That closet with the boots clipped would be perfect if I owned nothing but an overcoat, 7 pairs of boots, 2 umbrellas and a pair of roller skates.

these all seem a bit staged or unrealistic, except the book shelves with the cool dog in the picture.

I recycled and threw away so much STUFF over the weekend and now I don't want anymore stuff to organize my stuff because now I have so much less that needs to be organized.

I think these are fabulous. The teacups in or instead of drawers and the dress form near the bedside table are fantastic.

As others have pointed out, these look great, but they only work if you have so few possessions that you don't need to organize. Ironically, I don't own hardly any stuff (3 pairs of shoes, no overcoat, 2 sweaters), but I have no space in my apartment for these types of elaborate organizers anyway. In fact, the organizers would take up much more space than the stuff itself.
