Messiest closet makeover winners Naples Daily News
Reality TV is a sham. Do people really think a team of smiling organizers; contractors and flower-in-their-hair television hosts will show up at their door; take one look around before sending them on their way with a kiss on the cheek and an airline ticket?
Get real! It's one thing to admit you need help getting organized; it's another thing altogether to enter a contest and then succumb to a whirlwind 10-hour day with a professional organizer who makes you sweat right alongside her. And then wait while an organizing cabinetry company measures your spaces, and then wait again for them to arrive.
But that's exactly what our winners, Lee Horton and Belinda Alvarez did. The contest guidelines asked for photos and a brief narrative describing why they thought they should win. next Friday, Sept. 30.
Looking at the original entry photos, I kept thinking something was amiss; it wasn't until I set foot in the house and saw boxes of shoes strewn everywhere that reality hit.
True,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Lee seemed to have taken over the master closet with his "stuff,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," which included too many tee shirts and 11 bins filled with God knows what, but that's because Belinda's things cluttered the rest of the house.
Scheduling was tight. Three days after "winning" the contest, the fun began; nineteen days later,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the new closet was installed and everything put away where it belonged.
Although we received numerous entries exhibiting closets more chaotic than the one ultimately selected,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], there were other criteria - most importantly the willingness to get rid of stuff - that were taken into consideration.
My mantra, "everything has a place and a place for everything" took on new meaning as we sorted through multiple boxes, bins and dressers in an attempt to declutter, consolidate and make room. With very few exceptions,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Belinda and Lee trusted me to help them make the right decisions.
His side: Eleven bins, filled with "stuff" were relegated to the home office. Lee promises to sort through the boxes until everything is either sold on eBay, tossed out or stored someplace other than the master closet.
Her side: Thinking more drawers equaled more space, Belinda crammed two space-hogging dressers into her side of the closet; they're gone, and so are myriad pairs of pantyhose,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], socks, panties, belts, and scarves.
Consolidate. Our biggest task was moving ALL of Belinda's clothing, shoes and handbags into one closet. Five dressers (23 actual drawers) were reduced to one nine-drawer dresser and eight shelves:
Shoes and handbags: After culling a mass of designer handbags and infinite pairs of shoes, everything was moved from the guest room into the master closet.
Costume jewelry: Previously stored in a multitude of boxes inside two dresser drawers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]; Belinda's costume jewelry now fits in the sectioned drawer provided by Custom Closets More.
Toiletries, medicines and cosmetics: We emptied two linen closets of assorted bottles and jars of lotions, hair products and cosmetic "freebies," keeping only those products currently in use.
Consigned or donated: In total, 97 items were consigned and 8 huge bags of "stuff" donated.
I decided the most effective way to organize the master closet would be to separate the Lee and Belinda so they could make decisions on their own with my guidance.
Explaining how it was easier to divide the project into smaller,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], more doable tasks,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], we got started. For Belinda, this meant starting with the bulkier stuff - shoes, hats and handbags - and for Lee, the small stuff - socks and briefs.
Then, working one section at a time, they sorted through the rest of their clothing until the job was done: tops,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], bottoms, dresses from Belinda; shorts,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], jackets from Lee; tees, outerwear and workout clothes from both.
Since the optimal way to design a functional closet is to know what gets put back and where, it was imperative we finish Phase I - sorting, tossing, folding and hanging everything up - by 3 o'clock when the closet contractor would arrive. One hour to go. .
Interestingly,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the dilemma for all but two of the contestants was turning the ubiquitous Florida "walk-in" closet, which barely accommodates one person, into a efficient shared space. and me back to organize the garage.
There's one last caveat to the messiest closet makeover and that's a three-month follow-up visit,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Stay tuned,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]!
We invite you to send us questions about how to get and stay organized, which will be addressed in future columns.
Hint of the day: If you want to keep your closets organized, try "Real Simple Slimline" velvet hangers from Bed Bath Beyond. (Available in black, stone or blue. 50 per box for $29.99) Your clothes will look beautiful,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], all lined up in a row, and because the hangers are thin, you'll actually gain room in your closet. But the real "secret" to maintaining order is to buy just enough hangers for what's hanging in your closet; when you run out, it's time to purge.相关的主题文章:
