Clear out the clutter: closet edition

It has been an incredibly busy week and I’m finally only getting around to my blog! Work has to come first right 😉 I spent the weekend working at the Ottawa Boat Show seeking new leads for my other side gig with Ottawa Foot Doctors (And dreaming of a life on a yacht).

For bright grey creations,  I’ve been working on drafting new designs for a four-plex renovation project that will be starting in a couple weeks. We have a couple kitchens and bathrooms to do, which I love! I can’t wait to share these ideas with y’all (accent borrowed from Dr. Phil).

Finally, I’ve been trying to pack 10 travel days worth in a carry-on suitcase… For those who know me well, you’ll understand that this task is next to impossible for me to achieve. I’m taking my man on a trip to Nicaragua for his birthday (which was earlier this month). We leave tomorrow! I got the flights on travel points accumulated through my dedication to using my VISA card (they are so nice, aren’t they?) The catch? In order to get to Managua, Nicaragua: we need to travel via Chicago and Houston. With that many connections, I couldn’t risk the airline losing my luggage… carry-on it is. Chris doesn’t seem to be too concerned with this… all he needs is underwear, t-shirts and a toothbrush right?

I was researching “packing light” ideas when my ADD kicked in. When we had our house renovated, we asked our contractor to build the closets with a double curtain rod and built-in. Although great to hang my clothing collection, it didn’t solve my purse hoarding problem. I came across this idea to hang accessories on your closet bar using shower curtain hooks or rings (and inexpensive too!)

For the man closet!

I’m adding this to my to do list for my purses, scarves, necklaces and Chris’s ties! Maybe find some cool vintage hooks (instead of plain white ones) that add a little charm to my display of accessories?

Have you found some great ways to keep your closet clutter free?
