Closet Clean Up

Every January I have off from FIT for winter break, it's wonderful! And since I feel like a chicken with it's head cut off during the semesters, in January I catch up on everything I want to do around our tiny 500 square foot apartment. Because let's be honest, if I don't do it now, it won't happen once school starts #fitownsme.

Cleaning our closet out was on my list of things to do this January. A small task compared to what I am doing in our kitchen, but an important task none the less. Now if I could, I would have a beautiful closet like this...

But the reality was this...

A hot mess. As much as I love wood hangers, I knew it was time to give them up if I wanted any room in our closet. We physically couldn't hang anything else up. So I caved and we bought the ultra thin velvet hangers...

And what a difference they made! I don't know why we didn't do this earlier...

Now I just need to go donate all these clothes and shoes. And for those who asked, I would sell them on the blog but it just seems like more of hassle than it's worth. But I am flattered you asked!

And here is a sneak peak of our chandelier coming together last night. I love it so much I can't even explain! I just love beautiful, clean things.

Happy Wednesday friends!

is the chandelier a DIY or just putting one together that you bought? can't wait to see the finished product!

You did a great job organizing and I just LOVE velvet hangers, soon you will not know what you did without them. And I totally agree that selling clothes on the blog is too much of a hassle!

Is this your last year at FIT? Will you be staying in NY after you graduate? I imagine that you will have plenty of opportunity.

Ohh, I love a huge closet cleaning session! I put it off ALL THE TIME, but I just started my closet cleaning project as well! What girl wouldn't want a nice, roomy closet like the first photo though.. :( ?

You did a great job! It's crazy how much of a difference the hangers make. I may have to look into swapping mine too, I hardly have room in my closet anymore!

Hands down these are my fave hangers of all time. Personally I find them more attractive than the wood ones, and a tonne more practical. They are so delicate on all your clothes! I have a few, but I want to make the switch to having them alll the same.

It feels much better no? The key is to keep in organized. A lot of people have a hard time with that, for some reason I'm good at not messing up my closet. It may have to do with the fact that i dont share it with my husband hehe
