Another great option is look in thrift stores for book shelves or dressers you can repurpose for much less... good example i love to use is two walmart book shelves with a curtain rod between is simple and only around 40 bucks !!

I'm already kind of an OCD freak with color-coding my closet and usually sleeve length as well. But this post finally made me accept the fact that I need to get rid of my old or unworn clothes since my weight loss! And maybe get the extra junk out of my closet too :) I have so much clothing that since moving (and gaining a smaller closet because of it) I have a clothing rack and two dressers outside of my standard closet! Thank you all for your closet inspirations! I got a reality check and hopefully after I'll have more space!Brittney OLearyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04323722644915181248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-20104661138284799732012-06-07T10:40:05.175-05:002012-06-07T10:40:05.175-05:00Thank you :-)Thank you :-)Antonia, UKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-59454012518152701952012-06-07T10:30:56.657-05:002012-06-07T10:30:56.657-05:00Such a great transformation.

I would always use plastic containers or bins. If you have and ikea around they have wonderful selections of slim containers. Or you can always order online. Measure your wardrobe and go from there. Bins that stack are great too.ChaoticallyCreativehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14544655160480440743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-12454984232361059782012-06-06T18:44:27.210-05:002012-06-06T18:44:27.210-05:00I think this is a great reminder not to settle for...I think this is a great reminder not to settle for what you buy. We have a house that has all wire shelving. In the boys room it had awkward wire long shoe racks that made it so hard to get into their walk in closets. Needless to say those were the first to go. I also added additional wire shelving in one section where there was just space to hang clothes. Instead of just one shelf there are 5. He had plenty of space for hanging clothes so we utilized the other space by adding more shelving for toy storage. We will however get rid of all the wire shelving in the Master and do pre-fab closet cabinets.ChaoticallyCreativehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14544655160480440743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-37765148739559855272012-06-06T18:41:22.635-05:002012-06-06T18:41:22.635-05:00When I did my two systems at my previous home I us...When I did my two systems at my previous home I used a system they carried at lowes but now it's at Home depot. I just measured out the space and the pieces and went from there. I do believe I had to cut some shelves down but it wasn't a huge deal. It really is pretty easy. I think mine was also Closetmaid.ChaoticallyCreativehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14544655160480440743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-39843366283545501692012-06-06T17:09:15.785-05:002012-06-06T17:09:15.785-05:00I measured out the actual before usage.

The Closetmaid system on the right is adjustable, to accommodate almost any width. I planned out the possible systems on paper, and measured out the new usage. For example, 20 feet shelving, 13 1/2 feet hanging. I then remeasured everything to make sure it would actually fit.<br />Hope this helps!strongbasilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12930818270405974511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-42594666826473536072012-06-06T16:56:01.215-05:002012-06-06T16:56:01.215-05:00One of the drawers I installed was empty, but you ...One of the drawers I installed was empty, but you can't see it any of these photos.

They look like a huge amount of storage across one entire wall, but actually there is a chimney behind two of the doors and only narrow shelving there. I fold items on those shelves, but they always fall out and look a mess. I'd love any suggestions for what sort of containers would work to keep slim spaces tidy?Antonia, UKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-15478084263848359212012-06-06T14:37:16.798-05:002012-06-06T14:37:16.798-05:00This looks so great!

Should I lay out what items I have? Sketch it then hope I can find a system to fit? Custom closet designers online?
