I straightened up the entryway coat closet to get my closet-mojo a flamin’ for The Masked Mommy’s Closet Pow-Wow.
Okay, I re-eeally want to post my bedroom closet but she, yes she, (I decided my bedroom closet is female), is still being tackled. Tune back in for the before and afters of la closet de bedroom.
So on with the entryway…
Before Photos:
Slumpy coats, trashy stairs and oh my the shoes...
Really? Does a motorcycle helmet need to be at a fingertips reach all winter long...in Minnesota?
The many seasons of clutterama.
After Photos:
Keeping it real clause: the white bin was just moved up a few steps...without being sorted.
Handbag storage is my new Must-Have!
The leather "cube" stores snow pants and blankets and serves as a spot to sit down during shoe removal. (The curtains are still in test mode...not meant for show)
Wire basket for mail, bins for seasonal gear, shallow wicker basket for little shoes
I used black lower case letter stickers to label each bin. j, m, r and p, of course!
May joy and peace surround you, contentment latch your door...
So I did a bit more than just my closet. My entryway coat closet just needed some breathing room so it took over a slice of the living room.
I am so glad it did!
Okay, okay! I know…here is the side-by-side top-by-bottom…
Thanks to all of you that showed your support as I geared up for the pow-wow. I am still in the mode…now if only I had a bit more time and energy.
Such is life!
Love,
Jess
I am not a MN lotto freak….a free key chain, is a free key chain, right?
Yay! Good for you! It looks so much better! Keep working on your bedroom closet, too. You’ll feel so much better when it’s done! And you can link up until the Mr. Linky goes away (which is I think until I post a new one). I love your style. Very cute in a classy way
I was just thinking… I was originally lured over to your blog by your name (how could I NOT check out “Messy Jessie’s” blog???) but it was kinda false advertising because your home is absolutely beautiful! I’m still in awe over your laundry room makeover. But I can’t stop coming here. I love your blog
Have a great weekend!
It looks great! When can you come to TX to help me get organized
Miss you all! K
What a fantastic makeover! You definitely put a lot of thought into it from adding in some necessary storage to keep things organized and out of the way to the storage ottoman where you can sit to put on shoes. I like how you added the bins with the names and the actual closet looks so much better! I hope that you are able to feel good about keeping up with this system! Nice work!
