MOVED! My Temporary Closet Space (Pics)

We moved 2 miles down the road into a loft with a sea and city view - still in Seattle! The new loft and old house are exactly the same size. 1600 square feet. We've been here five days and LOVE it. Felt like home right away.

Last Sunday, I organized our wardrobes, and enjoyed every second of it.

The old home had a wonderful small WIC and a LOT of storage space. The new loft does not. We will remodel to create perfect spaces, but want to live in our new home for a while first. Gather our thoughts and ideas. Process. Recharge. Enjoy.

Soooooo, this is EVERY ITEM OF MY WARDROBE except for trail shoes, snow boots, a sunhat, and a toffee puffer that are at the loft in SLC. And a pair of white jeans in the wash. EVERYTHING is squared away and has its place after figuring out optimal storage solutions in the spaces that we have. Some of the these spaces are shared with Greg, but it's only my stuff and Sam's stuff in the pics:

#1 - Basics

#2 - Yoga & Swimwear

#3 - Loungewear & Sleepwear

#4 - Knitwear

#5 - Holiday Knitwear & Scarves

#6 - View of some pets....

#7 - WARDROBE PETS

#8 - Jackets, Tops, Dresses, Skirts, Hats, Shoes

#9 - ......close-up

#10 - Jeans & Pants & a pet that needs to hang

#11 - Brand new duplicated footwear in boxes waiting in the wings...

#12 - Sam's wardrobe box

#13 - Sam's wardrobe

#14 - No coat closet yet - so coats are in a wardrobe box for now. Will be DIY'ing the red wedding cabinet at the back into a coat closet

#15 - Winter accessories that will go into the wedding cabinet when complete

#16 - Sam on his wardrobe box

#17 & #18 = #OOTD: casual micro check wide crops from BR's Japanese collection. SUBLIME fabric. Gorgeous fit and comfort. And navy cabled striped pullover to go with it. Overdue haircut...

Feeling blessed and grateful with my edited, organized, curated and fab-for-me wardrobe in our temporary storage spaces. Relieved the move is behind us! xo

Janet, Sam is good at sharing. Come on over with your terriers.

Suntiger, of course Sam steals the show

anchie

I am impressed. From hanging everything to folding. You are so resourceful. How is Sam liking new home?

Adriana

Good job! Looks lovely. Wish you happiness in your new home.

Lesley

Seeing all your happy colors and happy purses in one space is fantastic. I have to ask... do you *dust* your purses? I used to keep a few pairs of shoes on display in my closet because I liked it, but I found they got a little dusty!

Mirjana

Wow, Angie everything looks perfect I am impressed. BRAVO.

The Cat

Congratulations! I'm sure it feels good to have finished the move and to have organized your closet. I know from experience that moving involves A LOT OF WORK, and am impressed that you have also managed to be active here on YLF. In addition, you are still looking fab, chic and radiant.

Love #16, cute pic of little Sam. Does he feel at home already?

Karie

WOW. I love the way everything is so organized and folded so neatly. I am very organized, but have a hard time getting my clothing to stay nicely folded.

Hi Sam!

Staysfit

It looks so colorful and neat! Sam looks like he has been directing the process, he’s so cute!

RobinF

So inspiring! And the bags!! Wow! Hubby and I are moving also in a couple of weeks and I'm taking notes!

Sal

well done!! Big job but it is fun and a chance to evaluate and sort. Your colours are sensational displayed like this.

rachylou

Love Sam in the closet Very neat and tidy! You are very efficient.

Are you out of the house for good? For some reason I thought you were remodeling...

Bonnie

Loved seeing all of the beautiful colors in your wardrobe. I moved right after Christmas and we put in an IKEA PAC system in February so I had a couple of months of chaos. Isn't it nice to have everything organized. Love your OOTD, too.

SarahD8

I'll repeat what you just said to me -- How neat and tidy!

Well done. Thanks for giving us a peek. Glad you are settling in!

Style Fan

How exciting! Excellent job putting everything away. Sam looks very happy in his new home. I love organizing too.

taylor

Welcome home

Well, you have certainly have shown me how to do LIFE. Congratulations on everything.

Jenn

So happy you’re getting all settled in. Your colorful wardrobe is a joy to look at, and all the brights are very cohesive!

Meredith

Dying over the color and organization. Saving this post for inspiration!

Cardiff girl

Sam looks genuinely interested in your trouser rail!l am in awe of your neat and tidy drawers.l also think that you are wise to live in your new space for a while before doing alterations,things to do become more apparent with time.In the meanwhile enjoy your new Place!

Janet

Wow, what a beautifully organized and curated space. I LOVE closet posts, and even though this is not your permanent new closet situation, this is so satisfying to look at.

Congrats on your new place!

Joyce B

Enjoy your new home!

Mainelady

Congratulations on your new home! You are so organized and have made excellent room for your beloveds and basics. Awwww what a cutie Sam is. It look like he is very happy in his new abode, too!
I think you are wise to relax into your new home and see what changes you want to make after having been there for a bit.

Thanks for the kind words, and good wishes. We LOVE our new digs, and felt at home instantly.

Anchie and The Cat, Sam settled in beautifully - thanks for asking.

Lesley, no need to dust my bags since I use all of them regularly. Dust has no chance to settle!

Karie, it’s quite the commitment keeping things folded the right way….

Robin, good luck! Where are you moving to?

Sal, exactly. I had a ball.

Rachy, here to stay. Remodeling after we’ve lived here for a while first. Need to get a better lay on the land..

bonnie, your IKEA pack system is fab. Chaos gone.

Jenn, your turn soon!

Meredith, please live!

Cardiff Girl and Mainelady, it makes more sense doesn’t it. I’m glad we’re pausing.

Janet, satisfying is a good word. Dead right.

Becky

Looks great. I'm glad you're already feeling at home. I *love* the Kondo method of folding and storing in drawers. It definitely makes the most of the space, and items don't get "lost" or forgotten at the bottom.

ChristelJ

A joy to look at, and inspiring. My wardrobe pets are jealous.

Joy

It sounds like a lovely loft with a view too! Sam looks happy and will have new places to walk and smells to sniff. You look so organized in your space. My favorite photo I’d sweet Sam sitting on his box. It must reassure him that his things are in the new space. The new micro check crops look like fun to style and a wonderful fit. You will be making many wonderful memories in your new place.

Tanya

Congrats on the move, Angie! Everything looks amazing - so organized, tidy and colorful. Love the wardrobe pet display, and your actual pet is as cute as ever. I like the outfit, too, those pants are very tempting.
