So, being the one who is overly anal about loves organization, I convinced him that we should add some shelves.
Since all of the other shelves are painted in here, I got to painting....
Here is the new and improved, clean, organized closet!
Yes, I am the one who color coordinates all of his shirts. He used to complain that he didn't have this color shirt or that color shirt. Now as soon as I get them home from the cleaners (or in the case of the polos, as soon as I've ironed them), I put them away by color. This has completely eliminated his complaints about his shirt selection. :)
The whole project cost only $26.
Since I try to finish my posts by giving full disclosure--here it is. My husband couldn't care less about whether he has a bar, coat rack or shelves. He puts his stuff wherever there is an open spot. :) But, I am in the closet several times a day and am a bit of a neat freak. I love that it is now neat and organized. And we did save the rod so if we ever want to rehang it, we can.
Thanks for coming by. I appreciate your visits and comments!

Pam, you are OCD. As we say at our house, "but in a good way". ; ) You are never looking into my closets- that is where all the secrets are! Well, at least a lot of junk. And no, it is NOT organized at all!
ReplyDeleteLooks great, Pam! You are not the only one that color organizes. I do the same thing. You're lucky that your hubby's clothes make it back to the closet. Mine could learn a few new tricks :) Looks great!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend! xox
I love seeing people's closets! What a great project!
ReplyDeletePerfect!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are way more organized than I.
ReplyDeleteWAY. :-)
Hope you're enjoying your sunday, we just got back from the garden center...I'm a happy girl.
Your closet looks so nice! You would un-follow me if you could see my closet!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE how it looks all organized, but unless his Y chromosome is FAR DIFFERENT than my hubby's, I WONDER how long the organization will last????
ReplyDeleteMy hubby LOVES to keep his shoes in a pile right by the front door!
Well I guess the only way it will stay that way is if you do it LOL!

Wonder if it will stay straight? ;) Your DH will love the shelves. We built in shelves in all our walk-in closets.
ReplyDeleteDropping by from Met Monday. When you have time, come see the chairs I had recovered.

i'm OCD too! and i love it! closet looks great, thanks for stopping by type A and commenting on my living room. xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea...I just did my husbands closet the other day too
ReplyDeleteYou have a beautiful blog and your house is so clean and beautiful! Nice to meet you! Gail
ReplyDeleteWow, that is a neat closet. My husband would take me to the doctor to see what was wrong with me if I took care of his clothing like that. You have officially made me feel bad. I wash and hang his clothing and he usually has to iron them himself. We are both just so busy. Maybe I should find the time to iron his shirts for him....???
ReplyDeleteI could use your closet organization skills in my closets! The best I can do with organization is winter clothes on one rod and summer clothes on another rod :-)
ReplyDeleteGood idea to add the shelves to your closet. There are lots of things that are easier to store and access from shelves than hangers.
amazing results :) I just did something similar to my closet, no pictures though :(
ReplyDeletePam looks great...I have this closet reorg. in the back of my mind not sure how it is all going to work but your project inspires me!
ReplyDeleteLooks great Pam! I need to do a complete closet overhaul at our house!
ReplyDeleteHEY don't not let anybody tell you you're crazy or OCD!!
ReplyDeleteI color coordinate my closet too!!!
It's a must!!!! :)
Your closet looks great! My husband is the same as your husband. He puts things away wherever there's an open space. I finally broke down and labeled the his shelves! I also hang his shirts facing all the same way(he doesn't) and hang them by color!
ReplyDeleteThere is something about a nice clean organized closet that i just love !
ReplyDeleteXOOOX

Pam it looks great. I'm always fixing my husbands side of the closet because I too am the organized one. On the "must have" list for any future home is 2 closets in the master bedroom. Thanks for stopping by and the follow, I'm following you as well.
ReplyDeleteNow this is where I am a slacker...I have little organization in the closet. I should show you all sometime! Yours looks great.
ReplyDeleteI love this - I have been contemplating having my closet be next on my DIY to do list!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting and following my blog - i'm following you back!
Pam, You can come and organize my closet anytime. It looks a lot worse than your hubby's side! Thanks for the sweet comments and stopping by my blog. I'm your newest follower. Blessings, Vicky
ReplyDeleteVery, very spiffy! I love an organized closet, but mine never stays that way for long. I always have good intentions, and I'm always surprised when the chaos takes over once again!
ReplyDeleteHi Pam! I guess husbands have this in common...I organize my hubs closet as well! You did a pretty good job I might add. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by my blog and leaving your sweet comment! I am already following you ;)
Great project! My hubs also is a bit unorganized when it comes to his clothes (it drives me crazy!!!).
ReplyDeleteLooks great! Being organized is something I wish I did better. :) Thanks for stopping by my blog. I'm a new follower of you.
ReplyDeleteOMG....seriously, I thought I was a very neat person until I started reading your blogs. You have so many great ideas that are so inexpensive and that you actually do on your OWN. What I love about you is that you keep so busy with projects and for most of us, we never know what is next. How in the world do you find the time to blog? Love ya sweet cheeks :)
