Mary's Dress-Up Clothes & Accessories Storage


Mary LOVES to play dress-up, in fact the princess clothes and accessories come out daily.  Keeping this stuff organized and easily accessible for her has become somewhat of a challenge.  At first, I kept all of her dress-up items in a basket/chest, but as the collection grew it became a big mess that was always overflowing onto her bedroom floor.  When my youngest munchkin recently outgrew her changing table, I decided to use that to help get Mary's room organized.  At first I loved it... but found that everything, although placed on a shelf, still looked very messy.

Then, while browsing Pinterest, I came across a dresser that was turned into a hanging closet for princess dresses.  At that moment, I decided to remove the shelves and add a solid metal rod to hang her dresses and voila!  The shoes are neatly kept in the top drawer and her headbands, necklaces, bracelets, boas, scarfs etc. all have their own place on top, either in the basket or in the mini-storage drawers.  Her purses and some other random items are kept in a chest and her tutus stay below in a basket.  It looks so much cleaner and she is now learning how to take better care of her favorite things!
