We already installed a low, child-accessible height shelf in the other wardrobe in which my 3yr old stores her tights/stockings, underwear and socks (in exactly the way 'i heart organizing' describes - shoe boxes). We also store occasional use items in plastic (labelled) boxes under the shelf (eg swimming gear). <br /><br />All the above help us maximise every inch of room space taken up by built-in furniture.<br /><br />Sorry for the link to another blog (not mine), but there is a image that illustrates exactly what I am talking about :<br />http://orgjunkie.com/2013/11/organizing-a-childs-closet-part-2.html<br />All the best with your organising!Minrvahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17658136930383566823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-63813457803521211112013-09-12T11:46:16.283-05:002013-09-12T11:46:16.283-05:00toooo much inspring. done like a professional. lov...toooo much inspring. done like a professional. love to see all your projects. your blog is first blog that i am reading from A to Z. honestly speaking never get bore...<br />keep bloging jen.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09225494294127049557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-79869497239817484262013-08-07T16:47:38.875-05:002013-08-07T16:47:38.875-05:00Totally agree about putting stuff away as outfits!...Totally agree about putting stuff away as outfits!!

We moved our two younger boys together in a room and they no longer use a dresser, only hang their items {shirts/pants}, so they don't use the folder any longer but our oldest son still does.<br />3. If the kids only have their clothes on for a short time, they can wear them again another day. Jeans are always worn 2-3 days depending on how worn they are. We try to limit how much laundry we have to do because with a family of five, it absolutely adds up quickly.<br /><br />xoxo,<br />JenIHeart Organizinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05084013302005288836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-87463736251229492722012-05-06T06:06:01.547-05:002012-05-06T06:06:01.547-05:00Hello, I'm new to your blog. I know this post ...Hello, I'm new to your blog. I know this post is from a couple of years ago, but I have a few questions: 1. Does the flip and fold work for pants, jeans and shorts, or only shirts? We hang up all of our shirts (even t shirts) to save dresser space, and right now my boys' "pants" drawers are driving me crazy. They just cram 'em in (if they even put them away at all). Maybe I just need to invest the time to make my boys learn and practice folding pants/jeans?<br />2. I often see what looks to be a great idea, but wonder if it really works in the long term. So I'm just wondering, now, 2 years later: Do your boys still fold and put away their own shirts? I fear that in my family they would think it was cool at first, but would quickly realize that it's still "work" and lose interest.<br />3. (This question might be beyond the scope of this blog, BUT...) how do you organize/manage clothes that may have been worn for a short time but aren't actually dirty yet? Do they go back into their drawers? Or does everything go straight to laundry land even if it's only been worn for a few hours?<br />Thanks for your great blog---I'm enjoying catching up!Amy W.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-64449662661263152082012-04-10T09:56:18.862-05:002012-04-10T09:56:18.862-05:00Cool!!!!!!Cool!!!!!!Angela https://www.blogger.com/profile/09788249385541969671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-79551368329307577102012-03-07T14:36:29.374-06:002012-03-07T14:36:29.374-06:00Jen - I just found your site while searching for s...Jen - I just found your site while searching for some ideas on how to convert my daughter's closet into a desk space.
