Closet Love

Yesterday I set about doing something I have wanted to do for a very long time. I made hanging clothing dividers for my closet and for Eliana's closet. I have organized my clothes this way for a long time, but it is difficult for others to put things away, or it's too easy for me to be too lazy to put them away correctly. Now, though, there is order! Hooray! Here's what I made...

This is my closet. I like to hang my shirts based on sleeve length first, color second. So my dividers are as follows... *strapless *strappy tank tops *tank tops *sleeveless *short sleeve *3/4 sleeve *long sleeve *vests *cardigans *jackets Then in each section I hang clothes in the following color order... *white *natural *brown *yellow *orange *pink *red *purple *blue *green *gray *black It sounds complicated, but it makes it super easy to find what you're looking for! And it's really not that complicated once you get the hang of it. Especially now that I have dividers!! The other side of my closet is considerably simpler, since I just have skirts, pants, and capris over there.

In Eliana's room, we did the same thing, only it's much less complicated. She told me what categories of clothes she needed dividers for, and she just puts them in there willy-nilly. Her categories are... *Short Sleeve Shirts *Long Sleeve Shirts *Pants *Skirts *Play Dresses *Church Dresses

I color coordinated the dividers based on the rooms, of course. And I also created dividers for Eliana's school uniforms. We already had M-S dividers that we've been using for a couple years. Those are sort of what inspired these! They were a free download a couple years ago, and now can be purchased on Etsy. Of course, now I can't find the link, but I'll keep looking for it. I looked at all sorts of clothing dividers on Etsy, thinking I would just buy some, but for the number of dividers we needed, I didn't want to spend $60!
