Organizing Your Closets

by Debbie Williams

For most closet organizing projects, you have four choices: hang it, put it in a drawer, store it on the floor, or shelve it.

Getting Started
Gather several boxes labeled: To Keep, To Trash, To Sell, Undecided.

Begin sorting. Don't try to find a place for everything until your items are sorted. Group your items by category: shirts, pants, shorts, tee shirts, jeans, sweats. Decide what will be folded, what will be placed on hangers, what will go into drawers.

By planning wisely during your sorting process, you have eliminated the need for many storage items. Use what you have around the house, then buy specific sizes for the articles you need to organize.
