... little boy's closets. Over a month ago we added closet inserts into the boy's room. We did this for practical reasons like having more floor space for them and for maximizing the capacity of the closets. After living in a home with built-ins in every closet and seeing how helpful that was for organizing I am a huge fan now.
This layout was worked out by Dave and I searching out the best components at the best price. Having sliding doors is a challenge since you can only have one side open at a time. That means you shouldn't put anything that is accessed everyday in the middle. The top two shelves were the one that was already there plus the same self and brackets that we removed from our own closet last year. We just didn't use the hanging bars across.
We purchased another shelf and brackets to go above the metal drawers. The drawers and hanging bar are from Ikea. For two little boys with very little that needs hanging up this option works well. I don't think they'll need more hanging space than that for many years.
As you can see clothes, books (lots of them) and blankets as well as stuffed animals and keepsakes are all in this standard size closet. I was able to get everything except the hand-me-down clothing in there and free up more of our storage room space.
The baskets are great visually and they are easy to pull out. Overall I am thrilled by the transformation of this project. Dave did the construction and I have to say that he is a trooper with me when it comes to this stuff. But he can't ever fully comprehend how happy an organized closet makes me. It just helps the day go smoothly, yah know?
