Dreamin' and Cleanin'

Last week, upon our return from Jackson Hole's snowy weather, we were greeted with warm Spring weather in Georgia. It got me jazzed to "swap over" my closets. In our 50's ranch-style house, closet space is not quite in abundance. So, out of the 4 tiny closets we have, I have one, David has one, our linens are in one, and my crafts are in the last one. Mine is technically the only "walk-in" closet, but that's a bit of an over-statement.
I digress....I store my summer things in a little antique armoire in one of the guest rooms to make way for winter coats and such. And during the summer, we store our winter/ski things down in the basement and use the little armoire for sweaters, scarves, and boots. I had so much fun cleaning out my closet and remembering what I have! It got me pumped for some lake time, some beach time, and some warmer weather clothes. Have you done your spring cleaning yet?

Taking out all my winter things, and making piles....give away, throw away, and sell.

My little armoire is the home of my summer things during the colder months.

Agggghhhhhh! Our bedroom was a disaster! But, I was able to really clean out the little space. Since there's hardwoods in there, they needed a good vacuuming too.

And here she is with all of the bright fun stuff for the warmer months.

Its so fun for me to do this....I always forget what I have!

 I wanted to show a few pictures of dream closets I have seen on TV, both real and staged....they are more like boutiques than closets!

Miss Paris Hilton's closet. Obviously, she loves pattern and color in her clothes like I do. The mirrored cabinet in the middle is super glam! And that chandelier!

And Ms. Oprah Winfrey's well-organized space. Truly, a place for every thing. I love her lanterns! 

Did any of you see this episode of Cribs? Well, this is Mariah's closet. It really should be called Mimi's Boutique! With babies on the way, something tells me that she won't be wearing all those stilettos anymore! I love the petite tufted pink silk chair. It looks amazing sitting on those fabulous marble inlaid floors.

How much fun would it be to get dressed in here with all of your girlfriends?!?!

THE iconic Carrie Bradshaw closet from her apartment. I love the beautiful blue paint on the cabinetry.

I love the rug too....not to mention those gorgeous couture clothes hanging along the rods. I loved the time when she and her girlfriends tried on all of her old clothes.

And what an upgrade she had when Big designed this closet for them in the new apartment! This takes His & Hers to a whole new level!

Its not the size of a small house, but for now, I am happy to have my little closet organized and at the ready when I need her. And the organizing freak that I am really loves my time to myself doing my spring cleaning.
