Appologies I only came back to you today with the picties of some of my ideas about how to keep my home organised.
1-8 is my entry/main hallway. Shoeboard does not have legs&, it is fixed on the wall at a height that it still accomodates a line of shoes underneath, those of them in curent use. You can also see my how I store my curent bag on the top of it, and I have there a basket which hides my gloves(7) and my DD's impossible to put away stuff(8):-)).In nr 5 you can see where we can sit to put on shoes, and how I also store some home slips underneath. On the side another basket, used to host my DD's school bag or city bags, now she is in college and only weekends at home so there are her winter shawls there, folded.
9-14 is the closet which hides mainly coats, bags scarves and shoes out of seasonal use. I dstore my scarves in plastic bins. Have 5 of them. (eachy season + dressy) so I can easily find what I want. Clutches on the upper shelves, bigger bags underneath clothes,and more shoes on the floor (under the down shelf).
15-35 is our bedroom. I unfortunatelly do not have a walk in closet so I did my best with Ikea furniture, only. Malm series has that brilliant 6-drawer chest with a built-in mirror and felt-lined compartments beneath perfect for storing your jewelry(16-17), and I am in love:-).
Nr 18 is their highest Pax wardrobe which can so accomodate 2 full rods(lower one is for every day tops/shirts, the higher one, which I can reach harder is for dressy). But that's still not enough for my stuff, so I have external extensions on the side (see in 19) for my curent, in the use, blazers and planing outfits or lazy days.
I also have 4 under the bed srawers (nr 21), two on each side of the bed, they slide over castors. There is more(plenty!) out of seasonal stuff there.
Nr 22 shows a wire basket on the floor in the farthest corner of the room, where we put throw the bedcover & the deco pillows for the night.
23-24 shows how I store more in the use jewelry. My cuffs are piled on a glass stick, basicaly an thermometer:-)) Bracelets on the Stockholm candlestick, around the candles. Very clever:-)
25 is a plastic transparent chest of drawers used to hold beach and swimmwear
26-27 shows my tube skirts a in plastic bins, they were carefully chosen to accomodate under the tops on the first rod.
29-30 is DH's part, no comment.
31 shows how I store my undies, 32 are the bras and 33 is a random drawer (these are the knitted toppers I use in winter). I do have a totall of 14 of them full size and 7 half of these.
34 is for how I store my body, feet and hands lotions:-) on my night stand.
Oh, and I still have some stands in my guests room, so I rotate some of the stuff when seasons change.
Blah, it really exhausted me only to write this post but my gideline is that all our stuff needs to have it's speciffic place, only then it will be tidy. I have worked on it for years to make it do for our very own needs, still not finished- it's always under construction:-).
