New Year, New Goals
Well can you believe 2020 is here? I cannot! Time is flying by so quickly! That meme going around that says 1980 was 20 years ago made me stop and say, right?? LOL.
Do You Make New Year's Goals?
I always used to do the same ole same ole until I realized that "getting healthy" should be a year round goal, not just a once a year goal. So if one of your New Year, New Goals is to get organized, I can help you make that a year round goal as well!
Where do I start?
Where do I start is a question I get a lot! My answer is simple. Start somewhere. Start small. Create small victories so you feel accomplished. Small victories add up to bigger victories and pretty soon you've done it!This year I decided to take my own advice and start small. I have several closets in my home that don't have a "set purpose". We are empty nesters now and that created several empty bedrooms and closets. I want those closets to be on my New Year, New Goals list.One closet in particular is the one right outside my office. I am blessed to have two coat closets in this house plan. We use one for coats, and the other one was being used for all our winter gear. When we moved here from Colorado in 2012, we had all the outdoor snow gear, so I designated that closet as the "winter" closet. Fast forward to being back in Texas a while made me realize we hadn't used that gear in years. So I sold most of it on my neighborhood Facebook market place, and all that was left was this.... Two pairs of boots, some old videos, extra light bulbs, and off season decor storage during Christmas!
First Step: Make a plan for your space.
This closet is my first project on my New Year, New Goals list. I decided to better utilize this closet for all my Neat Freak McKinney back stock. I like to keep my favorite organizing products on hand, and my office and car were overflowing. Enter the extra coat closet!
Why I chose an Elfa System:
I decided to take advantage of the Elfa Sale and put in an over the door system! It's so easy to install! Here are the parts I started with:
The first thing you need to do is measure your door. We have 8 foot doors in our home and this length fits my doors perfectly! They come ready made in two sizes but can be cut to fit!
Next, I assembled all the parts on the door. No holes or drilling required. It might have been easier with another set of hands, but I can do these in my sleep by now and don't need any extra help, other than a ladder.
I also needed the commercial sized over the door hook. So be sure you measure the width of your door too!
It literally took me five minutes to install. It comes with an Allen wrench to tighten and secure the top bracket. It's so easy!
Next, I added in all the back stock I had in my office and car. This system is great because you can change the height of each basket to fit your needs.
I added this utility board to hang decor from. You can customize it with all different types of hooks! They even have clear boxes that clip on to hold tape, ribbon, safety pins, anything you want! This system is so versatile and that's why I love it. All my clients have different needs and I can custom fit for any space!
The rest of the space I am using for storage. I incorporated my stacking drawers that hold so much, my light ring, tripod, garment rack, and extra tall light bulbs! Everything I need to Neat Freak is all right there!
I am so excited about this! Organizing makes me happy! This closet now has one purpose and is steps away from my office!
Right now everything Elfa is 30% off! 30% off all products and 30% off installation too! I can help you design the closet of your dreams. Whether it be a storage closet or your Master Closet, I can help you. Email me if you're interested! I can help you locally or virtually!
