If you're like us, you have a closet in need of organization. We're going to try and carve out some time over the weekend to tackle our bedroom closet, but instead of poring over impossible-to-replicate photos of color-coordinated wardrobes from places like California Closets or the Container Store, we searched the AT archives for the most organized closets from real-life homes...
The shoe storage in Laura's Pared Down Perfection is drool-worthy.
Laura's closet got even better (and more spacious!) after she downsized to a tiny 250 square foot apartment.
This built-in closet by the fireplace fits lots of storage into an awkward space.
Wes and Kayla explain how to tackle a closet organization project without obsessing.
These wire drawers look like the Antonius system from IKEA - an organizational standby.
This closet is actually from our old apartment...if only our current place was so organized.
We still have this handy shoe organizer.
Judith's closet makeover project uses wallpaper to liven up an out-of-the-way storage space.
David and Im's OneSpace looks like a huge loft, but it's actually a 426 square foot apartment that won our Smallest Coolest contest in 2006.
For down to earth advice, check out Chez Laarson's Top 10 Organizing Tips.

Oh geez- I JUST redid my closet and it looks totally inadequate compared to these photos. I feel my OCDness kicking in again...
Love the plain white storage bins, I might have to try those out sometime. Clear is nice for being able to see your stuff, but then it looks cluttered.
