Amazon Finds : Closet Organization
After having to remove everything from our bedroom closets for our carpet installation last week, Emmett & I decided it was the perfect opportunity to purge, donate, and really organize our bedroom closets. We have four bedrooms upstairs… our primary bedroom, and three guest spaces. I took the primary closet upon moving in, Emmett claimed the closet in the nearest bedroom, one guest closet has accumulated a lot of our adventure & travel gear (scuba items, luggage, sleeping bags, etc), and the fourth closet is completely empty for guests to use. While we have plenty of storage space, our goal certainly isn’t to fill every closet. We try to be very intentional about the items we purchase and bring into our home. Every once in awhile, it’s good to take inventory, make donations, and evaluate how we can better organize the things we use on a regular basis. As you probably guessed, that led me to look for a few new bins, baskets, and drawer organizers over the weekend.

Unlike our previous home, where we designed and added systems to every single closet in the house… we have yet to renovate or address any of the closets in our current home. Why? Mostly because they already had good systems in place when we moved in- and we have plenty of storage. We do have plans to rework the primary closet (so Emmett & I can share it), but that won’t happen until we tackle our primary bath in the future. In the meantime, I would definitely like to add organizers, potentially do a little painting, and freshen the existing closets- since we plan to keep them. Now that they have new carpet and are looking better, I’m feeling motivated to give them a quick organizational refresh. Would you be interested in seeing some future organization posts once my closet items arrive? Our biggest issue was shoe storage, so I already added some racks to Emmett’s closet…
I like when everything has a place and is also aesthetically pleasing. In our previous home, I designed everything to fit perfectly. This time around, it’s more about finding organizational tools that fit existing spaces, drawers, and cabinets. Luckily, you don’t have to spend thousands of dollars on custom closets or cabinetry to have beautifully organized storage…. you just have to take good measurements and find the right tools for the space.
I ended up saving a bunch of closet organization items, and after some careful measuring I ended up grabbing quite a few. I had an Amazon gift card from the holidays and I figured this would be a great, productive use for it. I’m definitely feeling the renewed January energy to get things in order at the beginning of the year. Anyone else? Here are the things I saved…

I’m just waiting on them to arrive, so I can dive in and play the infuriating (yet satisfying) game of closet tetris! I’ll report back with what I found most helpful.
I’m also planning to record some quick closet tours, so you can see the before and what I’m working with. My hope is to have these finished by the end of the month, so they coincide with my guest room reveal. What January home goals are you working toward? I’ll say this… there is nothing more motivating than having house guests. Ha. Emmett’s sister and her family of five will be here at the beginning of February, and I’d love to have our guest spaces in better shape before then. We’ll see how it goes!
All of these photos of closets I’ve organized in the past have me itching to log off and spend a couple days purging, sorting, and assigning our things a designated spot. I’m not entirely sure where this newfound motivation came from, but I’m going to roll with it for as long as my mind & body will allow. Emmett has also been on the organization train alongside me- over the weekend he suggested we wash our sofa slipcover, all the bedding & blankets in our house, and organize the kitchen. It has been super productive over here, and I’m feeling lighter already. I’ve got a fun post lined up for you on Friday, so be sure to check back!
Of course you can always find my Amazon selections in my storefront. I update my curated lists weekly and I add 5-6 roundups per week… of whatever is on my radar or floating around my mind. I hope they continue to be helpful!
