Sweater Disaster- Before & After

Before
  Eeek!  
Look at all those sweaters ready to fall out of the closet! 
What a disaster!

Okay, let's admit it- sometimes even the best intentions get thwarted by the clutter bug.  So, when the clutter bug settles in, it's time for an organizational overhaul.

Today's project is this disastrous stack of sweaters- AKA The Leaning Stack of Sweaters. haha!




Problems:
  • Messy!
  • Too many sweaters stacked on top of each other
  • Gravity is about to win 
  • Can't tell what's in there


Solutions:
  • First, everything comes off the shelf.  We've got to see what's there and sort it out.
  • Adjust the shelves!  This closet comes with adjustable shelves.  There are WAY too many sweaters for just one shelf.  So, we'll adjust the shelves to create two spaces and divide the tower in two.  
  • A solid foundation- fold every sweater in a uniform manner for stability.  Plus, they're so much prettier!


One Sweater

  • Keep folding & stacking, keeping the large, more bulky ones on the bottom.


After


After- Two Shelves

 Ta Da!  The stack is no longer leaning.  Plus, you can actually see all your options available for the next cold, winter day. 

It's a simple, easy, and free fix that can help you Get It All Together.
