Yes, I know. Disgusting. It occurred to me that I had been going about things all wrong. Yes, I hate hanging and folding, but I LOVE organizational systems. Clearly, a trip to Target was in order. I bought a bunch of linen cubes and sweater boxes and such. Also, I bought the Rubbermaid "Configurations" closet organizer thing. The problem with my closet was that it only had one rod.

wow, case, looks great.
if only i had a closet of any kind.
i love it all!! especially the thing to hold jewelry. but warning, once you start organizing the closet it's hard to stop. It becomes yet another thing that weekly you have to clean and when it's dirty it keeps you up at night. you have opened a can of work, an extremely well organized can of worms
