Anyone have any great ideas?
I need to call in a closet organizer of sorts California Closets is too expensive. Hanging up clothes is impossible Folding clothes hurts I have told my help just to put everything on the floor of the closet folded in a basket But then I need to fish my normal wear of cami's and yoga pants out. That's all I wear these past years. And my shirts go unworn Jammy's forget it, I just sleep in my clothes |

for me it isn't the hanging so much as pulling out the drawers on my antique dresser...but i love the dresser, it was from my gramma's house. I just bought some commercial grade teflon low friction tape to line all the wood runners with so it is easier to pull them out. It is the kind of thing that commercial food processing plants would line their conveyors with...expensive for tape, but not so much when compared with new drawers!!!

wax or soap works for sticky drawers too.

With my aides, I have used what Johanna says - a shelf for the pajama bottoms, and a shelf for the tops, (or drawers), and I tell the aides to just pile them up folded, so then I just grab one to put on.
No bright ideas from me, as I live in those pjs. I haven't worn my rest of my closet for five years now...ugh, what a waste of a beautiful closet...so much money...(scream!) I still like the soft pajamas of the Gap online. The pull-on pants and tops are so easy, washable, soft...fit is great. Nothing else has been as great. And the really soft marshmallow robes of Victoria's Secret if it's a cold day. No bras for five years! |

I would suggest shoes being stored about hip-level, that way you can select a pair and just scrape them onto the floor. Prevents bending over and picking up.
Agreed: I spend 80% of my day in P.J.'s. wish I had more thoughts on this - but my head is in a fog.

I suggest rows and row of hooks, stacked vertically. From the less substantial on the bottom rungs up to the double kind meant for coats and purses. i can hang something on a hook so much easier than a hanger. and then it doesn't sit in a pile. I want to invent a way to have rows of hooks higher in the closet come out further so that I could have layers of hooks. All I can think of so far is to hire a handyperson to nail them first to blocks of wood before they go into the wall. Then I can hang smaller things like undergarments on the inside lower rungs and taller things like robes and pants on the outer or taller hooks. I envision a wall in my closet of these layers of hooks but for now I have one long row of hooks sold on a wooden block that's meant for coats plus some small coated wire double hooks designed for robes. All these obtained at places like Lowes or Home Depot or Storables. I didn't see what I needed in any closet places.

As for shoes, I only wear one pair of slip on UGGs until they get ratty looking, then buy a replacement...
so we're not much on this closet organization thing, uh, are we? haha... |

Lucky to have 2 closets - in one have metal shelves unit bought fairly cheaply at a big hardware store where I just stuff by type on shelves. In dresser drawers kida shove things by type (Pants or tees, etc.) On bottom shelf have a laundry basket full of things worn only for special activities. A little Obsessive/Compulsive so pre-MS organization helps me continue messes now. If It needs hanging, enlist DH's help. Can no longer clean so knowing weekly cleaning lady won't move piles to clean under them inspires me to put things away. If MIL or somone like that coming have thrown stuff into tub and drawn shower curtain shut. Out of sight, out of mind until I need a shower.
