking at Ikea for their closet systems, along with Home Depot and Lowes, but I think that I'm hooked on Ikea. Easy to customize, quick to pick up and go...plus I love Ikea. Now, I know that changing out a closet in an apartment might not seem the most cost conscious, but I plan to be in this unit for a minute, at least until I graduate, so it would be worth the money. Also, I can take the units with me when I move...so win win!

This is the other side of the closet, but it's going to be my work storage for crafts and stuff, so this won't count towards my mad rush to get ready.

So this is just a precursor to what is to come. I have an entire room to get into order.


Lord...I hope I'm up to it.

Closet Organization

 

Closet organization:

I have to preface this by saying I’m not in my dream closet. Not even close, but I make it work for me. I’m just awesome like that.

Let me start by saying that I’m a bit neurotic with my organizing. I start by putting everything in a category. Tops are broken into Sleeveless…short sleeved…3/4 sleeved…long sleeved

Pants are a bit more complicated: dress pants then casual, further broken into lengths, then into colors

Dresses go from short to long. I wear blazers and such, so those go in the same order. Vests to long sleeve blazers.

Once that is set up, we break it into colors. I use the ROYGBIV method, which works for me. Since black, white and brown are not in that, I put them first. So that means: white—> gray —> brown—> black—> red—> orange—> yellow—> green—> blue—> indigo—> violet

(Does the shelf look like it’s bowing? Maybe I should invest in a closet system…)

I always know when someone is in my closet and I get extremely pissed if someone messes it up in any way. I refuse anyone’s help with laundry…

Don’t judge…it works for me.

The clothes all go to the right, since I’m right handed. There are clothes that get folded and I have specific drawers for that as well. All bras in one, socks in another, sexy lingerie in one, lounge clothes in a different one. Having worked for several clothing stores, I have developed a particular way to fold my clothes as well. Again, don’t help me if you can’t pick it up. I won’t be upset.

Don’t judge…it works for me.

If I can, I put my heavy coats in a different place all-together, esp. if they are winter coats.

I put my shoes on a bookshelf, which I plan to upgrade to something bigger in my next place. Once that happens, I’ll organize them according to style and color. I also put my purses on a bookshelf. I need to organize them better though. I have plans when I have the space, but for now, this is working for me.

Looking at the pictures I’m not impressed with my closet. I mean…it’s functional, but not what I’m really looking for. Pictures…they tell a story your eyes don’t want to see.

So my question to you ladies is: What do your closet’s look like?
