The new year inevitably means making (and all too often breaking) resolutions: work out more, eat healthier, etc. So let’s make one we can actually accomplish in a couple days’ time: get that closet organized.

Before you hit the ground running, it doesn’t hurt to sketch out your idea. Whether you’re planning a simple clean up and arrangement of like-colored clothes or instituting a major overhaul with custom cabinetry, a little sketch goes a long way.
Pressed for space? Draw inspiration from this small closet’s blank canvas.

Don’t forget to snap a before picture. It’ll help you relish in the feeling of accomplishment after it’s all said and done.
