Scarf Storage Re-do

I think I am going to reach world records on how many times I re-do or update my scarf storage. But I keep finding new ideas, or figuring out that my current system isn't working quite as brilliantly as I anticipated, so then the only answer is to change it up, again.

This time wasn't a gigantic, drastic change but I do think that it will work out much better than some of my previous systems. (fingers crossed)

My scarves had ended up in a pile on the floor of the closet for like the seventh time this week. And it made me rather irritated so I snagged up the original fix supply. duct tape. it fixes everything right?
I know, a little hillbilly to fix my scarf storage with duct tape, but it was the first thing that popped in to my head and I wanted it to be strong enough to hold up. So I went with it.

I just tore it into small strips and used it to attach the top row of my shower rings to the hanger, and then to the next ring on the side. The bottom few were then attached to the bottom of the top row and to each other on the sides. It wasn't anything amazingly brilliant, but I feel like it will work out so much better, while maintaining essentially the same system. Basically I turned my old system into something more sturdy and stationary.

And I think it doesn't even look too bad, you hardly notice the duct tape :)

My warm winter scarves and homemade scarves are simply tied on to their hanger, they are a bit too thick to make it through the shower rings. But there isn't as many of them so it works out just fine.

How do you store your scarves?? Do you have a brilliant idea??

Linen Inspiration

This week I am tackling my linen closet. It houses everything from extra sheets, shampoo and cleaning supplies. I am not sure where I want to go with it. Its just a big wooden free-standing cupboard. My long term goals include painting it (inside and out), and maybe changing up the shelves. But for now, I just want some organization that works for us, and allows me to shut the doors.
So, I turned to my favorite place for organizing inspiration, Pintrest. You can follow Shannon and I on Pintrest, if you want. Sometimes we pin cool stuff. :)

I am loving this zero budget linen closet from Fox Hollow Cottage. She also has some great inspiration from other places to. Check her out if you are redoing your linen closet.

The blog Design Build Love has a 30 days to an organized home challenge with specific linen closet challenges. I love that she has a doable before and after. This is closer to what mine will look like. :)

There are many things I like about this linen closet from A Sort of Fairytale. I love the cheerful, colorful baskets. I love that they are from the dollar store. The whole make-over cost about $20! I could handle that. I also love the use of the back of the door storage. Also, this linen closet houses a lot of the same things that mine does, so that makes it easy for me to translate!

What linen closets are inspiring you lately? I can't wait for my revised linen closet to be done. I have already started with my initial purge. I didn't take a picture, but it filled a whole garbage bag!
