Closet Organization 101: How to Organize Your Closet
How to organize your dresser drawers and fold clothes
The hangers did not save me the 40% as promised but they do look better. I am hanging all the hangers backwards and after I wear it once turning them the right way around. After a year all the hangers that are still on the wrong way I have not worn. I can then justify donating those items. I built a T shirt folder from card board to make all my shirts come out the same size. You can find the "how to's" on youtube.

| Before, mostly fat plastic hangers, some wire and a few skirt hangers with the clips. |
 |
| Before, all of them smushed together is about 30 inches. |
 |
| After, there are still a few good shirt hangers with clips. It looks better but no where near 40% more room in there. I think there had been all fat plastic hangers it might have saved me room. I believe the wire hangers negated my space savings. You can see the skirt hangers with the clips. (far right) |
 |
| After, there are some new slack hangers as well. (far left) |
 |
| Before, socks and underwear. (can't believe my underwear is on the web now). |
 |
| After, underwear and socks by type and color and much easier to access. The black sets did not separate well in the photo but there are a lot of pairs in the black area of the drawer. Most importantly, the same amount in a smaller drawer. |
 |
| After, This drawer that held underwear before now has shirts in it, more shirts than I would have have thought. The new folding method is really huge space saver. |
 |
| After, another drawer with more shirts than you can put in folded the normal way. Added benefit, you can see what shirt you are selecting and not mess up the shirts around it when you pull one out. |
 |
| After, jeans, you can see them now and I think I have about 15 pair in there. |
