Have a nice life, wire hangers:
I would love to say they we got new beautiful wooden hangers for everything, but since I have an aversion to folding clothes and putting them in drawers and I hang everything, all wooden hangers would have been very expensive. I really mean everything...like my 54 tanks in every color of the rainbow...I am not joking.
I think we will gradually switch over to all wooden, but in the interest of not spending a small fortune, I opted for all black hangers. I do have one wooden hanger on a hook, not only as a reminder that we will one day have all wooden, but as the hanger for my outfit for the next day. Now for some photos!!

My side of the closet...before vs after:
That cubed shelf above is a cd shelf I have had since college. It is now the home to my scarves and a few tops I no longer wear, but that have sentimental value. :) I also have a few of my favorite InStyle and Vogue magazines up there for inspiration and my little stool (actually a side table from Target, on sale for $13) for when I need to sit and put on shoes or
My jewelry was taking over my husband's dresser, so I decided it needed a house of its own. I found two flatware sorters for $5 at Marshall's for my necklaces, and a multi-shelf cabinet organizer step thing (?) also for $5 from Marshall's for my earrings. The tray I had elsewhere in our home and the little white pinch pot housing my rings was made by my niece.
I just cannot even begin how to express how much nicer it is having a clean, organized, cheery closet!!
...I am trying to think of some sort of project for all of those wire hangers. Any ideas? ;)

Wonderful transformation! I would love for my closet to be that organized! Great job, Suzie! I love all of your tank tops!!
DO I see bright yellow heels? Do tell! ;) Jen
ahaha You noticed those shoes?? They are kind of a joke, but I cannot get rid of them because they make me laugh. They were on some ridiculous sale and ended up being $2. I bought them because who doesn't need a $2 pair of bright yellow heels? Right? I have never worn them and likely never will because they are ridiculously uncomfortable...but they make giggle every time I see them...especially because Bryan hates them so much! :D
AAHH, if you saw mine, you would feel better, seriously, you did a bang up job.
This looks awesome!! I am actually quite jealous because I need to do this with my non-walk-in closet. But your place looks really organized and great. I like the idea of the cubed shelves for scarves... And you even added a plant ;)
And those wire hangers? If I were you I would say goodbye! However, here's a challenge http://bit.ly/aYhdZa ;) Have fun!!
You are a brave soul to reveal your closet. It looks fantastic. I always take my wire hangers back to the dry cleaners. I just feel so bad throwing them out.
P.S. Thanks for stopping by my blog. It's great to meet you!
"No more wire hangers!!!!' (I can't be the only one who thought that, right?)
You could return the hangers as mentioned. Or, you could un-bend them and roll them around a vase? Bend them into shapes? Make a mobile like the one shared above (SO cute!)?
Wow! I love it! You have inspired me to actually get in my closet and get it done!!
The hangers... just donate them to Goodwill... or you can use them if you every do the consignment sale... they require all oufits to be on hangers. :o)
Thanks, ladies!! :)
Yes, Katie!!...I used to say that to Bryan every single morning when fighting the tangled wire hanger mess. He wasn't very amused. :)
I think I am officially over the hangers now, so I am going to pass on the projects. I thought I wanted to try something, but since I just walked past the pile and cut my leg, I am done with them! :D
Wow! That looks great! I like your better than your inspiration photos, though those were great too! Now, please come help me do mine. I would die for shelving in my closet!
OK, first of all, I have to say that after your description, I was expecting the description to look like something out of Hoarders, but it wasn't really that bad----kind of looks like my closet right now, and I just organized it! (Well, the clothes anyway. The shoes are another story!)
And also---I am glad to see that I am not the only one who puts my shirts in rainbow order. Ha, ha!
Come home and do your Mom's closets! Don't tell Justin I haven't started. The good thing about the coat closet...something's wrong with the know and I can't open the door. I'll have to by winter! Love, Mom
What an undertaking! It looks great. You've got me inspired.
Okay, so I'm finally back! My "simple crock pot" dinner from yesterday was not quite so simple after all:).
I LOVE what you have done to your closet!! I completely know what you mean in regards to certain projects that seem overwhelming and keep getting pushed off of the 'what I MUST get done list'. I have a couple of those projects of my own- as 'non-hoarderish' as I like to consider myself:).
Like I put on my DIY post, I AM ready, but until I can get those other projects DONE, I'm not going to start!
Amazing job!! You have inspired me to get in mine and really organize it!
I love the idea of using the flatware trays as jewelry organizers- I've been struggling with how to organize mine and this might do the trick!
