Clutter challenge ~ my master closet

I continue to work on purging and organizing my closet.  My husband and I each have our own closets, but they are very small and just have one rod and one shelf.  My husband does not have nearly as many clothes as I do, so I have been able to steal a bit of space from his closet for some clothes that are overflowing from mine.  I still feel like I need more room!

Another challenge is that I store some off season linens in my closet.  I'm thinking that I should transfer those to my husband's closet and try to use the space more wisely.

I read somewhere that a good question to ask when purging clothes is, "would I buy this today?"  If not, then get rid of it!

I have thrown out quite a bit and am still going through things.  I plan to buy some huggable hangers to help organize.  I have heard that these hangers are slim and take up less room so that you can fit more in your closet and clothes don't slip off of them.

A peek at the messy "before" state of my closet:

Lara at Overstuffed wrote a great post on decluttering your closet here.  I am falling behind on the clutter challenge because she has moved on to toys and electronics and I need to work on those areas, too.  For this week, my goal is to finish decluttering my closet, make a trip to goodwill and post some after photos.  See you soon!
