This is the third video in a nine-part series of “How to Organize Your Closet Like a Pro”. In this 2 minute 40 second video, I’ll cover the tools necessary to remove the existing shelf and pole. We’re prepping this closet for a new elfa® system from The Container Store. The video show you step-by-step how to remove the basic shelf and pole system found in most homes and to patch the holes. Additionally, I cover the tools you need to do this quickly and safely. This is a must watch for any person who wants to install a new closet system them self.

Recently I filmed a series of how-to videos for MonkeySee.com, a website where you can learn how to do, just about anything. They contacted me to film a series called, “How To Organize Your Closet, Like a Pro“. This nine-part series, shows all the steps I take when organizing a closet. We event show you how I ripped out the existing closet, and installed a new elfa® system from The Container Store. This is a must-watch video series for the DIY organizer.

Today, I’m sharing with you, Part One of this series. You’ll see how I turned this cluttered closet into a space perfect for this home owner. Watch out for falling ironing boards, closet organizing is hazardous work! This video is only 2 minutes and 15 seconds. The others are only three to five minutes in length. I encourage you to watch the videos and leave your comments and questions below. I’ll be posting the rest of the series here on DeClutterYou.com soon.

If you’re a woman, you likely love summer for the chance to show off your pedicure. Right?
Ok, well maybe it’s just because you love flip-flops? Either way, check out this cool option for storing, uh, hanging your flip flops. According to the Web Site, “My Pair Tree is a one-of-a-kind hanging shoe rack that holds six pairs of your favorite flip flops, crocs and sandals. Ready to hang from just about anywhere, let your latest styles bloom!”

They have a lovely selection of ribbon colors to choose from, allowing you to customize your hanger. The special hook designed for this product will hold flip-flops, Crocs, or sandals. Priced at $16.95, this shoe storage system will fit anyone’s budget!

Thanks to Jon with My Pair Tree for sending us two samples last month. I used them as door prizes when I spoke to Junior League of Washington on April 28, 2008.
