CLUTTER FREE CLOSET!

October 28, 2010
  • Share

Well organized wall closet

Is it possible for something to give you extreme joy while at the same time inflicting a sense of extreme anxiety?

Well that is kind of a rhetorical question because I know the answer is yes. This closet, for example, makes me very joyful and extremely anxious – diametrically opposed feelings all at the same time.

I love this wall closet…organized, manageable, pretty, realistic, the ideal closet for me…open racks, concealed areas, lots of drawers, shoes well organized, clothing well hung…well designed indeed.

While I love this closet, it also gives me total anxiety. Anxiety only because this is my ideal and I am living with a not ideal closet situation right now and in general. This morning, I thought my cleaning lady was coming so I threw almost everything in my closet onto my bed to be reorganized. A heap of black clothing…with some speckles of blue, purple, maroon and white here and there, piled high on my bed. Yikes! In my closet, there are still quite a few clothes, mis-hung, not organized, with heaps of shoes on the closet floor. A mess. P.S. Just realized that my cleaning lady doesn’t in fact come today…she comes Saturday (complicated scheduling…some weeks she comes Thursdays and some weeks she comes Saturdays). Oy va voy va voy.

Close up of a shoe rack in a well organized closet and a slightly opened drawer showing how wallets and clutch purses are organized

On the left is jewlery organized by color and type in a drawer, on the right is a well organized closet

Anyhoooo…I am leaving the pile behind…nothing I can do at this point…off to work and I’ll think about it later today (the worst feeling is coming home to a total mess…and the worst feeling I will have…anyhoooo what’s a girl to do? Don’t answer that either…I imagine the answer my mother would give, “a girl should organize her own closet and keep things neat at all times”…boo).

Happy Thursday!

P.S. Thank you for all of your comments on the reader submission photos I posted on the official COCOCOZY FACEBOOK PAGE on Tuesday evening. Was so glad everyone like. Thank you to reader Angela Robinson for submitting!

    I agree I’m sure our lives are so complicated by looking in our closets. This is my next reno building a closet so i can fit in it.

    I think the person who owns this closet has WAY too many clothes!
    It will never stay this organized and if it does, I say that’s OCD in action:))!!

    My partner and I tried sharing a closet that that was just a disaster. I am guilty of having OCD in my closet – everything has to be arranged by item, color, lenght, etc.

    it doesn’t look like this because I don’t ahve this much clothes, but this is my dream come true.

    Thanks for letting me know that I’m not alone 🙂

    I think a functional closet is a great way to start the day and we build lots of them although after all these years I still can’t seem to keep my shirts folded.

    These closets are awesome but unless my clothes learned to hang themselves up and my shoes learned to jump onto the shelves I think my closet would still be a mess. lol Thanks for sharing.

    So weird, I just cleaned out my closet yesterday, with my cleaning lady. It was crazy -dusty – and a mess…long overdue. It was exhausting, took 3 hours, and I still didn’t do it all.

    Yikes! Great minds think alike. I just received a terrific email quote for redoing the ONLY closet, (yes, there’s only ONE) in my two story loft.
    I MUST get organized!

    Eeek! You just made me think about the mess of a closet I have at home. Need to throw the excess out and organize the things I actually do wear… Thanks for the inspiration.

Martha's Vineyard house tour part 1. Here is a tou Martha's Vineyard house tour part 1. Here is a tour of the rental house we had in Edgartown on MV this summer. A new build about 5 minutes from the center of town. 3500 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 4 baths and a pool. House bad that beach house or coastal style decor. We were the first to rent it. What do you think? Would you rent thjs? Do you want to see the bedrooms?
It was our 2nd summer on the Vineyard. Next year, we are renting for the month. Same house. 💃🏾 I would love a bit bigger so more people could come but finding good rentals is hard on the Vineyard. Feel very lucky to have spent a magical few weeks in this spot.
