BROOM CLOSET ORGANIZER FULL

Half were in the closet before, but I was also able to get stuff out of Félix’s closet too. I purchased four matching bins for the top and filled them with our seasonal items. Once the walls were patched, primed and repainted, I found permanent (stable) spots for the brooms.

I wanted to prioritize the broom/sweepers, but also take advantage of the full ceiling height, plus, get things off the floor! Then, when we are done with the projects, I try to put everything back where it belongs (either in the basement or the garage).īut yes, back to the organizing part :) Broom Closet Organization We keep our most-used tools here AND supplies for current projects. But the DIY shelf (and spill-over into the one above) is filled to the brim with stuff for this hallway. I did refresh these shelves when I moved things around on the left side. In order from the top, the shelves are “winter gear”, “bags”, “cleaning supplies/husband bin”, “camera/batteries/cards”, then “DIY tools”, “kids stuff and lunch pails” and the bottom is “coolers and homemade rags“. I used to store my grocery bags in the bin on the second (top) shelf, but they were getting bigger and harder to take down. (Yes, these are the closet doors I was talking about in week 3). I will quickly mention that the other side of the closet is a wooden shelf system. Or worse, they’d fall on us when we slid the doors open.

But ya, sometimes the sweepers would get lost behind the boxes. He calls this the “wine cellar” and we usually have a case or two of wine bottles on the ground. This side of the closet is also where I store my tripod, my main grocery bags and the Husband’s wine. We relocated the light switches to the other side of this wall ( when we redid the kitchen), and I only half patched them. One thing you didn’t notice (because it was behind the non-working broom holder) was our unfinished drywall sections. (Notice the one sweeper with the metal claw stuck on it still!). I think it was one of the earlier purchases of the house, so we’d been living with brooms thrown in (or stuck on the wall) for 2 years maybe. And worse yet, the kids couldn’t take the brooms off the tabs and they’d just fall off. The metal tabs were too hard to snap the brooms on. I had purchased one of those broom handle storage systems but it was NOT working.

Let’s look at the side of the closet that caused the most issues: (And notice Zachary watching TV in the background, ha). Today I’m talking about the closet near the kitchen. We have two closets in our hallway, with the one on the end mostly for towels/toiletries. If you scroll to the bottom of this post, you’ll see my whole to-do list.Īnyways! With me updating the visual part of the hallway, I figured that tackling the closet in the hallway made sense.

But, I wanted to have things to share for each week, so I’m sort of breaking down the projects a bit. Yes, I am “just” doing small cosmetic updates to our hallway, so technically could be done by now. Week 1 was before photos and plans, week 2 I repaired the textured ceiling, week 3 was about painting sliding closet doors and week 4 was my tutorial on mixing paint at home. It’s the 5th week of the 8-week Spring 2022 One Room Challenge. Either way, let’s talk about how the closet not only functions better… but looks better too! (I’m talking about rage mode – something I shared in my email newsletters, ha). Or should I say, how I react when I need to get something in the closet.

Since I am updating our hallway, I figured it made sense to tackle the broom closet organization! And really, just a few small changes have made a HUGE difference in how the closet functions.
