Beautifully Organized Space of the Week

This week's beautifully organized space of the week is this closet from the home of Erica Cook of Moth Design, which houses her daily staples:

White Ikea frames showcase bags from some of her favorite trips and create a fun little feature wall.

A round white tray keeps all her perfumes organized and at the ready.

Clear Ikea Rationell Variera "spice racks" serve as drawer separators and keep her belts and scarves organized.
*Unfortunately the clear "spice racks" are a discontinued product (at least to my knowledge). I bought several to organize a variety of things in my own home several months ago and absolutely loved them. When I tried to go back for more, they were no longer in stock and was told by an Ikea employee that they had been discontinued :-(

Glass trays and other beautiful containers hold jewelry, watches and sunglasses. An Ikea pant rack keeps her jeans easily accessible and allows her to see exactly what she has.

So chic, wouldn't you agree?

Closet Organization: Boots

During these cold weather months it's nice to have boots easily accessible in the closet. A good way to keep them standing up straight and in an orderly line is to use boot inserts. Inserts help boots retain theirs shape and prevent them from flopping and toppling over into an unattractive pile.

You can find boot inserts at various places including here and here. For a super inexpensive alternative, use old magazines as inserts (that's what I use for my boots!). *Update: Jami of Imagine shared another super inexpensive alternative: old wine bottles!

If you'd prefer, you can hang up your boots by making something like this with cedar boot trees and large cup hooks, or using something like this or this:
