6 Secrets for Closet Organization (Tips & Tricks!)

by Carrie MakingLemonade

How are your January organizing goals coming along? I'd like to share a few great tips and tricks we used to get our closet clean, neat and sorted out in about an hour.

Can this really be done in about an hour? YES!

Great idea about the hangers. I use empty plastic water bottles to keep my boots upright.

I use my mom's tip of stuffing egg cartons in the boots. Lots of good tips here. Just need somebody to tell me (truthfully) if the outfits I have even look good on me or should I donate (or cut into rags)! LOL
