It is news to me that all hangers are not standardized... good job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ocd-part-ii---rainy-day-closet-organization#post-569675 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 23:21:42 +0000 taylor 569675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh !! I love closet OCD!! Looks amazing!<br /> MY closet is very organized as well, and I am forever puttering with it and tweaking...but my drawers just cried when they saw the beauty of yours!! I must give my drawers some attention! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ocd-part-ii---rainy-day-closet-organization#post-569641 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 22:51:57 +0000 Mo 569641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, yes, it was terrible trying to dig around for just which random hanger would fit which top and if it was a heavy knit, I wouldn't hang it at all! I am not a tiny flower but my shirts just do *not* fit regular sized hangers. I did, after several near miss deliveries due to my move, receive a sample that was 15" across, but it didn't slope enough, so it was no better. I went on a whim with the 15.5" (reading on other blogs they are really 16") to find they slightly vary but are roughly 15 3/4 across. It doesn't sound like much smaller than standard, but makes such a difference! A comparison shot for you (and this is a feather light top). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ocd-part-ii---rainy-day-closet-organization#post-569639 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 22:46:11 +0000 rae 569639@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I missed the initial hanger discussion - I assumed the petite hangers were because of a shallow closet, but it looks like the idea is to hang the clothes on the right shoulder curve? Were your old hangers stretching the shoulders? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ocd-part-ii---rainy-day-closet-organization#post-569634 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 22:39:13 +0000 Jewell 569634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOLOL Mo, that is too funny! </p> <p>Yes, this is a good problem to have! Your scientific hanger hunt is a perfect example. I searched far and wide for my own hangers and the ones I ordered for DH. It's good to know I'm in such good company!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ocd-part-ii---rainy-day-closet-organization#post-569627 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 22:33:55 +0000 Mo 569627@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha Jewell!! What a good problem to have, as far as problems go, right? I admit it all started with the hangers. And they were a month long ordeal searching for the right size and shoulder shape. Talking OCD frankly . . . here was me testing what size hangers I needed,15" or 16"? LOL! I got 15 1/2 Thanks for the kudos! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ocd-part-ii---rainy-day-closet-organization#post-569622 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 22:26:51 +0000 Jewell 569622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay I admit it, I have a problem. I was just a little too excited to see another organization thread from you. But I was so inspired by the first one! Love what you've done with the closet! And I think we have those same hangers in our coat closet : )</p> <p>Another confession: I'm going to The Container Store tomorrow to get a few things to help organize my accessories. I can barely wait. You'd think I was going to an amusement park- lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ocd-part-ii---rainy-day-closet-organization#post-569565 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 21:12:00 +0000 Meredith1953 569565@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo,<br /> Between photographing your ENTIRE wardrobe and putting it up on ClosetCouture, and re-organizing your wardrobe you have been really busy! Now I feel guilty and need to start photgraphing clothing and putting it up there plus getting my closet in order so that I don't feel like such a slob in comparison. Ah....a little guilt is a GOOD thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ocd-part-ii---rainy-day-closet-organization#post-569559 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 21:07:32 +0000 keruchina 569559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderfully executed! The pillowcase lining is a great idea and demonstrates that you don't have to spend a lot of money to find good organization solutions. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ocd-part-ii---rainy-day-closet-organization#post-569073 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 12:19:05 +0000 Kirti 569073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very cool! I love seeing how people organise their closet and yours is really neat and tidy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ocd-part-ii---rainy-day-closet-organization#post-569056 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 11:28:43 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 569056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely inspirational. I may have to do a similar exercise this weekend. It can be a dual effort to clean out the old and assess spring wardrobe.</p> <p>The closet looks great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ocd-part-ii---rainy-day-closet-organization#post-569046 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 09:51:37 +0000 Jjsloane 569046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inspirational! I'm in awe of the streamlined organization. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ocd-part-ii---rainy-day-closet-organization#post-569044 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 09:32:30 +0000 fashionista 569044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loved your cardboard support for floppier bags, most of my bags are floppy kind and hence when I store them like yours upright they tend to be so hard to manage. So I am doing just what you did. Loved your idea of pillowcase lining.<br /> Thankyou for the inspiration and new ideas Mo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ocd-part-ii---rainy-day-closet-organization#post-569043 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 09:15:54 +0000 Doro 569043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great work, also excellent ideas with the pillowcase and how you folded the sweaters so you could see each of them when opening the drawer. You've inspired me, now I know what I'll be doing next week </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ocd-part-ii---rainy-day-closet-organization#post-569041 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 08:39:29 +0000 Aunty 569041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh that is so gorgeous!! I am such a neat freak and to see all your clothes so lovely and tidy makes my little heart sing :)</p> <p>Great ideas too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ocd-part-ii---rainy-day-closet-organization#post-569033 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 07:33:54 +0000 jenanded 569033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh this looks great! I will have a go at the cardboard and the big bags - I have a few and used to stuff them with shopping bags but my cupboard is much smaller now... Well done. Christneanne, agree on need to work a system for storing by capsule! Thank you for the inspiration Mo! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ocd-part-ii---rainy-day-closet-organization#post-569021 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 06:50:38 +0000 christieanne 569021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What an ingenious re-purposing of a pillowcase. Very inspired organizing. </p> <p>I am thinking of redoing mine by capsule somehow but have not figured it out yet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ocd-part-ii---rainy-day-closet-organization#post-569017 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 06:23:40 +0000 CocoLion 569017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so impressed with your edited, neat closet! I made the mistake of buying an extra clothes rack in August and guess what? Like a goldfish growing to its bowl, my wardrobe has expanded and I'm having trouble parting with stuff. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ocd-part-ii---rainy-day-closet-organization#post-569008 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 06:02:29 +0000 Kari 569008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, very well done - especially the bag organization! Handbags are always my trouble spot. For a while I used a handbag organizer on the back of my bedroom door; but our current bedroom door is in a narrow hallway opposite my boyfriend's closet, so it's too hard for him to have the purses on the door when he needs to access the closet.</p> <p>You definitely made good use of your time, Mo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ocd-part-ii---rainy-day-closet-organization#post-569005 Fri, 16 Mar 2012 05:54:24 +0000 Mo 569005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I did most of my closet when my new petite hangers arrived last week <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/a-snowy-day-closet-pics" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....loset-pics</a> But there were still messy spots that needed attention. Today, it was rainy and windy and a great day to do indoor projects. </p> <p>I finally folded the sweaters in the drawer (pic 1). Before (pic 2) </p> <p>And the baskets that hold the gloves, scarves and hats got a once over. The raw basket weave had always snagged on the knits and bugged me. I had an idea to take an orphaned yellow pillow case and cut it in two to line the baskets. Just like the canvas lined ones you see at Bed Bath &amp; Beyond, etc. Worked like a charm. (pic 4). Before (pic 5)</p> <p>And for the first time EVER, I have bags all lined up in a row. I know, I have a pitiful collection compared to most of you, but they've been stored here and there over the years to where I didn't even know I had the straw crossbody. For two of the floppier ones, I decided a cardboard support between them was all that was needed. (pic 3)</p> <p>Yes, I've got time on my hands LOL! </p>
