When I was visiting my sister I gave her an early birthday gift.

Nothing says happy birthday better than brand new shelves to organize your front closet! Isn’t that something you’ve always wanted for your birthday? lol
I LOVE these cubbies and shoe stackers!! Look at how much room they create. I even have one in my own front closet if you remember. To do my sister’s closet I purchased two of the 3 shelf cubbie organizers and 2 of the shoe rack organizers. Walmart had the best prices and I was able to get all four for $55.00. The baskets we got from the dollar store although Closetmaid (who makes these shelves) has the most awesome fabric drawers to go with these cubbies that are just perfect. Unfortunately they are also really expensive at $7.00 each so we settled for the $1.00 baskets instead. I think my sister was most excited to finally have somewhere for her purse and a I’m outta here shelf! There is even a basket for ball caps and winter hats and mitts.
I loved how this looked so much that I thought they should just take the door off or at least leave the door opened on a permanent basis so we could just sit and stare at it lovingly for hours on end. Yeah funny thing, they didn’t think that was such a great idea which is so totally weird but whatever!

It is so true I love it. It is a system that works for both my husband and I. It is simply amazing how much more room we found in the closet. I am thinking that I am going to do the other closests in my house as I get the money. LOVE IT and thanks again Laura.

I finally got around to my son’s closet & our bedroom closets as well (two tiny ones). And I completely forgot to take pictures - sorry. I would be all over some of those organizers but just found out we have to move so I’ll wait until I have new closets & cabinets to complain about before I organize. For now I’m working on purging so I don’t have so many boxes to unpack.
I need to build a closest. We only have closest in the bedroom (don’t like that about this house…I miss having a hall closest).

GREAT CLOSET!!
Good question. I have a boot tray by my front door where the boots and things are left until they dry and then we put them away (you can just see the corner of it in the picture of my front door). You’ll notice though that in my sister’s closet we moved the boot tray to the first shelf to keep the boots out of the way. My sister may choose to leave it there or bring it down at winter time and put it by her door.
Sorry I don’t have a better solution for you.
I do love my little hat and mitt hanger that sits on my floor by the door to dry things out.
You’re an inspiration, I tell ya, an inspiration!
The closet looks GREAT!

Are those the wooden shelfs? They are not assembled when you buy them?
Thank you for all the help.

It looks great. My birthday is in three days and I live in Holland. I will leave the door open. Make yourself at home!
