Our master closet is nice but rather small for a walk in (so I apologize for the lack of pictures. There's no room to stand to get a good picture of anything). It also doesn't help that one of our walls has a slant, making that part of the closet pretty much unusable.
We have a basic series of shelving in there with some higher up shelves for things like sleeping bags and luggage. All the lower shelves are used for clothing. Then we have a column of shelves, about a foot apart each, that are used for smaller things. We purchased baskets from the dollar store to help keep things organized for those shelves. One is full of my purses and little bags, one is for personal mementos that I don't want to display, etc. We also have a sliding pull out bar of hooks for belts and ties. That piece was rather pricey but I think worth it.
Today, I finally finished organizing the whole thing. Up until this point, we basically had just our clothes somewhat organized because we hadn't finished putting up all the shelves before we moved in.
My section of the closet is much more organized than David's--mostly because I am able to keep it that way. After laundry, with his stuff, he has a hard time sorting it back out. My categories are: short sleeve, long sleeve, sweaters, sweatshirts, jackets, and fancy (skirts, dresses, blouses). Within each category, I used to have everything color-coordinated but that got to be too much.
Some day, I would love it if our shoe rack could make it into the closet but for now, there's not a good spot for it and our bedroom is big enough to accommodate it without it being in the way too much.
I am very happy with the way it turned out today, especially because it has been so long coming. It has definitely been a process and now it's almost complete!
