Children’s Closet Organization in Metairie, LA
A Metairie client wanted her son’s closet back in order, with the clothes he currently wears easier to find and put away.
The closet held many totes, bags, floor baskets, and bins along with clothing in different sizes. Some items fit; others had been outgrown. We started by taking all of the clothes out, including the clothing in the baskets, bags, and bins, so each piece could be reviewed by size.
Before: Clothes in Mixed Sizes
With clothes gathered in several containers and sizes mixed together, it was hard to see what fit and what had been outgrown. The client wanted the closet reset around the clothing her son could currently wear.
As we checked sizes, items that were too small were set aside for the client to confirm whether she wanted to keep or donate them. No donation decision was made on her behalf.
Step 1 Review Clothing by Size
We took all clothing out of the closet, including the floor baskets, bags, and bins, and checked sizes one item at a time. Clothes that were too small were set aside for the client to decide whether to keep or donate.
That left the currently fitting clothes ready to sort and put back into the closet.
Step 2 Organize What Fits
We separated the remaining clothes into folded and hanging items, sorted the shoes, and organized the linens. Clothes were hung or put away, color coordinated, and a few bins were labeled.
The focus was on making the items that fit easier to see and return to their places.
What Changed
All clothes were checked, with too-small items set aside for the client to decide about.
Currently fitting clothes were sorted into folded and hanging pieces, then put away.
Shoes and linens were organized, clothes color coordinated, and a few bins labeled.
One organizer completed the work in approximately three and a half hours. The clothes that fit are now organized, and the closet looked and felt better at the end of the session.
