After all the clothes and accessories that don’t work are cleared out of the closet, there are still a couple steps to make your closet really work for you.
Getting dressed can be hard. Dressing is so much simpler when you do it in an organized, beautiful space that is easy to manage and supports your creativity. Leadership and Performance Specialist Mattison Grey calls this “creating a supportive environment.”
How do you organize a closet so it works? Here’s an example of my recent closet makeover. It took about 6 hours (2 hours on 3 evenings). I used items from around the house and spent less than $50 in supplies. The makeover is divided into five posts – Part 1 – Before Pics, Part 2 – Frantic to Functional, Part 3 – Concealed to Convenient, Part 4 – Unsightly to Unbelievable, Part 5 – The Big Reveal & After Pics.

Thank you so much Mary! I got the idea from a woman in Houston who used to specialize in decorating closets. I wish I could remember her name. I couldn’t find her on Google when I was ready to upgrade my closet…so I did it myself!
