Sonia Verardo: my wardrobe organisation

Hello lovelies!

On my formspring I got a request to show you how I organise & store my clothes :)

I moved into a new appartment this year, so I do have a new way of storing my clothes, especially designed for small spaces.

I do have a lot of clothes, shoes & accessories, and my appartment is beautiful, but quite small, so I can't allow myself to take over an entire room and transform it into my walk-in closet (whishful thinking, lol...)

Before we moved into our new place, my hubby & I were looking at storage ideas for small spaces, and we found a great soultion to my "problem" at Ikea's website!

They actually showed how you can build your own walk-in closet inside of your bedroom, which is amazing!

We immediately liked this idea and decided to go with it.

However, we used only Ikea's idea, not the furniture, because my hubby & my father-in-law actually decided to build the walk in closet themselves!

So we ended up spending a lot less, we just paid for the material we needed to create my walk-in-closet's wall.

I took some pics when it was under construction, so you might get a better idea of what am I talking about...

The "skeleton" of my walk-in-closet, work in progess :)

With half of the wooden wall already up, and some clothes already piled inside of it... (!!!)

I have clothes folded and hanged inside of my walk in closet.
I usually hang my jackets, blouses, skirts etc.

All done!
The curtain is a substitute for doors :)
(we got this curtain at Leroy Merlin)

In my video, I'm trying to give you a proper tour of my walk-in-closet and show you how I store everything and how things look like from the inside of it!

I hope you'll enjoy watching, and I do appologize in advance for not having the best lighting, but I did turn on all the lights that I had, so you would be able to see everything properly!

Maybe this helps you out if you're struggling with "small storage space & too much stuff" situation! :)

A couple of pics taken while I was filming my Wardrobe Tour video:

If you'd like to, share with me the pics of your wardrobes!

Post the pics of your closet & your storage solutions on my facebook page, I'd love to see it!

& let's be friends there :)

It was requested, numerous of times, for me to do a "closet tour".

I always kindly declined to do this video, just because my closet is 80% of the time always extremely messy!

When it comes to the point that I don't even know what do I have inside& where did I put the clothes that I need for the day, well, then it's time to re-organize everything (all over again)!!

The problem with my messy wardrobe is pretty simple actually: Too much clothes- too small of a storage space.

Plus, I always keep both my summer clothes& my winter clothes in my wardrobe at any time, so you see how this might fill up the space easily!

Anyways, I also always declined to do a closet tour vid because I didn't think I have anything interesting to show you, or any particular tips to share :(

The other day, I spent the entire afternoon organising my storage room& my wardrobe.

After everything was put into place, I kind of got an inspiration to actually do this request of yours& film my wardrobe!

I had to take the chance now that everything was so nicely in order (from the pics to you it might not seem that much in order, but trust me, IT IS! Maybe I should have taken the "before" pics too...lol That would be scary...)

I also did a Wardrobe tag video, basically I answered some of the questions concerning well, my wardrobe, obviously! ;)

It's just a fun tag that I saw on youtube& thought I might just go ahead and do it, while I'm already filming a "Organizing my wardrobe/closet tour" video.

So don't forget to check out my video!

Also if you'd like to participate in this tag, you can leave me a video response under my video!

I'd love to see the "secrets" of your wardrobe!

And now, let me show you the "secrets" of mine:

My "main" wardrobe
It's actually pretty small, isn't it?
You can see my straw hat& my summer clothes,
hanged of the left side.

I have 3 compartments packed full with clothes!

Whenever I find, browsing through a fashion magazine or a catalogue,
an outfit/styling that I'd like to wear myself, I cut it out&
paste on the inside of the doors of my wardrobe!
