How I overhauled my family’s messy closet—with a $0 budget.

, they tell me that you need to take everything out of the closet when you’re organizing. I will confess that in the nearly seven years I have lived in my apartment, I have never emptied our main closet. This time I did, and it really helped me reorganize for our needs right now–not our needs from 6+ years ago when we moved in before our son was born. An empty closet let me rethink how we store everything.

My husband’s clothes take up two-thirds of our hanging space and he swears he’s going to do a big edit soon. In the meantime, I tidied up everything else and rehung his clothes that were crooked on their hangers. The closet feels so much better with everything tidied–even if there’s still a lot that could go away.

Most of my “organizing” was a process of moving things from one place to a better one. I gathered similar items together and relocated less-frequently used items to higher shelves. When I discovered that a bin of medications that were mostly expired I realized I could fit the remaining items in the medicine cabinet.

I thought my closet project would consume a full day, but it ended up taking just four hours . If I had known that my closet could be totally transformed for zero dollars and four hours of my time, I would have done it months ago.A funny thing happened producing this article: Documenting the process made my real-life makeover more satisfying.

'And Just Like That' Staffers All Agreed Chris Noth Should Be RemovedThe cast, writers and producers of 'And Just Like That' made the collective decision to cut Chris Noth from the finale, a source tells ET. But they never cut the episode where Donald Trump appeared as himself. Living in a country where an accusation automatically equals guilty is a very scary thing. Not every person accused of a crime is guilty that is what the justice system is for. Losing your career and being shunned by society before all the facts are presented doesn’t seem fair. Innocent until proven guilty! This all seems too bogus based on his recent fame!
