Field Trip in organization

So, I went to visit my parents in Santa Maria this past weekend.  I am going to share some of my mom's organization of their home over the next few days.  Just a few neat ideas I spotted.  And later this week I'll share her BEAUTIFUL garden!  

Here you can see the guest room closet - filled with mine and my kids junk!  It used to be one long rod all the way across!

Now you can see that it's not exactly matching here.  That's because it's made up of another left over closet system and the shelf on top here is the shelf that went all the way across above the old rod in there.  

 Here's a view looking to the right of the "organizer" that they made up.  Mom said they bought two rods and put one on top and one on the bottom.  Again, the shelf is the previous shelf that was in there and moved and cut to refit it this way.  

Here's a closer look at the same set of rods.  Nothing fancy, but it sure is a good use of space.

Another close up of the middle, you can see the basket that they put on the bottom - which we used for our dirty laundry! The sides of the middle organizer are made of the leftover sides from another closet organizer and has the little holes in it all the way from top to bottom for the shelving.

The shelving, I believe, is one of the few small purchases they made.  Looking to the left of this shelving, my dad cut the existing metal rod and then attached it to the middle shelving unit.  Simple and yet a much more usable closet now.







More to come from her house of orgnization...but here is a view of the lovely room that I get to use while visiting them each time (and many of visitors that frequent their house).

 

By the way, she has also made all kinds of thoughtful things in this guest room - TV schedule with all the local channels (there is a TV in the room which is a luxury for me), an alarm clock, dresser with empty drawers, a bathroom with many guest amenities, a luggage rack, and even some biblical reading in the nightstand drawer.  She's a wonderful hostess!
