Jan’s Coat Closet
Coat Closet Before
Coat Closet Shelf. Used for storing blankets, a sewing machine, and other miscellaneous items.
The Coat Closet Floor. Used for storing bulk buys of toilet paper, paper towels, and other miscellaneous items.
Before the coat closet, located in the living room beside the downstairs half bath, was being used as a coat closet as well as a storage closet. Because the bathroom has a pedestal sink there was not a lot of room for Jan to store her extra toilet paper that she buys in bulk.
Don’t forget about the wasted space on the door! Command hooks are always a great idea.
Lots of blankets thrown on the top shelf of the closet will always lead to disorganization. Get as big of a bin as you need to put all the blankets in. Also, try to keep the blankets on the ground or at least below eye level so that you can easily put away folded blankets.
Our Coat Closet Organizing Party goers!
This specific project was done in front of an audience during an organizing party. Contact me to find out more details about the benefits of hosting an organizing party.
Coat Closet After
The coat closet floor is now being used for blanket bin storage and mini-vac storage.
The baskets on the door, held on by Command Hooks, are storing winter caps and gloves.
Smaller white bins are storing extra tissue boxes, paper towels, and toilet paper.
Adding one small basket in the bathroom to hold extra toilet paper was a huge help in downsizing on clutter in the closet.
After moving the bulky sewing machine to a better location, preparing extra storage space in the bathroom for toilet paper, utilizing door space, and purchasing a few organizing bins, the coat closet became a functional area Jan and her family as well as guests can full appreciate and use.
