Last week, I shared a sneak peek of my little "walk-by" closet. Our house was built in the 30's and while it has lots of charm with moldings, hardwood floors, etc. the closet space is somewhat limited. To make the most use of space in my closet, we took down the single door and opened up the front of the closet to accommodate double doors. This gave me full access to each side of the closet and also gave me a space to hang canvas storage bags for shoes. The closet itself is 24"x50" and as you will see, I have maximized storage.
I really wanted my closet to make me smile when I open the doors, so I decided to add some decorative paper to the shelf area. Here is a shot of the closet before I added the paper.
Viola! I would love to replace the hangers with some of the ultra thin flocked hangers, but haven't gotten around to it yet.
Some things that make this little closet work overtime are: the shoe bags, the plastic bin holding belts, gloves, hats, and etc.
You can't really see it in the big picture, but this drop down rod is wonderful because it gives me a second row for hanging skirts, jeans, & pants.
Now for the party...
What to bring: a post involving organization. This could be a recent organizing project or organizing tips & tricks. Be sure to link back and also try to visit others who have joined the party. Thank you for coming!!!

I'm crazy about your closet, Rene! The paper looks great and the contrast with the pretty coral hooks is great!
The sweet little things in life that make us happy! I'd love to open my closet to that everyday! We did the same double doors in my charming 30's closet, too!
The paper makes such a difference!! It's really cute!
Really looks great!! Doesn't it feel good to open those doors to such a masterpiece! Oh and I am very happy to see that I am not alone with the shoe count! ;)
Your closet looks great! I stopped by to link up my master bedroom closet after Cassie told me about your party! Thanks for hosting! Gonna take a look around while I'm here.
I love the paper and that it's held with poster tape! It looks great. Thanks for the party!

I love the paper in your closet as well as the hooks! That mirror outside of the closet is pretty too!
Meg
That wallpaper is fabulous! I am a lover of green! You sure did make the most of every inch of space! Great Job!
What a difference the wallpaper made. It looks great.
Very pretty closet with the fresh wallpaper..I can imagine it IS fun to wake up to...and the shoe bags are so practical!
So organized now, and so pretty with that green paper. I am totally stealing this idea! Question 1: How are those shoe bags hanging? Are they over the door? They don't look it. Question 2: It looks like my linked image is broken? Any way to delete so I can start over linking up? Thanks, Rene!
The paper looks amazing! SO smart to use poster tape! And don't you just love those over the door shoes organizers?! I have them in both of my kids closets and they make a world of difference.
That paper idea is so fabulous! It really brightens up the space. Thanks for sharing!
Wow, Rene! I love that paper and what a great idea! All the hooks and bins are perfect spacesavers. Great tips!
Thanks ya'll! Casey, the shoe bags are hanging by screws & grommets. They came with over the door hooks, but I didn't like seeing them from the outside and it was going to leave marks on the moldings. I will delete your entry - no worries.
Such a great addition with that pop of green paper. I love it. You have me looking at my own closet now. I will link up tomorrow when I get my post done on our tiny pantry!! :)
Fantastic! I love the paper. I never would have thought to use wrapping paper. How affordable. I also love your boots ;)
I posted today about my pantry organization. Everyone is in the mood to clean. I love it!
The paper looks so pretty, Rene, and a clever way to attach it using the poster tape. You have your closet wonderfully organized! Love all of your boots! I live in them at this time of the year.
Your closet is great! I love how you used the backside of the doors, and of course the colorful paper! Thanks for hosting--I love organizing posts!
Poster tape! Now that is brilliant -- especially for folks who are commitment-fobes. You must smile a big smile each time you open up for organized AND pretty closet. You go, Rene!
Love the paper, Rene - it brings your closet to a whole new level! So neat and organized.
Rene....you have made good use of every square inch of that closet. And of course now it is pretty, so all the more reason to leave the doors open!!! Dang, I wish we were neighbors.
It looks great, and I adore that paper!! You've done a fabulous job maximizing that space!!
What a fun surprise when opening your closet each day. I hope to be able to do this one day in our big closet. We have an older home as well so closet space is very limited and cramped. I used to have a LOT of clothes in my single days but having small closets has forced me to donate the old which is a good thing.
I finally got a post together! I've linked up to your party Rene! :)
Woah, if I knew all it took was some poster tape and some pretty paper to turn my closet into a beauty I would have done it years ago! I love this post, thank you so much for the idea!!! Now to get to work cleaning my closet :)
