Why your closet should be as stylish as your clothes

Nothing feels better than a clean and organized closet. Period.

I love to get each area of my home clutter free and organized in a way that makes me feel really powerful and ready to attack my day. The first place I go, my closet! Getting rid of clothes that no longer work for me, no longer fit me, or anything that is not in perfect condition is my first task. I even have a very specific ritual that I like to do when de-cluttering my closet.

This makes for a BIG change in your day to day life. Not only is it easier to find what you are looking for, you make room for new things that make you feel good and confident when you leave your house in the morning.

Back when I did the One Room Challenge, I was so inspired by many of the other rooms done by the blogger/designer gals in the group. This walk in closet by Mimosa Lane blog just stole my heart.

I'm currently obsessed with light purple, I've painted my living room in it, and the way she used the lilac color, mixed with the gold trim and fixtures just makes it so glamorous! Who wouldn't just LOVE to get ready in here. 

Not only does the closet have plenty of organization, she added pretty touches to the room that make her smile. She has books, places to sit with pretty fabrics, a rug that's soft to step on, candles to light, flowers to smell. It's got something to delight the senses. THAT'S the key to creating spaces that impact your life, surround your self by the things that make you happy, lift you up, encourage you to be your best self!

One Room Challenge: Final Reveal

We finally made it to the final week of the One Room Challenge. I just love being a part of the ORC. It's been the best experience! This round was pretty simple for me since we just styled up my assistants chic loft office space. {She's also the magician who redesigned my website, her skills are pretty amazing} Her style is minimalist and black and white. It's a style I haven't done before but it was enough of a challenge just seeing how you work with less. I've always been one to work with more. Sometimes in life we learn, less is more. 

Let's look back to the bare bones of the space, we started with a super modern shelving unit. 

Then we added all of the amazingness above, which she loves. Antiques, modern organizational items, some fun artwork, etc. We finally were able to hang the Jonathan Adler Havana sconce which creates just the right light for her while editing her photos. Yes, she is pretty amazing at photography too. She took these pics, thankfully.

We had a rug and a big chic bucket ordered for her white photography rolls in the far corner, but I was moving over the weekend and my movers were fraud and robbed almost everything I own. Horrible situation but we will get her another one. It's a simple space so again, less is more here and the best part is, she is over the moon about how it all turned out. Now, she works in an inspiring little nook thats just for her.
