Closet is organized....movin on

I finally finished organizing my coat closet. I so am doing the happy dance right now! And if I say so myself, and I do, I am happy with the results. This closet is now a functioning part of the house, as compared to before, a non-functioning stash all.

Here are the completed closet pictures:

I have previously shown this picture, however, I have updated since then. I added a larger decorative box for hats and scarves. The box labeled gloves did not supply enough storage for all of our needed winter apparatus. I moved my handsome husband's motorcycle gloves under his helmet to give more room for the larger box, and also, gave the helmet something to sit on rather than the wired shelf.

I added a hanging over the door shoe holder. I found this shoe holder at Kmart. It fits 24 shoes. The price was $8.97. The 3 bars that hold the rack in place are made of metal. They are very solid. They also are hard to distinguish when the door is closed. The shoe holder is made of a durable cloth. I am very happy with my purchase and my husband can now easily find his shoes.

I purchased a wrapping paper holder. It is the tall storage container in the right corner. This is so nice. Now the wrapping paper is easily accessible and will not get damaged when the sweeper is moved in and out of the closet.

I cleaned up my scrapbooking container. This is the container with 3 drawers on the left of the picture. Previously, I had scrapbooking paper and other items on top of it. Now I am able to move the container where I will be working on scrapbooking projects, such as, when I decorated my planner.

I am so happy with the results of this endeavor. I thank everyone who posted about organizing or shared some of their own organizing skills . Thank you!

A quick reminder of the before picture:
