I posted about my half of the master closet here last year, but we’ve upgraded it a bit since then, and I am so excited to have it even more functional.

This corner with the small dresser had so much un-utilized space above it that I wanted to take advantage of, so…

We bought 2 of these 4 drawer kits and voila…

We were able to fit 7 of the 8 drawers in the space, and it gives me so much more storage, and it’s adjustable if my needs change.

Also, when I last posted about my closet, I had used a temporary, adjustable double hanging rod for my hanging clothes, but I wanted a permanent one, and for very little cost, we bought a shelf and rod set and installed it.

My husband cut down the shelf to the size I wanted it, so I would still have a little room for extra long items.

Everything was around $150, and now I have just what I need to organize my clothing items, and since I don’t have a linen closet, a place to store extra towels and washcloths for the master bathroom.

I love having double hanging space because it really utilizes the available space well.

We’ve used it in both my daughter’s closet and the boys’ as well, and the two younger ones can reach their clothing more easily.

You really don’t have to have a huge space to be able to corral lots of clothing items, and yet still be organized.

  1. Looks fantastic, Margo! You must be thrilled with it. :)

  2. Looks amazing. It was just the nudge I needed to buy those drawer kits and organize my own closets! Oh that my closet would look like that! :-)

  3. Margo,

    Great job. I’m an organzing junkie. I must have been born that way, because I did even as a small child.

    I’m visiting from the Show and Tell linky party. I hope that you can stop by my blog as well. :)

    Thanks for sharing,
    Laura

  5. Love all these closets! They look organized and functional. Megan

  6. Great organization, love how the closets turned out. Saw your post on Simply Sensational link party.

  7. It is soooo much easier to get ready every day when you can 1) See the floor in your closet and 2) Find your clothes. I am working on our closet this weekend, thank you for the awesome inspiration!!!

  8. Wish my closet was that organized.

  9. The closet looks awesome!! Thanks for coming to our “Strut Your Stuff Saturday.” We hope you’ll be back soon! -The Sisters

  10. I like what you did.

  11. Organizing makes me happy – love what you have done!!

  12. That turned out great!! I’m definitely going to be utilizing this upstairs for my daughters’ closest! I found ya via Someday Crafts blog hop!

  13. I really like the idea, but where I live they are very expensive to buy. I use other cheaper options instead.

  14. Just in case you wanted to switch it–my party goes up on Sunday.

    I am featuring you today.

  15. Great closet! Thanks for linking up, I am going to feature you tomorrow for my link party, week 18.

  16. I always feel so much better when my closet’s freshly organized. I’m glad y’all found a solution for those longer clothes. That’s always been a challenge in my little girl’s room. Would you mind posting a link to my Making Space Monday’s linky party?

  17. the closet looks fantastic and I LOVE the wire baskets from Ikea! I am getting ready to work on a closet kit for my sister-in-law, so I definitely might have to consider those!

  18. Wow, the basket is amazing. I definitely need one of those, I practically live in a dress boutique! Need a lot of organization.
