Add Shelves and Hooks to Front Closet


Bronze Post Medal for All Time! 162 Posts

Our front closet desperately needed some help. We needed somewhere to store the kid's gloves, mittens, and hats where they could reach them, and I wanted them to be able to be able to hang up their own coats.

Inspired by the modular closets that can be found in many bedrooms, I had my husband build shelves into our coat closet and added hooks for the kids coats. Each person has a shelf in the closet with a bin for their gloves and such, and a space for purses or other "extras", we have a spot for leashes and umbrellas. It's never quite as organized as I'd like it, but the extra storage sure helps.

That's great if you have a husband with tools to put up these shelves!
I have neither! :)

Who needs a husband, I got my own tools, and can do it myself.

An easy option, Monique, involves a quick trip to the dollar store. Pick up a package of shower curtain rings and a package of plastic clothes pins (with holes, as shown).

Add a clothes pin to the shower curtain ring and loop the ring around the top of the hanger with the jacket. Use the clothes pin for mittens, scarf or hat.

If you'd like to store mittens, and scarf and hat with the jacket, simply create a short chain with the shower curtain rings, each with a clothespin.

Easy peasy, no tools necessary.
