Description of the Project: Cleaning out and organizing our closet. We had piles of clothes on top of the one shelf, and tons of clothes we no longer wear. Our shoes were just piled on the floor, and we had miscellaneous items in there, such as a rug, kitchen table leaf, and various long lost toys.

Time Spent: About 4 hours

Advice for Others: We started by taking EVERYTHING out. We had a marathon of trying on all our clothes to make sure they still fit. Then we separated them into piles for charity, trash, and keep. The shoe hanger really helped, by getting the shoes up off the floor. We also love the closet organizer kits from the home improvement store. We used them to create levels and shelves in the closet.
