New Years resolution~Organize that closet


closet_double.jpg
It's that time of year again....New Years resolution time! What are we going to accomplish this year? I've given up on the ten pounds I've promised to lose for the last ten New Years. I might even have a ceremonial backyard burning of the old favorite jeans I have given up on ever getting into again.

Have you made a New Years resolution this year? Let us hear about your plans....maybe we can help each other, at least with moral support.

This year I am serious about getting my closet in order. With very limited space, it's going to be a challenge. But burning those old jeans might be a good start!

A previous owner lowered the whole closet ceiling to install a small duct for central air-conditioning. My first project will be to raise the ceiling behind the duct, and reclaim all that storage space.

Martha Stewart had some great suggestions for stretching closet space. (If I had a gazillion dollars and lots of employees, my closet would be great too, Martha. Can you tell I'm jealous? Insanely!!) Click on the link below to see Martha's suggestions:
