There are a few things that get under my skin and my closet was one that was just getting to me last summer!
BEFORE
AFTER
WOW – could you feel the POSITIVE energy and the burden lifted off your shoulder when you saw the second picture?? I experience it every time I relook at these pictures.
Yes, I am a unique person – not everyone is as cool as me, to think of photographing Before & After pictures of my closet!!
IF you are inspired by these pictures – make sure you buy GOOD hangers. I personally prefer the ones that have the two openings on the top to hang tank tops,sleeveless tops/dresses or hook the plastic/fabric pieces (inside some tops) onto! You also want to make sure you get hangers that are wide enough to hang tops that have big openings! You may think I’m crazy, but laugh now and experience what I’m talking about if you run out and don’t buy the perfect hangers!!
When I was buying my six packages of hangers at Wal Mart, my husband was having a “man” moment! I think they were born with the instict to natter their partners, in hopes that we will get so annoyed that we won’t spend the money or buy the thing(s) we found at the store!!
“You don’t really need to buy hangers”
“What is wrong with the ones you have”
“They are just hangers Robyn, no one looks in your closet to see if they are matching”
That wasn’t the point, I just needed to be at peace with my closet, as I am in it everyday that I’m home. We all look at the hangers, how the clothes are hanging and how easy things are to find – consciously or unconsciously!
Well interestingly enough, after making the change to my closet, a couple days later John in his really innocent voice and puppy dog eyes said,
“Can you do my side of the closet now?”
I still haven’t!
However, some of my white hangers seem to have found their way onto the “man” side!! One day I’ll surprise him. I just couldn’t bring myself to running out to the store and start changing his side of the closet as much as I wanted to – because that would make it look like I just jump when he asks me to ;)! I don’t (all) the time! When he least expects it, I’ll have it waiting for him ;) AND yes, he WILL notice, he’s that kind of guy!
P.S. Do I see you imagining what your closet looks like OR are you heading to your bedroom right now to observe?? He he…I love it!
buy him another color, so your hangers can never migrate to the man side. I was just looking at some lovely orange ones at wal-mart the other night. excellent work!!
He he…great thinking!! I have lots of learn from you – look forward to reading your Blog one day Shelagh!! Super wife, mom, business woman!!
