ORGANIZING YOUR COAT CLOSET

-Pull all of your out-of-season coats, shoes and accessories out of your closet. Check them thoroughly to see if they need mending, if so put aside and do it right after organizing the closet. If your items cannot be mended, throw them away, don’t think twice. The coats that are still good, but you do not wish to keep, give them away or donate. The pile you wish to keep, launder and store away in a large plastic waterproof container. Don’t forget to label it, for easy access next year. With the "out-of-season-gear" out of the way, you will have less clutter.

-Pull out all of your 'out-of-season' shoes, and separate (keep, donate, toss). Place the 'in-season' shoes you wish to keep on a shoe rack or a hanging shoe organizer.

-Store all in-season accessories (such as hats, scarves, gloves, umbrellas, etc.) in a box/basket, or a hanging closet organizer for a much neater look. When needed, you know exactly where to find it.

-The biggest problem I have is my children’s shoes. They’re always scattered and there are millions of them. First, I divide the shoes by season, than decide what to do with each pair. If they are in good condition and they fit properly, they are placed into a basket (labelled with each child's name) with the most frequently worn shoes on top.

-Another way to organize your kid’s shoes is to clip pairs together with a clothes pin, so you don’t have to search for the other shoe!

-You can keep a basket, or one of those cute cube boxes in your closet to store slippers for guests. It's an adorable look.
