I have a big pantry in my kitchen but it doesn't have any shelves. The previous renters asked to take the shelves out and used it to store other things. I don't need a bigger pantry so I just stored a few things in it but it was mostly empty. Then I saw these photos and knew what I wanted to do! The

I was previously storing my vacuum in my hall/coat closet but it took up a lot of room and meant my rain boots and uggs were just sort of thrown in on top. It made sense to move it to the cleaning closet

| Such a poor use of space! Duster and mop, plastic bags, paper towels, and my apron |
 |
| Still a work in progress but on its way! * I moved the paper towels to the under kitchen sink spot |
 |
| Attached hooks to hold my mops/brooms/duster so they aren't falling over |
 |
| Added some of the contact paper I blogged about before on the bottom |
 |
| The TJ Maxx bag holds paper bags and reusable bags, the silver thing holds plastic bags |
Where do you store your cleaning products? What else should I include in my space? I have room on the side for more hooks
Wow.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I am so impressed! The makeover makes it look super organized. I love that you added the contact paper as that just adds a bit of fun color on the bottom. I would add more hooks - maybe move your TJ Maxx reuseable bags to the top right inside wall of the closet. I would also raise up the hook your apron is on, too. Otherwise, looks so great to me.

The apron isn't actually on a hook yet-it's just on the little thing where the shelf used to be. HA! I need to add hooks and a shelf but I haven't measured yet
DeleteMuch better. Definitely a hook for an umbrella! And what about one of those wire rack hangy things that you can put into showers but hang it off a hook and put little bits and pieces in it? Love your blog! :-)
ReplyDeleteA hook for an umbrella is a great idea! Thanks!
DeleteI actually bought one of those shower hook things but I haven't put it up yet. I am not sure if I want to nail anything and it might be too heavy for one of the stick on hooks. I'll have to check!
Looks great! I have a closet similar to that which I keep my trash can, recycling and come cleaning products in but I feel like I could utilize the space better
ReplyDeleteI should add my trash can and recycling actually. I would need to move the stuff on the bottom to a shelf to do that. I am thinking about putting a shelf at the top
DeleteI definitely need to invest in a plastic bag holder. Right now I have them stuffed in an old oatmeal container - SO classy!
ReplyDeleteHey whatever works!
DeleteSuch a difference. Wow!
