How is it Thursday already? This week is flying by. I wanted to share a closet organization tip that I implemented recently. I actually learned a great trick for hanging handbags from Lara Spencer on GMA. Do any of you watch? I remember my mom watching GMA while growing up and now I try to tune in whenever I can. I happen to love Lara Spencer and her ability to turn trash into treasure. They gave a tip about using shower hooks the other day and it had my name written all over it. Love. Take a look. 
So simple. These little babies are sold everywhere. I snagged some from Target and they work great. I am using them in my closet as well as in my daughter’s. You can hang them whichever way fits best on the rod. I will admit it took some serious arm power to muscle these babies over my rod. Let’s just say they are not coming off anytime soon. But they slide back and forth very easily in case I need to shift them. While I keep some of my handbags in our mini mudroom, it’s nice to have some out of the way as well. 
Because we have the wire shelves in my daughter’s closet, I was able to hang the small end of the shower hook over her rod which allows for her little hands to hang her bags much more easily. This solved a huge pet peeve on mine. We were hanging her bags on the back of her door. Sub-optimal to say the least. Now it’s super easy for her to keep track of them and they are not falling off of her door handle.

After we created a desk space for our daughter, many of you emailed me asking about where her clothes are kept. So I thought I would show you this full shot. This is what you see if you slide the doors to the left. 
When you slide the doors to the right, her clothes disappear and she is able to use her work space. She is still loving it and I get crazy giddy when I see her little desk light on in the evening while she is working away on something.

If you are new to my blog, you may have missed when I posted about planning her outfits for the school week. Because it’s summer, we are not doing that but come fall we will be back to our old routine. Saved our sanity {ok, mine!”} big time.

So thank you GMA. So happy I saw Lara Spencer talking about these shower hooks. I still have some leftover so you know I am on the prowl for more places to hang them. Do you hang your handbags? Do you have other solutions to share with my readers. Be back tomorrow with a special tribute on a special day. cheers to getting organized for more closet organization tips you can click on the photos below

I used shower hooks in my daughter's bathroom to hang two baskets to hold stuff. They were threaded through the cloth woven baskets and onto the shower rod
I use this same trick in my laundry room on a tension rod between the shelf and wall. And also pack them with me on a trip…they come in handy on vacation too. You can hang them on the shower rod for extra towel hooks or in the closets. handy little things they are!
CUTE! I use shower hooks for my jewelry (thank you, Pinterest), but now I'll have to try them for handbags too! I love the idea of planning out kids' outfits for the school week! I have boys (ages 4 & 2), so it hasn't been a huge deal yet, but with as finicky as my oldest is, I can see it becoming an issue in the future! 😉 Hope you're having a great week, Miss Courtney!

I use a towel rod and the same shower hooks for my necklaces. It's such a great way to let them hang and not get tangled somewhere and it looks really pretty too hanging near my vanity. 🙂
SUCH a good trick! I used them in my front hall organization makeover. We hang sports equipment (tennis racquets, bike helmets, etc.), coolers and even an umbrella on shower curtain hooks. Works like a charm! I posted about it here if you'd like to see: http://www.mayricherfullerbe.com/2013/05/operation-reorganization-front-hall_22.html
I love this idea!! Too bad I have WAY too many bags to do this though!!

Love that little trick! Her closet is the cheeriest spot – just love seeing it every time!
Great idea!
Fabulous idea!
Such a clever idea! Now, I just need more closet space!! 😉
Such a great idea! I'm going to try it. 🙂
Love this idea, been hanging my bags around the top of a hanger for awhile, but this is even better! Thanks for the tip…
That is such a clever idea, I love it!! I only wish I had more rod space for bags……my husband and I are sharing a very small walk in closet and muse daily about building a new closet off our bedroom. I'll have to remember this trick if we ever do that!
What a great idea Courtney! Riley has the cutest clothes and that leopard hat is adorable. She's a mini you!
Threshold at Target is really great! I'm looking at closet organizing options and this may be worth considering and the price is right:) The shelving is nice but that requires removing the existing racks.
Such a great idea! I going to buy some of these!
I usually stuff everything in a drawer! So thanks for the tips!
The shower hook idea is brilliant. Helped me organize my things very well. Thanks Courtney 🙂
