In my new home, I've taken over what is technically the master bedroom as my office. The other bedroom is about the same size, but doesn't have a door to our back yard. We figured we don't want people walking through our bedroom to get to the back. The other room is also quieter.

My office, technically being the master, as TWO closets, one being a walk-in. My husband also has a small walk-in closet in the other bedroom that's more than adequate to his needs.( And rest assured, he has our whole finished cellar as his office, which he eventually wants to make into a Victorian-style library.)

I have finally finished almost all the organizing and light renovation of the walk in closet to suit my needs. Nothing was customized to this closet, and I only started out with the hanging rails and the lower shelves. I did add peel-and-stick wallpaper on the visible wall, for fun. I plan to add a little storage ottoman to sit on, and my hamper will live in there too.

The other closet, a double-wide, didn't need much work. I just added some extra expandable shelves to the top of the existing shelves.

Here is how everything is divided up:

• Walk-in: clothes with a shorter hang; sneakers and other non-sandal shoes in pre-bought racks; purses on shelves along the right (could be organized better); plastic shelves with clothes in the back; IKEA dresser with more clothes (happened to be exact right size for my needs here). Backs of doors have hooks for some less nice and currently in use purses.
• Double-wide: Some coats/jackets and all long hanging clothes; sandals on backs of doors; shelves up top have misc items, mostly not clothes; the right side has a little cart with my weights and exercise things.
• Deep storage (closet downstairs, not shown) - heavy winter clothes and holiday clothes; to be switched out with high summer clothes. I will need to do much less of a seasonal switch than previously. I still hope to decrease both categories by natural attrition--I have too much.
• Hall Closet (not shown) - my most-used coats and jackets can live there permanently.

Things without permanent homes as yet:

• Underthings, socks and pj's: These are in plastic bins in the actual bedroom, under the bed for now. I plan to put a pretty dresser in there for those items, as my husband doesn't need drawers at all and we have the space.  Anyway, there is a pretty dresser I want that I have to wait and buy. Other things we need take precedence before I buy it, as it's an investment piece. I hope to buy late in the year or early next year.
• Bathing suits and non-daily gear (hiking, etc) - I may add some more of those plastic shelves, as there is room. These could also go in a fabric box in the double-wide closet.

I do have one question - I don't believe shorts in general should hang, but I am thinking I might make an exception for linen shorts, and get a skirt hanger for those. What do you all think?
