Organize that Closet...Part 2

Now to share Part 2 of "Organize that Closet"...

1. After you have organized your clothes, did your donating, contemplated on the consignments and tossed a few bad sweat pants - if you're on the fence with blouse or low riders, take a post it "flag" and stick it on the hanger. If the flag is still there next year...donate!
2. Post it your shoe boxes as well. A brief description of which shoe is the box makes less mess.
3. Never leave your clothes in dry cleaner plastic bags, it does not allow the materials of your clothing to breath and your clothes will smell like dry cleaning chemicals after a while.
4. If at all possible, do a seasonal change of closets. I store all of my winter clothes in the XX-large hefty bags and then rotate when spring and summer comes along. Don't forget to use "under your bed" as storage!

Holiday Decorating Tip: REPURPOSE

Repurpose..Repurpose..Repurpose! Gather all of your large vases and bowls fill them with fresh fruits such as bright red and green apples, pomegrants and veggies - yes, veggies - artichokes make a grand statement in a bowl mixed with hot red chili peppers. For a dramatic centerpiece, dig out all of your candlesticks and candelabras - place them in a grouping in the middle of your table and fill them with the same color, solid candlesticks and pillars. Add a rustic element and place pinecones, cinnamon sticks and fresh evergreen clippings around the table as well. Mother Nature's price is always right!
