Last week I gave you a preview of how I organize the projects around my house! Today I am showing you one of those that got marked off the list recently!
Now this was just a minor haul. It took all of ordering two things online & about 20 minutes and I had a much better shoe/coat closet in our main entry way! We do not have a mud room, deep sigh, but we have a coat closet at the front entry of our home. (We use the back but whatever) We still hang all of our coats in there & my husband puts most of his shoes in here. I prefer mine upstairs for when I am trying on outfits. Well, our coats are on this far, far rack in the back & I was tripping over the hubby’s shoes and that made me CRANKY. Plus, when we had guests over and we wanted to hang their coats, I had to climb over mountains ,i mean walk over Ryan’s shoes to hang up their coats and guess what that did? Yup, make me CRANKY!
So this was an easy solution for us. I bought a shoe rack & a coat hanger and my shoe/coat closet transformation was about to begin!
Try getting to those coats without rolling an ankle!
He’s such a great helper!
1. I took all my shoes out of the closet so I could assess what needed to stay down here & what needed to go
2. Took all cleaning stuff out & found homes or made a home in the closet w/ it.
3. Took all the coats out & made a few donations to good will & some to the dry cleaners because they are missing buttons
4. I, I mean Ryan put the coat rack up on the side wall to hang up our everyday coats & guest coats when they visit.
5. Then we started putting stuff back in. First the coats, then the shoes, and then cleaning tools.
Much better- I can walk to the coats w/o killing myself!
Coat Hanger = $10.58
Shoe Rack = $15.99
Total: $26.57
but I had a gift card so we paid $0.00
My other January project was to clean our closet & I did that as well! Blog post coming soon! I hope you are getting your house projects done around the home! I’m off to start assessing my February Kitchen Projects which are:
