Wow, THANK YOU! Mapping out a game plan, then implementing your ideas and tips will help me conquer the war-zone that is my closet. Thank you, Meg, for your amazing show and stylish aesthetic.
i LOVE the cardboard box idea. To buy them at the store are too expensive and not something i want to shop for but this is a cheap and creative solution. Thanks so much DYI!!!! who is the host? I want to meet her and that adorable little mut!
Unfortunately i have no more room even for organizers, since my closet (ignore the fact that my floor is another matter) is fully organized, including pizza boxes (unused) filled with old grade school papers and art. Remember some other ways to freshen up those places would be just putting a bar of soap in a drawer or a clove covered orange!
I actually signed on today because I was hoping to ask that you do an episode on how to make pretty, padded, fabric-covered hangers with something to keep little straps from slipping off. I know you've just covered the closet, but hopefully you'll consider this project anyway?! Please and thanks

You can get them used too, off Craig's list or something.
Really old houses, and houses in some countries don't have closets.
HEY thanks for the mention! another idea for organization is taking an old shudder and paint it white put hangers/ hooks and then hang it up and fill it with cards or pictures. I have one its so cool because when you get a card just put it in one of the slots and share it with everyone!
To put doorknobs into the wall:
Put some glue in the back of the doorknob. Before it dries, push a drywall screw (head first) into the glue. Hold it for a few seconds as the glue dries. Then, screw it into the wall. If it resists, then create a little starter hole with your power-drill or a hammer and nails.
Use vintage, re-purposed doorknobs and you have created cool recycled hooks for more storage!
Its like you knew my closet was falling out of itself. I do have to say, the boxes into cubbies is brilliant and so so easy!! also, I found a good tip when doing closet clean out.. when you are putting it back in, take out 2 or 3 items from each of your piles and donate or make them into something else!! I am a bit of a pack rat, and trimming my crap in small amounts more frequently seems less daunting then all at once. I LOVE DIY!!!
I love having a clean closet. I can store my toys and hide there when I have eaten the garbage. Thank you Meg, for helping my mom with her organizationally challenged self.
That dog! GAH! Meanwhile she looks lost in all those clothes...
And while it's ain't perfect...my closet is organized. Those contact paper cubbies was a great idea that I can actually do! Yay! and the doorknobs as hooks idea may solve my curtain deliemma...thanks Meg!
Okay this helped me so MUCH!!!

Also love the doorknobs as hooks - how do you attach them to the wall?
So glad you like the idea!
