Updated Closet Tour | Making Room for Two
Hi friend! Yay for Friday! It’s been such a busy week and I’m really looking forward to the weekend!
I’ve been honored to work with a few coaching clients this week and it makes my heart so happy! It’s been a lot of work behind the scenes, but is something I’m so passionate about and feel very fulfilled doing! If you want to schedule a call with me, I’d love to talk to you!
Your Faves This Week
I love seeing what y’all love and here’s what topped your list this week!
Patch Pocket Jeans – reminds me of a chino pant, but better!
Linen Pants – functional drawstring and lightweight, in more colors and stripes!
Linen Dress – great shape on this dress and it’s fully lined
Collared Coverup – was smitten with the polished look of this coverup dress
Quince Bella Jeans – the dark wash looks so polished, these are always a fave for a reason!
Entryway Rug – so happy with this in my entryway
Mixed Media Top – modern and elevated look from Quince as always
Floral Maxi Dress – love the bright colors and florals, I already wore it to church!
Polka Dot Pants – linen pants with darling polka dots for a fun pop
Woven Ella Tote – fits so much, I love using this in the spring and summer
Updated Closet Tour | Making Room for Two
The two month countdown is on until Elliott moves in full time!
He’s been slowly bringing more and more things over and says that now, when he’s at his townhouse he feels like he’s visiting there and feels at home with us here. Love that! And he has his own office and the garage is also his domain. Along with the landscaping and pool upkeep! This man does so much!
Of course, him being here full time means I need to make room for his things in our shared closet. Not that it’s a big ask – the closet is plenty big enough for both of us. I just had to do some decluttering and rearranging. I love this kind of thing and wanted to share where we’re at so far with it!
The closet is a big walk-in style with lots of vertical space I don’t even use. Those bags on the top shelf can be moved to our downstairs hall closet since they’re mostly for travel and pool days.
The pull down hanging bars over the dresser will be where Elliott will hang his suits that he wears less frequently. He works from home also and is in the travel industry. Luckily, he can reach that bar easily whereas I have to get on my tippee toes.
As of now, Elliott has both the top dresser drawers and one lower drawer. I take up the rest with my intimates, pajamas, workout clothes, shorts and belts. Luckily, we have more drawer space in our nightstands.
We’ve made the left side of the closet “his side” and so far he’s just got a handful of shirts, jeans and shoes. This man likes his boots and has a collection, so we’ll see how those all fit. . .
Continuing to the left, I had all my jewelry on that blank shelf and back wall, but he helped me move everything to the other side. Now, he can add more of his hanging clothes there.
On the bar are all of my Amazon jeans, pants and skirts. I found clear kids hangers at The Container Store and love how minimal and clean they look here.
Beyond that are my dresses. This is the only space where we can hang long things. The basket is for our dirty clothes and the folding ladder is for when I need to reach the tall shelves.
And all the shoes! It sounds crazy, but I do try to limit my collection.
On the opposite side are the rest of my jeans with labels by brand so I can easily find them. It helps when I’m sharing things for work.
Below the jeans are my bags, separated by clear dividers to keep them upright and separated.
Bracelet Holder • Earring Stand • Necklace Holder • White Baskets
Here is where my jewelry was relocated. I like to have everything where I can see it.
The jewelry box is an Amazon find and I like it for organizing my rings and earrings I reach for often, plus watches and seasonal earrings in the drawers.
Bracelet Holder • Earring Stand
Bracelets are displayed on this three-tiered organizer.
Bracelet Holder • Earring Stand
And I also have two earring stands with several little decorative bowls holding jewelry I reach for often.
I especially love the acrylic necklace holder. You can attach it to your wall with the adhesive strip it comes with or with screws. I chose to use the screws. I like how it keeps your necklaces easily accessible and tangle free.
Purse Hangers • White Baskets (on major SALE!)
I have a few more bags hanging and then my tops take up two bars. They’re organized by weight and color, with the very end being all my Amazon clothes – which is helpful when I’m sharing things for my blog.
My hangers are from California Closets but sadly, I can’t find them online. I love how thin these space saving hangers are, but they’re not velvet, so they don’t get dirty with fuzz and lint.
I like using these acrylic dividers to separate my folded sweaters, but since it’s getting warmer here, my sweaters and warmer weather clothing are in the white bins on the top shelf. I added the above older picture so you could see.
A feature that I quickly got spoiled by is that the lights turn on automatically when you walk into the closet. It’s insanely satisfying to not have to reach for the light switch!
To make more room in the closet dresser, I moved my swimsuits and coverups to the drawers in my nightstand dresser.
I got lucky that the organizing bins fit perfectly in here!
I’m so excited for Elliott to be here all the time. I miss him so much when he’s gone – he’s such a soothing presence in my life. And, he’s been my biggest cheerleader while I’ve studied to become a health coach and taken on my first few clients. Only 225 days ’til we get married!!

It reminds me of a French play from the 1700s I had to read in college…the translated title is : an embarrassment of riches.
Wow you have a lot of bags, hweve your closet is amazing!!!
As much as I’m glad that you are sharing with Elliot, I always loved that you had that entire closet to yourself. Per usual, you have organized it perfectly.
I’m happy to share! As long as I get to keep it organized! 😉 Elliott tries to live pretty minimally, but it will be interesting to see once ALL of his things are here! I’m sure there will be compromises to be made and things to rearrange (in other parts of the house too!)
I am so excited for you to live the next chapter of your life. Is it weird I am excited for someone I have never met?! I am also very jealous of the amount of storage you have and the amount of bags you possess!!
Thank you Aileen! I do appreciate that! I do have too many bags- I say I keep them for styling purposes when I share outfits, but I wonder how many I’d keep if I didn’t have this job?!
