Goal 5
Closet Clean-out
After spending all of 2019 decluttering my sewing studio, late in the year I also began decluttering other areas of our house. A big focus has been my closet. I had lots of clothes I didn't wear because they didn't fit or I didn't like them anymore.
I'm eager to finish the job and have a closet full of clothes I love to wear!
- So I've analysed the actual closet shelving drawers etc and decided to reorganize the layout.
- Decided to begin to collate 4 seasonal capsule wardrobes!
- I'll donate most of the clothes I no longer want
- Some clothes I'll set aside to cut up for the fabric
- I'll use my extensive collection of scarves to dress up basic capsule wardrobe pieces but need to have a proper space to hang them!
To begin the year I had 3 piles of clothes like this one just sitting around my bedroom because they didn't fit in the closet/drawers! I'm slowly making space for it all by culling the quantity of clothes I own!
I've reduced the number of blouses hanging in there by about half! Which made space to hang my scarves neatly on their own hangers! Which means I can find the ones I want!
Half as many blouses still leaves me lots of variety:
And it made space for my scarves and vests to be properly hung:
My shoes are mostly in their hangers:
I culled my coats and dresses by about half, so they hang loosely instead of being jammed in!
My hoodies and sweatshirts have a full shelf:
And my hiking clothes even got a spot on the top shelf:
So I have completed the walk in closet!
I still have a dresser and a few other shelves in the main part of our bedroom that are partially decluttered but need more work.

Stay tuned to see this project progresses in 2020!
