The Closet Shrink: Spring Fling(ing)

May 16, 2013 by Urban Closet 4 Comments

I've been sorting and purging and re-storing our things over the last few weeks, but I really like this process. It lends opportunity to taking a close look at your things for the coming season or two - it's more obvious for children, who outgrow things like jackets, pants, and shoes, but my own … [Read more...]

Hey, What’s That Smell?

May 18, 2012 by Tracey

Now and again, our hall closet seems to experience that not-so-fresh feeling, and I want to run out and by some Massengill. Massengill for Closets, I mean. A douche for your depository, maybe? Go have a walk on the beach and talk about it with your mother. (Hold hands, even.)It's a normal phenomenon … [Read more...]

Overdoor Pocket Bags (otherwise known as overdoor shoe bags)Of all the various organizers I have in my house, these are my favorites. By far.Until recently these over-the-door bags were marketed mainly for shoes.
