Girl’s Room Closet Organization Before and After

Last week I shared a beautiful tour of my daughter’s bedroom. What wasn’t shown was my dirty little secret. Well, more of a messy little secret – the disaster that was tucked behind the doors of her closet. We were in need some serious closet organization. Today I’m going to share our closet makeover, including my new organization system for winterizing her closet.
I’m the type of person who gets really excited about organization. Like, really excited. My daughter does not share my enthusiasm. So, since we moved in a couple of years ago, her closet has been in a constant state of disarray.
Our problem wasn’t lack of space – we were just not using it well. Her closet was stuffed with summer clothes, winter clothes, outgrown clothes, and everything in between.
So this weekend, I went online to Lowe’s to use the Rubbermaid Storage Planner.
After playing around a bit, I decided on the Rubbermaid® HomeFree Series™Closet Kit and added the 2-Drawer Unit, which we found easily in-store.
The best part about this kit is how versatile it is. We were able to adjust our plans a few times until it was just right – no cutting required.
To organize the space better, I sorted all of her outgrown clothes to store elsewhere for her younger sister to use later (aren’t hand-me-downs the best?). I decided to use our existing bins more efficiently by placing them on lower shelves where she can reach them.
I used two bins for summer clothes that she still fits into, so she can easily access them when temperatures rise again. Two more bins are for clothes that she has yet to grow into, so they are out of sight, but not out of mind.
The result is an organizer’s dream.
I’m so glad I decided to add in these drawers – they work great for her gym clothes and dance gear.
You might be wondering why I didn’t hang my final rod for additional lower hanging space. The answer is, while we do plan to install our remaining pieces eventually, we decided to leave it open for toy storage. Part of the reason we chose this system is because we knew we could adjust it as our family needs change.
And with all the extra space we created, this solution keeps us both happy.
I guess this is one less dirty little secret to keep!

I have organization envy! The closet looks amazing. Also, I need those owl storage bins!
What an amazing transformation – I need to organize my kids closets too! #client
Love it! I love using storage bins too. I also use a days of the week clothes organizer to help my girls stay organized during the week.
I love that idea!
Oh wow … it turned out great. I will definitely use this as inspiration for my little one’s closet.
This is awesome! I love how you used every bit of space & your blog is just lovely!
Thank you so much for the kind words, Tabitha!
This looks awesome! My daughter’s closet is in need of a transformation as well. It’s so hard to keep up with organizing it because I feel like she is always growing out of clothes that I’m always removing and adding.
Looks fantastic!! WOW! I definitely want to use these in our next home!
I love this! It looks great. I will be saving this for my boy’s room when we move. Thank you for sharing!
Oh my gosh, I love it, pinned to inspire me to get my daughter’s room organized!
This turned out amazing! We just moved and right now my daughter’s closet looks very much like your “before”–we will definitely be looking into this!!
Great before and after. I need to work on my daughter’s as well. Now to keep it organized, right?! 😉 Visiting from Made By You Mondays party.
I love how this turned out! It looks much better. I love how it kind of floats on the wall. And how cool that you can look online.
When we first moved into our new house the very first thing we did before moving our boxes was to paint and install these closet systems everywhere. it made it so much easier to move into organization. I love how you laid out this closet, they are so easy to reconfigure too!!
Very smart! I absolutely hate the clutter! I think I was forced to be more clean and organized when we had smaller spaces to work with.
