Hello home, girl!

making a home on a tiny budget.

Do you need to refresh your walk-in closet?

Truly, I believe that messy spaces are a reflection of your mind. It’s a signal that you haven’t been taking care of yourself to tend to your most sacred of spaces. Your closet, in particular, is the place that is crucial in your early morning rush out the door.

Do you need to refresh your walk-in closet?

The easier it is to find what you need to get dressed, the more efficient you are to get your day started on a positive note with the clothes that make you feel your best.

My sister Regina is the most selfless person EVER. She takes selflessness to another level. She spends most of her time doing acts of service for other people (most of which she never mentions). Because of this, let’s just say that self-care is not her strong suit and she has little time to tend to herself. As a result, her walk-in closet got a little out of hand.

My gift to the world’s BEST sister is a closet refresh!

Walk-in closet refresh versus makeover

Notice how I called it a *refresh* and not a makeover. A makeover would entail, in my opinion, an overhaul of the overall closet system. Think new shelves, rods, possible drawers, and other displays to create a more custom aesthetic.

One day we’ll get there, but for now, we’re just making the best out of the pre-existing closet to stay budget-conscious. Besides, I’m fresh off of a full makeover myself!

We’ve all been here before.

The mission

Before, the walk-in closet was in extreme disarray. My sister was unable to really walk into the closet (isn’t that the point?). As a result, the top shelves were inaccessible. Everything was unorganized, making it hard to find anything that you were looking for.

My mission was to improve the organization of the closet to make it a happier place to get ready in the morning. Hopefully, you’ll find this closet refresh and organization a little bit more attainable and easily easier to get done!

Living with a refreshed closet will help you to really analyze your habits before ramping up for a full walk-in closet makeover.

Questions for kickstarting a closet refresh

If you are unsure of whether you need to analyze your current closet situation, ask yourself:

  1. Can you actually walk inside your walk-in closet?
  2. Can you find any particular item in 10 seconds?
  3. Are you frustrated when getting dressed because you can’t find anything?

The final question is THE MOST important.

4. Do you feel overwhelmed by your messy environment?

I’m excited to share the small improvements that we are making to the space! I’m breaking it down in several parts as it is still in progress. I hope the tips that I share will be helpful for you to do your own walk-in closet refresh! STAY TUNED!

Blessings,

Felicia.

    Really great post, Roommay! This can also be applied to dressers and other clothing storage. I use the clothes in my dresser more, because I WFH, and having the dresser organized so that I can quickly find what I need is essential.

      Great point, Roommay! Infusing joy through organization of all forms can make the ickiest of Mondays a little better.

In the comments, I want to know if you have a half bath in your home!

Although it's still in the 90s here in Texas, summer's officially over. So I thought I'd bid adieu by looking back.

I'm so thankful for the places I visited, the people I met, and lessons I've learned.

Let me know one fun thing you did this summer!

First, I used a float for most of the #backsplash . But using the premixed #grout + the bevels made it hard to get between the tiles.

When it came to the edges, we used our fingers. It just worked better for us.

In conclusion, JUST USE WHAT WORKS. The grout instructions didn't say to use your fingers, but we did. 🤷🏾‍♀️

I hide things in plain sight often so that people don't need to feel embarrassed to ask for personal items.

Plus, storage in water closets can be kinda tricky. I got rid of my over the toilet storage cabinet and opted for floating shelves. The basket helps to add another bathroom storage solution to the room! (I got a new blog post about that topic...link in bio.)

Do you struggle with bathroom storage? LMK in the comments!

Also, do you have an auntie who cleans out your stash every time she visits? Or is that one just me? 🤭🤣

My mom's plant is still alive some 2 years and 9 m My mom's plant is still alive some 2 years and 9 months later.

I decided it was bout time to put her plant in an attractive pot to hang there all cute and whatnot. It hasn't grown much in the last almost 3 years, but growth wasn't really the goal. 

The goal was just to keep it alive since many pieces of it were struggling at one time. To keep the pests from eating away at what was left.

I guess the plant has been imitating my life.
