Maximize Your Closet Space

I will be moving this May and I couldn't be happier. I will be moving into a townhouse and will have sooo much more space EXCEPT for my closet. Now I will be getting a walk-in closet, however, I will have to share my closet. The apartment I'm in now I have the whole closet to myself which allowed me to acquire a enormous amount of clothing and shoes. I am definitely not happy to share my closet *major side eye as I type this* but I want to be fair LOL. Being that I will know have less closet space I have to utilize space saving tools to get the most out of my side.

I want to share with you the things I will be using to maximize my closet space so you can maximize your space if you need a little help doing so. Once I move and get my side of the closet in order I will make a video about it to show you. Everything below I found at Target, but I will shop around to find the lowest price to save some money.

P.S. I will also do a closet audit before I move to limit the amount of clothing and shoes I bring with me. That is a great way to start when you want to organize your closet.

For the top of your closet....

Use bins like below to keep items organized and in place to save space and avoid unnecessary messiness.

Room Essentials: Large Tapered Basket $14.99

Badger Basket: Folding Basket $11.99

To expand the amount of clothes you hang up....

Rod doublers are the best. The allow you to have a second clothing rod for more clothing to hang up. Hanging organizers also allow you to put more clothing in the closet that would take up space elsewhere.

Honey-Can-Do: Adjustable Closet Rod $19.99

6 Shelf Organizer $18.99

Where am I going to put my shoes???????

Ok so if you are a shoe fanatic like me you have to think long and hard about where you will put your shoes. The first option is a shoe rack. Usually a basic shoe rack will do just fine for most. I have decided to get bookcases for my shoes. I have too many for a regular shoe rack. Whatever the shoe amount there is always a solution

Seville Classics: 3 Tier Shoe Rack $28.49

Room Essentials: 5 Shelf Bookcase $32.99

I hope this helps you get your closet in order. I will share my finished result after everything is completed.

Textured Nail DIY

Ok guys this is my first official DIY project. I thought it would be fun to share as I plan to do more DIYs with a variety of different things. So today I am going to create a textured nail design. I am a nail polish fanatic and I love to experiment to keep my nails fun. For this type of nail you will need:

2 different nail colors and a sponge

The first step is to completely paint you nails with one color. Figure out whatever color you want to be your base coat and go over your nails twice.

I am a messy nail painter LOL

Once your nails have dried, you should pour a pea size amount of the other nail polish on a surface of your choosing.

  

 

Now dip a small part of the sponge into the polish. Don't use too much polish though. Make sure the sponge is covered, but it should not be able to drip. Clean off any access polish if that happens. Now all you do is tap you nail with the sponge until you like the design. The design will depend on the area of the sponge and how much you apply. This is the fun part! and drum roll please

And there you have it, a textured nail, just clean the nail up and you are all ready to go! It took me a while to get them exactly how I wanted them, but it was fun. I will be doing more of these and sharing them. Let me know how your nails turn out!!!
