DIY Closet Build
By NCavillonesWe have that rarest of specimens in a NYC apartment--a walk-in closet. Our only other closet is a narrow affair in the bedroom. Awhile back, we built out the walk-in closet with a Rubbermaid System, in order to better utilize the space.

We had the sam » READ MORE

My (kind of) organized closet!
By anjelicat First post, hooray! I just finished getting all of my clothing back into my closet (60% of it eventually ends up on my bed/floor), so I figured i'd take some pictures and share.I re-did my bedroom probably about two years ago, but it still makes me proud. I decided to opt out of pre-made storage units for my closet and instead design it in a way that I could really get the most use out of it. Everything I used was either purchased at Home De » READ MORE

Hangers.com. Who knew?
By beccajoHey! Guess what they sell on Hangers.com ?
answer:
Hangers!
Metal, wood, velvet, and even those plastic ones you get from department stores.

I got into the knob-less closet. I didn't get a chance to start doing anything around here today until before I knew it Johnny was calling to be picked up from work. The weather is too gross and sticky for staining or painting, too gross and sticky for any work harder than staining or painting, and Goody (who, by the way, is pissed at having been locked down celler for the weekend) wouldn't let me make my very first day back also be my very first » READ MORE

Looking on the Bright Side of a Disaster.
By DesigningMomHave you ever thought about a custom closet, but were afraid of how much it would cost? Well be afraid no more! Get some graph paper and a pencil.

After I re-did my front closet a while back, I started thinking about these fragrant balls, as I wanted to add one as a cherry on the top of my make over. So, I took a trip to my grocery store and bought the necessary equipment. Here’s a refresher too-easy-for-a-how-to how-to just in case you » READ MORE
What do I do with an ugly util closet?
By clutchI have an 81 x 81 utility closet opening that I need to do something with. I had some ugly folding doors but because of a broken washing machine I had to cut out part of the wall. Lucky me. And also because of a backed up sewer I had to rip up new carpeting. Ewwwww
What can I do with this now? I don't want more of the folding doors. But I need to keep it ventilated because the furnace and water heater is back there also. This is a hallway so ther » READ MORE
