I have what some people might call perfectionist tendencies. I like order, structure, and balance. If it can't be done right, why bother...but once you get in the habit, it becomes so much easier and you don't even think twice about always doing it.
If you don't know already by reading my posts, I am a Realtor...and I absolutely LOVE it! I can't think of anything else I'd rather be doing than meeting people that want my assistance in buying or selling homes! Which brings me to my thoughts today...
I am in a lot of homes...see a lot of decorating styles...see a lot of different things. While showing homes a number of years ago, I noticed how organized and big a closet was. Much to my amazement, it wasn't that big, it just looked big because of the color coding! It's really quite simple. Start with your white clothes. Tank tops, sleeveless shirts, t-shirts, short sleeve w/ collars, long sleeve t-shirts, long sleeve w/ collars...you get the idea. Do each color. Mostly white shirts but with prints, put them in where they belong and so on.
I have kept my own closet this way since. Each time I put clothes away they just slide in where they belong and I always know whether or not something is clean and it is SO much easier in the morning getting ready!
It's like staging your closet to sell as well. Use like colored plastic hangers to keep the neat & tidy look. If you haven't gotten to the closets yet, put it on your list of items to do before you decide to sell your home. It makes my job so much easier and I'll know where you got the idea from!
