Closet Storage Solutions
I was in need of some storage solutions. When I first heard of closet organizing consultants I chuckled to myself. Good grief! Who would waste money on something like that? Closets need to be tidied and I knew closets needed a good purge every once in a while. However, I couldn't imagine paying someone to come into my house and give me advice on organizing my closet. I could just imagine her saying "all coats must face east to mecca" and "be ordered according to the spectrum of the rainbow".
Times have changed and I have to admit that closet organization has become a fairly substantial industry. There are closet organization consultants and there are closet organization companies. If you Google the term hundreds and hundreds of web sites show up claiming that they can quickly help you redesign your closet organizational system.
I am now among the converted and I am proud to say my closets are pretty well organized. I started down the path of closet organization by looking in other people's closets. I started to notice that my most productive and time efficient friends had extraordinarily well organized closets. Was this just a con-incidence? It seemed that people who were organized with their time were also organized with their closets.
I started to copy my friends and oddly enough the most busy yet organized took time to coach me in their secrets. Together we tackled the front hall closet. I was prepared for hard work but I wasn't prepared for the humiliation I felt after we pulled out the 7th unmatched glove. I was put in a chair with a glass of wine while my friends transformed my closet. Both of my friends brought some storage infrastructure (stacking shelves and clear plastic bins). When it was done the only thing I could slur was "What a difference".
I then tackled other closets with gusto. I have found that I learn little helpful hints along the way which I can employ in all of my closets. I have become a storage solutions advocate. I have contributed articles to my local newspaper on the subject and I have read every article I can find on the subject. I really believe my life has become easier and nicer since I embraced closet organization.
Even the best designed closet can not accommodate too much. BE honest about what you really need and use. Really make an effort to purge your closets. Accept the fact that the mitten you lost in 1988 is never going to be reunited with it's mate. You do not need a special closet organizational consultant. Start with baby steps. Experiment a lot. There are dozens of cheap storage solutions out there waiting to make your life easier.
