Closet Organizing

Living in a 2 story house has its pros and cons. One con is that you never (we never) want to walk upstairs to put our shoes or other things light that away.

I will admit that it is more my husband then me, hehe sorry love.

There are currently about 7 pairs of his shoes downstairs and 5 hats. Hubby is very particular about his hats and doesn't like me to hardly touch them (exaggeration a tad), so the hooks will mess the shape of his hats up ...apparently. I got an ok on the nicer hats being put upstairs while the everyday hats can go on the hooks.

With that being said I went to the store and got some $3 hooks and used an ikea hanging shelf we already had and solved my battle with the clutter downstairs. Shoes go in the shelves (along with stray socks sometimes) and hats are hung on the hooks.

Then There is a hook on the other side for my purse and the diaper bag to be hung. PERFECTION, even if the hook is not in a stud :) I did this project while hubby was hunting.

There are a few hangers for a stray shirt or jacket and a lot of other things in the back that we just wont look at for a while...... stop looking at it!

Make my life easier with keeping my house clean, at least when it comes to shoes, hats, etc. still working on everything else.

Pin Test: Color Coding Keys with Nail Polish

In this process I relieved I don’t vary far from a fewcolors of nail polish. The few colors that are different from my norm were agift. Here are the Colors I used.

I taped off my keys so that I would have a straight line andthen I got to painting. I used 3 coats, which was needed to not have atransparent color. The only exception was the purple and pink keys. My favoriteone was the purple as the color went on smooth and was not transparent.

 

Clips really helped with being able to paint both sides at once.

After a few weeks of use they are holding up well except fora few of my keys keep getting stuck together and needed to be pulled apart. The purple nail polish is holdingup the best and looks great. I would recommend that nail polish brand for aproject like this or one not transparent and only use 2 coats.

I would say this pin is a pass as long as you use the right nail polish. Lucky for me the keys that stick together are rarely used.
