Being a “Charlottean” means appreciating the mix of southern hospitality and robust work ethic that make up the city of Charlotte.   This growing business Mecca has been named “#8 of the 100 “Best Places to Live and Launch” by CNNMoney.com- cities picked for their vibrant lifestyles and opportunities for new businesses.”

Contributing to the vibrant lifestyle, It is not uncommon to find a church on every corner in the “City of Churches”. There are reportedly 700 congregations that serve a population of just over 700,000.

The churches not only add to the spiritual growth of the cities inhabitants, but also add to the scenery.   Contemporary churches are known for their state of the art engineering, but the majestic beauty of  old churches still  graces more than a few street corners.

As most of us renters know, while closet space is a nice amenity to have, it isn’t usually one of our top choices for narrowing down apartments. Therefore, we are usually stuck with whatever closet space we are given in the apartment we choose. And while a closet the size of Harry Potters Room under the stairs isn’t desirable, it’s manageable. So we’re here to provide you with a few tips on how to turn that hole in the wall of a closet, into a functional space for your wardrobe and accessories.

Tip 1: Do some ‘Spring cleaning’
The easiest way to get more room in your closet is to go through the items in there. Get rid of anything you don’t wear, haven’t seen or haven’t worn for more than a year.

Tip 2: Use all available space
If the closet you have only has one rod across the top, consider putting in a tension rod so that you can have double the space. Put the longer items on top (likes dresses and pants) and the shorter items on the bottom (like jackets, skirts and shirts). This is what I have done in my closet and it really opens the space!

Tip 3: Find Space Saver Ideas
The hanging shelf closet organizers can be used for various items. You can put sweaters, t-shirts, jeans or whatever in there. The space it takes to hang up the organizer will be more than doubled with the amount of garments you can put in there.

Tip 4: Use the back of the door
I think people underestimate the amount of room it’ll save them if they put a shoe rack or an over the door rack to hang accessories.  Instead of putting your shoes on shelves, free up those shelves with a shoe rack on the back of the door. If nothing else, you can always put a full length mirror on the back of the door so you can check yourself before you leave. That’ll save room somewhere else in your apartment.

Tip 5: Stash seasonal items
There are quite a few storage bins available in stores. You can get rolling bins for under your bed to hide non-season items. For example if you are in the summer months, there is no reason for you to have your bulky sweaters and jackets in your closet. They just take up space. Put them in a container under your bed and get them out when the weather calls for it.

So there it is, five tips to help you organize the closet in your apartment into something that is practical for your lifestyle. You will truly be surprised by the ‘magical’ transformation!

 What a great Do it Yourself tip!! I saw it in a local publication, the Link, and thought “I must share this with all you folks!” If you find a great bargain at a yard sale or thrift store, you can totally make it your own with these few steps! All you need is paint, fabric, a staple gun, and of course, the stool! J

Step 1: Paint the stool

After removing the cushion, paint the legs and base whatever color you choose.

Step 2: Remove old seat cover

If you’re not a fan of the current pattern on the cushion, using a screwdriver, remove the staples holding the fabric in place. Then paint the wood part the same color you painted the rest of the stool. While it’s drying, use the old fabric as a pattern to cut out a new fabric. 

Step 3: Assemble new stool

Using a staple gun, fasten the edges of the fabric to the bottom of the wood piece. Then place on top of the base!

There you go! Your bargain deal is refurbished into a one of a kind piece for your home! Use as a foot stool, additional seating or whatever!
