When it was time to move Logan into the same bedroom as Keira, we had the problem of sorting out where we were going to keep all of their clothes. Before there was two beds in the room there was a huge triple wardrobe with five drawers, a mirror and shelves that held all of Keira's clothes. Logan's clothes were always in the cupboard. It took me a while to come up with the perfect way to store them all but I'm so happy with the way it all turned out. These pictures are from when it was first done. We did a big clothes clear out as you can see!
The cupboard only had one hanging rail which was no where near enough for two kids. My plan was to buy a second rail. I already had fittings to put a second rail in. However, we were getting rid of Keira's old curtain pole which just so happened to be the perfect width for the hanging rail fittings! I got my dad to cut it to the correct size and I then fitted it in the right place! It's perfect because Keira's rail is pink and Logan's is silver. I was actually considering spray painting Logan's blue or green! Logan's clothes are on top and Keira's on the bottom.
The other half of the cupboard has shelves. It didn't originally have shelves though. It was two hanging sections. At the time I didn't need the hanging rails inside the cupboard. As I said before, Keira had a huge wardrobe. The shelves were still very much needed. The top shelf has the girls' drawers for hair accessories. I also keep Keira's hair dryer, combs/brushes and shower caps there. The second shelf is towels. I don't know if this is weird or not but the kids all have their own towels that no one else uses apart from them. I don't know how it ended up like that. I think when Keira was a baby I loved her having all her own things and it just stuck. Paul and I share towels but the 3 kids have their own. Logan's are on the left and Keira's are on the right. I keep wash mitts and face clothes in the middle. The bottom part has two big plastic storage bins. The one on the left has trouser hangers (the ones with clips! I never take ordinary hangers from shops but always the trouser ones because you can't seem to buy anywhere.) and the right box has blankets. The inside of the left door had Keira and Macey's hair clip holders. They kept falling off though so now they hang on over the door hooks on the bedroom door.
Obviously the clothes sections have changed and been filled up since I took the first pictures but the was it's organised is still pretty much the same. I keep their clothes in a certain order too. Vests, short sleeve, long sleeve, shirts, jumpers, cardigans, shorts/skirts, trousers/leggings, jeans, dresses, dressing up outfits, jackets. I did want to colour co-ordinate it but I think it would drive me nuts if things were out of place. So, for now this is just great! This is the happiest I've been with a wardrobe situation since Keira was a baby!
